I want to generate a link to the sales create order page (manual order page) in the admin and submit a customer id so that it opens automatically with the customers details filled out in the address form.
index.php/admin/sales_order_create/index/key
I know sometimes a $this->getUrl('path') works but I can't find any instructions online for setting a customer before the page loads. A solution like the following would obviously be ideal.
$this->getUrl('sales/order/create/', $customer_id);
