Cartthrob packing slip template doesn't display channel fields

Question

Here's a simplified version of my packing slip template code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="orders" limit="1" status="open|New|Shipped" dynamic="no" entry_id="{entry_id}"}

<h1>{title}</h1> <!-- Shows order number OK -->

<p><strong>Ship to:</strong> {order_shipping_first_name} {order_shipping_first_name}</p> <!-- Shows nothing -->

{exp:cartthrob:order_items order_id="{entry_id}"}

<p>{item:title} {item:price} {item:quantity} {item:subtotal}</p> <!-- Order items display OK, but I get a PHP warning -->

{/exp:cartthrob:order_items}

{/exp:channel:entries}

If I replace {entry_id} with an actual order entry_id and view the template outside of the control panel, it displays everything just fine:

However, if I set it as the packing slip template in the CT system settings and click 'Print packing slip', it brings up the template OK, but won't display anything other than the {title} tag from the orders channel and throws a PHP warning when displaying the order items:

Am I using the wrong template tags, or is this a bug in Cartthrob?

Right - I've now installed the example CT templates and tried to use that and... It still doesn't work:

Answer 1

I'd check that your actually passing the entry_id correctly. But i'd also make sure your not disabling anything on the channel entries loop with the disable="" parameter.

If in doubt, try adding dynamic="no" as well ;)

Answer 2

This appears to be the same problem as here: Cartthrob PHP Error when checking out. Perhaps Chris Newton's suggested fix would solve the problem for now.

Answer 3

Aargh! The issue was with boldminded's Publisher module.

Not sure what the problem is, but if I disable that, the fields come through onto the packing slip no problem at all. Now I just need to see if upgrading Publisher to 1.2.2 makes a difference.

I wish these expensive CT add-ons would play together a bit better :-/
