Order Edit: Extract name and country from delivery address

[Moxamint]

Hi,

In admin=>orders=>edit of any order, the page title is something like "Order #56", for example. To make the order number match a specific naming convention, I need to extract the customer/recipient's name and the country name from the delivery address to add to the page title. How do I do that?

I know the code displaying all data of an order is in admin/actions/orders/views/edit.php, and I am aware I probably need to change the core code. I tried extracting the data mentioned above but failed.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Eddy

Instead of editing core, I think you could hi-jack the action and redirect it to your custom action with a hook.
Alternatively, you might be able to just hook in some JavaScript to append the data to the title.

If you look in invoice.php, I think you can see how to get the data you need.

Sorry for being brief and vague, I'll try to expound on stuff, if you need it!

Unlike customer data, name and country in delivery & billing addresses are merged into $address for invoice.php, so I probably need to do my own database query to get those data separately - at least, that's the only way I can think of. I do not know enough to code a hook or js to change the behavior of the original code. Probably time for me to learn coding in new ways.

I think you could make a hook in includes/hooks/admin/orders listening to inject_redirects, which would have to check for action=edit and then redirect to action=your_custom_edit.

If going the JS-way, there is a function that gets elements from classes (https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_doc ... ssname.asp) after which you should be able to append your custom data. So still includes/hooks/admin/orders, but probably just listening to injectSiteend (or whatever it's called) with some php that adds the data to variables that you then add to the JS (there are examples of this last part in some of the supporters code - in fact all that adds a new tab for product-edits, if I remember correctly). The data should be obtainable with either (or maybe both) $order->info or $customer_data->get, but I don't remember exactly how.

Thanks, Daniel - much appreciated! I'll do my best and give it a try. Cheers, Eddy

I wish you good luck!
If you get stuck, I think I could be a little more helpful, and maybe others know better than me - as a PRO-Supporter you have of course also the option to post in the VIP-forum to get expert advice from core coders, should we fail to solve things here. So at least there is a fallback;)
-anyway, I look forward to hear of your progress!

Thanks to @zipurman who coded for me a hook with 24 lines of js. It is kind of tricky, though, as the "ship to" address is just a block of text separated by line breaks. Anyway, it's perfectly working!
