Thanks DrByte,
I’ll make those modifications later.
What I explain here is really a quick hack that I put together in 3 hours, an evening I could not find sleep, so it’s sure up for improvement.

I just thought it could/would be interesting to other zen-cart users.

Tripy.

In your odt.php file, you could delete these 2 lines:
require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'currencies.php'); $currencies = new currencies();

and then delete the large block of code after this line:
include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order.php');

… up until your section that begins like this:
/** * Handle XML output * */

All you really need to do to accomplish the same end result is to load application_top and the order class. Your code does all the rest.
You might want to build in some error checking to be sure that it has a valid order ID in the $_GET parameters just for safe-keeping as an enhancement.

PHP errors ?
I haven’t seen anyone. I’ve seen a javascript error in internet explorer, but that is related to wordpress, not this snapshot service

Beside, I must say it’s a service I run myself (http://www.web-screenshots.com), and I think it adds something.
And really, it’s effective only on links, and it’s not THAT intrusive.

I strongly recommend you to lose that screenshot plugin because it creates lotsa PHP errors. More, it’s damn annoying.
