UPDATE **23-09-2017

  • Added Remove/Untag Order Comment On the fly

Ok so it’s been a while since I last updated this thread but i thought I’d share some progress on the ON THE FLY order tagging/commenting.
In the beginning we could add comments as tags on the go. Now we can also remove them on the go :smiley:

NOTE: Removing a comment as of now only applies to any comment added using the “ORDER COMMENT” button

Database Import File

I’m hoping for some this tutorial was easy to follow… However in the case that it wasn’t and you really want to implement this feature , I have attached the file which includes all the rules, actions and buttons outlined in this tutorial. So all you have to do is download it, and import it into your SambaPOS database. Once imported you can use it straight away.
OC_Custom Order Comments Module.zip (1.4 KB)
If you don’t know how to import this file please follow the link below

I intend to keep improving on this tool and future tools as well. Any suggestions and feedback is highly appreciated and taken into consideration. Any issues just let me know.

Regards

Shivan
