ZT Order Status Manager

Implemented 6

Full OCMOD Modernization: Re-engineered the legacy extension into native OpenCart 3.0 OCMOD architecture without modifying any core store files.
Automatic Default Color Seeding: Automatically configures beautiful, professional status colors out-of-the-box upon installation for Complete, Cancelled, Pending, Shipped, and Missing Orders.
Missing Orders Support: Added native background and text color customization and filtering for incomplete checkouts and Missing Orders.
Equal-Width Auto-Equalizer Badges: Dynamically measures the longest status text on the page and expands all status buttons to the exact same width horizontally for a sleek, aligned table layout.
Interactive Inline Status Popover: Store administrators can click directly on any order status badge to change the status on the spot without leaving the page.
Asynchronous Batch Status Updates: Process status updates across multiple selected orders simultaneously with real-time animated progress bar feedback.

Improved 4

Cancel Action in Status Popups: Added a dedicated Cancel button to the inline order status popup to easily dismiss the dialog without saving accidental changes.
Accidental Mass Status Safeguard: Automatically detects and pre-selects the active current status in the bulk update modal so accidental submissions preserve the existing status rather than cancelling orders.
Safe Customer Notification Defaults: Changed the default customer email notification option to "No" across all status update dialogs to prevent accidental emails to customers.
High-Performance Non-Blocking Requests: Replaced obsolete synchronous AJAX with non-blocking sequential processing to prevent browser freezes during bulk updates.

Fixed 4

PHP 8.1+ Compatibility: Resolved undefined array key notices and fatal errors to deliver 100% stable compatibility on PHP 7.4 through PHP 8.3+.
Blank Popover Display: Eliminated race conditions and caching issues that previously caused the inline status change popup to render blank on first click.
Master Checkbox Synchronization: Fixed the header "Select All" checkbox so selecting all orders correctly activates the bulk status change button.
Database Setting Garbage Collection: Automatically cleans up color settings when an order status is deleted in OpenCart settings to eliminate orphan database records.

Security 2

Strict API Session Validation: Hardened internal API session tokens and remote address checks for order status modifications.
Input Sanitization & URL Encoding: Fully sanitized comment fields and status identifiers with URL encoding to protect against injection and encoding errors.
