Magento Dashboard > get total orders and totals shipment for a date

Question

I'd like to add a number of statistics to the magento admin dashboard, see attached image. I would need a php script that would count the number of orders for a certain status on a certain date.

For example: count all orders with status 'processing' on date 'today'.

For shipments: count all shipments that on date 'today'.

Thanks for all the help!

Answer 1

It requires some magento knowledge to integrate such scripts in your dashboard, but the statistics you require are certainly possible. You can get status history information from the 'sales/order_status_history' model and current order information from the 'sales/order' model.

Did you check if any of the statistics you need are available in the Reports section by the way?
