Magento how to create shipping label dynamically - magento

Question

I need to generate shipping label dynamically once order is placed.
I have fedex shipping method configured and works fine for setting the order status to shipping once order placed and from admin am able to create shipping label manually and it is giving pdf when i click Print Shipping label after shipping label created.
Now this process needs to be automated - how i can able to create hipping labels dynamically? Is there any observer or class overwriting examples. Please help me to create shipping label dynamically

Answer 1

If you want an official Shipping Label with bar code you will need to purchase an extension like this one:

The extension has a cahcing feature where it will store all of your shipping labels so you can easily re-print them at anytime.

Answer 2

As know, you can print shipping label only when have invoice. We want let you know extension can help you solved. Or you can check our code for create
Magento 1: http://www.mlx-store.com/magento-extensions/shipping/print-shipping-label.html
Magento 2: http://www.mlx-store.com/magento2-extensions/shipping/print-shipping-label-for-magento-2.html
or use code
Below is the controller.
public function printShippingLabelAction(){
$ids= $this->getRequest()->getPost('order_ids');
if (!empty($invoicesIds)) {
$orders = Mage::getResourceModel('sales/order')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addAttributeToFilter('entity_id', array('in' => $ids))
->load();
if (!isset($pdf)){
$pdf = Mage::getModel('sales/order_pdf_order')->getPdf($orders );
} else {
$pages = Mage::getModel('sales/order_pdf_order')->getPdf($orders );
$pdf->pages = array_merge ($pdf->pages, $pages->pages);
}
return $this->_prepareDownloadResponse('order'.Mage::getSingleton('core/date')->date('Y-m-d_H-i-s').
'.pdf', $pdf->render(), 'application/pdf');
}
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
}
Create model
class Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Pdf_Order extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Pdf_Invoice
{
public function getPdf($orders = array())
{
$this->_beforeGetPdf();
$this->_initRenderer('order');
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$this->_setPdf($pdf);
$style = new Zend_Pdf_Style();
$this->_setFontBold($style, 10);
foreach ($orders as $order) {
$page = $this->newPage();
$this->insertLogo($page, $order->getStore());
$this->insertAddress($page, $order->getStore());
$this->insertOrder(
$page,
$order,
Mage::getStoreConfigFlag(self::XML_PATH_SALES_PDF_INVOICE_PUT_ORDER_ID, $order->getStoreId())
);
$this->insertDocumentNumber(
$page,
Mage::helper('sales')->__('Order # ') . $order->getIncrementId()
);
$this->_drawHeader($page);
foreach ($order->getAllItems() as $item){
if ($item->getOrderItem()->getParentItem()) {
continue;
}
$this->_drawItem($item, $page, $order);
$page = end($pdf->pages);
}
$this->insertTotals($page, $order);
if ($order->getStoreId()) {
Mage::app()->getLocale()->revert();
}
}
$this->_afterGetPdf();
return $pdf;
}}
