Introduction

The members dispatch page has been created to allow the rendering of order dispatch notes.

Members Dispatch Page

The relative URL to access the members dispatch page is structured as /members/dispatch/123,234,345 where 123,234,345 is a comma separated list of order ids.

This page can be accessed only by logged in users.

At the time of rendering the page, Aurora performs checks to see if the order ids provided in a URL are assigned to the currently logged in user. If they do not, data for those orders are not retrieved and passed to the template.

The template used for this page should be located within your templates directory and named as "members/dispatch.tpl.html".

Members Summary & Orders Pages

Links to a members dispatch page can be created using the same method as link to order invoices.

Example:

<a href="{if $language_iso}/{$language_iso}{/if}/members/dispatch/{$order.id}" class="members_button" target="_blank">{site_text page="Member Orders" part="Link: Despatch Note" }</a>
