How do you load this module?

There is a read me file that comes with the module. That contains the installation instructions. It reads as follows:
Install / Ugrade:
=================
1. Upload the entire contents of the “admin” folder to your website. All directories are already named for you and there are no files to overwrite so it should be easy.
NOTE: If you changed the name of your “admin” directory to something else, then upload to that directory.
2. Login Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches and run the following file query:
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a previous version, you do not need to re-run this SQL command as your database should already contain this field.
ALTER TABLE orders ADD downloaded_ship ENUM( ‘yes’, ‘no’ ) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘no’;
3. Enjoy!

can this module export the product attributes data automatically when an order is placed or during an order being processed. to a specific folder for processing.
for instance, I have a business card builder, a company will enter their information and choose specific graphics, when a generate graphics button is pressed a file with the attributes can be exported to a build folder where another server is watching for data files, when a file exists it is processed and the graphics are generated and the customer sees their proof. once the proof is approved the customer can finish the checkout process.
thanks for your help. Bob

Bob,
The current module does not have that capability. However, if you are interested in adding it as a custom job, feel free to contact me. I’m sure we can get a solution for you in place.

Hi!
I love this module. It’s exactly what I’ve been searching for. I have two questions. I exported my sales report; however, I have 1361 sales and it only exported 1219. How could I have gotten it to export more than the 1219?
Also, can I reset it so I can export again? I know about the test mode. I tried that first. When it didn’t export all 1361, I tried it without the test mode, and it still only exported 1219. Help!
Thanks in advance for your quick response! I really appreciate your help.

Is there any way to have the customer’s first and last name be output to separate columns?

One more question….if I have several attributes associated with a product is it possible to have each of those show up in a separate column?

This can be done, but it would have to be custom programmed. I’ve been trying to get a new version out here of this for some time now … just haven’t got around to final completion with other projects.
Again, this is possible with custom programming. There is one big problem with that though. One of the very first releases of this module did that. The problem is that because some products may have multiple attributes while others do not (or have less), the resulting set of columns generated is thrown off.
Most import programs don’t like this differentiation.
If you wanted it completed, I can get it done, but I won’t release that to the public as it can cause most import programs to refuse the file.

Totally new to this, so excuse my ignorance. I am suppose to load all the files included within the “admin” folder you provide with your product to the Admin folder that Zen Cat already provides?
Thanks for your patience.
