[TYPO3-shop] Lost orders

[Franz Holzinger]

Hello Christian,

at the moment the order tracking only shows the not hidden orders. You 
should inhance it with a check box which will enable to show also the 
hidden orders. Then you could add a button to finalize a hidden order 
from the tracking. I think that a different CSS should be used to list 
the not finalized orders.
This would certainly be much easier than writing a backend module, 
because you can reuse all classes and methods in the FE.

Greetings,

Franz
