Update Order Status Programmatically?

[robsmith]

I'm using Miva Merchant 5.5 PR8. Is there a way to update the order status programmatically using Miva Script? We use an older custom mvc that updates the order status through the Viking Coders Order Status Manager plugin. I would like to update this code to utilize the new Miva order status functions. I get the results I want when I manually use the admin Import Data XML and the OrderShipment_Add and OrderShipment_SetStatus xml (from the master provide file - sample below). Is there a way to do this programmatically? Can the same function be called that the Import Data XML uses?

<OrderShipment_Add order_id="1234">
    <ProductList>
        <Product product_code="STDPROD001" quantity="1" />
    </ProductList>
    <Code>01741-20120515-01185</Code>
</OrderShipment_Add>
<OrderShipment_SetStatus code="01741-20120515-01185">
    <MarkAsShipped>1</MarkAsShipped>
    <TrackingNumber>0000000012345678912345</TrackingNumber>    
    <TrackingType>USPS</TrackingType>
    <ShipDate>
        <Day>15</Day>    
        <Month>05</Month>
        <Year>2012</Year>
    </ShipDate>
</OrderShipment_SetStatus>

Re: Update Order Status Programmatically?

Hey Rob,

Importing the XML you've generated systematically is certainly possible. We've developed a command-line tool that can be implemented through our professional services division. One requirement of running server-level tasks is that you have a dedicated box or sufficient access.

Please shoot me a direct email ([email protected]) and we can talk further.

Best,
