Bulk order status update

Hi Guys,

I need to bulk update the order status on multiple orders.

I know this isn't possible as standard but I was thinking there must be a way of doing it.

I think I can do it by adding a checkbox next to each order in the list and obviously a button at the bottom. Upon selecting the orders and pressing the button it opens a new page in a lightbox with a dropdown to select the status.

When you select the status and press update it will call the nopcommerce function to update the orders. This is where I need help! Is there anything I can use to do this?

I was thinking of passing the checked order id's to the lightbox page via querystring i.e: /bulk-update-orders.aspx?orderids=1,2,3,4,5

Then once you press update, it loops the id's and updates each order, lightbox closes and the orders list is refreshed.

I'm sure it can be done but need a little help ;)

Will let you know how I get on.

Thanks,

Dave

You may want to look into doing it with Telerik MVC Grid AJAX.  (Google "telerik mvc grid custom buttons").
I don't know if they ever created custom button functionality, but you can use "Template" in grid columns.  I don't think there are so many options requiring a dropdown, and also the options would be different depending on current status,thus just put the appropriate link(s) in the grid.
