How Do I Output Delivery Instructions for Magento? - magento

Question

I am trying to create a script that I can access via URL so that it outputs delivery details, specifically the fields I need to display are: orderID, status, gift_message and a custom customer address attribute that is called "delivery_instructions". So far I have the following, but I am stuck with trying to get the delivery instructions, any help would be much appreciated.
<?php
require_once 'app/Mage.php';
Mage::app('default');
$myOrder=Mage::getModel('sales/order');
$orders=Mage::getModel('sales/mysql4_order_collection');
$message = Mage::getModel('giftmessage/message');
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer');
$orders->addFieldToFilter('total_paid',Array('gt'=>0)); //Amount paid larger than 0
//$orders->addFieldToFilter('gift_message_id',Array('gt'=>0));
$allIds=$orders->getAllIds();
foreach($allIds as $thisId) {
$myOrder->reset()->load($thisId);
$shippingAddress = $myOrder->getShippingAddress();
$customerDetails = $myOrder->getCustomer();
//echo $myOrder->shippingaddress->getData('delivery_instructions');
$customer_id = $myOrder->getCustomerId() . "',";
echo $customer_id . "',";
echo "'" . $myOrder->getStatus() . "',";
echo "'" . $myOrder->getIncrementID() . "',";
$gift_message_id = $myOrder->getGiftMessageId();
if(!is_null($gift_message_id)) {
$message->load($gift_message_id);
echo $gift_message = $message->getData('message') . "',";
};
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load( $customer_id);
echo $customer = $customer->getData('incrementId');
echo "\r\n";
echo "<br/ >";
}
?>

Answer 1

You are close with this:
//echo $myOrder->shippingaddress->getData('delivery_instructions');
In order to get the shipping address object you need to use:
$myOrder->getShippingAddress()
and to get the delivery_instruction from the shipping address object:
$myOrder->getShippingAddress()->getDeliveryInstructions()

Answer 2

You can create custom address attributes and custom customer attributes.
Customer attributes can be accessed like this:
// A customer is not mandatory for an order.
if($myOrder->getCustomerId()){
$customer = Mage::getModel(’customer/customer’)->load($myOrder->getCustomerId());
$customer->getDeliveryInstructions();
}
Address attributes can be accessed like this:
$myOrder->getShippingAddress()->getDeliveryInstructions();
