FAQ

Q: Is it possible to show the order notes on the invoice and/or packing slip?
A: Yes. There are four constants in admin/includes/classes/observers/NotesObserver.php:
   const PACKINGSLIP_NOTES_TOP = false;
   const PACKINGSLIP_NOTES_BOTTOM = true;
   const INVOICE_NOTES_TOP = false;
   const INVOICE_NOTES_BOTTOM = true;
Set these according to whether you want the notes to appear on the top or bottom of each place.

Then merge in the notifier blocks that are used in Zen Cart 1.5.8 to your version:
  • NOTIFY_ADMIN_ORDERS_PACKINGSLIP_ADDITIONAL_DATA_TOP or NOTIFY_ADMIN_ORDERS_PACKINGSLIP_ADDITIONAL_DATA_BOTTOM from admin/packingslip.php
  • NOTIFY_ADMIN_ORDERS_INVOICE_ADDITIONAL_DATA_TOP or NOTIFY_ADMIN_ORDERS_INVOICE_ADDITIONAL_DATA_BOTTOM from admin/invoice.php

The result looks like this for display at the bottom:
