The generation of the option-enums and the variants with the admin-UI works fine, the product variants are displayed in the store-frontend, but when I try to buy the product nothing is placed into the shopping cart.

Tags called from embedded perl often have a different order for the arguments. ictags should list them. Possibly you need to do sth equivalent to [perl tables=...] in your order profile.

From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (CHRIS KNIGHT) Date: Thu Nov 1 10:46:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Problem with modular options Marc, the following quote is taken from an email sent to me by Dave Jenkins from the Interchange support team; "... Before going any further, note that modular options *are not yet functional*. It had been decided to pull them out of 4.8, with the target of including them in 5.0, but somehow the admin code to enable them is still in the UI. Do not use it. ..." not good news but I hope it saves you effort trying. Chris >>> Marc.Sachtleber@offis.de 11/1/01 1:09:36 AM >>> Hi All, I m using Interchange 4.8.2 on Suse Linux with mysql 9.38 and Perl 5.6.1 and I ve got a problem in generating products with modular options. The generation of the option-enums and the variants with the admin-UI works fine, the product variants are displayed in the store-frontend, but when I try to buy the product nothing is placed into the shopping cart. The error-log says: 134.106.52.36 oNJ9ooAj:134.106.52.36 - [31/Oktober/2001:17:01:43 +0100] LGNCatalog /cgi-bin/LGNCatalog/order.html Attempt to order missing product code: 00027-2-2 A product variant with this code has been entered into the "options" table of the database by the admin-UI, but it seems that it is not found by the shopping cart. Can anybody help me or at least tell me, what entries have do be placed into the database to define a product with modular options? Perhaps I can enter the values manually. By the way: The "Hand-Plane"-example from the demoshop works fine. Thanks Marc Sachtleber _________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

Remove the Catalog line from interchange.cfg, i.e. perl -pi.bak -e 's/^Catalog\s+construct.*//' interchange.cfg Or use your favorite editor. 2. Remove the link program (i.e. /cgi-bin/construct). 3.

Perhaps BT184G.jpg already exists and the permissions on that file won't allow you to write over it? I'm not sure where ic stores umask info, I haven't needed to deal with that yet. Stab in the dark time: perhaps ic is running as a user other than interch. That might produce an error like this.

I've been playing around with 4.6.x of Interchange for a while now, and we're getting ready to install the latest and greatest on some production hardware and build our first real catalog. I have a few hopefully interesting questions... My best guess is that someone out there has already attacked these problems, and I'd love to know what approach you used, so we hopefully can avoid reinventing the wheel. If we can get the architecture right and make good decisions now, I'm sure it'll really pay off over time. The questions are pretty varied, so if you don't have any ideas on one, just read along... you might be able to help with the next one! We have one unified group of items in inventory, and have a number of different web stores which sell overlapping sets of items. For obvious reasons, we're very interested in only maintaining one database table of items and referencing that table from each of the different stores. Kind of an "in house mall" I guess. So, could someone give me a concrete example of a good way to share one item table between multiple stores? How about a solution which allows for the possibility of different item pricing per store? It had also occurred to me that it might be helpful to our customers to be able to have one unified shopping cart, even though they are shopping at different sites that we run. (The sites do reference each other.) A unified shopping cart would simplify our fulfillment and save shipping charges for our customers. Obviously a single secure domain would allow for a single checkout process across a group of domains. I know that many people have indicated that it's a really bad idea to use one secure certificate across a group of stores. That said, has anyone tried this as a way to unify checkout across multiple stores? What are the drawbacks of this scenario? Any suggestions as to how to most cleanly accomplish this? One bit of feedback that I received here was that many folks felt the single checkout page system in the demo catalog was confusing. We would prefer to have a multiple page customer account building system and a simplified checkout system. We like the paradigm that we've seen on the net where each page just takes in a small amount of information, and the pages are numbered i.e. step 1 of 5 or some such. Has anyone coded a multi page customer account or multi page check out process? I'd absolutely love to see some code. Finally, my last questions deal with presentation of items. We currently use Yahoo! Store and there are some limitations and some good things about that solution. One concept that it allows is the idea of a "nil" item. This is an item which is orderable but does not have any detailed information attached to it. Take a look at: http://www.condom.com/cal-xpll.html The main page is an unorderable item "Lifestyles Xtra Pleasure" with caption and large picture but no price. It references three orderable items of varying quantities each with different prices. Obviously in Interchange we could simply select an option for the quantity and set different prices... but we kind of like the current situation where the customer can see all the options up front without pulling anything down. I guess more generally, the Yahoo! Store system treats section, subsection, item and nil pages all the same way. If it has a price and is orderable, an "Add to Cart" button appears. If it does not have a price or is not orderable, the item cannot be purchased. If there are "contents" they are rendered at the bottom of the page. Has anyone done anything similar with Interchange? Are there any obvious workarounds which would get me similar behavior without too much effort? I don't necessarily like the Yahoo! method, but initially we're going to be loading Interchange with data from Yahoo! and it would really be a boost to morale -- and good for our customers -- if we could start out with something that behaved mostly like our current solution. Special thanks to anyone and everyone who has gotten to this point in the message...

I second that opinion. Gotta get those sales teams working on Amazon to get them on IC.

I am currently working on the IC docs, and among other things I have restored the section which deals with on-the-fly ordering.

OK it's been a week and I still can't find it. Staring at it too much maybe... IC 4.8.2 Perl 5.6.1 FreeBSD 4.0 Foundation -- stock install. The "orders" and "merchandising" sections of the administrative UI (and only these major sections) return "Internal Server Error" -- each time every time. A perl.core is produced in catalogs/foundation/perl.core. Also, with the "items" table displaying, clicking either yes/no in the "promo" column produced Internal server error. All other functions work great. We can add/del users, products, change page layout/content, buy stuff and checkout calculates fine. Just can't click orders or merchandising. interchange/error.log and interchange/catalogs/foundation/error.log show nothing. Apache error_log shows the 500 with "Premature end of script headers.

I am using 4.8.2 I am first trying to install the system at the virtual level (through Telnet) on Red Hat 6.2, and then I want to install it on a dedicated server. I uploaded everything to /home/httpd/html/interchange-4.8.2, and then I used Telnet and navigated to the directory. Then, as mentioned in the README, I entered ./configure to start the install. The script cranked away, but I got an error. So, I tried perl configure, and the script did the same thing, and I got the same error.

If it does then you can press the up or down arrow buttons to scroll through choices for each question. By useing the up and down buttons you can be sure that you interchange settings match with the settings in apache. The document root is the location of a html dir. that apache is set up to read from. That is why it is going to usr/local/webmin-0.89. Try hitting the down arrow on that question. If you have another virtal domain setup it should find it.

We've done several that Interchange doesn't support "out-of-the-box" -- eg. SurePay for instance. Its more a matter of understanding *how* Interchange works along with your providers API. Once you have that nailed down, then its very simple to implement. If you have questions, email me off-list and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

I don't know if you are wrong, but the way I upload new images is, use 'image listing' as your widget type and use the append html code (which is in the foundation template within the products image field meta info, and below).

Well, I originally, years ago, connected CCVS with Minivend 4.04a.... Its grown into an entire industry <grin>... Check out hotconnect.net to see... That's an entire IC/Minivend setup with CCVS. As to delays, its faster than most Internet connections and never a drop (at least with the Credit Card houses I use for connection). The average CC transaction is done in about 5-7 seconds on CCVS and that's with AVS/CCV2 turned on. Its not long for a dialtone/9digits/1200 baud handshake.... How long does a POS take? Is that acceptable as its going to be about the same..... Connecting IC to CCVS is a little fun (the older the version, the more fun). You can do it, but you better learn PERL. Oh, you better learn all the possible returns that particular vendor will send down the CCVS pipe. No two vendors are the same! You might have RETURN on one and REVERSE on the other! Be very careful on this. You can get burned by the Credit Card company. > III: The question asked once a week, at least: how do I > go about integrating a payment processor that isn't built > into IC?

Dear reader, just skip the sections you're not interested in. I would be really glad if you heard about similar problems; because of that I tried to supply many information. Thank you in advance for your time. just tried 4.8.2. First, I merged my changes with the foundation demo. According to UPGRADE, I expected no problem. But, well... - DATABASE issues: ------------------ First, I would really like to chenge the default to not drop all known database tables (of course I forgot to set the NoImport thing). I say: no, don't install sample data and got empty tables. I feel that's bad; if nothing should be inserted, nothing should be deleted. Maybe an additional option in the makecat would be possible (like: warning, existent, non-empty tables found, do you really want to screw up all your data?). - Installation (configure): ---------------------------- Well, the CPAN bundle installation failed of course, since I don't allow the web server (which is running IC) web access. I was sure that I installed the Bundles on the last installation (as root system wide as I though). Well, I was wrong. I allowed proxy and things, used -MCPAN -eshell to install the Bundle. I saw some errors happily leaving my terminal on fast scrolling. No chanche for interaction. Well, after it IC was still not working. Well, I had now a installation in /tmp/interchange. Hum. My perl installation is not the best... Of course this is not in @INC. Hum. Nice install default anyway, cp'd it into interchage/lib. Was this a good idea? At least IC started. In the meantime I restored the database with the lastest backup and IC came up with my catalog. Puh. INET Mode with non-default port ------------------------------- To be able to run both old and new version, I incremented the inet port to use by one. I would like that the tool would print a hint, that the interchange.cfg has to be changed manually (the errors are misleading after that, and not anybody is so paraniod to try netstat -an --inet | grep LIS at first :)). - set proc title hack? -------------------------- Well, I had some messages (on some SuSE, BTW) and read that it may be cause due to setting $0. Well, proctitle things are not official supported in linux, maybe perl overwrites it's argv with memset, well, not nice but working and not my business, I removed $0= in bin/interchange. Well, suddenly I had to install File::CounterFile. Hum. Oki, cp'd from /tmp, IC launches (still), but with no error messages. For a server I implemented, I used such a hack, and please not, that the kernel still knows how long the name was; ps padds it with spaces (even if you memset zero the space!). So the output of ps is ugly. I had half a screen spaces... - endless loop after all: -------------------------- On some (!) shop actions (most time it's clicking on "buy"), the IC process gets on some endless loop (browser blocks of course). Strace showed: stat("/usr/local/interchange-4.8.2/lib/auto/Storable/store.al", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=532, ...}) = 0 getgroups(32, [509, 514]) = 2 mremap(0x4028f000, 954368, 954368, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x4028f000 in an endless loop, some 100 times a second. Don't reacts on TERM, but on KILL. How I can debug it? I made an strace from a whole request, looks good, it reads the pages, queries the DB, receives results, and after 2500 lines I get: [pid 27204] stat("/home/bedinetz/catalogs/bedi2/session/x/m", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISGID|0770, st_size=96, ...}) = 0 [pid 27204] unlink("/home/bedinetz/catalogs/bedi2/session/x/m/xms4aAq4:std") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 27204] stat("/usr/local/interchange-4.8.2/lib/auto/Storable/store.al", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=532, ...}) = 0 here starts the loop. I have no idea how to debug, seems to be something weired in autoload or so? Any ideas? Won't mail the trace, since it's large :) - "new account" button in login.html fails SOMETIMES. -------------------------- It seems that the following patch helps: bedinetz@stella:/usr/local/interchange-4.8.2/bedi/pages # cvs diff -u -r 1.2 -r 1.3 login.html Index: login.html =================================================================== RCS file: /net/home/bedinetz/cvs.std/bedi-catalog/pages/login.html,v retrieving revision 1.2 retrieving revision 1.3 diff -u -r1.2 -r1.3 --- login.html 2001/10/03 16:59:29 1.2 +++ login.html 2001/11/02 16:32:10 1.3 @@ -41,10 +41,11 @@ <FORM ACTION="[process secure=1]" METHOD=POST> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=return> - <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_click VALUE=Login> + <!-- INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_click VALUE=Login --> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_failpage VALUE="login"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_successpage VALUE="customerservice"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="index"> + <input type=hidden name=mv_session_id value="[data session id]"> <table border="0" align="center"> <tr> @@ -69,7 +70,7 @@ <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td class="contentbar1"> - <input type=submit value="Log In"> + <input type="submit" NAME="mv_click" value="Login"> <input type="submit" NAME="mv_click" value="New Account"> </td> </tr> @@ -92,6 +93,7 @@ [else] <FORM ACTION="[process]" METHOD=POST> + <input type=hidden name=mv_session_id value="[data session id]"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=return> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_click VALUE=Logout_choice> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="login"> I don't know if it's correct, but I think there may be problems when there are two mv_click CGI variables? - IC debug mode not working --------------------------------------- I started /usr/local/interchange-4.8.2/bin/interchange -r -DEBUG=1 and ordered something in the shop.

Is there something missing in the installation or so? Any hints? I cannot understand the message. A find|xargs grep showed, that Vend/Error.pm do define a sub get_locale_message at least. Well, the stuff is really complex and I think it's not possible to perl -d / ddd / gdb it in any case. Hum. Any hints? Not possible to order checkout ------------------------------ I created my steffen user with address, and went to checkout page. I allowed postal order to have no problems. I just wanted to check if the mails still get send and so on. But after filling out the form, the same page comes up, as if I had made input mistakes, but there are no messages displayed. I get no error, but the same page ever and ever. In the error.log there is no message about it (but I thing this is normal, since validation isn't loggin at all AFAIK). Any ideas? Quantity Pricing: wrong prices ------------------------------- Since my shop isn't working with IC4.8.2 today, I tried the RH demo store. I set up a steffen, said it's an dealer and configured quantity pricing for the articel os*007.Nice SKU, BTW :). In basket, there is the link "QUANTITY PRICING". But the prices are incorrect. First, the quantify numbers are not the same as in the DB, and second the values are not the ones from the DB (i.e. 25 is not the value from q25 or w25 or how the fieldname was). Is that feature believed to work? Are there additional things that modify the price? The value for q5 was correct, BTW. Thank you, dear reader for taking the time for reading my posting.

I think what is happening is that DBI is caching the MySQL handles and at some point they stop working.

It is certainly in the archives. :-) How do I put this... Oh hell, flame me so others don't have to sound like BOFH. It is very easy to do. The consensus and experience seems to be, however, that if one is not able to do it readily, then it's likely that relevant security issues have not been addressed, either. I'm not paranoid about credit cards myself; IMCO a major reason for their existence is to facilitate (risky) transactions between unknown parties.

This method has three pieces, although the second and third could be combined into a single page. (1) a crontab entry for the 'interchange' user that runs periodically (pick your time interval). For example, to run once a day at 4pm: 16 * * * * /usr/bin/GET \ http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/myshop/cron/pending >> \ /tmp/pending_log (2) create a file "pending.html" and put in an accessable location (in this case, a "cron" directory underneath the "pages" dir). This file is just a wrapper for including the file that does the "real" work. If you want multiple checks or updates to happen, you can add additional [include] tags for them. For example: >>>> pending.html <<<< [include cron/check_pending] (3) create the "check_pending" script, which lives in a different "cron" directory, this one at the same level as the "pages" dir. I.e.: interchange | -----|--------- ... | | cron pages | ------------ ... | | cron special You can use pretty much any directory structure you want - this just happens to be what I have. In "check_pending" you might have something like this: [tag export inventory][/tag] [tag export pending][/tag] [mvasp tables="inventory pending"] <% no strict; $Document->hot(1); $CGI::cookie = 'CRON'; $Scratch->{mv_no_session_id} = $Scratch->{mv_no_count} = 1; HTML("\nEntering pending/inventory update"); # open 'pending' db and grab entries for users that haven't been # notified their requested item is now in stock my $dbh = $Sql{pending}; my $sth = $dbh->prepare(q{ SELECT * FROM pending WHERE notified = '0'}) or return error_message("can't open pending database"); my $rc = $sth->execute() or return HTML("\ncan't open pending database"); my $hash; while($hash = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { # $hash has all column values: # code username email initial_date notify_date skus notified # "skus" is an array of out of stock items # foreach sku, check the current inventory quantity and if > 0, # send the user email (email address could from the 'pending' db, # or be looked up in the 'userdb', given the username). # if any notification emails were sent for this user then: # (1) update the "notified" and "notify_date" fields of # the 'pending' db. # (2) if this user still has outstanding requests, then # (a) either update the "skus" field of the existing # record, deleting the items that are now in stock, or # (b) close the existing record and create a new record # with those item numbers still out of stock } %> [/mvasp] Flushing out the "check_pending" script is left as an exercise to the implementor. :-) Finally, get and install 'GET', if you don't already have it. 'GET' is part of the Perl LWP library. As a final note, I'm sure there are other variations or implementations possible. This is just an outline to get you going. Also note that this is being used with minivend 4.04. It should be completely portable to Interchange, but won't work with minivend 3.x without some changes. -Bill From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Glenn McCalley) Date: Sat Nov 3 17:41:01 2001 Subject: [ic] spurious PID file...

Before I go into detail, let me say that I just duplicated the behavior on the RedHat live demo page. You may want to give this a try on your system for the curiosity of it, I had been thinking it was a problem unique to my setup because I would have thought there would be mention of it in the archives. Now I think maybe few are using the image_large field. Anyway...these are my observations in summary and then how you can go about seeing if your system will do the same thing. If the thumb field is empty, and the image_large field is not empty and you use the UI item editor to go into the item and edit a field, maybe one of the descriptions or inactive or whichever one (they all have the same effect for me) click ok and the look at the fields in the item editor you will notice the value that had been in the image_large field has got up and walked into the thumb field. If you take a look at the file in a directory listing of your image directory, the file now has zero size and also exists with a zero size in the images/thumb directory. How I just confirmed on the live demo is.. Edit the item editor to show all three image fields next to each other and to include all three as fields to edit. Select an item to edit and delete the thumb image by typing a blank in the field and clicking ok. Confirm the thumb image is gone form the item listing. Go back into the same item and upload an image into image_large and click ok. Again confirm in the item editor item listing that this is done. ( side note here that the path that is uploaded won't actually work to display on image) Go back into the same item and modify the short description and click okay. Notice in the item editor the value you uploaded is now in the previously empty thumb field. I suppose if you don't use large images this won't bug you much, but I wrote a script to display the large image from the flypage if the customer clicks a little href that was working fine and then we noticed that some times it was now not working and on investigation I found that anytime someone edited an item it killed the large image. I am of course curious to know if others will find this same behavior on their systems and honestly even more curious to know how to fix this.

Hello everyone; I have added a field to the checkout page (CD key) that requires a checksum run against it to check for a valid CD key and if it passes the checksum, return an unlock code. I have successfully created a UserTag that does this and returns the unlock code back to the user via the receipt.html page as well as via email and finally adds it to the database once the credit card is validated and charged. My problem is how to handle a CD key entered in the CD key field that does not pass the checksum. I would like it to work the same way an invalid credit card does not pass the CC checksum, i.e. reload the checkout page with the error message "Invalid CD Key. Please try again" prominently displayed in red above the CD key field. I have poured over all the IC files and can't figure out how the checksum on the CC works. Actually, I can't figure out exactly how the whole checkout process works though I have sucessfully implemented it via PGP email and Authorizenet :-) I would appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction or give me some example code.

I can't seem to recall those days, was it perchance during the 70's pot-smoking years? I don't think the problem is with Interchange, because the interface between IC and PGP/GPG is so simple and easy to setup (especially in 4.8) that you can't possiblely be referring to that. Rather, I think it is the setup of PGP/GPG itself and the client system, as well as making sure it is running in the right user environment and EUID for IC, etc. And for that, GPG has some really good documentation (even a howto for installing without root on a virtual host!). But most people can't be bothered with learning an additional piece of software, I guess. Therefore, I think the point is to go out and learn about GPG/PGP (ask their mailing list why there is no "encryption for dummies") and get that working, then come back here and ask, "how do I hook my working encryption up with IC?". That said, I wouldn't mind if someone were to take that plethora of GPG/PGP documentation (both server and client side) and create the "encryption for dummies" type installation howto. That would probably be a long document since there are so many different scenarios (different OS, different PGP/GPG versions, virtual hosts, different client PGP versions, different client email versions, etc., etc., et. al.).

Quite in accord with the hysteria of the times, that is going too far. There are plenty of scenarios where this would be fine. Nor is "too cheap to use an online payment gateway" meaningful one way or the other. One needs to know the network architecture. What Mike and others pointed out was "if you have to ask, you're not ready". Anyone who thinks they are providing security simply because they use an online payment gateway or SSL or because they encrypt has rocks in their head. The solution is just not that simple. It may well be a violation of some credit card company policies. There are typically a LOT more to those policies, too much in fact, so that they are generally unenforced. Maybe they are used after the fact: "See you didn't do what you were supposed to." That is a shame. Of course, the NEXT Passport mishap will illustrate this. :-) cfm -- Christopher F.

Alright, now we're cookin' with gas. Who's in the mood for a good ole' Sunday Flamewar? :-) (Why is it that ic-users tends to get the worst on Sundays? Remember the last big flamewar wrt the need for documentation? That was on a Sunday). I think you meant to refer to Ethernet, not TCP/IP. Ethernet has the "travels through every network card on the network" property. That is why Intel is trying to sell their eepro100S model of network card so much -- to encourage everyone to use IPSEC encryption on the transport layer because of their hardware encryption accelerator on the card. Of course, if you can do that then you can probably handle credit card encryption. And don't even get me started on TEMPEST. :-) Which illustrates the point that security is a lot more complete than encryption. (Which is also why ASPs sell security as a service, not a product, these days). I think the the moral of the story is that unencrypted e-mail is not a secure transport method.

It is posted on their websites and they are starting to enforce it and not just use it after the fact like they have done so much in the past. I wasn't trying to imply that using encryption means you are secure. I only meant that specifically sending unencrypted cards via email was insane. In fact, at times encrypting stored data isn't even practical, which is why other layers of security are used instead. It would probably scare most people to know that the banks do not usually store cards encrypted.. But you are right it is the whole architecture that counts, too many people focus just on encryption, which is wrong headed. Chris > > -- > > Christopher F.

This also means there was NO poiont to using SSL to get the information from your clients in the first place, since you send it out plain text later. If you clients knew this they would NEVER buy anything from you... Maybe ou should let them decide with a disclaimer on your order page like "We know we are using SSL to make you feel secure and to give us your credit card number, but after that, we store it in about 8 places in plain old text... We then send it though plain old e-mail where anyone can packet sniff it, and it gets sent to every machine on our ISP's network while it is in route to ours..." What do you think they would say? I bet you cc company would yank your ability to take cc's if they knew you were doing this.

We are talking about 3 Linux machines on the LAN in one room behind alarms and high security locks and 2 Win98 machines in the adjacent room, also behind high security locks and alarms. That is ALL of the machines on the Class C License. A visitor to the store comes in on server 4, views the Interchange stuff, places an order through the Secure Server on Server 4 (128-bit security). A canned response is sent to the customer from the mail server on Server 4. Every 10 minutes, Outlook Express on the POS machine in the next room running under Windows 98 polls Server 4 for the mail and removes it from the server. Only orders are handled on this mail server. E-mail relating to the store operations are handled on a different server. The last that I knew, it wasn't possible to hack into a Windows 98 machine (although I understand that there is a patch available to make them into a server. That boggles my mind. Why use a Windoze machine as a server when Linux works so much better!) Possibly there is a leak somewhere, but I can't see it. The only people with keys to the server room is Scotty and myself. Not the janitor, not the landlord. The keys to the room where we have the POS terminal is on the ASSA Master Key System. The janitor, and the landlord. Those keys can not be duplicated without my permission. At this time, I am comfortable that I have adequate security for charge card numbers in place.

The date widget builds three select wigets (Month, Day and Year) to collect input, which are then juggled into the proper order for a record write. You need to do the same thing, pre-search. I'm not aware of any existing whiz-bang tool for this; I would probably collect all the search values in a regular form, then organize them and submit the search as a separate step, but that is just my preference. - Ed L. =============================================================== New Media E.M.S.

There are a couple of things you need to do. First you need to set a couple of directives in interchange.cfg. Then, you will need to uncomment some lines in various perl modules in (ic directory)/lib/Vend. In interchange.cfg, un-comment (or add it if it's not in your cfg file): Variable DEBUG 1 This will activate a section of interchange.cfg that's further down in the file that controls the specifics of what debug output is generated. That section begins with "ifdef @DEBUG". The DebugFile directive is set to name of the output file that will be created with the debug info. If you are using DBI and want to log the DBI calls, then un-comment the directive DataTrace 1. This will produce a LOT of output, so you only want to activate it if you think you're problem is remotely related to DBI. Once you have made these changes in interchange.cfg, you need to modify some perl modules. The cfg file only makes it possible for debug features to work, it doesn't really turn most of them on. For that, go to (ic directory)/lib/Vend. Make sure you have a backup copy of everything you're about to modify, just in case you make a mistake. Then, un-comment all of the lines that call ::logDebug. If you are using vi, this will do the trick: :%s/#::logDebug/::logDebug/ Well, it will almost do the trick. In some modules, there are other lines that have been commented out that must be un-commented for certain ::logDebug calls to function. You'll find out which lines these are after you restart interchange. It will provide a few error messages that can help you hunt down the other lines... Todd L.

Not every application requires encryption. I hear you, it can't hurt to use it, but some applications simply don't require its use. I as a consultant and a developer have little time to devote to being forced to use something I don't need for a given application.(That's MS's game). And not all of us are extremely talented Linux admin.'s. I've been using Linux a few years now in a production environment and like it, but I still have a lot to learn. That doesn't make me stupid or anyone else here for that manner. That's why I use this list. That's why I use Both MS and Linux as well as many Open Source Applications and program solely in PHP, MySQL and IC. I wrote this list several time about quite a few issues with no answers from anyone. I finally had to email someone off-list who I judged to be knowledgeable by reading his input to others and he pointed me in the right direction. Some people on this list knew how to work around this issue and simply didn't post a solution( including those at RH most familiar with IC.) This feature was not forced in any previous releases prior to 4.7 - 4.8. Something that could've been resolved in ten minutes took days because no one stepped forward to present the solution or a direction to a solution. That cost me time and money. IC represents less than 10% of my income as a consultant and when I have to dig this hard to get a simple answer its nothing but discouraging. By the way, thank you Randy, for stepping up when others at RH wouldn't. If I can ever return the favor, just ask. Why flame developers for choosing not to use encryption where its not needed. Warning them is wise and good. Calling them stupid is wrong. You use IC your way and we'll use it ours. That's called open source. Thanks for your advice and experience. I know you contribute a lot here. Let's not resort to using this list in a way that belittles or discourages people. That takes away from RH and IC.

All you really have to do, is take out the words that display, and no one will ever know. Thats what I have done and I dont have any values for inventory in the tables." An alternate approach that I took to solve the same problem..... I changed this so that it actually references the field in the inventory table if the item is not in stock so that you can reflect average lead times. I replaced "Out of Stock" with [item-data inventory stock_message] This way I can have products that ship in 24 hours, 1-2 days, 2-3 weeks, special order etc. It works well for our specific application. We hold only some inventory, not that much. This does require that you use the admin inventory feature and set the value there, although you could probably set a default value if you would like. If you do not select anything, it will not show either in stock, or out of stock. Either way works, I just wanted to reflect lead times. -- Fred Pope Satcom Resources 970-748-3094 fred@satcomresources.com http://www.satcomresources.com I didnt want inventory either, and I just went into the pages and took out the code for "if in stock..." and "if out of stock....."

I would understand if they were ranting that after paying a hefty license fee you weren't getting any support, but last time I checked, interchange-users wasn't for paid support. Here is how I often explain it: Commercial software = pay for the license, get free support (sometimes not even that) Open Source software = pay nothing for the license, pay for the support (but sometimes you get free support on the list) But the funny part is that no matter how disappointed they get, it wont make anyone any more likely to offer more free consulting/help on the list.

I loathe frustrating problems which consume time as much as the next person - but this is entirely the wrong attitude. If you want to be entitled to answers, get on a VAR program with some other system that offers one, and pay your fees and dues.

Thanks for the reply Chris, That is my problem. I don't know how to set up etc/profiles.order to check for a valid CD key. Do I put it in a perl block like this: [perl] my $cd_key = $Values->{cd_key}; my $unlock = $Tag->unlock_me($cd_key); if ($unlock eq "") { return "mv_cdkey_valid=required CD key fails tests."; } [/perl] I'm just not sure how this file works.

I too ran into this back in the days when I ran a virtual hosting ISP for MiniVend. I had quite a few more than 32 groups to worry about; I ran into the 256-character group concatenation limit first, anyway. The solution I used was to run multiple daemons as multiple user IDs, but keeping their UID the same. So: In /etc/passwd: interch:x:400:400:Interchange Daemon:/usr/lib/interchange:/bin/tcsh ic1:x:400:400:Interchange Daemon:/usr/lib/interchange:/bin/tcsh ic2:x:400:400:Interchange Daemon:/usr/lib/interchange:/bin/tcsh ic3:x:400:400:Interchange Daemon:/usr/lib/interchange:/bin/tcsh ic4:x:400:400:Interchange Daemon:/usr/lib/interchange:/bin/tcsh In /etc/group: user1:x:501:ic1 user2:x:502:ic1 user3:x:503:ic1 user4:x:504:ic1 user5:x:505:ic1 user6:x:506:ic2 user7:x:507:ic2 user8:x:508:ic2 user9:x:509:ic3 user10:x:510:ic3 etc. Then you run one daemon as ic1, one as ic2, etc. While this created some managment problems at times, another advantage was that you could segregate users according to what software and database they used, cutting down core size and extraneous things you don't need. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> My wife is great.

Thanks...jay What you have looks reasonable to me. Assuming the $Tag->unlock__me works in embedded Perl, it should work fine.

When you order AV>>something on the Internet with a CC you never know what that person might do AV>>with your card :-) Anton, I've got a 'Visa Card' on a bank that I rarely used on line or over the phone. I used it exactly 3 times. (I usually use either American Express or a card on another bank for transactions when the card is not present.) On October 10th last year there was suddenly $475 missing out of my checking account. Someone had used my card number to set up an account at PayPal and had taken my $475 for their own use. I had noticed it withon a day of them doing it and got the card number cancelled. For reasons that I don't understand, because this was a 'Check Card' and not a true credit card, the bank was unable to take any action for 60 days. At that time they gave me a provisional gredit and 45 days later they made it permanent. I lost the use of $475 for 60 days. I've become a LOT more sensitive to credit card security over the internet. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express are putting a whole different slant on CC# theft over the internet than CC# theft from a restaurant, etc. When you are dealing with security issues you have to assume that everyone around you is a crook and work from there. The bottom line here is that if you compromise a CC#, the issuer is going to crucify you and they will remove your ability to accept their card. It's difficult to do business without a merchant account. I went through that for 3 years after I did a buddy a favor and processed a charge for a carpet cleaning that he did for a customer. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Monday, November 05, 2001 at 18:20 PM: Know God...know peace.

This was a feature or a method that was supported in 4.6.x and changed to use PGP/GPG only, without backwards compatability. So I merely asked for a fix to what was supposed to be done already. Not Customization. As a consultant, a professional with 12 years of web/db applications development experience and a RH customer, I know the difference between the two. The code base was not backwards compatible and anyone with older catalogs not using realtime authorization was unable to retrieve CC information without calling the customer back(not good) or installing and use PGP/GPG. I don't feel we (not I) should have to pay for code modifications that RH said would be part of the feature set. This is open source, don't we all contribute to make the product better?

I loathe frustrating problems which consume time as much as the next person - but this is entirely the wrong attitude. If you want to be entitled to answers, get on a VAR program with some other system that offers one, and pay your fees and dues. The Red Hat Interchange unit also has consulting and support options to offer you, without requiring you to pay for the software - the best of both worlds, in my opinion. - Ed L. =============================================================== New Media E.M.S.

I would understand if they were ranting that after paying a hefty license fee you weren't getting any support, but last time I checked, interchange-users wasn't for paid support. Here is how I often explain it: Commercial software = pay for the license, get free support (sometimes not even that) Open Source software = pay nothing for the license, pay for the support (but sometimes you get free support on the list) But the funny part is that no matter how disappointed they get, it wont make anyone any more likely to offer more free consulting/help on the list.

My 2 cents on this is I don't really care if it's all local. No matter how secure you make your network, you can not be 100% guaranteed that someone can't break into it. Any system that is connected to the internet has the potential of being compromised by exploits which have yet to be invented. How often have we seen news reports of merchants who thought their systems were secure right up to the point where "Exploit-X" came along and allowed a hacker - and any script-kiddie who could reproduce their work after they posted it in a million places - to go in and meander their filesystems at will? That said, how can anyone be willing to store credit card numbers unencrypted? Anywhere? You can count on the fact that no system I ever write or maintain in IC will do so. And if you set up a system on the internet that takes credit cards but leaves them unencrypted on a computer somewhere, please let me know so that I can avoid shopping there.

That happened to me with a card I **never** used except at the local ATM at the home bank. Some $4k in airline tickets. They didn't want to give me the money back either. When I pointed out that they had already transferred the issue to their fraud department before I called they relented.

That's called open source. Thanks Ya know, that scares the snot out of me!!!!! I think it's horrible that I've got customers that won't upgrade their browsers to deal with my 128-bit security. They don't give a shit. But, here you have customers that are using 128-bit security to give you their data and then you are spreading their data to the 4 winds and violating the trust that they have placed in you. A false sense of security for them. A parallel: You go into K-Mart and buy something. The clerk captures your card number when he swipes it. He immediately sells that number to a network of 1000 people that all use that number nearly simultaneously. The trust that you thought that you deserved has been grossly violated! And, the multiplier: You put that work-around out here on the mailing list! Now, there are 100's of networks of 1000 people with your number making charges on your account. I'm an old man, maybe senile, maybe with Alzheimers, maybe.... But, something that I learned a LONG time ago is that if something is really difficult to get ahold of then I wasn't meant to have it. And, it seems that anytime that I push the envelope and get it anyways that i get my knuckles rapped - it doesn't work, for one reason or another. IMHO you forced your way into an area that you weren't meant to be in, weren't ready to be in. Once in there you hadn't learned enough yet to properly handle what you had learned and you blew it.

The salesman went to the cashier with the check to get it verified. (Totally acceptable!) The salesman came back and said, "Thank you Mr. balcom.

I protested about this to First Union, and I was told that their customers like this feature and they refused to change it. Car-Max had my checking account number and my drivers license number. That was all that they needed to explore my whole account! Today I authorized a check over the phone to pay a bill, simply by giving them the numbers on a check. Or, you hand me a check, in person, in payment for a product of mine and I can use that information to pay my own bills! First Unions response was that any time that I give out my checking account number that I am putting myself at risk.

This works fine except for one minor bug. It looks like the shipping criteria is stored in the cart. So if a buyer selects 3 of an item which exceeds the dollar amount for free shipping, they get the free shipping. If they reduce the quantity to get them back into a dollar range which should get shipping charged, shipping is either charged as weight, but on the SUBTOTAL figure, or they get a shipping message similar to: Note: 182 lbs too heavy for UPS. 182 is the dollar subtotal, NOT the shipping weight.

Neither Red Hat or I have NEVER said that unencrypted credit card numbers would be a part of the feature set. I challenge you to find where we did. In fact, in the face of constant pressure, both Red Hat and I have consistently said the opposite. I have turned down consulting contracts that required that I store the unencrypted CC number in a database on a net-connected machine. It is true that by default I set the EncryptProgram to "cat" for years. I am sorry for that. But my stated position has always been that encryption is necessary. All I did was enforce that position in the code as it became clearer and clearer that we would be negligent if we didn't. I have no problem with you doing whatever you want. However, I do have a problem with you handing an Uzi to a 4-year-old (slightly exaggerated analogy, but fits with someone elses previous one). I asked you not to post the not-recommended workaround to the list. You did it anyway. Therein lies my problem with it. I have removed the post from the archive. I ask it not to be posted so that it will not be archived to let the clueless fling unencrypted credit card numbers about. Also, I have a problem with *all* the messages you posted. Each one got bigger and bigger, as you left the quoted text on the bottom in an almost undecodable state, sigs and headers and all, not bothering to trim or show context. Actually, that is why I didn't get involved in the thread until it became longer. I ignore 95% of messages that have lazy quoting.

I have in the past integrated Interchange with expensive accounting / ERP solutions (like MAS90) for running "back office" tasks (inventory, POS, accounting, etc., etc.), and have always pined for a great open source CRM & ERP. Here it is. I believe that most of you will find this is exactly the software that you need to complement interchange (your front end e-commerce app) with a backend (ERP, advanced CRM). (I wont be surprised if RH buys ComPiere too ;-) In fact, I think Compiere is even *better* than the big boys (SAP, Baan, Oracle-*, etc.) in some ways (besides being open source). The current version takes about 4 hours to install (including Oracle, etc.), but the next release due out in a few weeks will have many improvements (including PHB Oracle installation). I sincerely think that the opensourcing of Compiere is as monumental as was the posting of Linux 0.01 by Linus. Further, I expect to see at least 20 new Compiere developers come from this list. :-) If you get as excited about it as I did, don't hesitate to run around, scream, shout, and then send a thank you to the author. I can't seem to say enough good things about the quality of the project. I tried to write some info about it (features, technologies, etc.) below to whet your appetites.

All server services are implemented as Dynamic Managed Beans (MBean). The Compiere Server is based on the JMX reference implementation. . Compiere Server (JMX compliant MBean Server) . Compiere Server Services (JMX compliant Dynamoc MBeans) o Accounting Server o Request Server o Utility Server This architecture allows to . Manage the MBeans (start/stop/..) and inquire their status locally and remotely . Ability to integrate with an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager or CIM/WBEM manager . Add additional services required (e.g. Servlet Server, EJB engine, ...) . Ability to integrate the Compiere Server services into any JMX compliant server (e.g. Application Servers) Stand alone mode In the stand alone mode, the Compiere JMX Server also manages: . Java Servlet & JSP Server (Tomcat and Jasper wrapped in a Dynamic MBean) . JBoss EJB engine and JNDI components required for the Compiere application Integrated mode The stand alone mode is intended for small footprint, small implementations. If you need to integrate significant functionality, you could integrate the Compiere Services as MBeans in JMX compliant agents (MBean Servers) like JBoss or in other Application Servers. Application technology: Technology Stack Compiere is a 100% pure Java solution based on Oracle database technology. The client application component is written entirely in Java designed to utilize the capacity of today's PCs. The Java Application or Java Applet client is the preferred choice for high data volume as it provides a high performance Windows based user interface. It communicates, via thin JDBC, with the database layer and via IIOP with the application layer. The client accesses the server via the Internet or Intranet. As an alternative, a HTML client could be used to extend, where the installation or download of the application is not appropriate (i.e. self-service functionality for vendors, customers, employees). This part is implemented through Java Servlets and Java Server Pages, to be hosted in Servlet Servers (like JRun) or the Oracle Database Server (8.1.7) directly. The application server component is implemented in Java and SQLJ (Embedded SQL in Java) as Java Enterprise Beans hosted in the Oracle Database Server. Some application functionality is implemented as PL/SQL. The majority of the functionality is implemented as Java Stored Procedures. Compiere utilizes the option to natively compile and deploy Java in the Database, which increases the performance as it eliminates the Java interpreter on the server side. We are members of the Oracle, Sun and Microsoft technology programs and are using Rational Rose for analysis and design, Borland JBuilder Java for Java development and debugging, OptimizeIt for Java performance and memory debugging, ParaSoft JTest for automatic testing, ZeroG InstallAnywhere to create automatic installs, JRun as Servlet Server and the Embarcadero suite of products for database maintenance and PL/SQL programming and debugging. Compiere uses the ILOG Java rules engine currently for creating accounting transactions and pricing decisions. Complex logic is easier maintained with rules than with procedural logic. This also allows sophisticated users to extend the functionality. The rules are compiled for maximum runtime performance. Deployment Options Compiere has the following main components: . Client o Java Application o Java Applet o HTML based . Servlet Server for HTML based Application . Application Server . Database Server All application components can be deployed on all Java enabled platforms: Windows (NT, 2000), UNIX, Linux. Mac, etc. A variety of configurations are supported. Where communication bandwidth allows, the Application Client can be deployed as Windows Application or Java Applet. The Java Applet and the Java Application are functionally identical. A communication bandwidth of 128 kbps is sufficient for the Windows Application. For the HTML client, a Java Servlet and JSP (Java Server Pages) Server is required. Options include JRun. In addition to the standard HTTP Internet communication, the SSL secure protocol could be used. The Java Application Server is based on Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) or Remote Method Invocation (RMI) technology and could be deployed as a stand-alone tier in the Oracle Application Server or other EJB servers. The secure standard IIOP protocol is used. The Database Server hosts data and application logic and is accessed by the standard JDBC (Java Database Communication) protocol. Functionality at the database level is implemented in PL/SQL and Java Stored Procedures. In Oracle 8i the database includes a CORBA and an EJB server. Since the majority of functionality is data intensive, eliminating an additional level reduces overhead and improves performance. With Oracle 8.1.7, the database includes also a Servlet & JSP server The portability and hardware independence allows for easy deployment and rollout reducing the hardware and administrative overhead. Depending on the environment, a simple two-tier deployment might be sufficient with the option to migrate anytime to a multi-tier deployment environment.

My attitude is that if they got their dollar value up that high and played around that I'll give them the free shipping to get the order and the satisfaction. I see a lot of toss ups here. I use such things as gimmicks to increase sales and I'll give away things to make the customer think that they have 'won' as long as the expense is tolerable to me. Basically, my personal impression is that if the customer thinks that they are getting a 'deal' they are happy. If that 'deal' is one that I can live with then we are both 'happy' - no matter how screwed up it is. I specialize in 'Customer Satisfaction' I can have the best product in the world and the worse customer service and I will fail. Conversely, I can have the worse product and the best customer service and I will succeed. But, then, I am a plow-jockey from upstate New York without a college education or business degree.

This is probably due to simultaneous user traffic for those tables. GDBM doesn't act nice when someone won't give it write permission. SQL is strongly recommended for busy catalogs.

(Please note: If you can't access the wildnut site it's because I recently updated the name servers and they may not have been updated throughout the world yet :) ) Ok - the first link Customer Entrance works fine. I can add multiple catalogs under the domain and they all function correctly. The second domain, wildnut.com - the Customer Entrance doesn't work at all and responds back with Interchange Server is unavailable - even though I've restarted the system several times, etc. I even tried copying the first foundation cgi-bin file to the wildnut cgi-bin section - thinking that perhaps something was wrong with it - but that didn't work. I originally did NOT have FullURL in the interchange.cfg file, but then, since the above didn't work, I added it underneath the last catalog - within that section. FullURL Yes is the command that I added. I then re-ran ./bin/makecat and reconfigured the catalogs, placing everything within their particular file section but there was one section I wasn't sure of. The UNIX, INET and NONE section. Well, actually, I tried UNIX and NONE and neither worked. However, the NONE statement confused me since it said that I need to copy some program, etc. etc. to some location - and I don't really know what that means or if that's even the solution to my problem. I've gone over the makecat program several times and so I'm either sticking in the wrong information when asked, or I just don't have something else configured correctly. But, I do know that I've placed the http docs and cgi stuff into the appropriate directories during the makecat process (at least I hope that I'm not THAT short of a brick load). What I'd like to do is to use IP-based hosting for each domain name so that each can have their own separate SSL. I could, of course, throw each domain name into the ecommerce.hypertech.net section, but I'd like to keep the entire shopping process within each domain. My interchange.cfg Catalog section looks like this: Catalog foundation /var/lib/interchange/foundation ecommerce.hypertech.net/cgi-bin/foundation /foundation Catalog foundation2 /var/lib/interchange/foundation2 www.wildnut.com/cgi-bin/foundation2 /foundation2 FullUrl Yes I remember at one point Interchange asking for the location to my httpd.conf file and I believe that I specified that, but don't really know if that could be causing the problem or not. So basically, everything seems to work - IF I opted to go with a multiple catalog shopping cart system under ecommerce.hypertech.net - but to make it difficult on myself - I'd rather have a shopping cart system under each domain name with their own IP address and SSL certificate. Can someone give me any pointers to accomplish this - so that I can get that Interchange server unavailable out of my second domain?? Restarting doesn't do it . . . I'm obviously missing the boat on this - so if you'd be so kind as to throw me a life jacket? Oh yes, and although I don't think this matters - I'm using Plesk 2.0 as my solution for hosting. It does all of the configuration settings for hosting and uses Apache, MySQL, mod_perl, etc. More info about that at: http://www.plesk.com/ if you think that there's a possibility that it's causing my problem. I just have a BIG tendency to think it isn't, but of course, my four weeks is pale in comparison to several of those with YEARS of experience. But, I'll get there. Oh yeah - and by the way - I've tried MANY e-commerce products and I'm truly impressed by Interchange. I'm slowly learning the system but it seems to be VERY stable and the features, well, let's just say that I'd be paying a pretty penny if I bought something like this for NT . . .

For example, if they are buying a car with a base price of $11,000, and adding the CD player costs $100, upon selecting to add the CD player on the flypage from the options dropdown, this will adjust the "configured" price to $11,100 without having to click the buy now feature to see the configured price in the cart. As the user selects the various options, this automatically recalculates the configured price. This allows the user to quickly price out different configurations. We are using an additional input on the form with the default value of [item-price], and the Javascript updates this input on the form with a function that we wrote called update_total. **Desired Goals We need to add an attribute (..OnChange=update_total(this)..) to the select statement(s) that is(are) generated on the flypage for each option. We also need to add this input to that table at the end after it is finished looping through the options. **Specific Question We need to locate the code that generates the form with the select statements for the options on the flypage so we can modify it slightly. **Reference Materials / Real Life Example We need to change the HTML output of the following code: [table-organize cols=2 table=' ' font="size=1" pretty=1] [item-options td=1 label=1 bold=1 price=1] [/table-organize] Sample Existing Outputted Code (What we want to change): <table> <tr> <td><FONT size=1><B>Waveguide</b></FONT></td> <td><FONT size=1><input type=hidden name="mv_item_option" value="WG"> <SELECT NAME="mv_order_WG"> <OPTION VALUE="">None <OPTION VALUE="3">3 ft Flex Waveguide WR75 ($375.00) <OPTION VALUE="6">6 ft Flex Waveguide WR75 ($708.00) </SELECT></FONT></td> </tr> <tr> <td><FONT size=1><B>Tx Reject Filter</b></FONT></td> <td><FONT size=1><input type=hidden name="mv_item_option" value="TXRF"> <SELECT NAME="mv_order_TXRF"> <OPTION VALUE="">None <OPTION VALUE="Y">Tx Reject Filter 50db Rejection ($281.00) </SELECT></FONT></td> </tr> <tr> </table> Desired Outputted Code (What we want to change too): <table> <tr> <td><FONT size=1><B>Waveguide</b></FONT></td> <td><FONT size=1><input type=hidden name="mv_item_option" value="WG"> <SELECT NAME="mv_order_WG" OnChange=update_total(this)> <OPTION VALUE="">None <OPTION VALUE="3">3 ft Flex Waveguide WR75 ($375.00) <OPTION VALUE="6">6 ft Flex Waveguide WR75 ($708.00) </SELECT></FONT></td> </tr> <tr> <td><FONT size=1><B>Tx Reject Filter</b></FONT></td> <td><FONT size=1><input type=hidden name="mv_item_option" value="TXRF"> <SELECT NAME="mv_order_TXRF" OnChange=update_total(this)> <OPTION VALUE="">None <OPTION VALUE="Y">Tx Reject Filter 50db Rejection ($281.00) </SELECT></FONT></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><B>Configured Price:</b><input type="text" value=[item-price] name="price"></td> </tr> </table> Best regards, -- Fred Pope Satcom Resources 970-748-3094 fred@satcomresources.com http://www.satcomresources.com From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (CHRIS KNIGHT) Date: Tue Nov 6 12:17:00 2001 Subject: [ic] shippingformula ??

Thank you so much Mike and Chris :-) This works beautifully. Why didn't I just test it out myself? Maybe I did not have the confidence to trust my "winging it" ;-) Though I am pleased my "winging" was right on the money. Some day I hope I can return the favor.

At least on my system, If I copy it, I must then chmod 4755 so that it will run under the correct user when called (interch in my case) If you do have a working cgi-bin file and copy it and chmod 4755, it should report back as an unknown catalog or should work depending on the name of the file, interchange.cfg ..... I don't believe you need fullurl in this case, I've set up with several domain names with diff ip addresses on same box with out fullurl. Have you checked the various log files ? (interchange, catalog, apache) When it asked for path to httpd.conf, it was only trying to guess various paths for the set up, which you would then confirm or change during install.

I don't think [item-options ...] supports it. You can add it by editing the list of parameters to send to tag_accessories, i.e. change: push @out, tag_accessories( $sku, '', { passed => $ref->[3], type => $opt->{type} || $ref->[5] || 'select', attribute => 'mv_sku', price_data => $ref->[6], price => $opt->{price}, item => $phony, }, $phony || undef, ); to: push @out, tag_accessories( $sku, '', { passed => $ref->[3], type => $opt->{type} || $ref->[5] || 'select', attribute => 'mv_sku', price_data => $ref->[6], price => $opt->{price}, extra => $opt->{extra}, item => $phony, }, $phony || undef, ); in a couple of places.

You are talking about modifying existing tables. > Perhaps you could write-up a micro-HOWTO on modifying mysql tables? Using IC 4.6.5, when I want to add a new column to the products database, I do this: Load mysql, add a new column. ALTER TABLE products ADD COLUMN prod_summary varchar(255); The column is now in the database. Edit catalogdir/catalog/dbconf/mysql/products.mysql It should look something like # MiniVend database definition Database products products.txt __SQLDSN__ #ifdef SQLUSER Database products USER __SQLUSER__ #endif #ifdef SQLPASS Database products PASS __SQLPASS__ #endif Database products KEY sku ... We need to add our new column to this list Add Database products COLUMN_DEF "prod_summary=(VARCHAR255)" to the end of the file, save changes and close. Here, I Apply Changes within the Admin UI. This may not be necessary, but doesn't seem to hurt. I jump over to the Admin UI, and goto the Administration section. Choose Knar and edit the variable table (default). Search for the UI_ITEM_FIELDS variable. It will resemble sku description comment category type image display price nontaxable related featured required inactive weight shipping These fields are the ones that are shown when you edit/create a product. If you only wanted to view/edit the sku, description, comment and category you would just add those fields. The order the column names appear in the UI_ITEM_FIELDS variable determines the order they will appear in when an Item is edited. Add prod_summary (our new column name) where ever you want it to show. Lets put it after comment. sku description comment prod_summary category type image display price nontaxable related featured required inactive weight shipping Click OK. Now to synchronize the products.txt with the database, you need to export. Goto Tables in the Admin UI, and export the products table using the default settings. I Apply Changes once more here. Now go and edit an item. The new field prod_summary will appear. Click 'meta' and you can edit your display settings. I've found (with 4.6.5) that after I edit the meta for the field, it returns me to the previous page - without any other fields. I click OK until I return to the main Items page, and THEN the meta information is saved. This is a little rough, and some of the information may be extraneous, but I have finance homework due in 30 minutes ;) .cfg ######################################### ######################################### I missed the beginning of this discussion, so I'm not sure exactly where your problem lies. But, I can give you an overview of this particular question. There are two equally important portions of a table definition in Interchange if you are using a SQL database. There is the dbconf file, which defines the database-dependent definitions of the table, and there is the data file, which defines the field names (mandatory) and the start-up data (optional). So, at a minimum, you need a dbconf file which defines the DSN, and a data file that has all the fields present. If this is all you have, then your data file must be tab delimited, and the first field in your data file is assumed to be the primary key. Beyond this, you can define any number of various parameters about your table in the dbconf file. You can specify which field is the KEY, you can declare a DEFAULT_TYPE, which will be applied to every field found in your data file unless you supply an independent COLUMN_DEF. There are many other definitions you can apply in the dbconf file, too. Check out http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev/icdatabase So, when Interchange starts up and sees a table that has a data file and dbconf file, it checks for a file named table_name.sql in your products/ dir. If it does not find one, it will DROP the table in the database, CREATE a new one according to the parameters set in the dbconf file and the field names from the data file, and INSERT any rows of data that are in the data file. If it does find the .sql file, it will pass over the DROP, CREATE, and INSERT portion. You can define a table to use only the data it already has, essentially behaving by default as though the .sql file is always present, by the catalog directive 'NoImport table_name'. This will ensure that pre-existing data are NEVER removed from the DROP, CREATE sequence. See http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev/icconfig_120.html Even in the case of using a NoImport table, you should still have data file with all your fields defined. Interchange maintains its own metadata about the tables, and field names are derived by default from the data file. It may be the case that IC will use the SQL table to determine field names under certain circumstances, but I would not rely on that. -- Mark Johnson Senior Systems Architect - Professional Services Red Hat, Inc.

At least on my system, If I copy it, I must then chmod 4755 so that it will run under the correct user when called (interch in my case) If you do have a working cgi-bin file and copy it and chmod 4755, it should report back as an unknown catalog or should work depending on the name of the file, interchange.cfg ..... I don't believe you need fullurl in this case, I've set up with several domain names with diff ip addresses on same box with out fullurl. Have you checked the various log files ? (interchange, catalog, apache) When it asked for path to httpd.conf, it was only trying to guess various paths for the set up, which you would then confirm or change during install.

Hi Jon, Thanks for the input. I have actually tried that too. Looking at the code in the Interpolate.pm, I think that you can use both js="onupdate=somejavafunction()" or extra="onupdate=somejavafunction()" but neither of them seem to be adding any variables into the <select> tags generated from the IC [item-options] tag on the flypage, and I am not sure why. There must be something that I am missing. If you look at Interpolate.pm, there is first the section that builds the accessory select box, and then there is the section that uses that if the simple options (or matrix / modular for that matter) to generate the various select boxes. Mike made the changes to this code yesterday to include the js and extra into all of the relevant sections. There is something else. Thanks again....

That's because the author of the ZDNet article hasn't done his homework. Also, Charlie Cho, from Webtechiques didn't get it right, when he finished his nice article, a review of Red Hat's E-Commerce Suite, saying: "The suite is ideal for anyone who needs to start quickly, likes his or her servers to stay running, doesn't have a ton of cash to burn, and wants to launch a business a little less grandiose than Amazon.com. In this economy, that could be a very large market indeed." Informed sources tell me, Cho missed that Amazon was out-bidding Microsoft for half a million to convince Mike to close the code for an "enhanced" amazonish-strong IC e-commerce package. As to be expected, rumors have it, Mike advised Gates and Bezos to go to Meg Whitman to convince her to switch to IC and then bid in public on the beautified IC-Ebay platform to try to get him a more appropriate offer for such a "thingy". :-) The Webtechnique article is not yet online, I think. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (John Beima) Date: Wed Nov 7 16:45:01 2001 Subject: [IC] Internal server error...

I > can't find any documentation on it. Thanks. I'd not count on mv_force_cache for that purpose. Look in the docs for page caching. It probably lets you build a cached version of a page that would otherwise not be permitted because of the various tags. You'd probably be better off modifying the tag [page] instead. Look at Util::VendUrl (I'm use an older version myself but it's probably the same.) You will find it elsewhere too. Plus you will be able to back it out easier. :-) Our experience is to do everything we can to maintain session, even redundant.

That will make the effect temporary to that page. Perhaps it is a bad name, but the intent is to always add the mv_session_id to a *form* URL, which should not be cached by someone (like AOL's proxy server). -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. -- Francis Bacon From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Birgitt Funk) Date: Wed Nov 7 22:39:01 2001 Subject: [ic] ZDNet:"RedHat suite makes e-commerce easy" rereading my previous comment, I realize that people might not find it that funny and my attempt of making a joke was a shot in the wrong direction and could be misunderstood.

Since $border takes the value of 2 $input takes the valus of 2 To overcome this i just printed the @_ variable and noticed that the text enclosed between the tags came as the third parameter. Hence i changed the my ($border,$input) = @_; to my ($border,$in,$input) = @_; Now this worked and produced the desired tabular ouput containing name Prassy country Us Note: When experimenting with the other one i removed the usertag from the catalog.cfg and restarted interchange.

It's docs are difficult, even for experienced programmers. It has a LOT of great features which can make it worth the work. It took me nearly 6 months of work (in between running a business) to get my store on line. I suggest that you send an e-mail to support@akopia.com. For a fee, they will install it for you. That way you will know that it is installed right. However, unless there are some particular features that IC has, I suggest you start out with something easier.

I have seen a routine (I think on the netsolutions website..?) which pops up a messagebox alerting you that your session is about to expire. This would be an alternative. For ic, I think this is only really relevant if you are logged in since your session values are kept for longer.

I posted the above message a while ago, I am still experiencing this problem. I have moved the database to pgsql 7.0.3 and can manually do the query through the command line. I can in IC use the URL to do something like this. http://www.diabeticexpress.com/cgi-bin/dexpress.cgi/scan/sf=code/se=04-09 or even http://www.diabeticexpress.com/cgi-bin/dexpress.cgi/04-09.html But you can't search through the search box for it. It will always give an error. I have two other products that exhibit the exact same behavior. Again, nothing shows up in either error logs, and every time I try to turn DEBUG on, it IC fails on me.

Thanks for your response, Mike. Yes, the encryption is working fine (and the test yielded 'test'). However, it is encrypting the card and then the whole order even though I have credit card set to 0 and encrypt set to 1. I want it to encrypt the order only. I'm using a 4.6.5 catalog.cfg with the order routine from 4.8.2 catalog.cfg. I have attached it if anyone cares to have a look. I have looked for duplicate entries, but perhaps I am missing a key variable? This is not a major problem, more likely 'wishing it worked like before the upgrade'. =) Curt Hauge ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01C16858.81F655E0 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="catalog.cfg" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="catalog.cfg" # Set the sitewide information.

Just set the type of the option widget to "text" and the width to whatever you want. The latest round of UI changes apparently made simple options too simple, for to do that you have to go to Administration->Tables->options Then find the option in question, edit it, change the widget type, and away you go.

Is this in a virtural hosting environment? I'd bet, and I'm guessing here, that your dns name doesn't match the hostname. When you install IC it hard codes whatever your hostname is into itself. So, the easy thing to do in this case is uninstall the rpms, then use "hostname" to temporarily change the hostname to match the dns name and reinstall the rpms.

So what happens is fedex wont recognize it and my shipping options >>drop down is totally empty. here is my shipping.asc file I'm of several different minds about this... If they can order 100 things and the weight comes up to 1 pound and shipping is calculated correctly, I would just put in a minimum shipping amount to be charged. (That test would indicate that the shipping mechanism is working OK.) There is a minimum amount that FedEx is going to charge you, so set a minimum amount for your customer. This would insure that they got charged correctly if they bought 10,000. You can also set your weights at .1 instead of .01. 10 of those makes a pound and FedEx's minimum. That's fine if most people aren't going to order very many of these items (stamps, perhaps?) With that lightweight of an item, you might want to consider a flat rate shipping fee - especially if most sales are for 100 or 200 or less. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Thursday, November 08, 2001 at 19:45 PM: Truck Pulls: for people who cannot understand the WWF ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 322 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Admin) Date: Thu Nov 8 22:36:01 2001 Subject: [ic] IC Ports Where did you fing the RPM?

Couldn't you strace the process in that condition (before the 300 seconds timeout of course)? For that, just give a "strace -p <pid>". It procduces a lot of output. I would expect that it consists of a very few calls repeating always. Maybe you could mail those 2 or 5 lines repeating or describe shortly what you see (i.e. "many open()s and close() on the same files x,y and z" or so). > Are there other programs where logging should be uncommented?

[...] Would be a little late in that state :) Usually I would suggest to attach a gdb (gdb <binary> <pid>), but since it's perl it may not be useful (except you like to debug the perl binary itself :)). Maybe you can find answers when starting IC with --debug to prevent it from forking with "perl -d" ("perl -d interchange -r" or so). Enter "c" to continue. Wait. Make the request or whatever. In the condition, hit STRG-C. Give "T" (uppercase) to get a backtrace (this shows the function which is active currently). I have never tried this with Interchange - it may be not working at all.

The little feeback I got from the customer was that when he clicked Place Order it took a long time for anything to happen but when something did happen the checkout page was returned with an error message. Unfortunately, he can't remember what the message was. However, the order was placed successfully as it was added to the system and he got his order confirmation email. I've checked the various logs and no error was recorded and the extra debugging information I added returned no error at all either. So my question is, does anybody know why interchange would return to the checkout page even though the order was placed successfully.

The little feeback I got from the customer was that when he clicked Place Order it took a long time for anything to happen but when something did happen the checkout page was returned with an error message. Unfortunately, he can't remember what the message was. However, the order was placed successfully as it was added to the system and he got his order confirmation email. I've checked the various logs and no error was recorded and the extra debugging information I added returned no error at all either. So my question is, does anybody know why interchange would return to the checkout page even though the order was placed successfully.

Good ideas all... the only problem is my customer doesn't want that... They want to enter it in and have it print them out.... Handling printing like this in linux is really easy.. And not a problem at all. I do that all the time with other applications. It's the CC info on the printout that has me stumped. Sometimes the customer just wants it the way they want it and if I can't figure out how to do it..

I tried both - two separate computers on a T-1. Cookies are enabled for both of the Netscape versions. For instance, click on Levels and then buy the 24" level. Don't go to the cart or press anything else and immediately click on Rulers and buy the Folding Ruler. Now, click on the Cart and see what shows up. As of right now - NOTHING on mine. Under Advanced in Netscape - it is set to Accept all cookies. Now, I'm headed to the Linux machine to try it.

I've found a few instances where testing a hash val in an an undefined hash will kill perl, something like if($f->{bar}=~s/asdfasf/qwerqwer/) { dead } where $f=\%foo and %foo does not exist. Something like that. And it seems to depend on what kind of an eval {} one is in. Inconsistent and I do not understand it; this is perl, not C. It is very clearly something different betwee 5.6.0 and 5.6.1. Just start hacking away the page until you find it. Suspect the tags, dump the variables. -- Christopher F.

This is probably a page specific issue and more likely has something to do with your code. The default quantity for an order link is 1; I'm pretty sure there is no default quantity for posts.

Something along these lines: [set order_profile] [perl] $license=&license_number; push @OUT,qq`$license=required That item requires a license.` if(&license_required); return join "\n",@OUT; [/perl] [/set] where license_number maps item_code to appropriate license and license_required tests whether or not you need it. If you do this in basket, you need to iterate for(@{$Vend::Items}) and will probably want to stuff the license into an attribute for convenience; on product flypage, you have the [item tags].

Just add two data columns, previous and next to your products database. Otherwise you could write some tag that would apply whatever sort of logic your catalog requires, eg alphabetic, size, by code. You'd probably want to cache the result set for that, because you will have to select all products each time for anything complex. Build a file in the background like code previous next and just pull the line for the code in question. > Any ideas? > > Thomas > > _______________________________________________ > interchange-users mailing list > interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com > http://interchange.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users -- Christopher F.

If this is possible, how would the setup look? That doesn't make any sense; I probably don't understand the question. If it is the same cart, same shipping, same database, why not just use one catalog? What you describe sounds like three instances of the same catalog. Yes, you can do that. -- Christopher F.

If the Interchange daemon is in fact running, and you get a result from the cgi it means, as you correctly guessed, they can't talk to each other. The cgi probably doesn't have the setuid bit set: chmod u+s {apache}/cgi-bin/foundation.cgi (or whatever it is named) And make sure it is owned by the same user running the interchange daemon.

No; it's not designed for that sort of thing. You could reinvent all the wheels if you want. If you do reinvent all the wheels, you'll find a web interface is too slow for real productivity. Typically one would glue IC to something designed for inventory/accounting, either live or batch. -- Christopher F.

You can, however, write some add-on modules to the demos that will do a very nice job of it. I am using Retail Plus from True North Computer Systems in Canada for my inventory and POS system. I print out the e-mails from IC, and manually enter it all into the POS, including Charge Card info and let the POS do the Charge Card verifications through ICVerify. I prefer to have to do these addditional steps since it keeps me in closer contact with the customers and allow me to give them better customer service. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Sunday, November 11, 2001 at 20:40 PM: My cat is good for nothing, but he's very, very good! ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 0 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jim Balcom) Date: Sun Nov 11 20:53:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Scalability of IC On Sun, 11 Nov 2001 cfm@maine.com wrote: >>On Sun, Nov 11, 2001 at 08:01:46PM -0500, Michael Stearne wrote: >>> I have a client that wants to implement IC for their on-line retail >>> presence.

Typically one >>would glue IC to something designed for inventory/accounting, either >>live or batch. This kind of thing comes back to the Windows vs (L/U)nix thing. Windows wants to have an integrated package that does a lot of things all at once. Outlook Express is an example of this. It has it's own mail 'fetcher' it's own mail reader, and it's own editor for answering/writing e-mail, all in one package with no options for changing any of them. In my configuration of Linux, I am using sendmail to send and receive mail. I am using Pine to read mail. And when I write mail, I use Joe as my editor. Unix/Linux has the philosphy of one task for one program. Trying to have IC handle all of these other functions kind of defeats all of this, and as you quite correctly say, would drastically slow the whole thing down. IC is a program for selling stuff via e-commerce. Let's stick to that and continue to do that one thing very well. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Sunday, November 11, 2001 at 20:45 PM: Disc space - the final frontier! ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 0 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jim Webster) Date: Sun Nov 11 23:53:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Picture Files I've created a form for my client to fill out when they need to post a product to the site that I maintain.

Hi, I realise this message is a little off-topic, and I apologise. However like myself, I'm sure there are a lot of IC developers who can't find good, afordable hosting for their interchange-based sites. I'm wondering if there's anyone here, in Australia, interested in splitting the cost of co-locating a server with me? I'm looking to find about three people (so there would be four of us in total) to do this with. If you're interested, reply to me, and I'll give you some info on costs etc, but to give you an idea, between four of us this won't cost much more than what one normal 'shared server' account would with a hosting company.

What I need to put together is an advanced search form to allow customers to search titles for keywords within prod_group or category. The data is not unlike the original 'Art gallery' type database: description, artist, prod_group, category. What I really need is an example of an efficient advanced search form that deals directly with the mySQL DB allowing searches through hardcoded prod_groups or categories drop downs. My SQL (no pun intended) understanding is not that brilliant. My previous catalogs relied on Glimpse for searching. I've been through http://www.minivend.com/doc-4.8/frames/ictags_59.html several times and haven't been able to grasp the concepts as much as I would have liked. How do I allow searches through a DB this large without over burdening the server? I would love to view an example or two of an advanced search page specific to mySQL and Interchange and a large DB.

Please report the error or try again later. (DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: unterminated string starting on line 2 at /interchange/sys/lib/Vend/Table/DBI.pm line 937. )" I've uncommented some of ::logDebug code in DBI.pm (and added some more logDebug) in sub set_slice. This is the relevant section of my DBI.pm file: ..... ::logDebug("set_slice query: $sql"); ::logDebug("set_slice key/fields/values:\nkey=$key\n" . ::uneval($fary, $vary)); my $sth = $s->[$DBI]->prepare($sql) or die ::errmsg("prepare %s: %s", $sql, $DBI::errstr); ::logDebug("set_slice prepare done (sql: $sql)"); my $rc = $sth->execute(@$vary) or die ::errmsg("execute %s: %s", $sql, $DBI::errstr); ::logDebug("set_slice execute done (sql: $sql)"); .....

If you try to do any coding in the JS string itself, you inevitably have to use quotes (and spaces). The way I was able to get JS through was to define all the code I needed in a function with no args (or at least no string args), NO spaces, and just call the function: js=onChange=myfunc() Then, myfunc will run. Obviously, this has extreme limitations, so I've spoken with Jon Jensen about bringing the quoting of [prefix-*] tags on par with the normal quoting mechanisms (|,',",`). He is looking into it. However, you can always pass the object with 'this', and with enough effort you should be able to accomplish whatever you need in the function. This works since this is not quoted. -- Mark Johnson Senior Systems Architect - Professional Services Red Hat, Inc.

IC would do very well to become a front-end for many back-end systems (ERP/CRM/etc. solutions). Many IC service providers specialize in integrating IC with backend systems (i.e. inventory, invoices/customer info, order status, etc., etc.). As far as an ERP/CRM solution goes, here are the $1,000,000 players: Siebel, Clarify, Vantive, Pivotal, SAP-R3, SalesLogix, Epiphany, Oracle, Baan, CODA, D&B, IBM, Software 2000, SNI, PeopleSoft, Marcam, J.D. Edwards. But there now is a new Open Source player (not quite $1 mil. material, but close enough for the size of business you are talking about): Compiere (MPL). See my message below regarding Compiere. HTH, HAND, Dan Browning Kavod Technologies Announcing Compiere: the open source ERP & CRM solution I recently stumbled across Compiere (http://www.compiere.org & http://sf.net/projects/compiere) and I was so impressed that I have to say something. I have in the past integrated Interchange with expensive accounting / ERP solutions (like MAS90) for running "back office" tasks (inventory, POS, accounting, etc., etc.), and have always pined for a great open source CRM & ERP. Here it is. I believe that most of you will find this is exactly the software that you need to complement interchange (your front end e-commerce app) with a backend (ERP, advanced CRM). (I wont be surprised if RH buys ComPiere too ;-) In fact, I think Compiere is even *better* than the big boys (SAP, Baan, Oracle-*, etc.) in some ways (besides being open source). The current version takes about 4 hours to install (including Oracle, etc.), but the next release due out in a few weeks will have many improvements (including PHB Oracle installation). I sincerely think that the opensourcing of Compiere is as monumental as was the posting of Linux 0.01 by Linus. Further, I expect to see at least 20 new Compiere developers come from this list. :-) If you get as excited about it as I did, don't hesitate to run around, scream, shout, and then send a thank you to the author. I can't seem to say enough good things about the quality of the project. I tried to write some info about it (features, technologies, etc.) below to whet your appetites. See you guys on the compiere-help@sf.net mailing list, Dan Browning Kavod Technologies Author: The lead programmer is Jorg Janke (more info: http://www.compiere.org/home/aboutus.html) Platforms: Server: Linux or Windows NT/2000 Client: Linux or Windows NT/2000 or DHTML License: Mozilla Public License 1.1 for Compiere only (see http://www.compiere.org/home/whyfree.html#whatfree for what else is required to run Compiere) Short Description: Compiere is the Open Source ERP & CRM solution with first tier functionality for the small-medium enterprise.

All server services are implemented as Dynamic Managed Beans (MBean). The Compiere Server is based on the JMX reference implementation. . Compiere Server (JMX compliant MBean Server) . Compiere Server Services (JMX compliant Dynamoc MBeans) o Accounting Server o Request Server o Utility Server This architecture allows to . Manage the MBeans (start/stop/..) and inquire their status locally and remotely . Ability to integrate with an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager or CIM/WBEM manager . Add additional services required (e.g. Servlet Server, EJB engine, ...) . Ability to integrate the Compiere Server services into any JMX compliant server (e.g. Application Servers) Stand alone mode In the stand alone mode, the Compiere JMX Server also manages: . Java Servlet & JSP Server (Tomcat and Jasper wrapped in a Dynamic MBean) . JBoss EJB engine and JNDI components required for the Compiere application Integrated mode The stand alone mode is intended for small footprint, small implementations. If you need to integrate significant functionality, you could integrate the Compiere Services as MBeans in JMX compliant agents (MBean Servers) like JBoss or in other Application Servers. Application technology: Technology Stack Compiere is a 100% pure Java solution based on Oracle database technology. The client application component is written entirely in Java designed to utilize the capacity of today's PCs. The Java Application or Java Applet client is the preferred choice for high data volume as it provides a high performance Windows based user interface. It communicates, via thin JDBC, with the database layer and via IIOP with the application layer. The client accesses the server via the Internet or Intranet. As an alternative, a HTML client could be used to extend, where the installation or download of the application is not appropriate (i.e. self-service functionality for vendors, customers, employees). This part is implemented through Java Servlets and Java Server Pages, to be hosted in Servlet Servers (like JRun) or the Oracle Database Server (8.1.7) directly. The application server component is implemented in Java and SQLJ (Embedded SQL in Java) as Java Enterprise Beans hosted in the Oracle Database Server. Some application functionality is implemented as PL/SQL. The majority of the functionality is implemented as Java Stored Procedures. Compiere utilizes the option to natively compile and deploy Java in the Database, which increases the performance as it eliminates the Java interpreter on the server side. We are members of the Oracle, Sun and Microsoft technology programs and are using Rational Rose for analysis and design, Borland JBuilder Java for Java development and debugging, OptimizeIt for Java performance and memory debugging, ParaSoft JTest for automatic testing, ZeroG InstallAnywhere to create automatic installs, JRun as Servlet Server and the Embarcadero suite of products for database maintenance and PL/SQL programming and debugging. Compiere uses the ILOG Java rules engine currently for creating accounting transactions and pricing decisions. Complex logic is easier maintained with rules than with procedural logic. This also allows sophisticated users to extend the functionality. The rules are compiled for maximum runtime performance. Deployment Options Compiere has the following main components: . Client o Java Application o Java Applet o HTML based . Servlet Server for HTML based Application . Application Server . Database Server All application components can be deployed on all Java enabled platforms: Windows (NT, 2000), UNIX, Linux. Mac, etc. A variety of configurations are supported. Where communication bandwidth allows, the Application Client can be deployed as Windows Application or Java Applet. The Java Applet and the Java Application are functionally identical. A communication bandwidth of 128 kbps is sufficient for the Windows Application. For the HTML client, a Java Servlet and JSP (Java Server Pages) Server is required. Options include JRun. In addition to the standard HTTP Internet communication, the SSL secure protocol could be used. The Java Application Server is based on Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) or Remote Method Invocation (RMI) technology and could be deployed as a stand-alone tier in the Oracle Application Server or other EJB servers. The secure standard IIOP protocol is used. The Database Server hosts data and application logic and is accessed by the standard JDBC (Java Database Communication) protocol. Functionality at the database level is implemented in PL/SQL and Java Stored Procedures. In Oracle 8i the database includes a CORBA and an EJB server. Since the majority of functionality is data intensive, eliminating an additional level reduces overhead and improves performance. With Oracle 8.1.7, the database includes also a Servlet & JSP server The portability and hardware independence allows for easy deployment and rollout reducing the hardware and administrative overhead. Depending on the environment, a simple two-tier deployment might be sufficient with the option to migrate anytime to a multi-tier deployment environment.

Dan Browning Kavod Technologies From: interchange-users-admin@minivend.com on behalf of Mike Heins [mikeh@minivend.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 12:58 PM To: Interchange User List Subject: [ic] Tips and Tricks -- optimizing lists Area: Core Category: Templates Item: List optimization Interchange has powerful search capabilities that allow you to produce lists of items for use in category lists, product lists, indexes, and other navigation tools. These are a two-edged sword, though. Lists of hundreds or thousands of entries can be returned, and techniques that work well displaying only a few items may slow to a crawl when a large list is returned. In general, when you are returning one item (i.e. a flypage) or a small list (i.e. a shopping cart) you can be pretty carefree in your use of [if ...] and [calc] and [perl] tags. When there are hundreds of items, though, you cannot; each complex test or embedded Perl snippet causes the Safe module to have to evaluate code, and each ITL tag requires parsing and argument building. The Safe module is pretty fast considering what it does, but it can only generate a few thousand instances per second even on a fast system. And the ITL tag parser can likewise only parse thousands of tags per CPU second. What to do? You want to provide complex conditional tests but you don't want your system to slow to a crawl. Luckily, there are techniques which can speed up complex lists by orders of magnitude. ------------ Benchmarking ------------ A non-precise benchmark of different iteration options can be done with the following global UserTag. Place this in a file in the usertag/ directory in the Interchange root: UserTag benchmark Order start display UserTag benchmark AddAttr UserTag benchmark Routine <<EOR my $bench_start; my @bench_times; sub { my ($start, $display, $opt) = @_; my @times = times(); if($start or ! defined $bench_start) { $bench_start = 0; @bench_times = @times; for(@bench_times) { $bench_start += $_; } } my $current_total; if($display or ! $start) { for(@times) { $current_total += $_; } unless ($start) { $current_total = sprintf '%.3f', $current_total - $bench_start; for(my $i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) { $times[$i] = sprintf '%.3f', $times[$i] - $bench_times[$i]; } } return $current_total if ! $opt->{verbose}; return "total=$current_total user=$times[0] sys=$times[1] cuser=$times[2] csys=$times[3]"; } return; } EOR Then at the beginning of the code to check, call [benchmark start=1] to start the measurement. At the end [benchmark] will display the time used. Bear in mind that it is not precise, and that there may be variation due to system conditions. Also, the longer the times and the bigger the list, the better the comparison. To see the system/user breakdown, do: [benchmark verbose=1] In general, "user" time measures Interchange processing time and and the rest are indicative of the database access overhead, which can vary widely from database to database. ------------- Optimizations ------------- ---------------------------------------------------- [PREFIX-tag] is faster than [parsed-tag] [loop prefix=foo search="ra=yes"] [foo-data products image] is slightly faster than [foo-field image] which is MUCH faster than [data products image [foo-code]] which is faster than [data table=products column=image key="[foo-code]"] [/loop] The loop tags are interpreted by means of fast regular expression scans of the loop container text, and fetch an entire row of data in one query. The [data ...] ITL tag interpretation is delayed until after the loop is finished, whereby the ITL tag parser must find the tag, build a parameter list, then fetch the data with a separate query. If there are repeated references to the same field in the loop, the speedup can be 10x or more. ---------------------------------------------------- Pre-fetch data with rf=field1,field2,field3 and access with [PREFIX-param field1]. mv_return_fields (otherwise known as "rf" in one-click terminology) sets the fields that are returned from a search. Once they are returned, they can be accessed with [PREFIX-param field]. They can also be referenced with [PREFIX-pos N], where N is a digit representing the ordinal position (i.e. starting with 0) in the list of fields. The following are equivalent: Benchmark loop-field list: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes/st=db"] [loop-code] price: [loop-field price] [/loop] --> TIME: [benchmark] <P> Benchmark loop-param list: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes/st=db/rf=sku,price"] [loop-code] price: [loop-param price] [/loop] --> TIME: [benchmark] but the second is much, much faster. ---------------------------------------------------- [PREFIX-alternate N] is available for row counting and display. A common need when building tables is to conditionally close the table row or data containers. I see a lot of: [loop search="ra=yes"] [calc] return '<TR>' if [loop-increment] == 1; return[/calc] [calc] return '' if [loop-increment] % 3; return '</TR>' [/calc] [/loop] Much faster, by a few orders of magnitude, is: [loop search="ra=yes"] [loop-change 1][condition]1[/condition]<TR>[/loop-change 1] [loop-alternate 3]</TR>[/loop-alternate] [/loop] If you think you need to close the final row by checking the final count, look at this: [loop search="ra=yes"] [on-match] <TABLE> <TR> [/on-match] [list] <TD>[loop-code]</TD> [loop-alternate 3]</TR><TR>[/loop-alternate] [/list] [on-match] </TR> </TABLE> [/on-match] [no-match] No match, sorry. [/no-match] [/loop] This is a hundred times faster than anything you can build with multiple [calc] tags. ---------------------------------------------------- Use simple go/nogo comparisons in [if ...] Consider these two snippets: [if scratch|value|cgi key] THEN [/if] and: [if scratch|value|cgi key == '1'] THEN [/if] The first one doesn't require Perl evaluation. It simply checks to see if the value is blank or 0, and returns true if it is anything but. Of course this requires setting your test values to blank or 0 instead of "No" or " " or somesuch, but it is anywhere from 20-35% faster. Try it on the construct demo: ---- begin test --- Overhead: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes"][set cert][loop-field gift_cert][/set][/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> if scratch compare: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes"] [set cert][loop-field gift_cert][/set] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> if scratch compare eq 1: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes"] [set cert][loop-field gift_cert][/set] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> [page @@MV_PAGE@@]Again[/page] ---- end test --- ---------------------------------------------------- Use [PREFIX-calc] instead of [calc] or [perl] (This facility is not yet documented, but will be soon.) You can execute the same code as [calc] with [PREFIX-calc], which has two benefits: 1. It doesn't require ITL parsing. 2. It is executed during the loop instead of after it. The [PREFIX-calc] object has complete access to all normal embedded Perl objects like $Values, $Carts, $Tag, and such. If you want to make a data table (i.e. "products" or "pricing") available for access inside of it, just do: [perl tables="products pricing"] [/perl] prior to list start. Now you can do something like: [loop search="ra=yes"] [loop-calc] $desc = $Tag->data('products', 'description', '[loop-code]'); $link = $Tag->page('[loop-code]'); return "$link $desc </A>"; [/loop-calc] <BR> [/loop] ---------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED: Precompile and execute with [PREFIX-sub] and [PREFIX-exec] (This facility is not yet documented, but will be soon.) For repetitive routines, you can achieve a considerable savings in CPU by pre-compiling your embedded Perl code. In the "Construct Something" demo, the bar_link() routine in catalog_before.cfg is an example of compiling the subroutine once at catalog configuration time. You can also compile routines at the time of the list execution with [item-sub routine] CODE [/item-sub]. This means only one Safe evaluation is done -- every time the [loop-exec routine] is called, it is done fast as a call to the routine. This can be 10 times or more faster than separate [calc] calls, or 5 times faster than separate [PREFIX-calc] calls. Example: [benchmark start=1] loop-calc: <!-- [loop search="st=db/fi=country/ra=yes/ml=1000"] [loop-calc] my $code = q{[loop-code]}; return "code '$code' reversed is " . reverse($code); [/loop-calc] [/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> [benchmark start=1] loop-sub and loop-exec: <!-- [loop search="st=db/fi=country/ra=yes/ml=1000"] [loop-sub country_compare] my $code = shift; return "code '$code' reversed is " . reverse($code); [/loop-sub] [loop-exec country_compare][loop-code][/loop-exec] [/loop] --> [benchmark] ---------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED: Execute and save with [query ...], then use an embedded Perl routine. You can run [query arrayref=myref sql="query"], which saves the results of the search/query in a Perl reference. It is then available in $Tmp->{myref}. (Of course, "myref" can be any arbitrary name.) This is the fastest possible method to display a list. Observe: --- begin test code --- [set waiting_for]os28004[/set] [benchmark start=1] Embedded Perl <!-- [query arrayref=myref sql="select sku, price, description from products"] <!-- make query, this container text is not used. --> [/query] [perl] # Get the query results, has multiple fields my $ary = $Tmp->{myref}; my $out = ''; foreach $line (@$ary) { my ($sku, $price, $desc) = @$line; if($sku eq $Scratch->{waiting_for}) { $out .= "We were waiting for this one!!!!\n"; } $out .= "sku: $sku price: $price description: $desc\n"; } return $out; [/perl] --> TIME: [benchmark] [benchmark start=1] All loop <!-- [query list=1 sql="select sku, price, description from products"] [if scratch waiting_for eq '[sql-code]']We were waiting for this one!!!! [/if] sku: [sql-code]price: [sql-param price] desc: [sql-param description] [/query] --> TIME: [benchmark] --- end test code --- ---------------------------------------------------- Other things that help: *** Avoid interpolate=1 when possible. A separate tag parser must be spawned every time you do this. Many times people use this without needing it. *** Avoid saving large values to Scratch, as these have to be written to the users session. If you need them only for the current page, clear at the end by using [tmp scratch_var] contents [/tmp], which is the same as [seti scratch_var] contents [/seti] except clears the value before the session is written. You can also use [scratchd scratch_var] to return the contents and delete them from the session at the same time. *** Use the [more-list] facility to break up your large searches. You can use them in [query ....] and [loop ...] searches as well -- see the docs. -- Akopia, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Any man who is under 30, and is not liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has not brains. -- Winston Churchill _______________________________________________ Interchange-users mailing list Interchange-users@www.minivend.com http://www.minivend.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Ethan Goldstine) Date: Mon Nov 12 13:07:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Credit Card Checking & CreditCardAuto Hi, All-- I am new to Interchange, am setting up a store for the first and am somewhat confused about the use of CreditCardAuto, even after reading the documentation and everything posted to the boards about it. When CreditCardAuto is set to Yes, a valid credit card generates the "Can't figure out credit card expiration" that is documented in other postings. I have EncryptProgram set to gpg, and the software is successfully encrypting the e-mail it's sending to the store owner. I have tried setting EncryptProgram to /usr/bin/gpg -a -e -r ethan@kapow.com and that doesn't help. I'm assuming that when CreditCardAuto is functioning properly, it saves the encrypted credit card info into the database. What field does it go into? I don't think I have a field for it in any of my tables. Is that possibly what's causing the problem? The bottom line is this: does anyone have a good explanation of exactly what CreditCardAuto does and how it does it?

Well, the [query] tag doc (which you have already studied) is about as good as it gets in the current incarnation if the IC manuals. I would suggest taking a look at the UI html files (VENDROOT/lib/UI/pages/admin/) for a few examples of the this tag in use: customer_view.html and order_view.html each contain reasonably straight-forward examples which should help you on your way. - Ed L. =============================================================== New Media E.M.S.

This is a thorny question. It has many possible causes, and most often occurs when you try to use a different secure server domain than the regular catalog runs on. (See the next question for more info on that.) If your secure domain is the same as the non-secure domain, it is usually due to the user not having cookies enabled. It can be due to the HostnameLookups (Stronghold/Apache parameter) not matching for the two servers, secure and non-secure. It can also be caused by the user having different web proxy addresses for HTTP and HTTPS. If it still does not work, try changing some of the appropriate configuration parameters in interchange.cfg: DomainTail No IpHead Yes If you still are having problems, try this combination in catalog.cfg, the catalog configuration file: SessionExpire 10 minutes WideOpen Yes The above setting will typically make Interchange work when it is possible to work. Sometimes when you have multiple Interchange servers sharing the same secure server, you will have problems after accessing the second one. (The first one issues a session ID cookie, and that causes problems). I have a different secure server domain. Why does the shopping cart get dropped? First of all, it is questionable business practice to not certify your secure server. Besides violating the terms of use of many certificate issuers, customers notice the changed domain and it is proven by user surveys and long experience that you will receive fewer orders as a result. Certs can be obtained for $125 US per year, less than the typical cost of one hour of a top consultant's time. Do your business a favor -- spend the money to get a cert. If you insist on doing it anyway, probably driven by the fact that you need a dedicated IP address for a secure server, you can use the solutions in the previous FAQ question and get some relief. But by far the best way is to have all orders and shopping cart calls go only to the secure domain. Your users may get a different session when browsing the non-secure catalog pages, but it will matter little. To do this on the Foundation demo, place in catalog.cfg: AlwaysSecure order ord/basket ord/checkout A more complete list might be: AlwaysSecure <<EOF account change_password customerservice login logout new_account ord/basket ord/checkout order process query/check_orders query/order_detail query/order_return returns saved_carts ship_addresses EOF (Thanks to John Beima for the above list.) Add pages of your own that need to be sure of coherent session information. For all *forms* to be secure, make sure "process" is on that list. (Your search forms will still be non-secure if you use "[process-search]" to produce the form ACTION.) To make individual order links secure, use this instead of "[order]": <A HREF="[area href=order secure=1 form='mv_order_item=SKU_OF_ITEM' ]">Order it</A> To make a form-based order button secure, use "[process secure=1]" as the ACTION. My images aren't there on the secure server!!! You have a different document root, or the permissions are not such that you can access them. You can set a different base URL for images with: ImageDirSecure https://your.secure.server/somewhere/images Don't try to set it to an http:// URL -- images will be broken anyway. My secure pages fail when my browser is MSIE. MSIE has several SSL bugs, particularly in V5.01. See the C<Apache-SSL> or C<mod_ssl> FAQ.

Using the flex editor would not be possible, except where I mention below. The other should be. You could create a Global UserTag which passes back a handle to the $dbh (DBI object), then do object methods with it. Also, you probably don't know it is possible (actually probably nobody but me knows) to add a single database to an Interchange catalog without going through the entire config process. Depending on how your server is set up, it would be quite efficient and could be done on a running server withoug impacting performance hardly at all. This would allow the flex editor to operate on the table. Interchange actually can easily define several hundred of its DBs with very little downside in processing time. Benchmarks of its dummy database creation show the ability to create about 100,000 per second, which means that a thousand would take only a 10 milliseconds or so.

Take the "Freemoney" project for example (www.freemoney.org). Freemoney is an Interchange-based accounting system. Interchange is not just about E-Commerce; it can be made to do anything that needs a web-based front end. There is an online Freemoney project demo at www.web-counting.com. The project is still in its early days, but appears to be coming along nicely. I've been tracking the CVS changes for some time now. It could, eventually, be used to replace in-house accounting and inventory systems. Strangely enough, SuSE sell their Linux distribution using Interchange and Freemoney (www.suse.dk). Red Hat may want to consider doing that at some point. :-) -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.uk.com _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jason Korkin) Date: Mon Nov 12 20:14:03 2001 Subject: [ic] multiple stores - one cart What about the 'subcatalog' directive that Interchange supports. Basically, set up one catalog, then you can create "mirrors" of the same catalog, and in the catalog.cfg file, specify a PageDir if you want to use different pages. We're doing this for about 25+ catalogs right now and its working great! Check out the following URL over at the Interchange site: http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icconfig04%2e49 You'll need to tinker a bit with a few modifications, but in all, it works like a charm.

Before I go through the steps to do this I would like to hear if there are plans in the near future to implement these functions so I do not reinvent the wheel? I see there is a gift_certs table which has certainly given me ideas on how to handle these functions, but it appears that if you purchase a gift certificate there is no way to redeem it. Can it be verified whether this will appear in the next release or not?

I know I could make 2 different categories and set the prod_group in each, however that will eventually become very messy.

Hello all, I just learned a lesson the hard way and wanted to share what I learned. I have been setting up catalogs specifying the 'M' option for PermType during the makecat process. This means that each user will be in their own group and Interchange files will be owned by the user with the group also being the user's individual group. This implies that the interchange user (interch for me) must be in each user's group. When you have a large number of catalogs, this seems like a logical way to do things while maintaining a certain level of security so that users can't alter other catalog owner's files. But, there is a major flaw with that system... Most *nix versions including Red Hat 7.1 which I use, has a limit on the number of groups that a user can belong to (usually 16, but 32 for some flavors). That means that after your 31st(ish) catalog, interch will no longer have access to the user group owned files and will therefore disable the catalog. The tricky thing is that you can specify whatever you want in the /etc/group file, but that doesn't mean that it will work. Unless someone else has a solution for this, it appears that there is a limit of 32 catalogs when using the 'M' PermType option. And since this is what makecat recommends, it really should be documented somewhere...

Also just a design note, it would be nice if the page editor would go back to the file listing of the directory you were working in instead of jumping all the way back to the pages directory.

Scott Andreas :) You can probably without much sweat customize IC to do what you want, but I like to think of IC as more of working in tandem with software specialized to do what you're talking about (called CRM - Customer Relationship Management). Right now all you want to do is send a targeted email to those on your list so you something that can do that (IC can with a little customization), but wouldn't you really rather have a specialized open source solution that really takes the cake for CRM?

OKay, The max number of groups a user can be a member of is set via the kernel: (namely the NGROUPS_MAX and NGROUPS definitions). You need to however also recompile glibc to be without problems. Instructions on how to do this can be found at: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0010.0/0788.html Whilst it talks of nfs servers -- the same theory applies. Hope that helps... In theory there is nothing stoppping you moving the NGROUPS_MAX to something like 256 or 512... Regards, Matt Bottrell. From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jeff Fearn) Date: Tue Nov 13 19:03:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Nested Loops - Newbie This is pretty useful, however it is not what I was looking for. This generates a unique category for each product/category combination. Which does automate the task, it however does not get passed the messy solution of having multiple categories with the same title. i.e. Courses->OS has the same title as Software->OS, the difference is the options used in field/column pairs. I put the file in /var/lib/interchange/store/pages/admin, the catalog is store :} I believe the solution I am looking for requires modification of category_vertical, specifically the use of the box loop parameters in the cat loop. To add/expand the sf & se fields. This would allow you to have one OS category and adding it to an area would automatically filter OS products to that area. This is a much better solution as it reduces the number and complexity of categories, and will not require the generation of a new category for an existing category when it is added to a new area.

It's a permissions thing. If you ran makecat as root, and you used a PermType of 'm' then you will need to add interch to the catuser's group. Otherwise, you can use 'g' for the PermType. There are implications either way, but if you mess with PermType, CatUser, and Interchange User, you will get it to work. Jason From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Justin Bonds) Date: Wed Nov 14 03:06:02 2001 Subject: [ic] Possible bug ? Can't save and restore carts David, I am using Internet Explorer 6 and did both a Saved Cart and a Recurring Order. I even logged out, then exited out of the site and Internet Explorer - came back - logged back in - and they're still there.

I found a lot of non-declared variables to be logged. I copied a few files from the backup copy. How do the developers test this software? Well, now I have a Vend.debug and a Vend.nodbug - Vend itself is now a symlink. Now it's going really crazy: with the debug version the 99%CPU hang does not occures: interchange works, but with debug only. This may be due to a debug statement side effect? I tried it 10 times, 5 with and 5 without debug. In every case with debug it worked, and every case without debug the interchange hangs!

Surprisingly I found that this problem seems not to occure with enabled debugging. I assumed a side effect. I tried to determine the position with try and error. I found a single line that seem to be a workaround. This line in in the file Vend/SessionFile.pm. It's at the end in sub DELETE and reads as it follows: ::logDebug("storing in $SessionFile: " . ::uneval($ref)); To go sure, I used the original File, which has this line commented out. Instead I added: ::uneval($ref); And it works, too. No 99% CPU processes. I don't know what unveal does, but it workarounds the problem.

When talking about tag problems, include a snippet of ITL tags which illustrates the problem. 4.

It means your webserver is not finding the url you asked it for. It isn't a mysql problem. Interrchange won't give you error messages, because it is an apache problem. Check /etc/httpd/logs/error_log ( on redhat < 6.2) or in /var/log/httpd/error_log what were you trying to get ? www.myhost.com/cgi-bin/catalogname? check you entered the right details for document root etc when you ran makecat Cheers, leon admin wrote: > Hello together, > > I've already an interchange shop without any problems. > But the products database is the default products.txt > database.

This option only produced a category for the first area a product was in. i.e. I have a product in area Courses category OS and another product in area Software category OS, only 1 OS category was produced in the design page. This was the first Area/Category and the se/sf values were hard coded. I must not be communicating what I want very well, so I'll try again :} What I want to do is in the design page have 1 category, say OS, and when I apply that category to any area, the links generated should only link to products in the area & category. I don not want to generate 1 category per area/category combination.Unfortunately the use of "category" here is confusing as it is being used in 2 different contexts :{ What I need is to be able to set sf=AREA_SF and se=AREA_SE in the search link for the category. That is, I must be able to use variables in the search as oppossed to hard coded values that auto_layout generates. The search needs to be dynamically generated at runtime, not hard coded in the design phase. This way you will only ever require 1 category per category, regardless of how many areas it is in. It seems to me that this should be the default behaviour. In fact I can't think of a time when you would want to display both area and category and have products from other areas displayed. It also seems strange to require specific searching on Area/Category for every Area/Category seperately, i.e. OS-Courses category to be used when you want to view OS products in courses and OS-Software category to search for software bundles etc. If you wanted to display products in a cataloge from every area surely you would simply not put an se/sf pair in the area search. I am sure this needs to be done in code, and the most likely area I have found is accessing the box loop se/sf pair in the cat loop search in category_vertical. I have a two step process using the auto-populate feature that should make it simple enough for the sales staff to add new areas. However I still believe the approach taken is overly complex. if (AREA_SE != NULL) add_se($searchm AREA_SE) etc . There you go, one category per category, if you don't want to display a category by area, don't have an area search, even sales staff can handle that :} Jeff. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Mike Heins) Date: Wed Nov 14 19:59:00 2001 Subject: [ic] workaround found for 99%CPU usage problem in Vend/SessionFile.pm: "::uneval($ref);" fixes it Quoting Steffen Dettmer (steffen@dett.de): > You're right, sorry.

That is it -- flock() doesn't work across NFS filesystems. And it won't work at all if you don't have lockd running; even then you should set LockType to "fcntl" if you want to still try NFS. But on the 2.2.x kernel series there is not much hope of it working. In any case, I am certain if it moves to a local file system the problem will disappear. > > Do you have an idea why the line "::uneval($ref);" worksarounds > this problems?

This would be an alternative, but since I have only a single web server I think it's a lot more performant to have file based sessions, correct?

Essentially, the physical side is one big store that has three major suppliers, each supplier has a different product line (thousand or so items each), they are all sold under the one roof, but in different sections (but only one merchant account). As you quite rightly put it, I'm trying to make it easy for administration of stocks (ie keeping the databases seperate) and the ordering/mailing together. I'll take your suggestion,though, and put the stocks together for the on-line store and seperate them by menus, it's going to be the quickest way and I'm running out of time very quickly. Once our new epos system is finished being installed, (I'm doing that as well) I'll have a bit more time and return to the problem then. thanks again Dave From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Rick Dickulous) Date: Thu Nov 15 13:08:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Oooops!

I checked /pages/results.html and found several hard coded entries for the offending /interchange/en_US and changed them to the correct directory. That fixed the problem but leaves me wondering why is that en_US directory in there and why did it work initially and then break?

I've generally found that, when doing complex searches, it is easier to collect search criteria in one step with a simple non-search form, then analyze the input and compose/submit the search in a second step.

So I changed them to gdbm's to make the symlinks easier. Then I got bogged down a bit. If I create three identical foundations stores, delete the session dirs in two of them and symlink them to the third, everything works well with the "floating" cart, I can purchase items from any of the stores and check out just on one store with everything as expected. BUT ... if I load any of the products tables with different items, it no longer works :o( Which seems to suggest that it's on the right lines, but there's more to figure out.

Hi, Meanwhile this newbie Installed IC several times with success, no errors were reported ;-) because I have satisfied all dependencies. Running SuSE Linux 7.2 kernel 2.4.4-4GB on Asus A7V mobo, Thunderbird 1Ghz, 256MB PC150. Interchange 4.8.2 / foundation demo perl, v5.6.0 built for i586-linux During install process I choose not to populate the store, because I wanted to upload my own products file afterwards, by using template.xls file that you can download when you're almost done with the store "wizard" within the administration UI section. The following "Fatal Error" appears immediatly when my products file starts to be parsed : DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'where sku = '10100'' at line 1 at /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Table/DBI.pm line 1129, line 21. Progress to date: table inventory: Using fields from file: 'sku quantity stock_message account cogs_account' So I then choose to upload the known "construct.xls" file thinking that maybe my own file ( based on template.xls) is producing this error. But even then the same error is reproduced, but now with " sku = 'os28070 '' " which is a product on row 22 within "construct.xls". I looked into ~/DBI.pm line 1129 and that sql syntax is correct to my knowledge. This is the line in DBI.pm : $s->[$DBI]->do("update $s->[$TABLE] SET $column=$value where $s->[$KEY] = $key"); Is this a know problem ? I have looked into the archives and bug list, and this problem is not listed there ... Has some body experianced the same sort of problem uploding his/her products file ?

If you can get me that information (or someone else experiencing > the problem can) then we can get somewhere. A bit more info. This is under Redhat 7.2, IC 4.8.2, with most catalogs including the one I am debugging in using dbm format. Some catalogs are using mysql here and there. It is failing on the 'backup' database each and every time. It seems to always be triggered when using the page editor or the template editor. There is no 'backup' database defined anywhere nor does it exist in the products directory. Also, an interesting note is that before I added this little fix the backup database showed up under admin->info. It showed the source file as having a size of 4096, which is the file size of the backup directory in the catalog. I also took a look at lib/UI/pages/admin/template_edit.html and saw this: <!-- ----- BEGIN REAL STUFF ----- --> [loop search=" fi=backup co=yes sf=sku se=[cgi ui_template] st=db tf=mod_time to=nr rf=code,page_name,mod_time "] My guess is that this and maybe other code snippets somehow tell IC incorrectly that backup is a valid database, and after that it gets cached somewhere and from then on IC thinks backup is a valid database, which would explain why once I trigger this it then happens constantly no matter where I am in the admin until I restart, since it seems there are a couple of places at least where when doing an open or close on a database, IC opens or closes all known databases, and hits this invalid database that causes the error?

Try creating a products/backup.txt with: The problem appears to be that when you reference a database, this time in a loop tag using fi=db, that table gets added to the list of databases IC thinks is valid. dummy_database loops through all of those, and dies when it runs into one that isn't defined.

This allows me to duplicate the problem and it will be fixed straightaway. the easy workaround is to add the backup database in catalog_before.cfg: Database backup backup.txt %% Database backup PRELOAD lib/UI/backup.txt Database backup PRELOAD_EMPTY_ONLY 1 Database backup HIDE_EDIT 1 Then put this file in lib/UI/backup.txt: code %% page_name %% mod_time %% page_text That should solve the problem in the short term.

I originally set the shipping settings through the Wizard and it was fine. But now that I want to change the shipping options, I try to do it directly through the Preferences area, but for some reason, it doesn't "pick up" meaning the checkout doesn't show these new/modified options, but the original one. If I go through the wizard, again, it works. That's fine and dandy, I guess I could go through the wizard, but now, I need to create a new shipping option which doesn't show in the list of wizard shipping options. So, here I am at a loss and a crossroads. Can anyone tell me what's going on and perhaps how to overcome? And yes, I do hit the "Apply Changes" and it still doesnt' work.

Copy.pm contains a 'use 5.005_64' directive at line 10. I've search through the archives for similar problems, I found one suggestion to use the AllowGlobal directive. I tried this by adding the following lines in my interchange.cfg and restarting: #======================================================== #Catalog store /var/lib/interchange/store /cgi-bin/store Catalog foundation /var/lib/interchange/foundation /cgi-bin/foundation /foundation Catalog testcat11 /var/lib/interchange/testcat11 /cgi-bin/testcat11 /testcat11 AllowGlobal testcat11 # <--- Added this line #========================================================================# This had no effect on the problem. I noticed that there was a 'SafeUntrap' directive in the configuration file so I started trying to untrap things, just to try to get it to work. I just went down the list, when I got a particular error from Safe, I "untrapped" it. I tried 'require', then 'caller' then got down to '-d'. I couldn't untrap -d, and since this doesn't seem to be the way to go anyway, I gave up. Is there a recommended workaround for this problem?

I've had some success using earlier versions of Interchange. My DocumentRoot is /home/httpd/html and the default is /var/www/html when makecat runs. I *definitely* specified the correct directory interactively -- I've done this a few times -- and still the makecat script outputs Copying share/ files to /var/www/html.......................done. When I look at /var/www/html, it is apparent that a directory named /var/www/html/interchange is being created by makecat and populated with a bunch of graphics -- and /home/httpd/html/interchange does not exist. I tracked this down because I was getting all broken graphics in the admin interface. mv /var/www/html/interchange /home/httpd/html/ fixes the problem entirely. I hope this information helps and perhaps makes it so the FAQ "broken graphics in admin interface" goes away... If there is a more intelligent place to make these bug reports, please let me know... between this one and the foundation catalog.cfg needing Business::UPS, these are two stupid problems that newbies will run into over and over again if they aren't fixed. -- Bob From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jon Jensen) Date: Fri Nov 16 19:28:00 2001 Subject: [ic] How can we make interchange *NOT* parse a page?

Perl is version 5.005_03, which I believe is the latest. And the DBD and DBI libraries were installed using the -MCPAN parameter only a day ago. `slocate mysql.pm` returned two mysql.pm's that are installed outside of home directories. /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/DBD/mysql.pm The bottom one is 2.1002, the top one is 2.0416. However, the error message says that it is using the one on the bottom. Is there something else that could be going wrong?

Mostly it is set correctly for all tags, though one might argue that [perl ...] should have it set 0 by default. (MVASP is the way to do it if you want that.) There is no reason to use [perl ...] in the original case. By far the best way to ensure you won't get output in a region is: [strip reparse=0] Big blob of stuff. [/strip] This is fast.

What version of PostgreSQL are you running? (Do 'psql --version'.) If it's anything earlier than 7.1, you definitely need to upgrade. Major improvements were made between PostgreSQL 7.0 and 7.1, to say nothing of the improvements since 6.5. Anyway, the most generally useful thing to do is to enable query logging in the PostgreSQL daemon and find out what's taking so much time. To do that, you pass option "-d 2" to the postmaster and send its stdout to a file instead of to /dev/null like most postmaster startup scripts do. Here's how I did it with PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on Red Hat Linux 7.1. Make this patch to /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql: 142c142 < su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null --- > su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o '-d 2' -p /usr/bin/postmaster start > /var/log/pgsql 2>&1" < /dev/null Then do 'tail -f /var/log/pgsql' and watch the output while you visit various pages on your site. You should be able to get an idea of what's taking so much time.

I'm not sure what you mean by "each user occupies maximum server resources". Do you mean that happens at the 99% or in normal "quiet" state?

Login as the super-user "demo" (or on a default 4.8.2 as "interch"), Click on Administration in the dark grey bar and note that as the super-user specified at makecat time, all the database tables are listed at the bottom of the page. Click on Tables in the lighter grey bar and note that all tables are listed. Click on one of them to edit, it should come up. So far, so good. Now, create a new super-user account by clicking on Access in the lighter grey bar, then Create new user. Fill out the form. Click on Apply changes. Log out. Go back to the admin login page. Log in using the new super-user account. If you visit Administration, tables are not listed at the bottom of the main page. Tables brings up an empty list. There are many reports of this problem in the mailing list archives. The suggested solutions -- upgrading software, deleting .gdbm files, among other things -- didn't work for me. Imagine my surprise that the demo site has the same problem! The obvious workaround is to only have "interch" be the super user and just change the password. Not great for security, but it'll work for now. Again, I hate to flog a dead horse here, and I especially hate doing it when I don't have a patch for the problem, but this is a great example of something a newbie might want to do, and obviously newbies have been running into this left and right judging from the archives. If I get sophisticated enough to offer a solution, I'll send it along.

Before you log out, go into the access table for the user you just created and delete the word "NONE" from any field that has it. That will allow the new superuser access to the tables. --J(K) From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jim Balcom) Date: Sat Nov 17 16:41:01 2001 Subject: [ic] shipping question On Sat, 17 Nov 2001, Steven Potter wrote: SP>>I have a question similar to this...

It's a logical mess. What we do is allow an admin user to load a new cart, create a new order that splits the order, maintaining an audit trail. It's way too "manual".

But I am trying to enter a payment directly on a previous balance. I found my problem. I use a gift certificate type of item called "credit", and enter the amount directly in the quantity field. It worked in the basket page but not in the checkout. That's because the quantity field drops the cents in the amount. You have to add a line in catalog.cfg with: FractionalItems Yes. You can also bypass the basket page with a similar command. You ten have to edit the pages to remove unecessary fields. The above is much easier than trying to modify a price on the fly.

I have integrated Paypal on an IC 4.8.2 site. The integration with IC is very clunky, but that is due entirely to my shortcomings, not IC. I'm sure that a full-time developer could make this a more seamless process. What I've done is the following: 1. visit PayPal.com and download their PDF on accepting web payments -- Sorry, I did not keep the link. It will explain what each variable in the code below is used for. 2. Place the following form behind a button in IC. (replace the variables with your info, using the PDF as a reference.) <form action=" https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr " method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="dollsource@aol.com"> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.dollsource.com/thankyou.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity" value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Dollsource.com Shopping Cart"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="[subtotal noformat=1]"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="[shipping noformat=1]"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="handling" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="image_url" value="http://www.dollsource.com/logo-web.gif"> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.dollsource.com/cancel.htm"> <input type="hidden" name=" no_note" value="1"> <input type="image" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but01.gif" name="submit" alt="Click here to pay with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> </form> 3. This is where I stopped short. Rather that try to integrate the Paypal process above with the rest of the IC checkout process, I simply placed the Paypal button on the top of the Receipt.html page with an explanation to "click here" to complete the sale. I then added lots of explanation to the checkout page stating that once they clicked checkout they would then be required to complete the transaction at Paypal. I works fairly smoothly. Most of our customers come to us from ebay auctions, so they are very familiar with paypal. They fill their cart, checkout (which sends the order to the site admin and puts it into IC), then click into PayPal where the payment form is already populated for them via the form above. They then give their paypal account info, or open a new account if needed. Lastly, they are returned to a thankyou page once the paypal transaction is complete. If they bail out before completing the paypal side, they are bounced to our cancel page and informed that the sale is not final. Again there are MANY better ways of doing this I'm sure, this is just one quick solution that worked for this mom&pop site. Hope this helps.

Don't know about the other ones. To get 4.8.2 to work with AuthorizeNet, you need to modify the interchange.cfg file and add the following line to the very bottom of the file - after the last line (at least that's where mine is located): Require module Vend::Payment::AuthorizeNet Also, make sure that you download Net SSLeay or Crypt SSLeay (I'm using Net) from: http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=SSLeay Make sure that you also have MD5 installed from: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MD5 Install one of the SSLeay (either Net or Crypt) and the MD5 according to: http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html OR the way I do it is: tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz cd newlycreatedfilenamedirectory perl Makefile.PL make install In AuthorizeNet, make sure that under Settings, Manage URLs - that no URL exists (I find it easier this way). In ADC Settings: Delimited Response: YES Default Field Separator: ,comma Default Encapsulation Character: None Set an ADC Password and then just set the Require Password for all transactions to NO. Now, note that you can play with these settings and change them - but this just gives you a working example. Set up your company using the Wizard in the Interchange Admin area - under Administration, Wizard, choosing Authorize.Net as your payment gateway, putting in your AuthorizeNet user name, the ADC Password that you set from above, secure.authorize.net as the Authorize.net server, and the URL as something like www.yourdomain.com and then finishing with the Wizard using the Preview (or launch - whichever) feature to save the settings. This should update the Administration, Preferences, Payment section with the AuthorizeNet info. Restart Interchange and it should start using the AuthorizeNet features. :) Justin Keywords: AuthorizeNet, Authorize.Net > -----Original Message----- > From: interchange-users-admin@interchange.redhat.com > [mailto:interchange-users-admin@interchange.redhat.com]On Behalf Of > Korey G. > Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 3:21 PM > To: interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com > Subject: [ic] Authorizenet.pm > > > Hello All > Im trying to install Authorizenet Module > like so > > perl -MCPAN -e 'install Business::OnlinePayment::AuthorizeNet' > > But I get this error message, > > > Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of failed > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------- > t/bop.t 2 512 1 1 100.00% 1 > t/check.t 2 512 1 1 100.00% 1 > t/credit_card.t 2 512 1 1 100.00% 1 > t/load.t 2 512 1 1 100.00% 1 > Failed 4/4 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 4/4 subtests failed, 0.00% okay. > make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2 > /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK > Running make install > make test had returned bad status, won't install without force > > Can some one help > > -Thanks > > _______________________________________________ > interchange-users mailing list > interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com > http://interchange.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Justin Bonds) Date: Mon Nov 19 00:14:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Authorizenet.pm Just a Note: When I say "In AuthorizeNet, make sure that under . . ." - I mean the settings located on their web site at: https://secure.authorize.net/ :) Justin > > Korey G wrote: > > > Hello All > > Im trying to install Authorizenet Module > > like so > > > > perl -MCPAN -e 'install Business::OnlinePayment::AuthorizeNet' > > You shouldn't need to download the AuthorizeNet module if you're using > Interchange 4.8.2 - the core download for Red Hat 7.x - that is. > Don't know > about the other ones. > > To get 4.8.2 to work with AuthorizeNet, you need to modify the > interchange.cfg file and add the following line to the very bottom of the > file - after the last line (at least that's where mine is located): > > Require module Vend::Payment::AuthorizeNet > > Also, make sure that you download Net SSLeay or Crypt SSLeay (I'm > using Net) > from: > http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=SSLeay > > Make sure that you also have MD5 installed from: > http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MD5 > > Install one of the SSLeay (either Net or Crypt) and the MD5 according to: > > http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html > > OR the way I do it is: > > tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz > cd newlycreatedfilenamedirectory > perl Makefile.PL > make install > > In AuthorizeNet, make sure that under Settings, Manage URLs - that no URL > exists (I find it easier this way).

But on being accessed by only 3-4 users , the system becomes slow and the CPU usage clocks 99% usage. The catalogs built for each user occupies maximum server resources." Have you done a TOP to see what is occupying the processor? Sounds like you have something funky. Our system sits idle most of the time unless it is being hit, at which point you may see it drop to 95% CPU Usage. What makes you think that it is Interchange or PGSQL that is causing the problem? I have run every flavor of PGSQL that has been mentioned on some of our robust 133 MHz PII development servers, and they like our production machines.....always have plenty of CPU power to go around. Based on my experience with Interchange and PGSQL, I think that you may have something else going on.

Hi , I'm running RedHat Linux 7.2 2.4.9-13, MySQLVer 11.15 Distrib 3.23.41, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386), IC V4.8.2, used the Redhat RPM's for install and the CPAN modules. Install went fine, no errors or dependency issues. After some days of work I'm not able to convince IC to upload my products.xls file. I do this through the wizard, which tells me after the upload that it was succesfull ..... not really :-( The Items list remains empty. I have used also the tarball before, but this has the same effect, no items are really uploaded in spite of IC wizard seas they are ? Then I installed the demo catalog "foundation-demo" , which went ok, I can see that the store is populated. Then deleted the "foundation-demo " items/catagories so i could trie to upload my products.xls file afterwards...... but still nothing to see despite of IC telling me again that it went fine. The products.xls file is populated correctly as it should with the required feelds (columns). I've searched the IC users archive for this problem , and found one problem ( similar to the one I have, but this person ( George Entenman, date: 11-02-2001) gets an error message like : FATAL error DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'where sku = 'os28070'' at line 1 at /interchange/lib/Vend/Table/DBI.pm line 1129, chunk 21.

See www.intos.de and search for "CPU" in the left menu (in the input field under the text "SUCHE / ART.NR". The button for the search is "SUCHE STARTEN"). After the results page is showing on in the main frame, you can swith the price between EURO and DM or switch the "image on / image off" (Bilder zeigen/ Bilder aus) and you get the same results page with another current price format or with item images. You can choose the locale for the price and the mode of the image displaying (on/off) in that and all other pages. ciao Joachim -- Hans-Joachim Leidinger | Dipl.-Phys.Ing.

Perhaps you have some form of payment other than credit card which the "seedy characters" are using to avoid inputting a valid card number.

It's a mySql database. I know it's not permissions on the mySql database, because I can insert into the database using the [query sql="INSERT INTO Tkt SET customerName='[value customerName]', timeTkt='[value timeTkt ]';"] command. I can also see that Interchange is not even trying to connect into the mySql database, I have logging turned on and can see all requests on the database, and nothing. The only problem that I have with the [query sql="INSERT INTO (etc) ] command, is getting the single quotes escaped out before it is written to the database. So, I was trying to use the mv_data_function commands instead. Any ideas??

I'd bet you can ignore it and proceed. That would be for cross server catalogs, say ssl on one machine and the catalog on another. If you are running it all on one machine, you won't need inetmode.

Any >ideas?? I'm not sure I understand that. You can use filters on form inputs and on 'memory' values, so in either case it seems you should be able to condition the data as needed - read up on the [filter] tag and form-based filters. If you want to use a form to directly write to the SQL table, use the [counter] tag to generate a unique key number, instead of the auto_increment field type. - Ed L. >Thanks, >Dorothy > >Ed LaFrance wrote: > > > At 03:33 PM 11/19/2001 -0800, you wrote: > > >I have gone over the mailing lists and the docs on how to insert into a > > >table with a form.

I'd charge them for >every item and ship them all their crap! They wouldn't do it again! The problem being that only works if you have automatic processing. I think the scenario here is that the order is emailed to the store owner for the credit card to be processed. They have - of course - put in a bad credit card, but one which would pass an AVS check. During the time it takes for the merchant to realize this and get rid of the order, the damage has been done and the items have been unavailable on the site the entire time. I also think the solution of blocking their traffic could become difficult, as they can just switch which machine they are doing it from. Getting a lawyer involved sounds like the only way.

Zepeda) Date: Tue Nov 20 17:01:01 2001 Subject: [ic] SQL database on another server, Still having wizard problems Hi Folks, So I have a MySQL database installation on another computer from the one that I'm running Interchange on. When I run makecat, I expected to put the -h 'host_with_mysql' option in there so that I can specify the host on which the MySQL installation is located. It appears that the 'Extra options' for the mysqladmin program are not parsed correctly, so the '-h host_with_mysql' gets lost. I've worked around this by hardcoding the -h option into the precopy_commands file but I'd like to make a more intelligent fix for this so I can submit it to the list. My question is, am I barking up the right tree? Should I try to fix this and if so, where is the best place to post the fix? On another front, I'm still having problems using the foundation store wizard. I previously posted this problem, but no-one answered. Basically, the problem is that when I try to 'Finish' the wizard at the preview screen, I get this error: x.x.x.x W6nSMFaD:dzepeda dzepeda [19/November/2001:17:41:31 -0600] testcat13 /cgi-bin/testcat13/ui Safe: require trapped by operation mask at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/File/Copy.pm line 10. Line 10 of Copy.pm is: use 5.005_64; If I comment this out, it just fails in another use statement. I've tried several workarounds that I found in the mail list archives for similar problems with no success. I've tried updating my interchange installation with the lastest from the stable branch of the CVS repository, still with no success. I don't really want to try the development branch because I want a stable installation of Interchange. I originally installed interchange from the RPMs found on the download area of the interchange site: interchange-4.8.2-1.noarch.rpm interchange-foundation-4.8.2-1.noarch.rpm interchange-foundation-demo-4.8.2-1.i386.rpm Then as I said, upgraded that with what was in the CVS repository yesterday. I'm running RedHat Linux 7.0, with Perl upgraded to 5.6.1 from the tarball available on CPAN installed in /usr/local. I'm pretty much at a loss now where to go from here. Can it be possible I'm the only one having this problem? If so, where do I start trying to track it down?

I still have not been able to get the mv_function_data fields to work. But, since my real problem was the single quotes in my form fileds, the fix was setting a filter. This is what I did that worked: On my form I had all the normal form fileds with my next page doing all the work <FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST NAME="main"> <input type=hidden name=mv_session_id value="[data session id]"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=return> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="serviceticket-sent.html"> Here's the Next page: [query sql="INSERT INTO Tkt SET RequestDetails='[value name=RequestDetails filter=sql]',customerName='[value customerName]', submittedBy='[value submittedBy]', timeTkt='[value timeTkt]';"] The "filter=sql" within the value tag was the answer.

I don't pass it the port because I use the default port. I know this works 'cause I've got one that working that I just edited the config file for, that uses a DSN line exactly as shown (with the correct hostname of course).

Let me know if there is a preferred way to post fixes like this, or if there is a preferred place to post these fixes. Actually, this only fixes part of the problem. As it stands now the user that is specified as the SQLUSER and the password specified as SQLPASS are also used in the mysqladmin command. It seems to me that this is not optimal, because the user may wish to specify a username/password combination for the creation phase, and another username/password combination for the regular user of the database. I'm not sure which is better, I don't have time tonight to delve any further, and I wanted these fixes posted, so I'll leave it at this. I still have the wizard problem I mentioned in the original post, I'm willing to dig around like I did for this problem, but I really don't know where to start.

I am trying to add some extra price fields to the products database, for locale baseds pricing, and am having dificulty deciphering exatly what is required to do this. I am just starting to enter products so there is no data to worry about. I was wondering if someone could give a point list of the steps required to do this? Names for extra price fields will just be <country code_price> i.e. NZ_price, US_price etc. I think the doco needs some point based lists on how to do things, i.e. (this is very made up ;) 1. Modify product.pgsql, add new fields. 2. run something to update db 3. import ascii file with records I'm sure such a structure would help lots of new people, at least they would know what they need to lookup to get a step done ... finding it in the doco is a different thing though ;) Has there been any though given to using a searchable format for the doco, like pdf etc? I think that would also be useful, as HTML is nasty to search through, and a pain to d/l if you don't have the doco locally.

Each option is just another item. This actually might be "modular options" but since its not working, simple options are good enough. I just need a way to update the price of the options. The way I imagine it is to add another column to the options, where i define OPTION=SKU, then a cron job updates the price column in options with the price of the item. This will only work if the code of the option is among a certain group and its a simple option. Example: o_value | price | new_column ---------------------------- A=Part1,| B=250 | B=SKU230 B=Part2 | | price gets updated once a day with the price of the SKU, in this case "SKU230". In the example, only option B gets a price update. Before I start coding this, I wonder if someone has done something similar.

My recommendation would be to consult the Perl documentation on how to download and install modules. "Rightgrade" to Perl 5.6.1 if you haven't done so already. If you don't know how to do this, and aren't willing to learn, I'd strongly suggest NOT using Interchange. 2) Could someone PLEASE write up a beginners installation document for Interchange? There will ALWAYS be newbies trying to pick up Interchange, and there will ALWAYS be questions which are really more sysadmin type questions than "real" Interchange questions. If a document existed which covered these questions, we could just RTFM and move on. Seriously, folks, the signal to noise ratio on this list seems to be totally going to hell. I also suspect that if someone sat down with a vanilla RedHat installation and documented everything they needed to do to get Interchange running, they'd be surprised at how hard it really is... It's hard! There are lots of steps, and someone who doesn't really know system administration will have some real issues getting it to run without some good instructions. Someone who knew Interchange really well doing a vanilla install might also find some of these errors / bugs that folks have been reporting. I don't think it's reasonable to say that folks without the right expertise shouldn't be trying to run Interchange. They'll try, it won't work, and they'll come here for help. That's what has been happening, and will continue to happen. As far as Perl is concerned, the doc should probably explain how to use the interactive CPAN shell, have a list of required modules, and an example of an error message that Interchange throws when a module is missing. Probably also good to recommend a specific Perl version i.e. minimum 5.6.0 best to be running the latest and greatest. -- Bob From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Fajar Handika) Date: Wed Nov 21 12:37:01 2001 Subject: [ic] HTML/Tagset.pm I'm trying to install interchange on my home PC, which isn't connected to the internet all the time for simulation purpose.

All kidding aside, it probably hasn't been done because busy folks haven't had time to do it and Mike, and crew, can't do it all. There was an excellent piece of work contributed this year by Dan Browning on the How To for CVS and Interchange. Perhaps he can be encouraged to consider this too, but as I mentioned, most of us using MV and IC are busy supporting and deploying sites.

As to the original problem. Check the permissions for the SQL::Statement, try this (assuming that interch is the user that interchange runs as) # perl -e 'use SQL::Statement' # su - interch $ perl -e 'use SQL::Statement' If as root it works but interch it doesn't, probably a permission problem, if both fail, the module is installed incorrectly.

I received some notes per PM. So here a short info. The example uses a scratch shop_id (I have multiple product data sets with different properties in the same table). If you want to play with it you will need to remove the references to shop_id. I put it here for two reasons: first, I'm tired now after a hard day and won't risk to remove to much code :) and second example code is better when longer :) oki. This is based on foundation demo shop. On the pages there is a menu box (one click searches). The code is in templates/compnents/category_vertical. I changed it to fetch it not via [loop] but [query]. This example shows how to cascade query, which is very powerful: [comment] "Outer" query lists areas taht are defined in our shop_id "Inner" query processes each area and fetches the categories of that area. The menu_link function formats that link in a way that it works with the embedded java menu. This code is originally in a VALUE="..." attribute. [/comment] [query prefix=box type="list" list_prefix="boxlist" sql="select distinct on (area.sort, area.code) area.code from area, cat where area.sel='[control set_selector left]' and area.code = cat.sel and cat.shop_id = [scratch shop_id] order by area.sort "] [boxlist]{[box-exec bar_link]area[/box-exec]} [set found_cat]1[/set] [query prefix=cat list_prefix="catlist" type="list" sql="select code, name from cat where sel='[box-code]' order by sort" ] [catlist]{|[cat-exec menu_link]cat[/cat-exec]}[/catlist] [/query] [/boxlist] [/query] That's it :) The SQL search is slightly more to do. First, we need a search box - basically a text input field. Of course it's possible to add features like scan supports, but here it has no properties, it just searches a string in multiple fields. The code for the search box is trivial (put it i.e. in search_box_small component): <form action="[area search-catalog]" method=post> <input type=hidden name=mv_session_id value="[data session id]"> <table border="0" width="95%"> <tr> <td align="left"> <INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME=search_word type=text size=8> </td> <td align="right" valign="middle" width="45"> <input type="image" alt="Search Go" width="45" border="0" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__go.gif"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> IC generates the right URL for us with the area tag. All logic is done by IC, nice :) We need only to pass the session id in a hidden field and of course our text field. I called it search_word. Of course we now need a page search-catalog.html. We do need to put it into the pages directory and it will work. The page is very similar to the results.html page, but instead of [item-code] or item-whatever we need to use [sql-code] or sql-whatever. AFAIK the most names are really the same, so I did it by global substitution (vim :%s/item-/sql-/gc). The [search-region] tag has to be replaced with the query tag: [query sql=" select sku, description, price from products where shop_id = [scratch shop_id] and ( lower(description) like lower('%[cgi search_word]%') or lower(title) like lower('%[cgi search_word]%') or lower(comment) like lower('%[cgi search_word]%') ) order by category" type=list more=1 ml=10] The "lower()" construction is for case-insensitve matches, surely there are better solutions for that. Instead of [search-list] use [list]. Well, that query allows [on-match] like search-region, instead of item-change it's now sql-change and so on. Well, you could use prefix_list="search-list" and prefix="item" which may make the tag names behaive like the ones from search-region, but I haven't tested it. Well, since the whole gzip'd file is smaller than this text, I'll attach it (I hope it wouldn't hurt the list policy). I'm sorry that the text is german (had no time for locale :)), but since you should have the results.html you should understand it completly. Hope it helps a little.

Calling su without the first dash doesn't transfer the current environment to the shell running the command, while leaving the dash off does. The error /root/.bashrc: permission denied is caused because the interchange start script su's into interch, which can't read root's bashrc.

This is a waste of bandwidth. Obviously there needs to be more documentation, but adding to the noise calling for the documentation isn't going to help. Don't you think we all know that there needs to be a FAQ? Why don't you spend bandwidth contributing one instead of complaining about it. It takes less time on your part to ignore newbie questions, 'press delete' instead of complaining about the S/N ratio. > I don't think it's reasonable to say that folks without the right > expertise shouldn't be trying to run Interchange.

I've verified that $gw is set correctly to "AuthorizeNet" and printed out various variables in this routine and believe that its not recognizing the fact that AuthorizeNet.pm is installed.

I am looking for a good merchant account. I GH>>will only be processing between $500 and $1000 a month to start out. The general trend at the moment is that getting a merchant account is quite easy. Various companies are falling all over themselves to sign people up. I get almost as many telemarketers for merchant accounts as I get telemarketers for long distance service and health plans. There are numerous 'front end' companies signing people up, and they all process through a very few 'back end' companies. Echo and First Data are 2 back end companies. Both are quite good, but I prefer First Data. Your projected volume is reasonably decent. Don't be embarassed by it. Look for a low discount rate. I am presently at 1.75%, but I have been told that it is ridiculously low. But, I don't complain! Anything under 3% is very good! Look for someone that is offering to set you up for a little, or no,. set up fee. If you are going to have an on-site terminal, count on spending around $500 (or thereabouts) to buy the terminal. You can usually lease them also. If you are not going to use a gateway that is built into IC, you can get PC software for around $500 - such as ICVerify (CyberCash) etc. Avoid companies with high front end fees (disguised as application fees, installation fees, etc) Once you have things set up for Visa and MasterCard, getting Discover and Diner's Club is a piece of cake, just pay their initiation fees. American Express is generally easy to get, but they don't have proccessors for the back end, but rely on the processors for Visa and Mastercard. Or, the last time I checked, I have to have a Visa/Mastercard Merchant account to process American Express. That may have changed. Don't be ashamed of your volume.

But, one of the neat things is that those questions (and answers) get put in the archives and the FAQ's. We constantly tell people to go look in the archives before asking questions.

I haven't looked at 4.8, but when I installed 4.6 this sort of thing was made very clear and, in fact, it refused to install with less than the correct version. It then went on and installed a better version before we were done. I expect no less of 4.8. I don't agree with your feelings, Bob... A newbie comes along, he asks questions and he finds that he is in over his head and he moves on to something easier. Or, he accepts the difficulty as a challenge, something that he must conquer in order to move on and persists. Along the way he learns things, and as he learns he starts helping other people that are trying to learn what he has learned, and he helps them. In watching this list for nearly a year, I'm seeing that only Mike Heins has all of the answers! :-) I'm seeing a lot of old pro's heling out the newbies, but they are also posting requests for help.

How many Storables do you have? Look through your @INC. I'll bet you have more than one. That's just a guess and may or may not solve your problem. From the way the thread developed, it sure looks to me like your problem is systems administration and organizational. You've clearly got a crufty system. If you are using a distribution, like SUSE, stick with it; use their perl modules too wherever possible.

I'm in the process of setting up a store and it's proving a lot more complicated than I'd thought. The store is for a non-profit organization that runs a real-life store. In addition to selling products from the store, they want to sell tickets and memberships, at various levels, through IC. Problems I'm looking for help solving include: 1. Special pricing for members of the organization. 2. Shipping that is based on total purchase of merchandise, not tickets and memberships. 3. The ability for users to request gift wrapping (at an additional charge) for any non-ticket / membership item. 4. Order routing that will send the products, tickets and memberships to different people. 5. The proper use of product options. 6. Making sure that tickets / donations / products appear on different search results form and fly pages. 7. The ability to ask additional questions on donation forms and have that info be included as part of the order. If you can help with this, please e-mail me off the list.

That is definitely not the same, you need Safe::Hole for DBI stuff et al and it is an extension to Safe, so plain safe is working even if Safe::Hole is not installed.

AFAIK (and this is not much) the foundation demo uses quantity pricing for dealers. So adding q1... wouldn't change anything for "ordinary" users. > I would like to show the Manufacturer's suggested list price, > and my quantity discount prices in the fly-page. I have > determined how to show the discounts on the fly-page, but did > not attempt the q1 yet. I would recommend (which may be complete non-sense) to add a field to the database called "sugg_price" and print it out just for information. Since you use a DMBS, you can use some SQL query to add that field on the run without any problems (please note, if you don't set NoImport your database tables may be dropped and recreated if you change the .txt files!). After that, you need to change the pages. To add the value of sugg_price, you could use: ..... <td align="left"> Price: <b>[item-price]<b> </td> <td align="left"> <I>(suggested Price: [item-price])</I> </td> ..... Without the fear that this new field will change anything as side effect. > I would like the product price to be the "list" price, and q1 > our standard q1 sale price. - any suggestion appreciated. You can implement that but AFAIK the foundation demo handles it not in this way. > <> btw: > I am considering buying the full set of documentation on 4.8.2 to help > support the IC cause - are these a manuals helplfull? Documentation is always helpful :) And buying it should help the development so it may be a good idea.

We don't use that kind of search any more so I can't give you any code. What we **used to do** was maintain separate fields, pre-massaging the database on import, so that a category like "SCSI-III (U2W/160) asdf%:\+..@" would map to something safe, typically something like this: sub Squash { my($s); $s=$_[0]; $s=~tr /A-Za-z0-9+-/_/cs; # if you need case sensitive $s=~s/_+$//; $s=~s/^_+//; return $s; } Now we map all our categories to integers. :-) cfm -- Christopher F.

I've no clue, what you are talking about! I use the above search url via LWP::UserAgent in my perl script to call a IC page to search for a group "SCSI Kabel" and to search for a subgroup "SCSI-III (U2W/160) LVD Kabel" and store it as a HTML file. After that, I build all that files as an one PDF file via the program "htmldoc". All other groups has the right contents in the one PDF file. But this group is empty in the PDF Files. Looking intos the creating/storing html files of the empty group (SCSI Kabel) show me, it is emtpy and the whole empty html file is wrong. There are a lot of wrong missing start html tags and end html tags. Something is breaking any IC tag for parsing or so. I've 233 PDF files and 9 of this files of the subgroup "...(U2W)...Kabel" or "...(V)..." are empty. But there are a lot of another groups and subgroups with "..(..).." and all that files are right ind HTML and PDF too! I need more information for the stupid old german boy with bad mental capability of english language, to understand the error message from IC so, that I'm able to solve the problem. If you are so kind to explain me the meaning of the error message, I will be very glad about your help, information or suggestions. Thank you very much and please .... stay on this threat!

The store will add up the weights that you have specified in the products.txt file. If someone buys a widget that weighs 6 pounds and a gadget that weighs 4 pounds it now knows that the total order weight is 10 pounds. (Make sure that your shipping weights in there are correct.) Then, you need to set your shipping method in shipping.asc to deal with this total weight.

Not that you want that either! My suggest is that you use another category string, "SCSI_III_U2W_160_LVD_Kabel" is what Squash sub would produce. That doesn't even have to be encoded. If you can get IC to do this search and copy the URL to your LWP that might do the trick.

Yeah, just what kind of shipping is this? Or are you using shipping to fudge something else? What if they have three products, one at 6 and two at 4? Do you want 6? What do you mean "shipping charge will be 6$"? Sounds like you are confused about how shipping works and need to review docs. That being noted, you can still do it with usertag or perl in shipping table. -- Christopher F.

I always use a complete field list after seeing performance degradation and problems when creating stored procedures in MS SQL Server when using the '*' for a field list (this was not on an IC project). The MS engine compiles the stored procedure for quicker execution and in some cases the * caused problems in 6.5.

Look in the docs for named subroutines in shipping.asc, in the sections on shipping. It's not even obvious to me that you can do this directly with only the shipping table, because I'd bet that only gets basket totals. (no I did not check) Perhaps a usertag that went into each page to iterate the basket, selected the maximum item, and set a value. Then THAT value was used in your subroutine in shipping. -- Christopher F.

You can make a page for that. Use i.e. <form action="[area detail]" method=post> <input type=hidden name=mv_session_id value="[data session id]"> <input type=hidden name=detail_sku value="[item-code]"> <input type="image" alt="Details" width="45" border="0" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__details.gif"> </from> This will open a page called detail.html in the pages directory and pass the detail_sku parameter, which can be used by a loop, scan, query or whatever. I think foundation built the details with a scan, too. It's a scan by sku which will return exactly one match.

First of all, in 'shipping.asc' are the shipping methods, and the formulas. These refer to rate tables that you get, or build, for the shipping methods that you want. Some tables are included with the demo and you can build from there. What's in the demo does work, although the rates may be inaccurate, and may not work well for other countries. In the early summer, late June or early July, I posted a lengthy tutorial about adding shipping methods. You can find that in the mail archives. The docs that come with Interchange also have a lot of information on the shipping configuration in the doc on databases.

OK, apparently you are French and we are having a bit of a problem with languages. I'm getting a different vibration from you now. I think that I am hearing --- It doesn't matter how many items are in the cart, or how much any of them weigh, shipping will be charged ONLY for the heaviest item. Or, a customer can buy 1,000 items that weigh 5 pounds each, and 1 item that weighs 6 pounds. The shipping cost will be calculated on a 6 pound package and the other 5,000 pounds will go for free shipping? Is this correct? You can find the routine that adds up all of the shipping weights (without looking, I think that it's in checkout.html) and instead of adding each one into a total, do a compare on each item as you cycle through the shopping cart and see if it's heavier than the previous item. If it is, that becomes the new shipping weight. If it's not heavier, then that weight is ignored. If I have misunderstood, I suggest that you post your question in your native language and perhaps someone on the list will translate it for us so that we can have another go at it. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Sunday, November 25, 2001 at 08:05 AM: He who dies with the most toys... is *still* DEAD! ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 11 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com) Date: Sun Nov 25 12:09:35 2001 Subject: [ic] Shipping on max weight ? >On Sun, 25 Nov 2001 jv6b@meloo.com wrote: > >>>Ok thanks i'll try. >>>In fact my calculation will be simple >>>weight = max product weight in the cart. >>> >>>But the "max" isn't to definied with akopia. > >>>Ce mel a été envoyé avec Meloo http://www.meloo.com >>>Info Meloo : L'Echo du Village est en kiosque : Exprimez vous grâce aux outils gratuits d'Internet ! > >OK, apparently you are French and we are having a bit of a problem with >languages. > >I'm getting a different vibration from you now. > >I think that I am hearing --- > >It doesn't matter how many items are in the cart, or how much any of them >weigh, shipping will be charged ONLY for the heaviest item. > >Or, a customer can buy 1,000 items that weigh 5 pounds each, and 1 item that >weighs 6 pounds.

Using IC 4.8.1. The catalog is run through a hosting company. I think I am the only customer they have who uses IC, but it's all I can afford for development phase. Everything worked fine until two things were updated. 1) The document root changed. I asked them to setup a URL rewrite, but I think they might have simply changed my DocumentRoot to the link program, i.e. /cgi-bin/cart.cgi/, so that all requested files pass through IC. 2) I was changed to a static IP. I'm not sure which of the two (if it was) caused the problem. First, and most apparent, the UI images were broken. This happens any time they do anything for me, because their update scripts are broken I think. In any case, I changed the UI Images variable, but the fix wouldn't be final till I restarted (which I don't have access to do) or did "apply changes". Then I noticed a problem. I was getting lots of "maybe you need to log in" and "no permission for page". When I first opened the UI login, it would first send a cookie for the session ID, then re-assign it immediately (different number). When I would log in, it would re-assign the cookie over and over. As it turns out, more-or-less one time for each of the missing images! So the final cookie was not the same one I had logged in under. So after several hours of searching and trying different things (checking sessions settings, file perms, etc) and experimenting with cookies I realized that I could simply accept the first cookie, then refuse all others, and the site would function, more-or-less. So, before I went to ask the oh-knowledgeable IC list, I did the long-delayed apply changes. When I did so, the images came back. Then as I started to compose my message, I cleared cookies, set it to prompt, and logged in again. To my surprise, the problem had disappeared, the cookie was assigned properly, and the site functioned perfectly.

Many thanks to everyone who replied. The problem turned out to be unrelated to Interchange and CyberCash. My upstream installed the latest Squid cache over the holiday weekend, and for some reason this breaks CyberCash's card processing forms. I'm guessing that Squid must have been re-writing the encrypted data and CC's server flipped out, hence the error 400 I was getting. For the record, they upgraded Squid to 2.4Stable2 from 2.3Stable4. I figured I'd make sure all the important info made it into the archives on the off chance someone else gets bit by this bug. Thanks again everyone! I'm finally off to a well deserved nap...

So the final cookie > was not the same one I had logged in under. There is nothing wrong with running every through IC. We run a couple of catalogs like that. It's not the static IP per se. You are getting a new session with every request. That **might** happen if you are getting a re-written url. There can be other causes too, make sure you shut down your browser(s), blow away the session database/files and see if it still happens. > > So after several hours of searching and trying different things (checking > sessions settings, file perms, etc) and experimenting with cookies I > realized that I could simply accept the first cookie, then refuse all > others, and the site would function, more-or-less. > > So, before I went to ask the oh-knowledgeable IC list, I did the > long-delayed apply changes.

Since the images are passed through IC, the problem (whatever it was) caused each image request to be seen as a new session.

Yes, you can download the MCK only after you fill out CyberCash's license agreement. (Although I think at one point someone was hosting just the .pm files over on homestead.com... Try searching the archives for homestead and cybercash) >2. The only reference to CyberCash I can find in IC is >Route cybercash configfile "__CYBER_CONFIGFILE__" > >in the catalog.cfg. Where'd I miss the spec for this file? This config file is created when you install the MCK. You just give IC the path to it, and install the pm files in your libdir, and off it goes. At one point, you could signup for a free test account with CyberCash, although I'm not sure if they are still doing this now that Verisign has bought them.

I see it and I see my error, why I can't see the clone button. I'm using IC 4.6.1 and this version has not that clone button. Looking into the UI section of IC 4.8.1, I see the codes for the cloning items. Can I copy and paste that part of codes from item-edit.html into my own item-edit.html file or should I update IC 4.6.1 to 4.8.2? Another problem is, I've defined an admin user, who can change something in the Items area, but this user is not allowed to see and change some fields. I have to fields "GID" (the group id) and "SN" (the serial number). Both fields is very important for the layout of the IC pages.

This part ------- snip ---------- se=SCSI%20III%20(UW%20&%20U2W)%20Festplattenwechselrahmen ------- snip ---------- is coming from the apache log.

Don't do this. The culprit in this case is probably the & which isn't escaped (LWP::UserAgent couldn't know about this). Use the POST method instead of GET and escape the parameters manually.

The method you are using will work fine IF you are searching on a field that does not need escaping. code price description category squash foo bar gletc 1111 99.99 asdfasdf SCSI-III (U2W SCSI_III_U2W asd as asdf And use squash in your query instead of the category. Create squash column when you upload data. (Note this is not much less work than just escaping it right; it's for human convenience mostly.) Alternatively, create a table of contents page listing your catalogs, wget that and strip out the urls. Use those. Sorry, no examples; we don't use either method any more, but map mv_arg to a category number, so categories look like VLINK?mv_arg=20222 or some such.

Yes! I know! But I'm in a muddle, because se=SCSI%20III%20%28UW%20%26%20U2W%29%20Festplattenwechselrahmen se=SCSI%20III%20%28UW%20 se=SCSI%20III%20%28 can't find the items.

It is very strange for me, that IC is able to handle %20 right, but not with %28 or %26. Why? 9 of ~233 subgroups is empty! :-(( Any ideas? Thanks! Joachim -- Hans-Joachim Leidinger | Dipl.-Phys.Ing.

This is what you would use to process credit cards. Depending on the state you live in and the bank you deal with, there are all sorts of policies regarding what this will cost and how much up front and the like. If this ends up being too restrictive, you may want to check the thread about PayPal integration.

Have all the similar items use the same flypage, and use item list to build the varations there. So you might show one generic item with descriptions, and then a list of sizes/colors/whatever with your order links.

I've change the contents of the fields, who has "(", ")" and "&" so, that I don't need such characters and I get the whole PDF Pages filled with items right. It was easier than creating a new field like "squash" at the moment, because I've no times to do that.

If you are going to accept credit cards for your services, you are going to have to have a terminal, of some sort. Unless you are 'piggy-backing' on someone elses merchant account and they are doing the data entering for you. This is either a terminal that you can swipe cards through, or it is software that runs on your PC, or the required 'hooks' to use a gateway. This last spring I paid $500 for CyberCash, software that runs on my PC. Last fall I paid $375 for a terminal that prints. I'm told that I got a good deal. My buddy got set up to take charge cards through some on-=line company and the customers saw that on-line company name on their statements, instead of his. That company went out of business, and he had to go about finding a replacement. The credit card industry is lucrative, and it's not just the card holders that have to foot the bill. Perhaps there is a way that you can get set up to accept credit cards without paying out money. If there is I am not familiar with it. If there is, watch out for the "I Gotcha's" -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Monday, November 26, 2001 at 20:15 PM: Hell Hath No Pizza. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 29 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jim Balcom) Date: Mon Nov 26 20:36:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Credit Card Processing (Was: "newbie" documentation) On Mon, 26 Nov 2001, Eric Paul wrote: EP>>You are going to need to talk with your bank about setting you up with a EP>>Merchant Account.

Look back in old minivend tarballs. There are examples there. Are you sure they are not in current distributions? basket -> checkout -> shipping -> billing -> cc -> final -> receipt kind of thing.

I wouldn't need all the options since I only wanted to use it's engine as a catalog-database system and give the owners the possibility of easily adjust their catalog and product options, and to let them gain a database of registered users for offline promotion. I'm not interested in internet-selling stuff, just showing products in an easy and organised way, with personal comments, search possibility,... What are your thoughts on this? Would it be very difficult to adjust the admin to only show a few of the available options?

If I click on the refresh button on the page it adds the salestax as it is supposed to and this only happens when the page is first loaded. This is a slight problem, if the page is never Refreshed then it looks like they are not being charged salestax, but of course when the order is inserted into the database salestax has been added making the Total price that the customer sees when they choose to enter their credit card details different to the amount actually in the database ;-) Anyones input for a fix to this would me most appreciated.

(ideally for this first project all I need is q3, 1-2 is the retail price, and 3 and over is the discounted price.) I have read in the Interchange manuals (the bought books) but the section on quantity pricing is very very vague. It does not give me a whole lot of information besides that I need to use commonAdjust in my catalog.cfg Here is a snippet from my catalog.cfg. Does anyone see anything wrong with this code. ## Set this if you have a different secure server #AlwaysSecure order ord/checkout ord/basket login change_password process PriceField 0 CommonAdjust pricing:q2,q5,q10,q25, ;products:price, ==size:pricing :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==:options EncryptKey __PGP_KEY__ # This prevents a user from setting this value, you may want to unset # this if you have user-selectable handling charges like insurance This looks right to me, but I do not see any changes when I add items to the cart. * When changing the quantity pricing in through the admin, do you NEED a discount group? From the way I read the instructions that is if you want to group items so you can have 2 of one, and 2 of another and receive a discount for that group. I do not want that in this case.

I have learned alot the last few weeks but with my experience it is slow going. One problem I am currently having is with changing the SKU reference in a given SKU loop. What I have done is in products.txt I have created my items. Most of the items are for download after sale. For example item mm00003 is a high resolution image and respective fields. Now, there is also an item mm00003_web which is the same image as the previous but lower resolution and maybe smaller size. I felt I needed to create TWO seperate entrys like this for every occurance of a hi rez and low rez image because That is the only way I could get the respective file "hi rez or low rez" to become available after purchase. However Note: I have made only one of the entries "available" to the search results page, so I won't have redundant results. Now for the problem- In my search results it finds and displays the info for the mm00003. I have place a link, and size information to a flypage for that file also in the search results. I have also been able to add a link to the low rez mm00003_web fly page next to it by using: <a href="[area [item-code]_web]">[item-code]_web</a> This works great. Now I want to display the size field for mm00003_web next to the link. The current reference would in this instance be mm00003. How can I change reference in the results of mm00003 to mm00003_web. I guess what I want to know is can I in [item-field size], add a suffix to "item-code". I know this is wrong but here are some examples of what I am going for, to better explain my goal- [[item-code]_web-field size] or maybe [[[item-code]_web]-field size] I am sorry if I have made no sense here. I am little fustrated wit this problem. BTW- beside the interchange site and the .pdf's, is there any other books or support out there? I have searched but have come up with practically nothing. If someone lives in the Pasadena area of Southern California and wants to make some extra money, I would be happy to pay for a little tutoring.

This works great when searching/sorting on all the products, but when I've narrowed down that search list, I still want them to be able to sort the columns just based off of the results of their search. What's happening now, is that they end up sorting on the all the products again. How to I get the value of their previous search? For example if their search resulted in a URL showing: scan/fi=Tkt/st=db/sf=customerName/se=Adara How do I get the value of that URL??

Yeah, and the answer is: don't try. Store your dates as YYYYMMDD, and use the [convert_date] tag to rearrange the digits for display in your search results.

There is a field in the Layout editor called 'Link Template' where you can specify how the link will be displayed. In fact the link template can actually be set in a number of ways: Order is: 1) If there is text between the [loop-exec bar_link] and [/loop-exec] this is used. 2) if not, if there is a Link template for the Area or Cat entry this is used. 3) if not, if there is a variable called BAR_LINK_TEMPLATE this is used. 4) if not, the default is '<A HREF="$URL$" CLASS="barlink">$ANCHOR$</A>' As you can see, yet another powerful feature of ic. :-) In your case, number 1 may be the easiest. I prefer it as I don't have to enter the template in each cat and area entry in the Layout Editor, also, I don't want the store owner to have to mess with it. Have fun, Jonathan Webmaint.

When they buy 2 they are 10.00 each. 5 or more, and they are 5.00 each 'mno' doesn't get discounted until they buy 5 'xyz' presents an 'I Gotcha!' The price for 1 (in products.txt) is $5.00 When you buy less than 10 you will pay 5.00 each. If you buy 10 to 25, you will pay $1.00 each. If you buy 25 to infinity, you will pay $5.00 each.

Of course, google and any worthwhile search engines don't care. But you are probably looking at microsoft bcentral report. How accurate is that, really? Bottom line, you don't know what the search engines take short of what you pull up and see for results.

Now the matrix option code is displayed as the sku in the cart, and in the reciept print pages. However the parent sku is used in the email, checkout and order admin pages. Also there seems to be no decrementing of inventory. Originally I had none in the parent, it basically being a phantom. I added some to check if it was being lowered, it was not.

Try downloading the foundation products.xls template, perhaps with sample products intact. Modify the data and then test uploading using this file and the default foundation catalog. If this works then you will for sure whether xls upload is working. The next step will be customising the database structures on the server to match the data you wish to upload.

As a customer I go to Area A and Cat 1 and Product 201 shows up. If I select 201 then my options shows up with the correct desc and price and I can buy either one and everything is great (I changed my flypage), inv works, orders are correct etc. My problem is on the results page (I think) after I select area A/cat 1, if I click on "Buy Now" it uses sku 201, which really doesn't exist, there's no inv, no price. And since there is no inv for 201, it also shows 'N' and the price is 0. It's just a place holder so something shows up from the search. This has been the only way I can get the inv to be correct using options. Is there some way to correct the search or is this totally screwed up way of doing it? Thanks.

Other topics will include: - announcements of Interchange releases and fixes - notification and submission of Interchange bugs - distributing pages which implement Interchange functions - discussing the future development of Interchange - any other topic relating *directly* to Interchange The list started January 5, 1997 as minivend-users. For an archive of past articles, see: http://developer.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/ Also, because the list has high volume for one of its type, before posting to the list it is recommended that you use the search feature at: http://developer.akopia.com/ Many questions can be answered by trying some keywords at this facility. Try more than one combination. It is common courtesy when posting to a forum such as this to: 1. Include the version of software you are using, i.e. Interchange 4.6.1. Bugs are fixed and deficiencies corrected in each release of Interchange, as with almost any software. 2. Include relevant information where appropriate. The operating system in question is often relevant, as is the Perl version and database type in use. 3. When talking about tag problems, include a snippet of ITL tags which illustrates the problem. 4. When posting about PGP, Glimpse, or anything else that uses an external command, you need to state what happens when you run the same thing from the command line. 5. Include error log entries or a statement that there are none. If a post to this list doesn't include the relevant information, not only are you unlikely to get a reasonable answer, you will add to the volume of the list and make it less likely that reasonable questions are answered. All entries are archived and available via a web gateway. The "X-No-Archive: Yes" header is honored if you choose to use it. List etiquette issues: -- No HTML mail is allowed. Besides being improper email netiquette, it destroys the digest. -- Please try to keep your line size less than 80 characters. -- No PGP signatures should be used. This is not a legal record. -- No flame wars are tolerated. -- No "courtesy copies" unless specifically requested. It can be annoying to some people to receive two copies of the same message. -- If you must munge, make sure you mention this in the BODY of the message and not buried incomprehensibly in the header or in a cluttered signature attachment. -- The list changes the Reply-To: header to point to the list. While this is by popular demand, it is recognized that it is not always the best mode of operation. You should reply by email directly to the sender if the post will not be of general use. -- Contextual quoting is preferred, i.e. Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>): > Some limited text that will give context. > Your reply. versus Your reply, lazily put at the top. Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>): > The whole big blob of the previous posts, including > signatures and all In fact, the author of the program stops following a thread the moment this lazy quoting method is used.

The reason "sheet 1" is not known is that it is not an Interchange table name. The XLS import needs the sheet to be named for the table -- there is no other way for Interchange to know where the data goes. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. -- Earl Wilson From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Troy Davis) Date: Wed Nov 28 10:33:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Question about using Skipjack with IC 4.8.2 Hi there, When using Skipjack, is the person's credit card charged upon order placement, or when the order status is changed to shipped, or something else?

For example, if they have a hourly CSV import setup, then you would customize IC to fit to that. If they prefer a direct ODBC (being Windows and all) insert, then you can customize IC to do that. Do you already know a lot about the system and how it integrates with other software? If so, then it only becomes a question of how to do you make IC do what they want. If not, then it means you get out the disassembler and start hacking. ;-) Dan Browning Kavod Technologies PS.

You say client/server; is there an api with which you can talk directly to lightspeed? Or a database for perl DBD, etc... or is it using *.mdb - in which case you are close to but not quite dead (and will probably wish you were dead)? Timeliness and item count don't sound critical. Maybe you can do a file dump daily, parse it and load that into the store? Can it be automated? If not, it's not going to happen reliably. Is their network on the net?

I am sure that all of you guys has heard of my Interchange problem. It is the notorious: We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavaible...: Problem when I click on the link to enter the customers or admin interface (http://127.0.0.1/foundation). I have really read every topic about this prob but no lucky result. My both error.logs are completly ok (cat error.log in the cat dir and the error.log in the interchange dir). Interchange.cfg is also configured correctly. So the last thing that might be wrong is ther permission on the /cgi-bin/foundation and/or on the catalog directory. So, what are the permissions On this file and the cat dir? Foundation in cgi-bin is set to 4555 chmod and the cat dir to 2770 chmod. Pls help me out. Both chown to user interch... My Interchange daemon starts without any prob (su -c /usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange -r" interch). Perhaps the test_foundation database should be changed (permissions and user)?? Currently set to: mysql daemon Or when I run makecat I have tried both letters vor a multi user cat config (M, G). But no difference...

A quick look in CVS shows that Mike removed them before 4.8 was released because modular options hadn't matured enough to be in the stable branch.

Or am I stupid? :) If you select the "reports" template during makecat, you will see a working downloadable softgoods implementation. The softgoods are stored in the catalog directory (or anywhere you can put a symlink to). There are no size limits, but bear in mind if you want IC to deliver the goods it requires an IC daemon to run for the duration of the download. If that goes more than 5 minutes you will run into timeouts in the default configuration; if it goes more than 15 you will run into web server timeouts. Also, IC takes quite a bit of memory so you will see some memory usage. If you don't expect to have dozens of sales per hour or more, it probably won't matter. But if you will have a lot of large downloads, it it best to do some sort of external symlinking of an FTP path or something; or you can use IC to set up a customer login via AuthDBI or some other method. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> "Laughter is inner jogging." -- Norman Cousins From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Ing.

In your catalog home directory, where you have a session and tmp directory, a shell script: #!/bin/sh #rm_sessions find session -type f -exec rm {} \; find tmp -type f -exec rm {} \; That assumes you are running session files.

I have set up interchange server to use mysql database. My company database software resides on a NT box. I can access my windows database with MS Active Server Pages (.asp) and also access the mysql server simultaneoulsy with the odbc connector set up on the Windows box (Mysql offers this odbc connector). I access my windows database via Windows activer server pages, and update the database on the mysql server on the fly. I am familiar with accessing databases via .asp and am sure there might be other ways to do this, but it works, and this way I can adjust stock 1, or 2 times a day. Of course, all my machines are setting next to each other behind the firewall, which makes communication easy.

We currently have three main types of stuff that we sell on line: 1) physical goods--this is easy to understand how to do with Interchange, of course. (interfacing with our existing databases and systems is a question for another time) 2) downloadable goods--you select what you need, then you give us your credit card number, then we give you a link to the file you are to download. I searched the archives of this list and saw some people referring to the "simple" catalog that (at least used to) come with Interchange, because apparently it had some downloadable products set up. Has anyone managed to follow through and make good use of this method of selling with Interchange? If so, I'd like to ask you some questions. 3) magic ASCII strings--you buy one of our products at a store somewhere, and then you come to our e-commerce site. You select what you need, give us some serial number type stuff from the product you bought, give us your credit card number, and then we run some algorithm on the server to calculate an unlock code given what the user entered. We then display this on the next page so the user can copy it down.

How do I configure it? If you are recieving your orders on a windows box, set up an email program on that box such as Outlook (ducking!) or many others, and install PGP (if Linux use GPG). Make a new key, then export the public key to a .asc file. Now with Interchange on a Linux box, install GPG and import the public key, making sure permissions are correct, etc. You will get much more info at www.gnupg.org, but this will get you going in the right direction (I spent days just figuring out these few steps, DOH!).

[item-field q5] will lookup the q5 column in the products table, or tables listed in the ProductFiles directive. I assume that the q5 column you are referring to is in your pricing table, so try this: [item-data pricing q5] This will return the contents of the q5 column in the pricing table where the pricing.code column matches the current [item-code]. The value returned will not be formatted as a currency, so you will get something like "123.45" instead of "$123.45". To format the result as a currency value, you could try this: [currency][item-data pricing q5][/currency] You could also use [price code="[item-code]" quantity="5"] to look up the price of 5 the [item-code] products. This tag will format the result as a currency unless you specify the noformat="1" parameter. Have a go at that and see what happens. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.uk.com _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Glenn Canady) Date: Thu Nov 29 15:25:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Re: Partnership with Gorilla Web Site Marketing I visited your website at demo.akopia.com and have included it in our Business Directory at http://www.gorillawebsitemarketing.com/links/themeindex.html Great site!

Please help ASAP since I >>need to convert my business to usps cause FedEx has screwed me 3 times so >>far. Did it feel good? FedEx is very good at it. But, they are not as good at it as UPS. Here's the short course in using Priority Mail. shipping.asc has got have entries in it for Priority. Here is mine: uspspm Priority Mail weight 0 0 e Nothing to ship! uspspm Priority Mail weight 0 150 u PriorityMail [value name=zip filter=digits default=22306] {} uspspm Priority Mail weight 150 999999 e @@TOTAL@@ lbs too heavy for Priority Mail {} That is actually 3 lines, and the columns are tab delimited. My zone table 220.csv, has had a column added to it called 'Priority Mail' which matches the second column in shipping.asc. In 220.csv I added a column labeled 'Priority Mail' and populated it with the data in the first column for UPS Ground. It seems pretty close. My rate tables are in PriorityMail.csv. Someone on the list made them up and posted them. Pattern them after whatever tables you presently have. I think that you need a PriorityMail.csv.numeric. I've got no idea what it is, or why. Just make it. Pattern it after comparable ones in that directory. Go into dbconf/default_db (in my case). Copy something else to PriorityMail.dbm and edit it to suit the Priority Mail names. And, finally, go into country.txt and make sure that you have a line like this: US US fdxg fdxb fdxa uspspm United States ^tab^ ^tab^ ^tab^ The order that those shipping methods are in will determine the order that they appear in in the drop-down menu. I also recommend going into catalog.cfg and adjusting mv_shipmode to Priority Mail. Go in to the Admin interface and apply changes. And, then restart the server. Maybe some of these steps are superfluous and unneeded. I dunno. I just know that I've added a few shipping methods this way and it works. I hope that it works for you! -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Thursday, November 29, 2001 at 18:45 PM: If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 99 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jim Balcom) Date: Thu Nov 29 19:11:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Blocking FedEx to PO Boxes I'm looking for a modification to checkout.html so that when the person puts in a PO Box for the ship to that they can only select Priority Mail and not UPS or FedEx.

The techniques work fairly well for adding fields to the product table too. I've made some comments on it below with leading *** symbols. 1. Design your table. Avoid using a tool. Rather, write your table definition by hand. If you do use a tool (like phpmyadmin), dump the structure to a text file. You will need this later. For example: CREATE TABLE foo ( id INT(3) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL, atomic_number TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL ) ; Watch out for those commas. Of course, I've never wasted hours debugging table definitions that were simply missing commas, or had misplaced semi-colons instead. Goto http://www.mysql.com for more information. 2. Run your statement above using the mysql client, or phpmyadmin, to create the table if you haven't already. ** Not entirely necessary, but a good thing to do to make sure that the table definition doesn't have any stupid syntax errors. In general, I find that I like having <catroot>/dbconf/mysql/foo.txt correct and letting Interchange create the table. Easier for documentation if nothing else. 3. Create and open a file in <catroot>/dbconf/mysql/foo.txt 4. Type in the following information where appropriate: Database foo foo.txt __SQLDSN__ ifdef SQLUSER Database foo USER __SQLUSER__ endif ifdef SQLPASS Database foo PASS __SQLPASS__ endif 5. Next, add a line following the pattern below. Use the field definitions from step 1. Just add an equal sign (=) after the field name. 'foo' is the name of your table. The first and third columns are the same from table to table. No commas this time. Database foo COLUMN_DEF "id=INT(3) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY" Database foo COLUMN_DEF "name=VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL" Database foo COLUMN_DEF "atomic_number=TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL" Watch out for those quotes. Don't waste hours on missing quotes. Not that I've done that sort of thing. . . 6. Restart IC. Your table should now appear under Administration > Tables. ** From what I can tell, IC assumes that <catroot>/products/foo.txt exists, and looks there for initial data to import. ** BIG IMPORTANT NOTE ** If <catroot>/products/foo.txt exists, and <catroot>/products/foo.sql does not, Interchange will drop and create the table before doing the import. However, it will OMIT any and all fields that are not included in foo.txt -- at the very least, it needs to have each of the fields included in the first line separated by tabs. Note that this means that any INDEX statements on columns that are not created will fail! ** Doug Alcorn brought up this detail, and it's true, even in 4.8.3. Interchange seems to cross reference between the column definition file and the data file, and will only include "used" columns in the table it creates. 7. To add labels, goto Administration > Tables > mv_metadata (at the bottom in small type). 8. Select 'New Entry' 9. In the first field, labelled 'Table::Column', enter the table name by itself. e.g. 'foo' 10. Enter the label you would like for the table in 'Variable Name' 11. Click 'OK' 12. Apply Changes. You can now use mv_metadata to do all kinds of neat stuff. You might want to create mv_metadata entries for all of your fields in 'foo'. This would let you configure filters to remove malicious code, etc., among other things. ** mv_metadata is pretty nifty. If you are modifying the product table and adding columns, as per other posts here, after defining entries for each new column, go to Admin->Items then click on Item Editor (just above the search box). "Fields to edit" controls which fields are displayed in the admin editor for the items. ********************************************************************** Here is an example from my own (recent) experience. I am using foundation as the basis for a new catalog. I have tab delimited product data from another source which I want to use to replace the fake tools data in foundation. My tab delimited data includes fields which foundation doesn't include, so I need to add them. As per instructions elsewhere, I decided to leave the columns in foundation alone and add new columns even though many of the foundation columns are deprecated. I prefer to have Interchange create the table, so I skipped to step 3 above and edited <catroot>/dbconf/mysql/products.mysql and added the new columns to the end: Database products COLUMN_DEF "orderable=CHAR(3) DEFAULT 'NO' NOT NULL" Database products COLUMN_DEF "type=CHAR(4) DEFAULT 'PAGE' NOT NULL" Database products COLUMN_DEF "options=VARCHAR(255)" Database products COLUMN_DEF "contents=VARCHAR(255)" Database products COLUMN_DEF "source=VARCHAR(32)" Remember if using emacs to remove any ~ (autosave) files as there should be only one file in this directory that starts with "products." -- otherwise there might be issues with Interchange finding the wrong file. My tab delimited product file only included a few of the columns required by foundation. I opened up my editor and took the first line out of the current <catroot>/products/products.txt and placed it at the top of my tab delimited product file. This first line was then edited so that the columns that were included in my data file all appeared first. Here are the first couple of lines from my products.txt file: sku source description orderable price options type contents comment nontaxable title template_page thumb image wholesale prod_group category tax_category weight size color gift_cert related featured download dl_type dl_location inactive url sale_price image_large AT-INSPCT at-103 Inspected By #47 T-Shirt YES 14.49 "Size" "XL" "L" ITEM Marge is in charge!

Interchange doesn't require that each line be padded with tabs at the end, which is nice. One thing which did bite me in the butt is that price MUST be defined, otherwise Interchange will not import the line. Remove <catroot>/products/products.sql and restart IC. IC drops the existing products table, creates the new products table and imports the data, then creates <catroot>/products/products.sql once the import is successful so that future restarts do not do the same thing. Step 7-11 should be done for each of the new columns, then the columns can be added to the item editor. It's also pretty easy to delete the columns that aren't being used from the item editor at this point too. Complicated, yes, but it is easier to do than it sounds. -- Bob From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Dan Browning) Date: Thu Nov 29 19:24:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Blocking FedEx to PO Boxes > I'm looking for a modification to checkout.html so that when > the person puts in a PO Box for the ship to that they can > only select Priority Mail and not UPS or FedEx. > > Does anyone have a way to do this? > > > -= Jim =- The COD payment type doesn't allow PO Box deliver either, you might start with the code that you find under COD in etc/profiles.checkout and then modify it for your payment type and shipping values, etc. HTH, Dan Browning Kavod Technologies From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Korksoft Support Services) Date: Thu Nov 29 19:30:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Blocking FedEx to PO Boxes Jim, We did this quite a while ago for a customer... its pretty easy actually.

Pretty simple. 1. Back up your current interchange software directory. 2. Get the .tar.gz file and install, using the same interchange root. 3. Restart. That should be it. The backup is theoretically not necessary if you haven't changed any of the distribution files, but I recommend it anyway. There is a regular procedure in the distribution file UPGRADE, which is supposed to answer this question. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. -- Dave Barry From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com) Date: Thu Nov 29 20:10:00 2001 Subject: [ic] RE: How to upgrade from 4.8.2 to 4.8.3 > I would like to know what is the safest manner in which to upgrade from > 4.8.2 to 4.8.3. without having to delete my current catalog and or change my > SQL database, where data from version 4.8.2 resides? Read the UPGRADE file in the tarball. Very little to it. Basically make a back up of your current install dir /usr/local/interchange (or whatever) for safety purposes and then simply install. It won't touch your catalogs or mySQL data in any way (at least it didn't for us) You only need to be concerned if you have created custom usertags or perhaps modified the admin area in /usr/local/interchange/lib Note there is a typo in the UPGRADE file.

I am sure there is a better way, but I don't know it. When you run the makecat program to create your database it asks the second question. The first question is "Catalog name?" and the second question is "Server name" I entered the wrong server name and it took me almost 3 days to figure out what I did wrong. You have to be sure you enter everything that will appear before the catalog name. my example is "www.tester.morgancomputers.net" This is an internal machine I use for testing. What I put was "www.tester.morgancomputers.net/foundation" I did this because I miss read the question. The first example works great but the second will not let me past the option screen and into the database screens.

Only call what you need - optimize your queries. For example, if in the future you added a custom column to your mysql products table for some text blob, like a description, the * query will pull all of that information into memory. Then you are only going to use a small poriton of it. By all means only pull what you need.

But I have not been fooling around with straight C code or C++ so I don't know the magic incantation to make this work, but I have a guess on what it is. 10.1 and gcc introduced 2 level namespaces for shared libraries to make it much quicker to launch apps amongst other problems. There is a flag you can use to turn this off. Chad From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Dorothy Puma) Date: Fri Nov 30 12:06:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Looking for a list of hosts....

However, it is so hard to believe that I must say there has to be a catch somewhere. Either these guys wont be around for long, or you don't really get what they advertise.

Don't worry I'm not going to ask "How do I set it up?" My question is this: I have already set up my own home page which I call the *Store Lobby*. I have only 10 departments (or categories if you will). I see that all products are placed in a *catalog* and that there ar no actual product html pages. The question is, "Can I link to a particular category and bring up the interchange store with only those products within the category (department) directly from my own home page? You know setting up <a href=xxxxx> from my department link. I don't need a lengthy explanation. Just whether or not it can be done and maybe a direction on where to look for the source on how to do it.

In most cases, you get what you pay for....would like to hear more about this place, ya never no! As a person who is in the Hosting industry myself, I just hope they don't pull what other competitors have done. Charge ridiculously low prices, get thousands of clients and then sell them off. We are not the cheapest, nor do we plan to be. We are priced for the quality of our service, which in my eyes, and our clients eyes, we have great prices for what we offer. We want quality customers instead of thousands and thousands of $9.99 customers. Those customers take a lot time usually.

Installing Interchange 4.8.3 on Linux Slackware, tripped up when trying to use mysql. It installs fine using if no SQL is selected. bin/makecat dialog that has to do with creation of mysql database test_foundation is below marked DIALOG makecat. bin/makecat creates the test_foundation database but does not create tables and does not populate them. Running bin/restart yields error messages included below marked DIALOG restart. I'll bet I didn't set permissions right somewhere. I tried installing as root and as interchange. Grateful for any help. Kirill DIALOG makecat: Since you selected the MySQL option, you need to create a database named "test_foundation".

I have searched the pdf's and the IC website but haven't found the info I need. I am using IC 4.8.1 in what seems to be it's native state of dynamically creating pages. However, I do need some static pages that will sell items also. how would I use- [if-item-data inventory quantity < 1] to instead check a specific sku. I will have a few of these on the same page in slightly different forms. I tried [if-[im0003]-data inventory quantity < 1] and [if-im0003-data inventory quantity < 1] and others that are similar. I have been very successful in the dynamic portion of the website, but because of many issues I still need a few static pages. I tried the "button builder" in the IC_UI. I didn't understand what it's use is. I know what it does, but why does it use a different version of the shopping cart? Anyways, I don't want to use that because I will also be having a quantity "input". I spent all day on this and haven't gotten anywhere.

I would be surprised if that really was the reason ic.redhat.com doesn't maintain an official list. If they did have a list of "competitors", it would be an opportunity to show why official Red Hat hosting (& partnered Rackspace.com hosting) is "head and shoulders" above the rest. That way people could clearly see "oh, the inexpensive ones are over here, but the good ones are over there". I mean, there are people here on the 9.95/mo and cable modem hosting, which is fine when it's a one-man-show type store. But for bigger businesses, Red Hat and other business (*ahem* *ahem*) use Enterprise-class hosting, which is Tier-1 co-located or dedicated boxen. We host our Intel boxen at Inflow, which some say is the Cadillac of hosting. For example, most AT&T network customers (e.g. @home users) have a 9 millisecond (!!!) latency to our servers (try pinging www.diabeticsupplies.com and compare it to google.com or others). Similarly, people who come from UUNET or Genuity backbones get low latency connections because the data center we're at has 3 (count 'em, 3) OC-48's connecting to each backbone, load-balanced BGP style. So AOL customers (AOL uses UUNET) come in through the fastest route, which is the OC-48 with UUNET. What I mean to say is that I don't think Red Hat would hurt from putting such a list up, because it is like comparing Apples to Oranges. There are different needs for different markets. On the other side of the same coin, I am not opposed to a community site, since I don't think it will hurt things at all (plus, it may allay some of the conspiracy theories). ;-) Dan Browning Kavod Technologies From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Dan Browning) Date: Fri Nov 30 18:00:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Testing maximal connects > On Fri, 30 Nov 2001, Thomas Dan Otto wrote: > > TDO>>I want to know, how much people can use the shop in the > same time > TDO>>and then how the performance is. > > An unlimited number of people (almost) can use the store at > the same time. > > Performance is dependent on the speed of the computer(s) you > are using and the bandwidth of your connection. > > TDO>>But I got a problem: > TDO>>When i.e. 15 people work on the shop, the basket is > empty, when I > TDO>>want to pay - why? > > I don't see what this has to do with performance, but > possibly you don't have cookies enabled. > > TDO>>(To simulate the test, I write a perl script, that reads out the > TDO>>first page, sleep two seconds, and then reread the first > page and > TDO>>that 15 scripts parallel) > > That's not a fair test! > > The users are going to download a page.

I am still toying with the idea of programming my own since this will be a a very, very small store and I want it to look totally like a Ma/Pa type store. Nothing extremely fancy and very easy to get around in. Interchange is NOT easy. It has a VERY steep learning curve. I spent nearly 6 months doing the basic groundwork just to get something basic up and running on July 4th. The learning curve is still steep, after nearly a year of playing and working with it. IC is a VERY powerful software package. It is VERY complete, and therefore complex. Prior to changing to IC, I was using commerce.cgi. This is an excellent program and much easier to set up and maintain. I left it because it has no decent shipping options, whereas IC has excellent shipping options. If commerce.cgi could have been easily modified to handle shipping by zones, I would still be there. In fact, one of the benefits of commerce.cgi that is not available in IC is to be able to add options to an item and increase the price. (A basic small T-Shirt is $5.00, select a large size and the price goes to $10, add embroidery to the large size and add another $10 for a total of $25). This is cumbersome in IC because you need to make each size a different SKU and the embroidery is yet another SKU and you have to check to make sure that they have a T-Shirt in their cart before they can buy it. Or, you can write your own routines in ITL that will do it - which many people find to be quite easy. To use IC, you've got to get, at least, a small amount of Perl under your belt, and quite a bit more of ITL. If you want something that you can open the box, input your inventory and have a grand opening, IC is not it. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Friday, November 30, 2001 at 19:30 PM: The Hubbell works fine; all that stuff IS blurry! ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 124 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jim Webster) Date: Fri Nov 30 19:52:00 2001 Subject: [ic] PAUL JORDAN I live in Southern CA.

My forte was not volume hosting, it was Minivend expertise. So I could (and had to) charge more, ofttimes for what seemed to be less. In actual practice, I guess my service was pretty good because I never lost a customer who actually used Minivend. (A couple faded away for other reasons.) So the list was partly to have a place to send people who wanted to try and negotiate price. I would refuse to, but say "try some of these people". I also had a policy that I would not list someone unless I saw at least the demo Minivend store installed (and staying active) in their netblocks. Many times I became the refuge of last resort when people got tired of getting what they paid for with free technical support. I charged through the nose, but was almost always able to solve the problem. 8-) [snip] > What I mean to say is that I don't think Red Hat would hurt from putting > such a list up, because it is like comparing Apples to Oranges.

The lack is in the time to produce and maintain it. But if someone wants to start a project in the new project home, that project being the hosting list, I am as sure as I can be that it would be OK. Of course if the person starting it was a hosting provider, they would have to be sure to no more prominently feature themselves than their competition. 8-) I always had the smallest icon for my own service, with no indication that it was the "official" one.
