I'm not sure why you'd want to remove the whole checkout confirm process. Or why you don't want to get any details from the customer during checkout, so just add menu to cart and the confirm your order. Well to add order to the database, the order data sent must have some customer information (name, email, password and so on). You can hard code this details within the Checkout controller so once the user is directed to the checkout page, you call the Orders_model->addOrder with the dummy customer data to add the order to database and right after call the Orders_model->completeOrder() (this will update the order status and send a confirmation email), then redirect to checkout/success. Let me know if that helps.

The admin nav menu is built in admin/views/*/theme_config.php

I think its interesting what you're trying to do. It should be possible to use the email from the external database in orders. Have you had a look at _validateCheckout() method in Checkout? What have you done so far on adding the order to database?

So I am using this great piece of software and I would've liked to edit it for the use of 1 restaurant without the ordering system. (confirmation process) and extended admin rules.

I have done quite some editing but can't seem to do the following:

1 - I want to skip the 'Checkout'-process when an user hits the 'Checkout'-button at the view-menu page. Like I want to confirm and finish the order (aka save in the DB) from the moment that the checkout button is pushed. I want to delete the whole /confirm process.

2 - Admin: I want to edit (hide/add) options in the sidebar nav menu on the left. I can't seem to find the menu however in admin/views/* ? I can't seem to locate the building of the menu.

Thanks!

Hello, thanks for your reply.

What I'm trying to simulate, is a (simulated) restaurant where the waiters have tablets and can fill in orders for clients.

The client list is however in a extended DB, so I use the 'Customers'-login in admin as the Waiters-login. (so a waiter chooses a client by his/her email and checks what he/she wants to eat).

I managed to edit the admin page, thanks for that.

I am now trying to edit the order process. I managed to add a dropdown in the cart_module with a list of emails that comes from another PHP-database.

What I'm trying to do now, is to save the selected email as the finalized email while ordering.

So what I have:

(Notice the " Client: " - > emails come from another database (phpmyadmin) )

What I'm trying to do now - > use that email in the order where the admin sees it under 'orders'. :/

I'm guessing it's quite a difficult thing to do. I analyzed the code and it gets all the details from Customer so I'm guessing this is 'impossible' to do?

Thanks for your help!

Hey,

I managed to skip 2 of the 3 steps when the order is saved but didn't manage to save it with the 'chosen' email. I am going to work on it today and will keep you updated.

I have checked the _validateCheckout() method indeed and will be playing with it around to see if I can accomplish what I wanted.

I tried to edit the email but sadly hasn't worked.

I have named my dropdown box: <select id="select_email" name="select_email"> //php code showing emails </select>

and tried to change the order_data variable in _validateCheckout(): $order_data['email'] = $this->input->post('email');

$order_data['email'] = $_POST['select_email'];

I will still be trying as I need to implement it somewhere else most probably.

Thank you very much for your replies
