Easy One Click Re-Ordering

[lesliekirk]

On the LOGN screen, one of the bullet list items is "Easy One Click Re-Ordering" - what exactly is meant by that? Is the customer supposed to be able to reorder from the Order History?

Hi Leslie,

Yes...and no. In a default install of Miva, that option is available from order history. However, if a product has attributes, you are directed to PATR. This wasn't a desirable solution when the Legacy ReadyThemes were created. Some have a link to the product page, others do not. This is something I hope to address in the current line of ReadyThemes.

Was it from the ORDS or the ORDH screen?

Is this still reordering by "order"? We've found its more effective to display a list of PRODUCTS order (by cycling through each order, and pulling the products into a singular array, then displaying the product in a ADPM list with quantity inputs. (But yea, those attributes can be pesky.)

It would be nice if the entire order could be placed with a single click but the method that Matt nixed was to order each product individually. If that method is the only way, then it would be nice to stay on the page and the mini-basket dropdown. But as Matt has already pointed out - the attributes get in the way. The use of the Multi-Add (ADPM) action might be a good starting point if the attributes can be included.

I don't see why you couldn't add the attribute codes to the "re order" link...just need to be clear that they are ordering the EXACT same product with defined attributes.
