Magento Admin – Custom Button on View Order

orders

I am trying to create a button on the Magento View Order page that when I click it, it will email a certain vendor using information that is contained on the order and items in the order.

I have successfully created the module, and the button, I can click the button and it displays a warning type message. But I cannot figure out how to make the button perform the action. Currently the button is just going to a URL.

Here is what I have:

MG_Dropship.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <MG_Dropship>

            <!-- Whether our module is active: true or false -->
            <active>true</active>

            <!-- Which code pool to use: core, community or local -->
            <codePool>local</codePool>

        </MG_Dropship>
    </modules>
</config>

config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <MG_Dropship>
            <version>0.0.1</version>
        </MG_Dropship>
    </modules>

    <!-- Configure our module's behavior in the global scope -->
    <global>

    <blocks>
         <adminhtml>
            <rewrite>
                <sales_order_view>MG_Dropship_Block_Adminhtml_Sales_Order_View</sales_order_view>
            </rewrite>
        </adminhtml>
    </blocks>

    </global>

</config>

View.php

<?php

class MG_Dropship_Block_Adminhtml_Sales_Order_View extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Sales_Order_View {
    public function  __construct() {

        parent::__construct();

        $this->_addButton('dropship', array(
            $message = "Are you sure you want to dropship?",
            'label'     => Mage::helper('Sales')->__('Dropship'),
            'onclick'   => "confirmSetLocation('{$message}','{$this->getUrl('MG_Dropship')}')"
        ));
    }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One note there, you could do it easily without a rewrite:

Observe core_block_abstract_to_html_before (add the event in your adminhtml node) and in your observer add:

 public function core_block_abstract_to_html_before($observer)
    {
        $block = $observer->getBlock();
        if ($block instanceof Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Sales_Order_View && $block->getRequest()->getControllerName() == 'sales_order') {
            $orderId = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('order_id');
            $block->addButton('dropship', array(
                'label' => Mage::helper('sales')->__('Dropship'),
                'onclick' => "confirmSetLocation('" . $message . "','" . Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl('adminhtml/sales_order_dropship/dropship', array('id'=>$order_id)) . "')",
                'class' => 'go'
            ));

        }
    }

Following this, if you need functionality from sales block create your own block, extend the sales block and create your own controller.

Concerning your url (if you want to keep your way of working), you should use:

'onclick' => "confirmSetLocation('" . $message . "','" . Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl('adminhtml/sales_order_dropship/dropship', array('id'=>$order_id)) . "')"

This should work as you have overriden the block that controller calls.

Sorry for the large amount of edits, seems it's not my day today :)

Magento – Display product attribute in admin sales order view

The template file for the "name" column in the sales backend is app/design/adminhtml/default/sales/items/column/name.phtml

Working with that file, you will be able to what you are after.

To avoid core changes, i'd suggest creating a module with a layout update

    <adminhtml_sales_order_view> 
        <reference name="order_items"> 
            <action method="addColumnRender">
                <column>name</column>
                <block>adminhtml/sales_items_column_name</block>
                <template>module_name/sales/items/column/name.phtml</template>
            </action>
            <action method="addColumnRender">
                <column>name</column>
                <block>adminhtml/sales_items_column_name_grouped</block>
                <template>module_name/sales/items/column/name.phtml</template>
                <type>grouped</type>
            </action>
        </reference> 
    </adminhtml_sales_order_view>

You can also attach this override to other adminhtml_sales layouts, using the same reference/action methods above...

<adminhtml_sales_order_invoice_new /> <adminhtml_sales_order_invoice_updateqty /> <adminhtml_sales_order_invoice_view /> (use invoice_items reference for this layout) <adminhtml_sales_order_shipment_new /> <adminhtml_sales_order_shipment_view /> (use shipment_items reference for this layout) <adminhtml_sales_order_creditmemo_new /> <adminhtml_sales_order_creditmemo_updateqty /> <adminhtml_sales_order_creditmemo_view /> (use creditmemo_items reference for this layout)

Hope that helps

Magento – Magento: add button on order view page with custom module

I think your problem is that the <blocks> tag from your config.xml is not in the right place.
It should be a child of the node <global>

So make your config.xml look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <CPT_TCS>
      <version>
        1.0.0
      </version>
    </CPT_TCS>
  </modules>
  <global>
  <blocks>
    <cpttcs>
      <class>CPT_TCS_Block</class>
    </cpttcs>
    <adminhtml>
      <rewrite>
        <sales_order_view>CPT_TCS_Block_Adminhtml_Sales_Order_View</sales_order_view>
      </rewrite>
    </adminhtml>
  </blocks>
  </global>
</config>

Alternative
You don't need to rewrite the order view block to add a button. you can do it cleaner with an observer.
Add this in the config.xml of your module under the config root note.

<adminhtml>
    <events>
        <controller_action_layout_render_before_adminhtml_sales_order_view>
            <observers>
                <ctp_tcs>
                    <class>ctptcs/adminhtml_observer</class>
                    <method>addTcsButton</method>
                </ctp_tcs>
            </observers>
        </controller_action_layout_render_before_adminhtml_sales_order_view>
    </events>
</adminhtml>

Then declare your models in the same config.xml.
Under the <global> tag add this:

<models>
    <cpttcs>
        <class>CPT_TCS_Model</class>
    </cpttcs>
</models>

Then create the observer class CTP/TCS/Model/Adminhtml/Observer.php

<?php 
class CTP_TCS_Model_Adminhtml_Observer 
{
    public function addTcsButton($observer) {
        $block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->getBlock('sales_order_edit');
        if (!$block){
            return $this;
        }
        $order = Mage::registry('current_order');
        $url = Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl(
            "CPT_TCS/order/doSomething",
            array('order_id'=>$order->getId())
        );
        $block->addButton('cygtest_resubmit', array(
                'label'     => Mage::helper('sales')->__('Send TCS'),
                'onclick'   => 'setLocation(\'' . $url . '\')',
                'class'     => 'go'
        ));
        return $this;
    }
}
