Interchange's default cookies have no expiration date and should never be saved to disk. I could see requiring a privacy policy if the cookie would return upon browser restart. If you tell me what the header is, we can put in some code which sets it; perhaps we can add it to the Vend::Track module.

How can we assign an order number if we aren't sure whether the card will be approved? We could, but then there would be a "hole" every time a transaction is declined. The usual thing that is done is to assign some transitory order ID, perhaps date/time/PID based, then use their assigned order reference to collate the authorization with the order number. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.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 From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (JT Justman) Date: Mon Oct 1 01:45:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Multiple page checkout Okay, here's the trouble of the week : ) I'm running 4.81, working from a foundation demo.

So I create a simple profile in profiles.order: __NAME__ test_profile fname=required lname=required address1=required city=required state=required zip=required &fatal=yes &final=no __END__ Then I set the checkout page thus: (just the relivant parts) Errors: [error all=1 show_error=1 joiner="<BR>"] <FORM ACTION="[process secure=1]" METHOD="POST" name=checkout> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_session_id VALUE="[data session id]"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_doit VALUE=refresh> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="ord/checkout"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_route VALUE="[either]__ORDER_ROUTES__[or]log main copy_user[/either]"> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=mv_check VALUE="Save_database"> <input type=hidden name=mv_order_profile value=test_profile> <input type=hidden name=mv_successpage value=ord/checkout2> <input type=hidden name=mv_failpage value=ord/checkout> [button name="mv_click" src="order.gif" text="Place Order" hidetext=1 form=checkout ] mv_todo=submit [/button] [button name="mv_click" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__recalculate_button.gif" text="Recalculate" hidetext=1 form=checkout ] mv_todo=refresh [/button] Obviously, I want it to be sure all the fields are okay, then go to page 2. As it is, whether I enter correct information or not, it reloads the current page and does not show any errors.

Yep. You could paste it into VENDROOT/interchange.cfg, or save it into a file named env.tag in VENDROOT/usertag/ (IC restart to activate in either case). I think it will also work at the catalog level, which means you could paste it into CATROOT/catalog.cfg, or create a usertag directory in your CATROOT, save it as a file there, and put this line in your catalog.cfg: include usertag/* #NOTE: this may need a leading '#', I am not sure, due to new directives. ..and reconfig your catalog in either case. > From there, how would I call up a specific variable? > >Would I do something like this? > >[env SCRIPT_NAME] somewhere in an Interchanged parsed page? Yes, that is right, provided that variable is defined on your server. There is some documentation at the top of the tag. You can get a table of all variables by putting [env] (no argument) on a page in your catalog. >When I do can I expect the SCRIPT_NAME to be echoed where ever the tag is >located?

I am having trouble finding this code. I am using Interchange 4.8.2 and am willing to take on alpha or beta code. Obviously, it would be nice if it were ready and working to the max. Looking through lib/Vend/Payment, I found AuthorizeNet.pm CCVS.pm CyberCash.pm Signio.pm Skipjack.pm iTransact.pm but no sign of PayPal. Not even grep helps. I looked on the mailing lists and read that it would go into 4.7 so I am a bit surprised it is not there.

I guess that you probably could, but that seems cumbersome and messy, especially if your inventory is more than a few items. I would recommend putting one text input box on the checkout page called 'Engraving Instructions'. Then the customer would write in there something like: Engrave the outside of the bracelet with 'ELH' Engrave the inside of the bracelet with 'All My Love - Scotty' Engrave the toaster with 'Ron's Kitchen' (Multiple instructions for several items on the same order.) (in ord/checkout.html) <TR> <TD>Engraving Instructions: </td> <TD><TEXTAREA NAME="engraving" ROWS=10 COLS=40></TEXTAREA></TD> </TR> (in etc/report and etc/receipt.html) Engraving Instructions: [value engraving] Placement is not critical. I have it right after the phone numbers. It wouldn't hurt to also have a comments box on the order form. I tell them that comments don't get answered. It's a great place for them to add any sort of information: "Leave package by side door", "Don't require a signature", "This store is awesome!", "The link for ABC is broken", etc. My feeling is that the comments box gives the customer a better feeling of the store being user-friendly, and that the management cares. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Tuesday, October 02, 2001 at 08:30 AM: All words are pegs on which to hang ideas. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 182 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Andrew McBeath) Date: Tue Oct 2 10:28:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Now where has that fabled FAQ gone then?

One which I'll answer at some length in the hope that it may provide food for thought for those who write documentation for interchange (and I know you've done most of that, to date). Interchange is big: 1695269 Sep 22 13:52 interchange-4.8.2.tar.gz 4422926 Sep 22 13:55 interchange-doc-4.8.2.tar.gz We who try to use this (very nice) package have to pick and choose what we read. I'd guess that most of us new to the interchange world use one of the provided demos as a template. I think it's wonderful that you provide those templates. My first exposure to this world was minivend several years ago. I hacked on the art store demo and got a functional store running. If you look at the store operated by Jim Balcom, a frequent contributor to this list, you'll see an extensive store with lotsa features, but it jumps right out at you that it's based on the construct demo. On the other hand, if you look at the korksoft.com website run by Jason Korkin, another frequent contributor to this list, you'll see that it doesn't look like any of the demos, but watching the URLs that appear in the Location: textbox will soon convince you that it is running either minivend or interchange (Jason's been doing this a long time). Not too long ago a real client with a real brick-and-mortar business decided to upgrade his web business. He wanted to run an online store based on interchange, and he wanted to use Authorize.net as his CC gateway. Thus was I re-introduced to interchange after a hiatus of several years. Everything went reasonably well until I needed to get Authorize.net working. I asked some questions on this list, and got useful replies, primarily from you, Mike. And I consider the reply you made to my last question useful, because it got me to read somewhere else. But the question was prompted because I had gone to the source, .../lib/Vend/Payment/AuthorizeNet.pm, to try and find the source of my difficulty, because that has worked for me before. Let's talk about this little snippet: # x_Company => $actual->{company}, # x_Phone => $actaul->{phone_day}, x_Email => $actual->{email}, x_Phone => $actaul->{phone_day}, I noticed that x_Company and x_Phone were commented out, although x_Phone appears uncommented a couple of lines later. I also noticed the creative spelling of 'actual'. Correcting that spelling and bouncing interchange resulted in the field corresponding to x_Phone showing up on the email I receive from Authorize.net. Let me interject here that I have another non-interchange site that has been using Authorize.net successfully for more than a year. It's using PERL code that I wrote from scratch, so I have some familiarity with the Anet API. The second thing I noticed was that uncommenting the x_Company line and bouncing interchange did _not_ cause the corresponding field to show up in the email I received from Anet. Further investigation showed this code snippet in .../interchange/lib/Vend/Payment.pm: my @map = qw( address address1 address2 amount b_address b_address1 b_address2 b_city b_country b_fname b_lname b_name b_state b_zip check_account check_accttype check_checktype check_dl check_magstripe check_number check_routing check_transit city comment1 comment2 corpcard_type country cvv2 email fname item_code item_desc lname mv_credit_card_exp_month mv_credit_card_exp_year mv_credit_card_number name origin_zip phone_day phone_night pin po_number salestax shipping state tax_duty tax_exempt tender zip ); You'll notice that 'company' is not on this list. Adding it to the list and bouncing interchange caused the corresponding field to show up on the email I received from Anet. So I continued my investigation. I decided that the line x_Address => $actual->{address}, should reference 'b_address' instead of 'address' since that is what Anet is interested in. For those of you even less informed than I, those tokens with 'b_' prepended are from the "Billing Address" portion of the Account Info form and those without are from the Shipping Address portion. If no separate Billing Address is entered, the obvious is done. Now I was rockin' and rollin'. Noting that all the tokens for both Billing Address and Shipping Address were in @map in Payment.pm, I just went ahead and added a few lines in AuthorizeNet.pm, so that the relevant snippet is: x_First_Name => $actual->{b_fname}, x_Last_Name => $actual->{b_lname}, x_Company => $actual->{b_company}, x_Address => $actual->{b_address}, x_City => $actual->{b_city}, x_State => $actual->{b_state}, x_Zip => $actual->{b_zip}, x_Country => $actual->{b_country}, x_Email => $actual->{email}, x_Phone => $actual->{phone_day}, x_Ship_To_First_Name => $actual->{fname}, x_Ship_To_Last_Name => $actual->{lname}, x_Ship_To_Company => $actual->{company}, x_Ship_To_Address => $actual->{address}, x_Ship_To_City => $actual->{city}, x_Ship_To_State => $actual->{state}, x_Ship_To_Zip => $actual->{zip}, x_Ship_To_Country => $actual->{country}, I bounced interchange, entered another order with different billing and shipping addresses, and Voila!, the email from Anet reflected all my changes. Mike, here is where I answer your question: Having noticed that the 'salestax' and 'shipping' tokens are in @map in Payment.pm, and having verified that [salestax] and [shipping] are used in .../pages/ord/checkout.html, I went ahead an added a couple of lines to AuthorizeNet.pm that I thought would get those values emailed to me with the same ease I had slain the other dragons. When this didn't work, I posted the email that has ultimately resulted in this lengthy response. Only after reading Mike's response did I go back to checkout.html and note the difference between, say, [salestax] and [value b_fname]. I made what seemed to me to be a reasonable inference based on the tokens in @map in Payment.pm and the structure of the Anet query in AuthorizeNet.pm. It turned out not to be reasonable, and as soon as I post this I'll start trying to figure out the cleanest way to get what I want. I'm reasonably sure that many folks using this list are also using Authorize.net as a credit card gateway. If they're doing it successfully, then either they've solved some of the problems I've alluded to herein, or the missing fields on the Anet emails are not important to them. If they've solved the problems, then I believe they're remiss in not posting those solutions to this list. If they don't care, then, no problem. But there is no documentation _anywhere_ (save archives of this list) that I could find that has anything to say about using Authorize.net: $ grep -ilr authorize interchange-doc-4.8.2/* $ # grep -ilr authorize /usr/local/interchange/doc/* # So we've got to do the best we can by searching list archives and the source code: # grep -ilr authorize /usr/local/interchange/lib/ /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Payment/Skipjack.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Payment/CyberCash.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Payment/Signio.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Payment/CCVS.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Payment/AuthorizeNet.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Server.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Parse.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/Util.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/Business/UPS.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/Primitive.pm /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/ichelp.txt /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/locales/da_DK.cfg /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/locales/de_DE.cfg /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/locales/nl_NL.cfg /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/locales/sv_SE.cfg /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/add_meta_option.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/customer.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/customer_select.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/group.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/layout.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/order.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/order_status.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/reconfig.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/regen.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/report.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/report_results.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/search_wizard_results.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/special/key_violation.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/spread.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/tablereport.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/upload_file.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/step_pay.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/step_pay_auth.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/step_pay_itransact.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/step_pay_skipjack.html /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/profiles/db_maintenance # If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading.

It isn't clear to me if this feature is usable. Also, are matrix options usable? What precisely is the difference between modular and matrix options? I'm kind of confused regarding the differences. It would be nice if the documentation showed actual examples of what it looks like to setup modular/matrix options in the options database and how to implement this in a store (code and all that). The docs for IC are pretty good for the most part in my opinion, however, it seems like in some cases they should more fully elaborate on things such as this where confusion can happen. Basically, what I'm trying to do is to create a set of product attributes that can be applied to multiple products. Setting of some of these options would cause the product price to increase. I was doing what I wanted using Interchange 4.6 but when I recently upgraded to 4.8 everything got messed up. I wasn't using the options database to accomplish this. Instead, I was the products database, pricing database, and UseModifier setting in catalog.cfg to make the price adjustments. In the flypage and on the basket page I am using the item accessories tag to display/set product attributes as follows, [item-accessories installation] Here is a sample entry of what I have in the price field in the products database, 292.00, ==installation:pricing, ==color_frames:pricing, ==low_e_glass_with_argon:pricing, ==grids:pricing, ==foam_filled_frames:pricing, ==double_strength_glass:pricing The URL for the store is, http://neatway.com/cgi-bin/neatway/index.html Here is the line for UseModifier in catalog.cfg, UseModifier installation, woodgrain, color_frames, v_groove_glass, low_e_glass_with_argon, grids, foam_filled_frames, double_strength_glass, double_hung When I attempt to set one of these product attributes, the price isn't affected at all. For a while there this wasn't a problem. The first problem I had was that the Perl code I wrote in the order receipt files failed to show what attributes were selected. I don't know what I did to cause this to not function at all. Anyway, I was unable to correct either one of these problems so I decided to use the options database instead. Right now I am testing this out with a sample storefront that I've setup. I've accomplished what I've wanted with simple options, however, I'd like to use modular options for this task as I feel that method would be a more appropriate choice. Any help or pointers someone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

HTH, -Dan Browning From: "Bill Randle" <billr@exgate.tek.com> To: <interchange-users@lists.akopia.com> Subject: Re: [ic] In Stock Notification Date: Thursday, January 04, 2001 10:33 AM Doug, et. al., I finally got time to follow up on my previous cron suggestion with some more details. 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 _______________________________________________ Interchange-users mailing list Interchange-users@lists.akopia.com http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Lewey Taylor) Date: Tue Oct 2 16:22:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Now where has that fabled FAQ gone then?

I needed to change away from commerce.cgi. I had modified it about as much as I could go without knowing Perl, and I needed zone-based shipment. I went through a lot of money buying defective software. In a previous life I was a computer programmer. In that life I would have whaled away on software, and quite probably would have written my own store. However, I backed into a business that is going great guns. I never dreamed that selling diapers for adults would make money. But, it is! I need to pay attention to my business! I don't have time to program computers anymore. My intent was to simply open a box, put the software on-line, add my inventory and take orders. But, that's impossible unless I were to spend multi-thousands of dollars on software. Or, to install Interchange. In early 2001 I ran into an attitude on this list (or, so it seemed to me) that those of us that were simply remodeling an existing store were to be looked down on, and perhaps exorcised. "Real men build their own store from scratch." That attitude on this list has changed. I haven't seen it in quite some time. Now, there is a lot of discussion about modifying construct and foundation and people are sharing their knowledge. In my mind the atmosphere here now is lot different than it was last winter. Which I appreciate. This list has been a valuable resource to me. I've grabbed a LOT of things from this list that I have added to the store. The fact that it's obviously a construct package doesn't bother me. I've not had time to make a drastic change, although I continually make subtle ones. I place a higher priority on ordering inventory, writing up sales, packing and shipping. When I get a few minutes, I play with the store software. But a year ago I learned that is dangerous. I was using frames and some nice animations that I stole from Six Flags web page. I thought that it was pretty fancy. I was told that people don't like frames. In September I ditched that software and changed to using tables. Sales went up dramatically. My present configuration is working and it's making me money. I'm reluctant to change it very much. Besides, my customers don't know 'construct' from 'destruct' :-) So: for those of you reading this drivel, this far: www.thediapersuperstore.com is living proof that you can rip open the box on Interchange 4.6.2, install it, plug it in, and add your inventory and your 'store-in-a-box' is ready to go.

The problem is that it saves checkout.html with a template of 'fullwidth' for some reason, and that template does not exist. A quick fix is simply to copy CATROOT/templates/noleft to CATROOT/templates/fullwidth Other than this, I'm not certain what could be done to change the saved template.

The actual, unmodified page shows (in a text editor) that the template is noleft. However, after having modified it with the UI, the template shown in the [comment] at the beginning of the file is fullwidth. Copying the noleft template does work, and doesn't appear to change the functionality of the page, but you could just as (more??) easily modify the file directly to point to the correct template. Anyone have any ideas why this template change on save?

Create those options with the option editor for one product, using the "simple" options. Once that is done, a single CommonAdjust with ==:options does the setting.

Those are files that are stored on the hard drive and don't have anything to do with memory. However, if your system has quotas enabled, you may be running out of disk space, which is not the same as running out of memory. In fact, it's very difficult to run out of memory in Linux because when the memory gets full, it swaps it out to the swap space on the hard drive. However, if the computer does not have any swap space, or the swap space is too small, then you are going to get significant problems. The smaller amount of actual RAM, the bigger the swap space you need. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Wednesday, October 03, 2001 at 17:50 PM: It took my cat a month to fully train me. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 216 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Rene Hertell) Date: Wed Oct 3 18:03:00 2001 Subject: [ic] invalid cookie path Hello Everybody, I just checked my site with lynx and it gave me this warning when the first Cookie arrived: Accept invalid cookie path=/index.cgi as a prefix of '/'?

Ok, I know this is far from the greatest idea I've ever had, but I wouldnt mind your guys thoughts on this: I'm just the latest in a long line of people to run into the old SSL, different domains, and disappearing carts problem. Yes, I am aware (and leaning towards) other solutions which remove the session change rather than dealing with it, but I'm just thinking about the problem and it's cause. You are always going to get the session switch when jumping to the secure server (by design/definition of what a session is) yeah? But...the session data, particular the cart contents, _is_ stored by interchange temporarily. First Question: Am I right in thinking that Interchange has the capability to load this session data if fed the right session ID? The non-SSL session ID is already being passed...whats to stop you looking up that data? Having looked at the internals, Interchange uses the current session ID regardless of what ID you passed it. Is this by design? And was this changed? Because from what I've seen in the mail archives it makes sense (considering the IpHead, IpQuad, and related directives, and their usage) that you used to be able to pass a session ID in the string and, depending on the config directives used, Interchange would allow you to load that session's data. Is that right? or am I way off the mark? I tried a quick experiment in that I started a session, put an item in my cart, went to the checkout, and verified there was no items in my cart. I then opened the session file for each of the sessions I just started (non-SSL and SSL), copied the 'main'=>[ ... ] block (in the carts section) from the non-SSL to the SSL session file. Take a guess at what happened when I hit refresh in my browser... So... the ability to transfer your cart (and every last little bit of data about your session) between sessions is there and, from an initial poke around, is actually (or once was) built in to Interchange. Anyway, someone must have followed this line of thought before and here's my question: If you are going to transfer session data like this, what problems are looming in the background, and assuming it can be done with reasonable security (i.e. not vulnerable to passing random session id's in the query string for example)...I feel it's worth the $125 US each customer is going to save not having to buy a certificate from Thawte.

I was able to get SSL sessions transferring from one (non-SSL) domain name to a (SSL) domain name. Internet Explorer did not like this, although my then current version of Netscape did not bitch about it. IE popped up a warning message telling the caller that they were being transferred to a different site and they they needed to be careful. Now, I've got customers that even with 128-bit security are refusing to put their CC# into a totally secure set-up.

If you don't run your own machine, you cannot just increase swap; you must speak to the sysadmin for your hosting company. You've not told us how much memory you are using (ps) or anything else. How much memory does ic use when you start it? how much after some traffic and how much over the next days. If it grows slowly but steadily there could (easily) be a memory leak; just restarting nightly might be enough. You can use sql and not import the data.

Jim, I'm not sure if we are doing the same thing here... I am setting up a server to host Interchange sites on, that is, I am providing the service not trying to sell stuff myself. In doing so, obviously I am endeavoring to keep the costs down for clients. Yes, the user level issues of browser warnings is valid, but it is a decision for the client not me. I aim to provide options, not dictate what the client must/must not do. Whether that is smart or not is another issue and I welcome opinions either way ;) (I'm sure we've all come across both those clients who are too cheap assed to buy a certificate, and also those users who are too paranoid to entrust their cc details to fairly hefty security schemes...) The setup I am looking at is: Catalog URL will be http://www.customer.co.nz, SecureURL set to https://secure.mydomain.com (same machine/ip). This means my clients can have their shop at their own domain, but do not have to have their own certificate as they can use my certificate to do their secure stuff... >Don't do anything that will scare your customers. Scare them and they will >run away - quickly. Give them confidence and they will buy from you, again >and again! >Don't be cheap! This is not a simply matter of 'being cheap'. I do agree with you in theory on this matter, but for me this is really a matter of remaining competitive with other eCommerce providers who do not require that the client purchase themselves a certificate. - thus placing me roughly $125USD more expensive than the next guy for what appears to the client to be exactly the same service (on this point anyway :) ). I then have a marketing job on my hands to convince them otherwise...to tell a client "Dont be cheap!" is not the greatest sales pitch... yes, you can use the fact that the whole site is secure as a sales point, but consider Joe Bloggs who wants to get his feet wet with a low cost, simple ecommerce solution for his [insert favorite product here] shop... To outlay that extra money makes it just that extra bit more unattractive, and that is contrary to what we are trying to achieve here: putting decent and high quality ecommerce within reach of everybody...not just those who can spend 10-20 grand. I agree that the price of a certificate is not a lot in comparison to the site development, but it is a serious consideration whether or not it is absolutely 100% necessary Kind Regards, Andrew Jim Balcom wrote: > On Thu, 4 Oct 2001, Andrew McBeath wrote: > > AM>>If you are going to transfer session data like this, what problems are > AM>>looming in the background, and assuming it can be done with reasonable > AM>>security (i.e. not vulnerable to passing random session id's in the > AM>>query string for example)...I feel it's worth the $125 US each customer > AM>>is going to save not having to buy a certificate from Thawte. > > I was able to get SSL sessions transferring from one (non-SSL) domain name > to a (SSL) domain name.

Given the wild popularity of WN, I'd not investigate that. We install it like this (where ic473 is the version): tlink/vlink in /usr/cgi as /usr/cgi/ic473.cgi (versioned) Then within a particular catalog, <catalog>.cgi is a symlink to /usr/cgi/ic473. We don't bother with cgi-bin construct. tlink/vlink can be perl if you want. I can't see why you would have a problem running binaries if you built them. Hmmm, maybe you are running WN with suexec? WN has a sample.cgi in the docs/examples. Put that in place of your vlink and it will dump your CGI environment and the WN special variables. cfm > > I'm lost a bit. > > Regards, > Bas > > _______________________________________________ > interchange-users mailing list > interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com > http://interchange.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users -- Christopher F.

I did post about this, but I wonder if it got through. It is harmless, happens when doing a page edit, and is caused by not checking to see if you have a backup database defined before fetching lists of backups of your differnet pages.

Thanks a million for your input. Theo Burger. I have done it (actually in Minivend 3.14!), and IC is quite suitable for building a B2B site, perhaps more so than most other eCommerce offerings. Just using the CommonAdjust feature in concert with various table entries, we were able to create pricing variances at the manufacturer, buying group, and individual member levels (and combinations thereof), plus features like variable minimum order levels, automatic order routing by manufacturer, etc. You have your work cut out for you, but the platform is capable and the tools are there. - Ed L. =============================================================== New Media E.M.S.

I am a relative newbie to ic, but I do have some experience with 4.8.1 and I do not remember it ever being this slow. After upgrading I have also created a new catalog which is what is very slow. The server has more than enough memory, and is running SuSE 7.1 and perl 5.6.0. The catalog connects to a mysql 3.23.33 database, which seems to be working fine. I have checked the error.log files as well as the sql.err log with nothing pointing to why this might be happening. The catalog is slow doing anything in both the customer and admin interfaces.

Upgrading OpenSSL/mod_ssl seemed to help (big recompiling pain, though), as well as making sure Apache was set for: SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 (see http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC49) I'm not sure we even got all the problems, but it has helped a lot. It would be good to build a browser-client database of what is needed for the most compatibility. But it is so much work to build multiple windows boxes / VMware images for all the different versions of IE (since it is impossible to load two simultaneous versions like Netscape). I don't think it matters, but we're using Verisign 128-bit certs, BTW. Also see Microsoft bug reports re. buggy SSL in IE: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q247/3/67.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=g n&FR=0&qry=SSL%20128-bit&rnk=3&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=IE http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q257/9/78.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=g n&FR=0&qry=SSL%20128-bit&rnk=4&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=IE (there are some more too, can't find them, anyone else got them?)

They had a known issue with SSL and keeping the SSL session going. If i remember correctly the fix was entering in httpd.conf the line: BrowserMatch "MSIE" nokeepalive Do a little research, you can even narrow it down to specific browser versions. This way, it forces IE to regenerate its SSL session at every page. Yes, it makes the server work harder, but it seems to have cleared up the problem.

Depending on your server you may find options to tweak response according to certain browsers or actions. Keepalive on CGI POST is probably best disabled. This sort of stuff: #define POST_NO_KEEPALIVE (TRUE) /* By default keepalive is disabled for POSTS. If you want to * allow persistent connections for POSTS, set this to FALSE */ Actually, we disable it on any CGI or dynamic content. cfm -- Christopher F.

If you use GNU based code in your creation, you must also relase your code under the same license. You retain the copyright to your own code (ie, nobody else can copyright your code), but must supply or make available your code under the GPL provisions. If you want to hold full copyright you will have to do it without the use of GNU tools. The way to generate revenue from GNU code is by means of providing a service and charging for the service component, not the software itself.

Josh, I posted a while ago the steps I went through to get IC working on a RaQ4. Basically from scratch what I did, create a new site, make user interch under new site, configure and install interch, ie /home/sites/site1/users/interch/interchange for the installation, and then /home/sites/site1/users/interch/catalogs for catalog directories. Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and for the <VirtualHost> tag for site1, I put the following line in: AddHandler cgi-script .ic Then in access.conf I put: <Directory /home/sites/site1/web> AllowOverride All Options All </Directory> Then when running makecat, base path was /home/site/site1/web, no cgi directory, and cgi url was shop1.ic or foundation.ic or whatnot. Not sure how picky Apache is on syntax and whether that trailing slash makes a difference (/home/web/), though I would assume not. The other consideration is I thought /home/sites/home was controlled by the admin server (a different instance of Apache), where as the /home/sites directory and subdirs besides /home were controlled by the normal http server.

Create and configure mysql table ----------------------------------- See my TIPS: Adding mysql tables for directions. 2. Open up a text editor. ------------------------- This one ought to be easy. If not, I'm sorry, but you'll have to put this down. 3. Add the basics to make this page look like one of your other pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Type, copy or paste into your text editor: [comment] ui_template: Yes ui_template_name: leftonly [/comment] Please save. 4. Add the [table-editor] tag. ------------------------------ This tag makes your life easy by building the form, and updating the table as needed. [table-editor href=process mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@ table=foo key="bar" ui_data_fields="bar1 bar2 bar3..." ] You'll want to substitue your table name for 'foo'. The key value should be just that, the key value. This is how [table-editor] find the record your looking for. In ui_data_fields, you list the fields you want in the form. For example, let's suppose your new table is 'airport_codes'. I has two fields, 'airport_code' and 'name'. We want to edit record for 'JAX': [table-editor href=process mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@ table=airport_codes key="JAX" ui_data_fields="airport_code name" ] A page will then display which contains a form that lets us edit this record. When you submit the form, IC will update the DB record. 5. Set data restrictions. ------------------------- [table-editor] lets you perform data validation. Let's require the 'name' value. [table-editor href=process mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@ table=airport_codes key="JAX" ui_data_fields="airport_code name" check.name = "required Please enter a location name" ] 6. Customize the table layout. ------------------------------- [table-editor] features some nifty features. If your table includes more than just a few fields, it's going to start looking very unfriendly. You can break up the table using ui_break_before. This option inserts a colored band before a specified field. And, using ui_break_before_label, you can insert a nice section heading. In this example I will insert a break before each field: [table-editor href=process mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@ table=airport_codes key="JAX" ui_data_fields="airport_code name" check.name = "required Please enter a location name" ui_break_before = "airport_code name" ui_break_before_label = "airport_code=Airport Code,name=Airport Name" ] You will also notice a row of buttons at the TOP of your table. This might be unwanted. To turn them off, use no_top: [table-editor href=process mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@ table=airport_codes key="JAX" ui_data_fields="airport_code name" check.name = "required Please enter a location name" ui_break_before = "airport_code name" ui_break_before_label = "airport_code=Airport Code,name=Airport Name" no_top=1 ui_display_only="property_id" ] To turn off the display of the key field, use ui_hide_key: [table-editor href=process mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@ table=airport_codes key="JAX" ui_data_fields="airport_code name" check.name = "required Please enter a location name" ui_break_before = "airport_code name" ui_break_before_label = "airport_code=Airport Code,name=Airport Name" no_top=1 ui_display_only="property_id" ui_hide_key=1 ] You can also create wizards with [table-editor]. For information, take a look at the wizard directory under the admin pages. step_company.html will get you started. At the end of this page you'll find all of the options for [table-editor]. Many of them are self-explanatory. 7. Edit mv_metadata for your new table. --------------------------------------- If you want your table to look nice, you'll need to forray into mv_metadata. Don't groan, it's not so bad. We'll just do two things with it: one practical, the other practical too. First, we'll apply labels to the fields. This makes them look pretty. Second, we'll use the contents of a table to pull in options for a <select> HTML tag. 1. Pretty Labels If you haven't already, create a mv_metadata entry for your table. Go to Administration > Tables > mv_metadata > New Entry. In the first box, code (labelled 'Table::Column'), enter the name of your table. Under 'label', enter the label you would like for this field. For example: Table::Column new_table Label A New Table 2. Happy Select Boxes Let's say we want to let the user specify and airport_code in their userdb. Assume we've made the necessary modifications to userdb. If we want to pull in the values in our airport_codes table for our select box, we would modify userdb::airport_code in mv_metadata like so: Table::Column userdb::airport_code Type Select Box Lookup Table airport_codes Label Preferred Airport Lookup Select airport_code,name The last entry, Lookup Select, tells table_editor the values to pull out of airport_code for our select. Remeber, select only takes two items: the "value" and the "label". The value is what goes into the database, the label is what shows up in the dropdown. In the Lookup Select field, the first item becomes the value, the second becomes the label. In our example, the database records "JAX" when the user selects "Jacksonville, FL". Don't forget to "apply changes" after you made your modifications. Otherwise, mv_metadata will. Good luck! ******************************************* ALL OPTIONS: [table-editor table=ic_table cgi=1* item-id="key" across=n* noexport=1* wizard=1* next_text='Next -->'* cancel_text='Cancel'* back_text='<-- Back'* hidden.formvarname="value" item_id_left="keys remaining" mv_blob_field=column* mv_blob_nick=name* mv_blob_pointer="current name"* mv_blob_label="Label text" mv_blob_title="Title HTML" ui_break_before="field1 field2" ui_break_before_label="field1=Label 1, field2=Label 2" ui_data_fields="field1 field2 fieldn ..."* ui_data_fields_all=1* ui_display_only="no_set_field"* ui_hide_key=1* ui_meta_specific=1* ui_meta_view="viewname" ui_nextpage="next_destination" ui_prevpage="back_destination" ui_return_to="cancel_destination" ui_new_item=1* ui_sequence_edit=1* ui_clone_id="key" ui_clone_tables="table1 table2 ..." ui_delete_box=1* mv_update_empty=0* widget.field="select|text|any ic widget" label.field="Field Label" help.field="Help text" help-url.field="http://url/to/more/help" default.field="preset value"* override.field="forced value"* filter.field="filter1 filter2" pre-filter.field="filter1 filter2" error.field=1* height.field=N _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com http://interchange.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Stefan Hornburg Racke) Date: Fri Oct 5 12:15:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Documentation search: table_editor and soap Kaare Rasmussen <kar@kakidata.dk> writes: > I have a very good idea that these features can help me with my Freemoney > project, but all searches for any documentation turns up nothing. > > Is it correct that there is none?

ReiserFS is just another file system you may choose from. You can just as easily use Interchange on ReiserFS, ext2, ext3, NFS, and many other file systems. Interchange doesn't have any specific reliance on a particular file system aside from the normal requirements for file security permissions. But, you ask if the existence of a ReiserFS partition will affect temp and session files. This can't be adequately determined by your question alone. ReiserFS may affect the performance of writing, reading or otherwise accessing these files (either a positive or negative performance impact) but this is extremely dependent on your hardware, the file system you're comparing ReiserFS against, etc. This should be of little if no concern. -- Jeff Carnahan - jcarnahan@networq.com From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Andreas, Scott) Date: Fri Oct 5 13:47:00 2001 Subject: [ic] MS SQL as backend check out www.freetds.org they have a cure for what ails ya -----Original Message----- From: francisv@dagupan.com [mailto:francisv@dagupan.com] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 6:03 PM To: interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com Subject: [ic] MS SQL as backend Hi, Is there a HOWTO for using Microsoft SQL as backend for Interchange?

In perl/DBI/UNIX that is going to cause confusion and clashes with reserved words and functions that might not be what you want. I think IC does everything you want already if you just add the field and reload. You might also look at AUTOLOAD if you need this in each page setup.

Hum. I used something like [perl ...] $gid = $Tag->Data(get-gid things) && $Tag->Set("gid", $gid) && ""; [/perl] Another detail: (this is all just playing around, but). First I checked [if scratch gid], and look up from the DB only if unset. By this, I found that the gid "survives" logout (the one from the foundation demo).

It was suppose to be backwards compatible. It is for the most part with exception to the many modifications we've had to make including redoing our authorize.net integration. Don't get me wrong, I'm not tying to bitch. I love IC and admire the hard work behind it. Not all of us are long time linux programmers and have learned IC by diving in head first like many of you. I do however need to know how to setup encryption on my RH 7.0 machine running IC 4.8 because no one seems to know how to revert it back to showing the CC info w/o encryption for my older catalogs. Issue # 1 - Does anyone have a how-to for setting up encryption or showing the CC info in the store owners e-mail without it. Issue # 2 - About a month ago I sent a message to the list about setting up some custom pricing and, based on the response I received, I set up a MFG price in the Price field and the price I want to sell for in the Q2 field. I then set the PriceField to read Q2 in the catalog.cfg file. Needless to say, no dice. I want to read the actual sell price from the q2 field for the cart and checkout sections. I want to use the values in Price as a manufacturer list price for display only. If some one has done something similar please share it with us on the list so it can be included with the docs.

If I manually add mv_auto_export=tablename to the resulting html it works fine. I do not have noexport set btw.

In 4.6.5 there are a few files in the default db that need to be exported if you are going to work outside of the user interfaces. I am finding that area.txt and cat.txt usually need to be exported and manipulated manually in order to get the pages to come up correctly. If I leave the sort order and displays to the UI, they don't get displayed the way that I was trying for. The user database also needs to be exported in order for me to see the users password when I need to log in as the customer to enter an order - usually because the customer refuses to upgrade their browser in order to deal with my 128-bit security. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Friday, October 05, 2001 at 19:20 PM: Save the whales.

Various parts of it are available in different ways. $Vend::Session->{values} can be manipulated directly by form input. Other objects, like @{$Vend::Session->{carts}{$cart}} are inaccessible except through ic processes. Scratch and some other hashes are aggregates that are passed through Safe, usually as "flattened" attributes, eg you can get all the scratch space, or all the values, etc... but I don't believe there is a standard tag to pass the whole session through Safe. (Someone correct me if that is wrong.) Think of it as partitioning and shorthand. All of these are clumped into session hash because that how ic saves state call to call. Most people don't go at it in raw perl, but with tags, so the underlying architecture of session is usually both hidden and simplified. cfm > > oki, > > Steffen > > -- > Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, > es tr?gt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel. > _______________________________________________ > interchange-users mailing list > interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com > http://interchange.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users -- Christopher F.

When I have a hash index on a row, the database fetches the record directly on a "where id = value". But when interchange ommits the WHERE clause and compares id for each returned row, the complete table gets copied over the network on each access. Since the behavoir of the comparision between the database and interchange differs, I'm afraid that interchanges fetches all records always when useing a search.

If you wish to use the search instead of a direct query, then you should use the mv_like_field/lf and mv_like_spec/ls selection, or use a coordinated search with a simple eq or ne comparison, i.e. [loop search=" fi=products st=db co=yes sf=category se=[cgi category] op=eq sf=other_field se=[cgi some_search_spec] "] This now does the query select * from products where category = '[cgi category]' to get the initial set of records to further filter with the Interchange search. [loop search=" fi=products st=db lf=title ls=hammer sf=other_field se=[cgi some_search_spec] "] gets its initial record set with the query select * from products where title like 'hammer' If you want to further use the DB, you must formulate the query yourself and submit it with [query list=1 ...]. Of course most things that you can do with Interchange's search you can do directly with SQL, usually faster. The main advantage of the Interchange method is its ability to operate the same on DBM, LDAP directories, varied SQL databases, and random text files, Glimpse indexes, and Verity collections. So if you do it with Interchange and change DBs from Postgres to MySQL, for the most part the change will be transparent. With small tables and non-busy stores the deviation in performance is trivial; with large tables and busy sites it would pay to tune your SQL and use [query ....]. Part of the Interchange method comes from the fact that it was doing searches before DBI was around. 8-) If I was writing the IC database searching stuff today, I would probably use an extended SQL approach that was based on DBI. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. -- Longfellow From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Jason Miller) Date: Sat Oct 6 16:22:00 2001 Subject: [ic] I just need 2 custom fields @ check out The cart is great, we love it.

I'm instead suggesting that 1) you do not have a group_id == 0 because unless/if($group_id) returns differently than where group_id >0, pathological case. 2) that your valid groups match some sort of a largish pattern rather than /^\d+$/ Both of those will make your testing easier and more reliable.

I haven't had much luck saying "never make this page static". Also, the logic for determining what to make static and what to make dynamic is voodoo to me. It also seems like you get "lost" sometimes on the site. What I mean is that you get a batch of pages created static; but somewhere there's a link to the dynamic one. Once you follow that link to the dynamic page, the static pages are lost to you. What would be nice is to be able to say, "make these and only these pages static". Also, that list isn't remembered from admin session to session. It would be nice if that list were stored somewhere. However, occationally I know there's just one page that needs regenerating. I would like to be able to say, "i know there are lots of pages that should be made static; but just do this one page" Another nice feature would be to just dump the index.html into the docroot. Ok, one more and I thnk I'm done. It would be nice to have an admin UI page that setup a cron job for regenerating pages on a regular basis. BTW, all of http://www.lathi.net is IC served pages. I try to generate as much of it static as I can. If you want to see the code and try and determine why what's made static I'd be happy to share. -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug@lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait.

If you have StaticDBM set to something in catalog.cfg, a DBM file with the static settings is created. Then if you have "Static Yes" in your catalog.cfg, static pages should get static links. > However, occationally I know there's just one page that needs > regenerating.

If you set "force build" to that page only, and "entry page" to that page, and level to 1, it should do just that. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> If you like what you're gettin', keep doin' what you're doin'. -- Hector From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Desjardins, Ray) Date: Mon Oct 8 12:43:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Problem with e-mail I am running Solaris 8.

Hello list, I have a IC 4.8.2 (CVS today) perl 5.6.1, RaqXTR RH6.x, and GDBM. Eberything in the Admin section works properly except for the Orders Section under Reports. The transaction log, should have over three months, and around 500 orders worth of data, however, when you click on "Overall by Month" (FYI it has no affiliates, so it's listed as "None") I get one month up to 50 orders, never more than 50, it doesn't matter if there are more than 50 order for that month, it will only show 50. I have attached three files. (in order of ByAffiliate.html, Monthly.html, Detail.html) Start off with ByAffiliate.html you'll notice that in only shows August 2001 (I should see August, Sept, and Oct) and that the orders add up to 50. Then take a look at Monthly.html you'll see that it starts off with the 21st of August, which is the day that it went live. and goes to the end of the month. The "Number of Orders" adds up to 50 however, If you then pick a day, (In the example "Details.html is August 28 which should have 6 orders according to Monthly.html) but it actually has 8 orders (Which I confirmed by separate DB look up) I have exported transactions.gdbm to transactions.txt, deleted the .gdbm file, and let it recreate the gdbm file from the txt file, same results. Grepped though the catalog directory to find if There is some arbitrary Match limit for Reporting no luck. I search through the actual UI reports/orders files, and can't find anything to indicate that there is a limit. I enabled the Log("query returned " . $Tag->uneval( {ref => $Tmp->{main} } )); line in ByAffiliate, and the search results it, only return the 21-31 of August I tried changing (see the commented section) the query code on the page [query st=db table=transactions hashref=main [comment] sql=" select affiliate, campaign, total_cost, order_date from transactions WHERE deleted != '1' "] [/comment] sql=" select affiliate, campaign, total_cost, order_date from transactions WHERE deleted != '1' [scratch date_limit] [scratch synd_limit] order by affiliate, campaign, order_date "][/query] Which will result in all three months showing up, but the order total will still only add up to 50. Reporting by the other options also, the number of orders, will *always* add up to 50 orders, unless you limit your search to a date range that you know has less than 50 orders. PS I have the exact same (CVS This morning) RPM version running on a different box (RH7.1, PGSQL 7.1.2, perl 5.6.1) The reporting sections run perfectly on that one.

Is there a separate > MatchLimit for the admin UI? If so, where would I modify it? You must be using DBM, which is not at all recommended for this. Normally query returns more results (when it is SQL), but there is a matchlimit default in the Vend::DbSearch used for DBM types. You should really, really, either switch to SQL or use another method of reporting. If your number of orders gets into the thousands with DBM, it will take forever to build the report. We strongly recommend using SQL for the userdb, orderline, and transactions tables of any busy system. That being said, I have added ml=100000 to each of those queries and it will be there in the next release.

I have created a site that has one database but many different faces depending on the affiliate, up till now there was a central fulfillment house but that has now changed and I need to create different shipping tables for each affiliate. I should point out that I *do not* wish to have separate shops at this time, this is part of a long term strategy that in the future will allow the sharing of shops contents betwixt several shops using a switch in the affiliates db so that they can be independent or part of a mall. Order routing was easy enough to implement, but the shipping has got me stumped, if any one has any suggestions / pointers that would help kick start me off in the right direction I would be very very grateful.

No matter what I try to search on ... even single terms like order and interchange I get (0) zero results. In any case, here is the question. I would like certain items in my stores to automatically include another item when ordered. This would serve to purposes for me. 1) Some of our parts require the charge of a deposit. As an example, a bottle of pop. I would like Interchange to say: when part number pepsi2liter is ordered add the item tencntdeposit to the cart. In our case we have a core charge on major engine parts. So when someone orders a rebuild alternator we would like to automatically add to their cart an item called Core Charge Deposit for $350.00 2) If figured we could also use this to add specific parts to an order as a promotion. Buy a case of filters ... and it will add another filter to the order (with a special part number) at no charge. In either case, can anyone point me to a model, email discussion or documentation about how this may have been accomplished in the past?

A look at Order.pm and Cart.pm suggests that the code is still there. Here is the doc section for Order Groups; good luck! Order Groups MiniVend allows you to group items together, making a master item and sub-items. This can be used to delete accessories or options when the master item is deleted. In its simplest form, you order just one master item and all subsequent items are sub-items. <FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo ACTION=refresh> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_group VALUE="1"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="00-0011"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="00-0011a"> <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Order the Mona Lisa with frame"> </FORM> If you wish to stack more than one master item, then you must define mv_order_group for all items, with either a 1 value (master) or 0 value (sub-item).

Use radio groups or select/drop-down buttons. The attributes mv_mi and mv_si are set to the group and sub-item status of each item. The group, contained in the attribute mv_mi, is a meaningless yet unique integer. All items in a group will have the same value of mv_mi. The attribute mv_si is set to 0 if the item is a master item, and 1 if it is a sub-item. - Ed L. New Media E.M.S.

I've seen some cool IC sites, though. You guys ROCK! The site is up and running but I've run in to that nasty snag where we can't get IC to communicate with Authorize.net. I've searched through the list and came up with an excellent post (Thanks Jud!) http://developer2.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/2001/msg02480.html The article explains all, except.... We're using LiquidWeb as a hosting site. The authorizenet module is not installed, or if it is, I can't find it. The site adminds refuse to update or install that module for me. How does one install the [src/interchange]/eg/globalsub/authorizenet module to your local account? I don't have permissions to install the RPM's. If one must compile and install IC locally, I'd appreciate it if someone would give me a hand with the config file. I know at least two users on LiquidWeb have this software installed on their local accounts. I know it can be done, I just haven't figured out how yet. Once I can get the modules installed locally, I think I'm home free! Any help from you all would be greatly appreciated.

It works fine for me with the patch, essentially the same code (sku / description instead of code / name). I am guessing that your "order by name" is not working how you think....or that there is something the matter with mc=1. Try removing that.

Last time I looked, this was optional at Authorizenet. I believe that you can set this url to whatever you wish (does not even need to reflect a "real" page) IE: www.mydomain.com/junk.html Then in IC for valid referer you would put in the same url, then when ic communicates to Authorizenet it will claim to be coming from this url so that Authorizenet will process the order.

Chris From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Mike Heins) Date: Tue Oct 9 21:19:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Secure server FAQs [monthly posting] These are the FAQs: Shopping cart is dropped when using SSL. 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. You can sometimes fix this with an httpd.conf change: SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. -- Dick Feynman From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Laura) Date: Tue Oct 9 21:21:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Authorize.net referer Thanks so much!

Your code would work great, but I'm trying to use the Alpha Numeric feature of the more list, that is, instead of displaying numbers for the more-list (previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 next), it would display (previous A B C D E F G next) However your reply did give me my needed insight/clue. Instead of using the [sql-param] tag, I switched it to [sql-field] Every thing works great now! Thanks everyone for the help and patience.

It would help much if we can pass the table names in a UserTag parameter, so the caller open's the tables. Ciao Racke -- Racke happily hacks Interchange and maintains Debian packages like Courier.

I've removed the Vend::Order::encrypt_standard_cc call, and have changed [perl]...[/perl] by &calc=<<EOF ... EOF. I still have problems though, because I have a lot more of code which gets trapped by Safe::Hole, concretely calls to Digest::MD5 and LWP. I've moved all of this to globalsubs and included them from the main /etc/interchange.cfg file, but when I call one of the subs, I get something like: process Safe: Undefined subroutine &MVSAFE94805::calc_md5 called at (eval 257) line 40.

I have viewed the Usertag docs on table_organize at RedHat (http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev-4.8/ictags_124.html). I searched google for table-organize. I have grepped interchange for same. Permissions are correct (interch.interch) for table_organize. I have restarted interchange (/etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange restart).

The URL is http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schlüssel (Schlüssel = Schluessel with german umlaut u" like ü = key) With NS under WIN 2K, typing the URL http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schlüssel into the URL bar, the URL bar is changing to http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schl%C3%BCssel suddenly and no items can't be found. The right URL should be as http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schl%FCssel and some items can be found. If I type the URL into the URL bar of IE, the URl bar is not changing. But I get ---- snip ---- Kategorie: Flur > SchlÃ¼sselringe & -anhÃ¤nger Zur Zeit Keine Artikel in SchlÃ¼sselringe & -anhÃ¤nger ---- snip ---- Back to NS under WIN, if I press the link "Flur" in the left menu bar, some items can be found and the results page is correct. The word "Schlüsselringe" is changing to "Schl%FCsselringe" in the URL bar of NS (WIN) and this is correct. But with IE under WIN, the word "Schlüsselringe" is not changing and I get a "SchlÃ¼sselringe" in my results page. I've teste any URL via scan for a word with german Umlaut to get a list of known items in several Site with MV4.04 and IC 4.6.5! Only NS for UNIX get a right list of items. With NS for WIN, NS don't get a list of items, if I write the URL into the URL bar directly. But get a right list, if the excact same URL is anywhere in a page as a link.

Hi all, Running Interchange 4.8.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and PostgreSQL I am having a problem with my log file growing too large, so that the reports that are run show corrupt data.

Ok, I'm dumb, it was a problem with my logrotation cron job, now, why can I not get interchange to report using the rotated logs also. So, I have rotated log files, but if I try to report on those months, it does not look at the usertrack.nn files. Any help much appreciated.

Fact is, a significant number of people still use modems. One of Yahoo's secrets of success is the small HTML size of their pages. Have you ever looked at their site and its paths? Most everything is one and two letters, and they avoid quoting HTML parameters wherever possible. For Interchange, it has to stay connected long enough for the HTML pipeline to finish between it and the browser. The smaller the page, the shorter that connection. So it is arguable that the biggest thing you can do for performance is decrease the verbosity of your page, file, and path names. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> Prove you aren't stupid.

Basically, I need multiple prices for one sku; with a twist. Each price will have the following components: Base Price, quantity discount prices, and early bird discount. EB Discount is a timed discount based on the built timed promotions. The early bird discount would be different for each pricing level. eg, Base EB Discount Misc. Quantity Discounts One Day 100 10 q1, q5, q6, q10 etc Two Day 190 25 q1, q5, q6, q10 etc Three Day 250 40 q1, q5, q6, q10 etc The EB Discount is not any based on any derivable formula. Would I be better off NOT using commonadjust for this, and instead having a 1:N relationship between a product, and the pricing table? This would allow for me to have any number of pricing schemes (with ALL pricing options) for a single product.

You might want to consider sticking with CommonAdust, and possibly: a)writing a usertag for use with the CommonAdjust chain http://developer2.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/2001/msg05636.html b)using an item modifier to handle the Early bird discounting; Get the Minivend 4.x tar.gz from ftp.akopia.com and read the sections on CommonAdjust and Item Attributes. - Ed L. =============================================================== New Media E.M.S.

Interchange is perfect, we love it. However, it lacks one key feature we need. We need to have a drop down menu on the main page where the user selects there car make, such as Ford or Chevy. Next, we need a page to open up where the user selects the model, such as Explorer or Escape. After that, we need all the parts/acessories for that make/model to show up, such as Exterior Acessories and Interrior. Interchange's foundation store doesn't appear to allow us to do this. So, is this possible? A store that is doing it (Not sure what cart but they are doing something similar to us is www.jcwhitney.com). How hard would this be to do in interchange? Any of you guys willing to do it and we will pay you?

(I hate having stuff that I dont know how it works) This particular question was motivated by the whole dropped shopping carts and sessions issue...NOTE: I am not asking about how to get this working etc... I am of the opinion that shared SSL is not the best approach for Interchange and if it's not going to work why bust your boiler trying to get it going for the sake of a few bucks... Anyway, my question is: whereabouts is the querystring (appended by [area] for example) generated and parsed - in particular where is the id=<session id> removed / made unavailable. I found a lot of interesting bits like sub adjust_cgi() on line 1577 of /bin/interchange and it's callers. Also many cool little bits in the /Vend/Session*.pm modules. The closest I seem to have come the are the bits involving $Vend::FinalPath although this would appear to me to be after the Querystring / $CGI::values{id} have been parsed...again mostly interested in the session id value.

Actually this is done in Vend::Util::vendUrl as called by Vend::Interpolate::tag_area(). If you (or anyone else) is interested in perusing the path things take for a transaction, it basically goes: Startup: Entry point is bin/interchange Parses options, if any initializations, i.e. read interchange.cfg, catalog.cfg, and friends, possibly opening some database tables onces to read structures calls Vend::Server::run_server() Daemonizes IC calls Vend::Server::server_both Lots of junk in spawning various types of servers.... Running: Server loop is in Vend::Server::run_server and followed-down routines Server calls Vend::Server::connection(), which does the CGI stuff, then calls main::dispatch($http), where $http is the CGI and environment stuff main::dispatch does all of the session/database opening, parsing of path, determining action. Normal action is to serve a page, the entry point for that is Vend::Interpolate::interpolate_html as called by Vend::Page::do_page() Vend::Interpolate::interpolate_html creates a new Vend::Parse object, which parses the IC page and executes any tags. This is frequently done elsewhere, such as in profiles, process FormAction, and ActionMap, and in any place where ITL needs to be interpreted. Exiting: Server children block all signals when running a connection. When it comes back from a page, it will receive TERM and terminate; usually that is sent by the master server which will always accept a TERM or HUP except when actually forking the children.

For Interchange 4.8 (and later 4.7.x) I will have a UI to help do this. The thing I like best is to create a new *shipping* method and add tax with mv_handling. I will probably be using this method. The quick and dirty way is to write a UserTag which does it and then include that in salestax.asc. UserTag vat-calc Order table field UserTag vat-calc addAttr UserTag vat-calc Routine <<EOR sub { my ($table, $field, $opt) = @_; my $error = sub { my $msg = shift; Log($msg); return undef; }; my $tax = 0; foreach my $item (@$Vend::Items) { my $taxrate = tag_data($table, $field, $item->{code}); $tax += ($taxrate * $item->{quantity}); } return $tax; } EOR (If you put the above in your catalog.cfg instead of interchange.cfg, you will have to make sure you have referenced the products table before you call it.) Now this in salestax.asc: default [vat-calc products tax] UK [vat-calc products tax] FR [vat-calc products tax] US 0 and this in catalog.cfg: SalesTax country should do it. You can also key it on category if you want, simply by creating a "tax" table and using: AutoModifier products:category Now use $item->{category} to key into the table for getting the tax rate by percentage of price. (Obviously you will have to calculate the price somehow, but that is not too difficult depending on your CommonAdjust definition.)

You didn't follow the example exactly -- a "my $tax = 0" is missing. In any case, this is all moot in 4.8. The new "multi" mode that you can configure will work best. Here is a short tutorial on using it for Canada. 1. Make sure you have a country database table with CA as an entry and the following values: code:CA tax:state 2. Make sure you have a state database table and one entry for each province code. It should have something like the following for each province: code|sorder|country|state|name|tax|postcode|shipmodes|tax_name 00185|01|CA|AB|Alberta|default=15%|||PST 00187|01|CA|MB|Manitoba|default=16%%, food=8%|||GST 00039|01|CA|AB|Alberta|default=16%%|||GST 00040|01|CA|BC|British Columbia|default=15%||| 00041|01|CA|MB|Manitoba|default=14%|||PST 00042|01|CA|NB|New Brunswick|default=14%|| 00043|01|CA|NF|Newfoundland|default=15%||| 00044|01|CA|NS|Nova Scotia|default=15%||| 00045|01|CA|NT|Northwest Territories|default=15%||| 00046|01|CA|NT|Nunavut|default=15%||| 00047|01|CA|ON|Ontario|default=15%||| 00048|01|CA|PE|Prince Edward Island|default=15%||| 00049|01|CA|QC|Quebec|default=15%||| 00050|01|CA|SK|Saskatchewan|default=15%||| 00051|01|CA|YT|Yukon Territory|default=15%||| The "default=N%" should be equal to PST + GST for each province. If you want to tax diffent categories different amounts, use the tax_category field in products to set it. In this case, if the tax_category field is "food", and the province is MB, it would cause only GST to be charged. 3. In catalog.cfg: SalesTax multi 4. Restart. There is a UI interface for all of this; if you have SalesTax set to "multi" it will provide some tools for setting the above. -- Red Hat, Inc., 3005 Nichols Rd., Hamilton, OH 45013 phone +1.513.523.7621 <mheins@redhat.com> Fast, reliable, cheap.

I would recommend creating a file in usertags directory. Any time you see a subroutine failed compilation: error, that most likely means that you screwed up in your perl code. To test your perlcode, take your usertag file (assuming it is in a file called tagname.tag and not in interchange.cfg or catalog.cfg) and comment out all of the UserTag lines and the opening sub { and closing } and the EOR lines. next run perl -c on tagname.tag (-c checks syntax) If there is an error, fix it, and then you can uncomment all of the Interchange specific lines that you had just commented out.

Interchange is perfect, we love it. However, it lacks one key feature we need. We need to have a drop down menu on the main page where the user selects there car make, such as Ford or Chevy. Next, we need a page to open up where the user selects the model, such as Explorer or Escape. After that, we need all the parts/acessories for that make/model to show up, such as Exterior Acessories and Interrior. Interchange's foundation store doesn't appear to allow us to do this. So, is this possible? A store that is doing it (Not sure what cart but they are doing something similar to us is www.jcwhitney.com). How hard would this be to do in interchange? Any of you guys willing to do it and we will pay you? If you want to possibly do this as a paying job, please e-mail me privately at jasonmiller@ureach.com -- Thanks and I hope to hear some feedback. ---- Jason Miller, CTO GMpower.net Phone: 703.675.3506 _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com http://interchange.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Steffen Dettmer) Date: Fri Oct 12 12:49:00 2001 Subject: [ic] How to use the [error] tag correctly? * Stefan Hornburg (Racke) wrote on Fri, Oct 12, 2001 at 17:39 +0200: > You can try the formel usertag to write shorter code in such pages.

There was the following problem: No action passed for processing Note on common causes of this problem: · If you bookmarked a shopping cart after it had been recalculated (or if the item was ordered from a form submission), then the system may not have been able to determine where it should go. If that is the case, · check your shopping basket. · Some Internet Service Providers who use proxy servers send you to a secure page from a different net location (AOL is an example). If your browser does not accept · cookies, then this software may not be able to determine your session number -- it qualifies your session with your location for security. If you go back to a previous page and RELOAD with cookies enabled, then this condition should be corrected. You can verify that we send a proper cookie if you turn on the cookie warning feature of your browser. Typically, we will save cookies only if you check a box that asks us to save your information. You can also try looking at the checkout page non-securely, though we don't recommend you send sensitive information like a credit card number without encryption. & · If you pressed the STOP button before the last form finished loading, there may have been an incomplete form.

Check the Interchange error.log for the most recent block of startup messages and see if it reports any problems with regards to the tutorial catalog.

The dirty quick solution was a writing an usertag to encode a part of the url like [myurlencode][loop-code][/myurlencode] with UserTag newurlencode hasEndTag 1 UserTag newurlencode Interpolate 1 UserTag newurlencode Routine <<EOF sub { my ($url) = @_; my ($url) = @_; $url =~ s/ü/\%FC/g; # u with two dots above ....and so on return $url; } EOF to prevent the misbehavior of the IE Browser. It is for the old MV shop. In IC, you can use the filter tag like [filter op=urlencode interpolate=1] Test ü [/filter] Regarding writing bugs to Microsoft (MS) ...are you so kind to report the misbehavior of IE to MS? I fear that MS will not understand me right, because my english is not well! ciao Joachim -- Hans-Joachim Leidinger | Dipl.-Phys.Ing.

Not with "scan" in a area tag! But with <a href="[area search=' se=[loop-field name] ' ]">[loop-field name]</a> (answer and hint of Mike Heins). It works! It it better, because you can find an items, which contains "/" in a a field. With a scan in an area tag, you will get a "not found" message. ciao Joachim -- Hans-Joachim Leidinger | Dipl.-Phys.Ing.

This directive adds an action, which will activate cgi-script when action-type is triggered by the request. The action-type can be either a handler or a MIME content type. It sends the URL and file path of the requested document using the standard CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables. It seems that it should be possible just chose some arbitrary file suffix, .icn for instance, and then set an action for parsing those files through IC. Instead of having .html files, you would have .icn files. This means that you could avoid having the http://store/cgi-bin/blah/ type urls, and avoid using the IC module. Action interchanged-parsed /cgi-bin/ic.cgi AddHandler interchange-parsed .icn References: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/handler.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_actions.html I haven't tested this yet (still not done reconfiguring webserver), but it seems like it should work fine.

I am Dr. finione the Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS) with Headquarters in Lome, Togo. I got your information in a business directory from the Togolaise Chamber of Commerce and Industries when I was searching for a reliable, honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with. I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and lists in the directory. After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues, they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business USD25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five Million United States Dollars only) into your personal or companyÂ’s bank account. This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the supply of ammunitions, hard/soft wares, pharmaceuticals/medical items, light and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other administrative logistics etc. for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the peace keeping projects. This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off. As the Chairman of CAC, I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation. We arranged and over invoiced the Contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa. This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and asporous political nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duly paid by the Banque Centrale Des Etats De LÂ’Afrique De LÂ’Ouest (Central Bank of the West African States) through our bankers-Societe Generale banque. This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice. We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organisation is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved. Based on the laws and ethics of employment, we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.. This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise, assistance and partnership in your country. It is however agreed, as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30% of the entire sum as compensation, 65% will be held on trust for us while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation. You should provide the followings; YOUR COMPANYÂ’S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS, TEL AND FAX NUMBERS, (If available). THE NAME OF YOUR BANK, ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL, FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER. THE COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. Upon the receipt of this information, the documents and approval with the texts will be sent to you for confirmation and then forwarded to the organisation for ratification and subsequent payment. As with the case of all organised (sensitive) and conspired DEALS, we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards. There are no risks involved. The reply must be through this e-mail box only. REPLY ASAP. With regards.

Not what your hoping for, I'm afraid. $0 is a special Perl variable in which the program "remembers" it's own name; the interchange program just sets it to something more meaningful than 'perl', and it looks like you can define an global variable MV_DOLLAR_ZERO in interchange.cfg if you want to give it a name of your own: Variable MV_DOLLAR_ZERO ic_shop ...and now if you do a ps the interchange process should show up as 'ic_shop' instead of 'interchange'.

Maybe a wrong setting of MMLogin? If you submit the form, IC try to do this submitting by the setting of MMLogin. So I believe, there is an error anywhere in MMLogin.

I've changed my GlobalSubs to UserTags, but I am STILL having problems :) While I've successfully created an MD5 calculator tag, I have another one which tries to post a form to a given URL. This is very similar to the get_url tag in the usertag/ directory, but I need the POST method not GET, and I would like to obtain the HTTP code and message to check for errors too. I call this tag web-service: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UserTag web-service Order url code message UserTag web-service addAttr UserTag web-service Documentation <<EOD usage: $Tag->web_service($url, $code, $message, $params) EOD UserTag web-service Routine <<EOR sub { my ($url, $code, $message, $data) = @_; eval { require LWP::UserAgent; require HTTP::Request::Common; }; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $req = HTTP::Request::Common::POST $url, $data; my $response = $ua->request($req); $code = $response->code; $message = $response->message; return $response->content; } EOR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As I'm using some of the tag parameters to return data, I think this tag is little suitable for the ITL syntax [web-service url="..." etc.], but this poses no problem for me because I'm going to call it from [perl] through the $Tag hash.

I think the 'line 3' refers to some piece of code deep inside the guts of the HTTP::Request::Common::POST subroutine, because the trap occurs there. But... Am I not supposed to be able to do whatever I want from a global UserTag routine? I'm confused.

Seems to me you want system. Then call it as an external process. That will be easier to manage, debug and maintain. Depends also on how often this will be called. Isn't there a [perl allowglobal=1] or some such? Alternatively, what we've done here is create a variant on [perl] tag in Interpolate.pm that does NOT use Safe; we make heavy use of system calls and external scripts. If you know how to write that you are aware of the downside; it's not a useful or recommended approach for typical catalog. :-) YMMV, cfm > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > > As I'm using some of the tag parameters to return data, I think this tag is > little suitable for the ITL syntax [web-service url="..." etc.], but this > poses no problem for me because I'm going to call it from [perl] through the > $Tag hash. > > If I put a call in a blank page, for example > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > [perl] $Tag->web_service("www.google.com/search", > $code, > $msg, > { 'q' => 'search something for me' }) > [/perl] > >>>>>>>>>>>>>> > > Then, what I get is: > > "Safe: require trapped by operation mask at (eval 256) line 3." > > > I think the 'line 3' refers to some piece of code deep inside the guts of > the HTTP::Request::Common::POST subroutine, because the trap occurs there. > But...

I presume you're using the RPM version of Interchange 4.8.2. /usr/lib/interchange/interchange.cfg is just a symbolic link to /etc/interchange.cfg, so it doesn't matter which one you change. If makecat can't change /etc/interchange.cfg, it's probably because you're running makecat as the wrong user. Do it as user 'interch' and you should be ok, or 'root' if you want to rule out any user-permissions problems.

We are setting up customers and giving them the stock interchange foundation catalog. Before I go and modify the checkout pages myself, are there plans to reorganize the checkout process in the near future so that people do not end up being charged for shipping without knowing how much they are being charged? This happens when using UPS or FEDEX and the customer does not first create an account. I just didn't want to modify the stock foundation catalog if this was going to be rolled into it in the near future.

Please read: VEND_ROOT/lib/Vend/Payment/AuthorizeNet.pm to see the instructions for setting up AuthorizeNet with 4.8.x. After you have done so edit that same file and remove the '#' before each ::logDebug statement. Then set DEBUG to 1 in interchange.cfg. Try to check out and see what happens. If it does not work then open up /tmp/icdebug to see why Authorizenet is not working correctly. This should point you in the direction of how to solve your problem. Also once you get it working please put the '#' back in front of each ::logDebug statement so that the credit card numbers are not written to disk when your site goes live.

I would prefer not modifying the interchange server itself unless completely needed, because that means additional complexity on delivering the catalog: you have to patch into /usr/lib/interchange, also maintain patches according to the IC version, etc... The addition of new tags to /usr/lib/interchange/usertag is the maximum I can afford. And relating to the system calls, I will also prefer not calling any external process. This means taking care of additional security risks (escaping hazardous characters, etc.), and the least permissions I have to take care of, the best for the delivery process. Also, if the get-url tag uses LWP and works, why doesn't my tag using POST instead of GET have to work as well?

If the remote system doesn't allow you to specify the name of the variable, you can do: Variable MV_SESSION_ID sessionvar Then if a http://...../cat?sessionvar=XXXXXXXX comes in, it will be recognized. You can also make this global with: VarName sessionvar mv_session_id which will automagically translate sessionvar to mv_session_id at HTTP time.

Juckel) Date: Tue Oct 16 13:36:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Repeat Unanswered: Shopping Cart Component modification questions I posted a message on the mailing list a few weeks back asking about a problem I was having while trying to modify the shopping cart component. I received no reply and have since seen at least one other person ask a very similar question, again, receiving no reply. I just thought I would ask the question again, and share the information I have discovered since my initial post. First of all, the situation boils down to this: I am unable to change the component parameters for the shopping cart component delivered with foundation. I can change parameters for other components, and I can change the body of the cart component, but I cannot modify the parameters [comment].*[/comment]. I've saved and resaved the changes to the file templates/component/cart, I've restarted the interchange server. Heck, I've even since traced through and put debugging messages in interchange/lib/Vend/Util.pm and interchange/lib/UI/usertag/read_ui_template.tag to make sure that the code was reading the correct file. I can see the changes that I saved in the debugging messages, but I cannot see the effect of those changes on the Page Edit page within the interchange backend. My only guess is that there is some sort of caching or default behavior that I have to override, but I am completely unsure how. I've checked all the interchange documentation that I can find, and have spent hours looking over the code trying to trace the data from request to display, but I can find nothing amiss. I can find no reason for my changes not to be displayed. If anyone could give me some pointers on this, I would be most appreciative. Has anyone else run into this same problem? Have others modified their cart component without incident? Anything information could be helpful. Anthony W.

I think it would be the same for other database systems since the changes we needed to make were only for the values passed to the DBI.

There should be field called Hold_qty. Hence if an order is made the hold_qty field shuld be populated with the ordered qty. Which can always specify that a desired amount of quantity has been reserved in the inventory. However at the time of order processing the physical qty can be reduced to specify the allocated qty. when a specific order is cancelled or is deleted then the hold qty can be subtracted.

Seems to me that IC is not particularly useful where one does not need the daemon/session manager. Certainly the compile time is out of line for one-shot calls. I was under the impression that the SOAP API might provide such an external interface. We've not been able to play with that here, still stuck in 4.03. cfm -- Christopher F.

Joyce, This is a very open ended question, but for the sake of an example: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"></SCRIPT> <a href="[item-code]" onMouseOver="item_code('[item-code]')"> [item-code]</a> simply test via hard-coded (ie replace [item-code] above with 1234 for example) until the javascript works, then replace the [item-code]. Obviously [item-code] must be used within a context for which it is meant like a search or loop list see: http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev-4.8/ictags_3.html#sub_PREFIX-code Just remember you CAN use quotes within ic tags within javascript, because the parser will convert (hopefully ;-) your ic code into a value which will then be placed within the javascript code before the browser ever sees it.

Haven't done this yet 4.8 but I don't see why it wouldn't work the same as 4.6. You can easily set a different price field based on the locale setting. We added a field to the userdb which gets read at login and is used to SET LOCALE for that user. The PRICE FIELD is automatically set to the proper field and the user sees those prices. We use this so retail, wholesale and distributors may all order from the same site. I'm sure there are other ways to accomplish this, but this required the fewest changes and eliminates the need to make any changes to product display pages like results, fly page, basket or checkeout.

And you write that you don's use makecat to start a catalog from. What do you do instead?. I suspect that the properties of the server are set to execute script files only. Further there are some error messages during makecat. run "sh /home/users27/durmaz/catalogs/inet2/config/makedirs"? y chmod: /home/users27/durmaz/catalogs/inet2/logs: Operation not permitted chmod: /home/users27/durmaz/catalogs/inet2/orders: Operation not permitted chmod: /home/users27/durmaz/catalogs/inet2/session: Operation not permitted chmod: /home/users27/durmaz/catalogs/inet2/tmp: Operation not permitted The script "makecat" tries to set permissions to "2770". Which is not permitted as the message says. Is this the suexec connection? At the bottom you find the output of a sample.cgi script. I'm not sure that it is generated on exactly the same server as my account is running from.

It is. Allowing a runtime require is the one thing Safe::Hole can't help with.

Basically, I want the button to return the user to whichever catalog screen they were on last, rather than just redirecting them to the index page. To accomplish this, I've started by storing a session variable cur_search_string which contains, oddly enough, the search string that resulted in the current results page (which is what my catagory pages are). This seems to be storing just fine, but I'm having problems redirecting the [bounce] tag in the continue_shopping button. Basically, I have changed [bounce page=index] to [bounce href="[area interpolate=1 search="[data session cur_search_string]"]"], but bounce (or area) seems to be choking when area itself has an embedded tag. It works fine if area is a flat tag, but as soon as I embed another tag, I get redirected to an error page saying it can't find the page "[area. Anyone have any ideas? Anthony W.

Sure, but I'm sure Mike Heins' solution is probably better than mine. Looking this over again now after a couple of years, this could be cleaned up alot by using a little perl instead of mv tags. Not one to mess with success though on a lower traffic site... it'll stay this way for now. I added a field to the userdb database called "rate" to hold the locale information. In the products database I added two additional price columns called "wholesale" and "distributor". These fields obviously would hold the prices for those users. In the userdb you'll need to manually set rate to either, in our case, wsale or dsale.Just leave it blank for a default of retail pricing. I setup a dropdown with meta in the admin section to set each user. In catalog.cfg I added these lines: PriceField price Locale en_US PriceField price Locale wsale PriceField wholesale Locale dsale PriceField distributor Locale en_US price_picture "$ ###,###,###.##" Locale wsale price_picture "$ ###,###,###.##" Locale dsale price_picture "$ ###,###,###.##" At the top of the index.html page directly below the <body> tag, I added: [if session logged_in] [set name="proper_pricing" interpolate=1][data base="userdb" field="rate" key="[data session username]"][/set] [set name="proper_locale" interpolate=1][data base="userdb" field="rate" key="[data session username]"][/set] [else] [set proper_pricing]en_US[/set] [set proper_locale]en_US[/set] [/else] [/if] [if type=explicit compare="[calc] '[scratch mv_currency]' ne '[scratch proper_locale]'[/calc]" ] [setlocale locale="[scratch proper_pricing]" currency="[scratch proper_pricing]" persist=1] [/if] We force people back to the index page after login so the locale is set properly. This works fine on a ver 4.6 store, but I don't see why it wouldn't work in 4.8. When I do find the time to move this one into ver 4.8, I'll probably use the "profile" directive as Mike suggested as I would think it's much cleaner than this.

Its my experience from mail lists, that asking the same question in three different ways, will give you a complete answer. And so it did :-) I have now a good portion of material to work out a good solution: Yours, Mike Heins and "Jerry"s With these inputs I now see it possible to create the same shop in a couple of languages, with the currencies stick to the locale and possible convertions for prices with the calc method. In this way you can be a german affiliate who likes to pay in euro and reads german, or you can be a danish end customer, who likes to pay in kroner, but(!) wants to read in english. Ofcourse being a german, reading english and paying in mexican peso, should not be excluded! Namely, as Joachim shows it, that a currency should not be forced by a specific language just because the belong to the same category called locale. Thanks a lot guys!

Answer: Go to UPS and look at their format for the file What is the information in the file and how is it used? Answer: It is information which the shipping module uses to calculate shipping costs I think that was what Chad was asking for. This section of the documentation is pretty terse, considering how much making IC works requires a deep knowledge of how the data is stored and used.

During the makecat process, it asks you if you want to use an SQL database. You answer 1 to that. Then it will ask you if you use mySQL - just hit enter. Then enter 1 when it asks if you want to use PostreSQL. Also if you want your database to be on another server, you can put in a ;host=mydatabaseserver at the end of the DBI connect string, where mydatabaseserver is some machine other than your IC machine. When you start interchange for the first time after doing the makecat, it checks if the tables it needs are in the PostgreSQL database. If they aren't it creates them and populates them. The files it uses to do so are in <catroot>/dbconf/pgsql and have names like products.pgsql. Here is a list of the files: -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 114 Sep 7 14:10 2ndDayAir.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 114 Sep 7 14:10 Ground.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 114 Sep 7 14:10 NextDayAir.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 58 Sep 7 14:10 access.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 291 Sep 7 14:10 affiliate.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 471 Sep 7 14:10 area.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 461 Sep 7 14:10 cat.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 81 Sep 7 14:10 component.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 644 Sep 7 14:10 country.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 856 Sep 7 14:10 gift_certs.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 465 Sep 7 14:10 inventory.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 58 Sep 7 14:10 locale.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 654 Sep 7 14:10 merchandising.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 58 Sep 7 14:10 mv_metadata.dbm -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 1702 Sep 7 14:10 options.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 889 Sep 7 14:10 order_returns.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 1380 Sep 7 14:10 orderline.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 501 Sep 7 14:10 pgsql.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 900 Sep 7 14:10 pricing.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 1210 Sep 7 14:10 products.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 774 Sep 7 14:10 state.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 3256 Sep 7 14:10 transactions.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 3016 Sep 7 14:10 userdb.pgsql -rw-r--r-- 1 interch htdocs 58 Sep 7 14:10 variable.dbm Note that even if you do this, some things are still kept on the IC server, as mentioned in another post from me today.

And, I suspect that 4.8 is equally as functional. The customer needs to fill their shopping cart, go to the check out page, and to enter in their zip code and shipping method. At the bottom they can click on 'refresh' and get the shipping cost for what they have ordered. You will find (at least in Construct) that changing the country will cause a refresh. You can use that same code to force a refresh when they change the zip code. <rant mode on> I was running for a while letting people order without creating an account. I ended up with a lot of miscellaneous accounts that none of the customers could get into again, unless I went in and manipulated their account. So, they had no way to check up on their order. I found some code on this mailing list that forces them to log in. (Although I've not been able to get it fixed so that they go back to the page that they came from.) Logging in does not require any more information from them than it does to ship to them with an 'anonymous' account. Having an account (in construct) lets them see the status of their order, as well as to be able to see what they have ordered previously if they want to order that again, or to avoid that this time. <rant mode off> -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Wednesday, October 17, 2001 at 19:25 PM: I would jog, but the ice would fall out of my glass. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 95 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (George C.

When SSL_write is called again after SSL_ERROR_WANT_..., it must get exactly the same buffer because parts of the buffer contents may already have been encrypted and wait in interal buffers while others may not yet have been looked at. What's really important is that buffer *contents* stay the same, but as a sanity check to avoid application bugs the OpenSSL library checks whether the buffer *address* is not changed. This check can be disabled by setting SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER for that SSL object, using SSL_set_mode (or SSL_CTX_set_mode on the SSL_CTX before SSL_new is called). I don't know about Net::SSLeay, but it would not surprise me if the same string can be at a different memory location when SSL_write is called again. If so, look if SSL_set_mode is available; and you might want to ask the Net::SSLeay maintainers to consider always setting SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER if the library default doesn't work for it.

With regards to updating to the newest IC Version. Sometime it is cheaper to fix some IC server as soon as possible for our company or some customer want to stay to the current running IC server Version and don't want to update it. :-( Maybe this is strange for you.

As far as the document specifies it says that each and every item of an order are stored in the orderline table whereas a summary of the order is stored in the transactions table. I.e., There lies a one to many relation between the transactions and orderline wherein every parent record in the transaction table there is one or many child records available in the orderline table. I guess iam clear in my understanding. If not pls correct me. Well, my question is, if this is the case then how multiple shipping locations are taken care. Coz the current structure of the orderline table doesn't seem to have sufficient columns for the same. Moreover the demo avl (foundation catalog) seem to accept ship address for each and every item purchased, but at checkout it still asks for a shipping address.

From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (fctmaillist) Date: Fri Oct 19 02:29:00 2001 Subject: [ic] multiple shipping address Hi, Can someone plz clearly state me about the two database files namely transactions and Orderline. As far as the document specifies it says that each and every item of an order are stored in the orderline table whereas a summary of the order is stored in the transactions table. I.e., There lies a one to many relation between the transactions and orderline wherein every parent record in the transaction table there is one or many child records available in the orderline table. I guess iam clear in my understanding. If not pls correct me. Well, my question is, if this is the case then how multiple shipping locations are taken care. Coz the current structure of the orderline table doesn't seem to have sufficient columns for the same. Moreover the demo avl (foundation catalog) seem to accept ship address for each and every item purchased, but at checkout it still asks for a shipping address. Can someone plz do correct me if iam misunderstood ?? Thnx in advance.

Sometimes it is a little misteryous to me :) Joel, Unfortunately, IC is not simple to understand. If it were simple, it would not be powerful. A scooter is easy to use and easy to learn. It's uses are limited. Flying an airplane is difficult to do and difficult to learn. But, it's far more powerful and far more useful. IC is not a 'Plug 'n Play' program. IC takes work. Look at it like a very big box of Lego parts. You can take all of the pieces and make anything you want. Lego gives you a few ideas of things you can make with the parts. Lego takes a lot of work and imagination. With enough Lego parts you can make most anything you want! Including a department store! IC easily replicates each part as many times as you want. It has a tremendous set of various parts for you to apply your imagination to and to build what you want. But, you have to work at it. Just like you have to work at a Lego project. This mailing list is not going to hold your hand and build your store for you. However, if you will contact Akopia in Reston, VA, they will build your store for you - for a price. They are very competent, they are very helpful. You might want to hire them to help you get off on the right foot. The mailing list will supply you with answers to specific problems after you have exhausted the various resources, like the message base for this mailing list that goes back several years, various FAQ's that have been written to help people get through specific hurdles. Asking general questions here, especially questions that show that you have not done any research, will get ignored or very short answers. There are also several consultants on this mailing list that are quite competent at Interchange. Interchange is free. So, paying a consultant to help you get up and running still makes it a bargain.

So far it seems to be a wonderful project (product? I never know what to say... :) But. (There's always a but, isn't there?) I need some help with a few things. Firstly, I've installed the computer sample data and there's an Athlon system there with some options. As a customer, when should I see the options? From what I understand, it comes up when you go to checkout, but on my setup it doesn't. I've gone all the way through a transaction, and never seen them. And if I'm right about only getting the options during the checkout, is there a way to see the options before getting there -- to appease window shoppers? I've searched the mailing list archives to the best of my ability and only saw one query similar to this one, and the only answer I got to it wasn't very helpful to this extreme Interchange novice. (BTW: I *am* one of those longtime-since-the-early-80's Unix people, I'm just new to this whole Interchange thing... :) Secondly, I've downloaded the docs and glanced through them. I've printed the pdf versions of most of them even. I've even READ some, if you can believe it! I have no doubt there's a lot of really good info in there, but I also notice that RH has some printed docs for sale. Are these docs different than the ones you can download? Are they oriented more towards an end user, rather than a developer? (I ask because after I get this set up, other less technicaly inclined individuals will be maintaining it. If I can give them a book to read and say RTFM it will make my life MUCH easier, once I figure it out, of course.) Of course, any nudges, tips, tricks, general information, and unicorn hunting tips are appreciated as well. If you're extremely helpful I'll tell you about my midget fantasy. No, don't take that as a threat. And it's not sexual. :) I appreciate any help you folks can give this newbie, and I thank you in advance. I'm a quick learner and if you help me now, you can force all these newbie questions on me later. :) Again, thanks, --J(K) Jason Balicki Sr. Network Engineer Alexander Systems, Inc.

Where do I find a guide on setting up my store? There are lots of docs on the interchange site, and most of them seem to be assuming that I want to begin adding new functionality to the source right away, which sounds a bit ambitious to me right now. I'd like to start using the system for an online store, and I'm having difficulty seperating the relevant tutuorials from the non-relevant. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I was hoping that this would "just work" after install, but it appears that I can't add new items to the store at all. Not sure why. Every time I click on the "Item Editor" link, I see the same info I entered before. I hit "OK" and I'm returned to the Items page, no item there. How can I check for errors in this process? Are there lots of config files to edit before a new catalog install is useable for real-world operations? The other possibility is that I've botched the install. I don't think so, tables were created in MySQL, but new items aren't added when I use the Item Editor as noted above. It's a strange new world for me... Looks like I've got tons of reading to do. Any pointers on where to start would be much appreciated.

You can call all database access functions in a direct manner, e.g.: $set=$Db{awt_section}->query($sql); $set is a reference to an array of arrays.

I need a virtual host for my account: fixturefactor.com, and running Interchange, and a company that will SUPPORT IT, and knows HOW TO WORK WITH IT. Im no guru by any means, but I had a working catalog in 4.6 and my host was talking about getting rid of Interchange because they were having so many problems with it. (they didnt really know what they were doing with it, just had it installed). At someones sincere suggestion, I switched to Korksoft and thought they were going to be really good. I even paid for them to set up my files (about $250) so that I could be back up quicker and they said they would get the ssl set up, gpg, and get the config all adjusted for the new catalog. Heres the story: I have never had, and still dont have Email at all (about 3 weeks). They cant figure it out. then all the order section of my site was all screwed up in the admin backend. after many other problems, about 5 days ago, my site went down completely! I have called and emailed repeatedly and got nothing, until last friday when i get an email that says, and I quote, "We dont know what is going on with your site." AND THATS IT! (thanks a lot!)

Coz the current structure of the orderline table doesn't seem to have sufficient columns for the same. Moreover the demo avl (foundation catalog) seem to accept ship address for each and every item purchased, but at checkout it still asks for a shipping address. Can someone plz do correct me if iam misunderstood ?? Thnx in advance.

Hi, What are the requirements for installing/running Interchange on a virtual host? I've got a few sites running on http://webaxxs.net and they have Perl 5.006 and only allow one cron job. Is it relatively easy (or even possible) to make a non-root installation? I'll have to install any Perl modules locally since I can't modify the shared Perl installation. Is this a problem? thank for any info, ---todd From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Anton van de Plas) Date: Mon Oct 22 11:01:24 2001 Subject: [ic] In Desperate need of a NEW HOST Hi Aaron, I had similar problems with Korksoft, cancelled my account after 3 days and I am still waiting on my money from the money back guarantee.

I was all ready to go live with my site and now have to find a new host again. ONE THAT IS GOOD AND DEPENDABLE! Can anyone offer me some suggestions again? I need a virtual host for my account: fixturefactor.com, and running Interchange, and a company that will SUPPORT IT, and knows HOW TO WORK WITH IT. Im no guru by any means, but I had a working catalog in 4.6 and my host was talking about getting rid of Interchange because they were having so many problems with it. (they didnt really know what they were doing with it, just had it installed). At someones sincere suggestion, I switched to Korksoft and thought they were going to be really good. I even paid for them to set up my files (about $250) so that I could be back up quicker and they said they would get the ssl set up, gpg, and get the config all adjusted for the new catalog. Heres the story: I have never had, and still dont have Email at all (about 3 weeks). They cant figure it out. then all the order section of my site was all screwed up in the admin backend. after many other problems, about 5 days ago, my site went down completely! I have called and emailed repeatedly and got nothing, until last friday when i get an email that says, and I quote, "We dont know what is going on with your site." AND THATS IT! (thanks a lot!) Needless to say, it is still down and I still have no other responses. Use them at your own risk!

We would love to be given to the chance to host any interchange sites. We are running the most current 4.8.2, and use Interchange with the MySQL option. I know this isn't a Services Newsgroup, so I will leave it at this, anyone that wants more info on our company, what we all offer and for a free quote, please e-mail me. Satisfaction is guaranteed.

You aren't going to like my answer, and perhaps you will be happier hitting the <n>ext key. The docs aren't there! The only way to learn is to go in and try this, try that, try something else. Look at it this way: You are gifted with a pile of automobile parts and you have never seen an automobile before. Everything that you need to build an automobile is there, and if you want 25 of a particular part, you just push a button and you have them. Along with the pile is an example automobile. It is fully functional. It is there to set an example of what you can do with this pile of parts. If you want, you can get in it and drive off without doing anything. But, if you want regular seats, not beer cases; if you want the speedometer/odometer calibrated in mph, instead of pohs per hour; if you want the engine to run on gas or diesel instead of radish juice then you have to make some changes. What changes you ask. Well the necessary changes are in the pile of parts. You only need to experiment around and try this, try that, try these, try those until you get the desired effect. When you get the seat that you want, you only need to kit a copy button and you can have the same seat throughout the whole car. But, there is NO manual for any of that! The archived messages at the redhat site will provide a lot of insight and will help you go in the right direction for the particular store that you want to build. It;s a VERY sharp learning curve!

As far as the document specifies it says that each and every item of an order are stored in the orderline table whereas a summary of the order is stored in the transactions table. I.e., There lies a one to many relation between the transactions and orderline wherein every parent record in the transaction table there is one or many child records available in the orderline table. I guess iam clear in my understanding. If not pls correct me. Well, my question is, if this is the case then how multiple shipping locations are taken care. Coz the current structure of the orderline table doesn't seem to have sufficient columns for the same. Moreover the demo avl (foundation catalog) seem to accept ship address for each and every item purchased, but at checkout it still asks for a shipping address. Can someone plz do correct me if iam misunderstood ?? Thnx in advance.

Where do I find a guide on setting up my store? There are lots of docs on the interchange site, and most of them seem to be assuming that I want to begin adding new functionality to the source right away, which sounds a bit ambitious to me right now. I'd like to start using the system for an online store, and I'm having difficulty seperating the relevant tutuorials from the non-relevant. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I was hoping that this would "just work" after install, but it appears that I can't add new items to the store at all. Not sure why. Every time I click on the "Item Editor" link, I see the same info I entered before. I hit "OK" and I'm returned to the Items page, no item there. How can I check for errors in this process? Are there lots of config files to edit before a new catalog install is useable for real-world operations? The other possibility is that I've botched the install. I don't think so, tables were created in MySQL, but new items aren't added when I use the Item Editor as noted above. It's a strange new world for me... Looks like I've got tons of reading to do. Any pointers on where to start would be much appreciated.

After that, I like to see the versions and platform. Below that would be a deeper discussion of the problem, as well as any pertinent logs, error messages, etc. It is necessary to tell detailed specifics.

If an ISP provides "e-commerce" in its hosting package and uses Interchange to do so, they should be prepared for the "hosting" price (however low that is) to make sure that the program is running correctly, especially features as the PGP and payment gateway. Otherwise you are deceiving customers and giving the wonderful program of Interchange a bad name. I am not talking about configuring the store itself. Many ISP's like Korksoft offer Interchange but it is not working properly or charge extra for e.g. to setup the PGP or gateway without mentioning this on their website when they sell the service to you.

One could set the discount, drop a few >items, and still have the discount. I don't think so - you might temporarily have the discount if you went to checkout with cart > $100, which would activate it, then back to the basket and dropped a few items. But as soon as you went back to checkout, the tags would be re-evaluated, and if the subtotal <= 100 the discount would be removed. So in that sense, it passes the acid test: they only get the discount on their submitted order if it meets the minimum. It might be cumulative, however - it has been a while since I messed with discounts. So it would probably be a good idea to see if a discount has already been applied first: [if type=explicit compare="[calc][subtotal noformat=1] > 100[/calc]"] [if !discount ENTIRE_ORDER] [discount ENTIRE_ORDER]$s * .9[/discount] [/if] [else] [discount ENTIRE_ORDER][/discount] [/else] [/if] One more thing I should have mentioned - the discount should be reset after the order is submitted - easy enough by putting this at the bottom of the receipt page: [if discount ENTIRE_ORDER][discount ENTRIRE_ORDER][/discount][/if] - Ed L. > That might be irrelevant or it >might not :-) It even gets page dependant, eg they may not have to >go through checkout once it is filled.

I've found (the hard way) one case where the new Encryption system is a little tricky. If your server has both pgp and gpg installed and you are trying to use pgp, Interchange will find and try to use gpg and fail because the public key you specified was not known to gpg. For this case, I had to fully specify the pgp command in the ENCRYPTOR variable *AND* set the "EncryptProgram" directive in the catalog.cfg file. Variable ENCRYPTOR /usr/local/bin/pgp -feat orders@mystore.com EncryptProgram __ENCRYPTOR__ Hope this helps someone.

I have been digging through all the good leads in the last day or so. I wanted to bring you up to date and set a couple of things straight. I am pleased to announce that, after getting a call from Korksoft, I now know what caused our site to go down. It DID NOT entail an equipment failure, software failure, or even anything wrong with my catalog. Somehow, another customer, when selecting another IP address, got mine! This meant that the server didn't know what the heck to do. The situation was compounded by the fact that a main officer of the company was out of town when this happened, which, of course, I knew nothing about. To rectify the situation, Korksoft moved me to a new server that is running 4.8.2. This was all done in a very timely manner once the situation was addressed. Though there was some failure in communication early on, they dealt with me in a way that I have been satisfied with. I want everyone to know this, as I put value, not only on good service to begin with, but also upon someones willingness to serve you when everythings not going so smoothly. I have been assured that the issues that caused problems for me: the IP address, and the communication, have both already been addressed, and adjustments made where necessary. Though I have not been with Korksoft long enough to give out recommendations (its only been 2 weeks), I will say that when a major problem had to be addressed, I was not hidden from and they met the problem head-on. As far as right now, since I am now switching versions, I am updating my catalog information to be what I had before as far as products and pages, etc. Hoewever, I have a WORKING install in 4.8.2 including Email, SSL, and GPG encryption. I consider the matter resolved.... Since this resolution has come and I dont look forward to another switch, I plan to continue with Korksoft as my hosting service until further notice..... If anybody has any questions for me regarding any of this, I would be glad to speak with them.

This is what I think is the easiest way: 1) Create a vard.vcf.html page (with this wired extension) and place it in pages/admin under your catalog page. 2) Add this line to the top of that file: [tag op=header interpolate=1]Content-Type: text/plain[/tag] 3) create your vcard-layout there 4) make your link to that page mentioned in 1) My link looks like this: [set mv_add_dot_html]0[/set] [page test/vcard.vcf]Get this vcard[/page] [set mv_add_dot_html]1[/set] That's it.

Mike Heins responded below, and per Mikes reply, I have since tried using interpolate=1 like this: [table-organize interpolate=1 cols=3 pretty=1 ...etc I am a little unclear as to what needs to be added to interchange.cfg. So I changed interchange.cfg to: UserTag table-organize Order cols ==> EOR UserTag table_organize HasEndTag UserTag table_organize Interpolate I even added the whole table-organize routine to interchange.cfg without luck. There are no errors in the error logs, but I still get no output (other than 'top', 'left', and 'bottom' panels). This looks like it should be a no-brainer! More info below. I have read the docs on IC tag syntax. I understand I am using a container tag and need interpolate=1 and an end tag. I have searched the archives for table-organize and interpolate (and grepped for the same). I am using the example from the table-organize usertag itself (though it did not mention using interpolate). Details of my original request are below. I hope someone can open my eyes!

If you see [table-organize] on the page, interchange is not treating it as a valid usertag.

My client would like customers to be able to pay for ebay auctions on their site. As it is now... I have an "item" called ebaypayment. It acts as a gift certificate, the customer enters their bid amount + shipping charge (they received all this info in an email prior). The shipping is manually added by the customer because each ebay item has different weights, etc. Weight is set to "0" so shipping is not calculated. The problem is, they are being taxed (if in CA) for the shipping which they have added to the charge amount. Currently this "item - ebaypayment" is: Taxable? NO BUT, tax is STILL calculated. So I need one of the following: #1. a fix for the current situation #2. the ability to have customers enter TWO amounts (bid amount) and (shipping) - tax will only be calculated on (bid amount). #3. a simple way of processing a card without using an "item" Thanks for any help...

Ok, I've looked all over and I'm going to continue to look, but I can't seem to find where I can change the hostname that IC thinks it is. For example, if I install the foundation store as test.somedomain.com, get it the way I like it and then want to take that same machine live by changing the hostname to www.somedomain.com (changing the DNS, of course) when I try to connect to IC on www I get a message "unable to locate test.somedomain.com". This is, of course, an RPM install of 4.8.2, running on RH 7.1. There must be some config file that contains this, but I haven't found it -- I ran find on the whole /var/lib/interchange/ directory tree for the installed hostname and what I found wasn't it, apparently. I made changes in whatever I could find and restarted IC, to no avail. I have a sneaking feeling that it's contained in variable.gdbm, but I don't think that gets changed if I restart IC. (I've done an md5sum before and after a change to variable.txt and restart of IC, no change.) I'm missing something really dumb, I just know it.

If the number of cells are not on an even modulus of the number of columns, then "filler" cells are pushed on. Parameters: =over 4 =item cols (or columns) Number of columns. This argument defaults to 2 if not present. =item rows Optional number of rows.

Can be an array. =item td Attributes for table cells. Can be an array. =item tr Attributes for table rows. Can be an array. =item pretty Adds newline and tab characters to provide some reasonable indenting. =item filler Contents to place in empty cells put on as filler. Defaults to C< >. =item limit Maximum number of cells to use. Truncates extra cells silently. =back The C<tr>, C<td>, and C<caption> attributes can be specified with indexes; if they are, then they will alternate according to the modulus. The C<td> option array size should probably always equal the number of columns; if it is bigger, then trailing elements are ignored. If it is smaller, no attribute is used.

If an ISP provides "e-commerce" in its hosting package and uses Interchange to do so, they should be prepared for the "hosting" price (however low that is) to make sure that the program is running correctly, especially features as the PGP and payment gateway. Otherwise you are deceiving customers and giving the wonderful program of Interchange a bad name. I am not talking about configuring the store itself. Many ISP's like Korksoft offer Interchange but it is not working properly or charge extra for e.g. to setup the PGP or gateway without mentioning this on their website when they sell the service to you.

I suspect that I need to use javascript here (not too much of a problem) but I'd rather not introduce another scripting language if it can be done with perl or IC tags.

Cawthron) Date: Wed Oct 24 17:26:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Flypage, multiple product tables, and [item-field] To begin with, I am using Interchange 4.8.2 with Sybase 11 on Red Hat Linux 7. I am trying to build on-the-fly pages using multiple "product" tables and multiple flypage templates. PageSelectField is set in catalog.cfg to the name of the column (its the same column in all product tables) that contains the name of the template to use. On my template pages, I have a number of [item-field fieldname] tags. In short, pages are not being displayed as expected (the page is displayed, but only one [item-field...] value is output) when I have multiple tables listed as ProductFiles, but they do display properly if only one table is listed in the ProductFiles directive. Here are the gory details... SCENARIO ONE: One product table My catalog.cfg looks like this: ProductFiles product_view_web PageSelectField web_template When I enter a URL with a valid code in my browser, I get the correct page with the correct template. The value of each arbitrary field (where a value exists) is displayed as it should in place of the [item-field fieldname] tags. Everything works as expected when I look at different product codes or use a different template. SCENARIO TWO: Multiple product tables My catalog.cfg looks like this: ProductFiles product_view_web content_view_web PageSelectField web_template When I enter a URL with a valid code in my browser, I get the correct page with the correct template. This part works great no matter which table is being accessed or which template is being used. However, only the first [item-field fieldname] tag is displaying any data. None of the other [item-field...] tags are resulting in any data from the database. I can change the field that is being accessed in the first tag and can successfully display any field in the database as long as it is the first [item-field...] tag. The other [item-field...] tags in the template are ignored completely (not entirely true, they are apparently interpolated to some extent because they have been removed in the resulting HTML page). This behavior is the same no matter which template is being used, which table is being accessed, or which fields are set to be displayed. If I remove either of the tables from the ProductFiles directive, everything works great and all fields are displayed. It does not matter which "product" table is specified as long as there is only one. If I use [item-data db field] instead of [item-field field] then everything works fine, even if multiple tables are listed as ProductFiles. The downsides of this include the need to create a template for each product table and that the name of the database gets mixed up in the design of the page instead of being abstracted. Has anybody run into this problem before and, more importantly, does anybody have any suggestions to fix it?

I have tried that, and it produces a 500 Internal Server Error...No error messages in cat, interchange, or apache error logs. I again just tried copying the whole usertag into interchange.cfg just below #### Now including individual usertag files #include usertag/* (table_organize routine) and restarting - same 500 error. It seems the [table-organize] routine is not being found or is not working (gosh I hate to say that when it is probably some error on my part). I tried various things, with/wo interpolate=1, etc. I have several cats live and running without problems, so I am sure my install is OK. I have the file table_organize in /usr/lib/interchange/usertag. Permissions and ownership are OK. Anyone have any other ideas? This seems like it should be so simple. Is there another way to display 'products' in multiple columns and rows? Thanks again!

Actually i want to know how data is maintained in the two tables namely Transactions and Orderline and relations it has :- Assuming a consumer Mr.C buys two products namely 1. TV and 2 WASHING MACHINE . Now both these products can be shipped to two different people. Lets say TV shipped to Mr.X in California and WASHING MACHINE shipped to Mr. Y at Virginia. Now i want to know how and where each of these details shall be stored from a DB Perspective. I tried to create few sample orders and see the results but i couldn't find any relavant info. Entry in ORDERLINE is : ================== code Order_number Sku Qty Price TEST01-1 TEST01 TV 1 500 TEST01-2 TEST01 WASHING M/c 1 500 Entry in TRANSACTION is : ==================== Code Order_number fname lname address b_address TEST01 TEST01 The problem that i face here is that at checkout page the shipping and address details are required to be entered alongwith the CREDIT CARD No. (Hope u ppl get which page i refer to) It has been constrained as mandatory to give a shipping address at the checkout page. Now my cart contains 2 items to be shipped to 2 different people i cannot specify any one person's address. How does IC handle this ? Moreover the transactions table holds fields namely ADDRESS and b_address I dont know the purpose of the same ? Can someone tell me how this can be tackled ? Am i still not clear ?

You could use multiple carts or even go as far as assigning the shipping address as a product attribute in a single cart. In any case, the store will almost certainly have to split the order up to fulfill it and track it, so you might as well do that from the get go. Make it really easy to generate a second order, eg, order the tv then order the washing machine. You might still set it up so one order can handle the payment for any number of others; those would get marked prepaid by that order number. What is the business logic behind this? Is this a typical order or a rare exception, etc...? cfm -- Christopher F.

I can't create a SQL based Catalog with makecat :( There is a Problem to create the DB , here is the whole dialog with makecat : -------------------------------------------- [root@ntweb products]# /usr/lib/interchange/bin/makecat Select a short, mnemonic name for the catalog. This will be used to set the defaults for naming the catalog, executable, and directory, so you will have to type in this name frequently. NOTE: This will be the name of 'vlink' or 'tlink', the link CGI program. Depending on your CGI setup, it may also have the extension .cgi added. Only the characters [-a-zA-Z0-9_] are allowed, and it is strongly suggested that the catalog name be all lower case. If you are doing the demo for the first time, you might use "foundation". Catalog name? sql6 makecat -- Interchange catalog installation program. *** We will be making a catalog named 'sql6'. *** Try using the UP arrow at some of the prompts -- you have the Term::ReadLine module installed, and Interchange may find some default values in your HTTP server configuration file. You can cycle among them with the UP and DOWN arrows. ######### BEGINNING CATALOG CONFIGURATION ######### During many of the following operations, defaults are placed in a buffer for you. You may use the up and down arrows to toggle between the defaults. If you made a mistake on a *previous* entry and realize that in a later one, if you enter ONLY an @ sign and press return you should be returned to the previous step. # The server name, something like: www.company.com # www.company.com:8000 # www.company.com/~yourname # Server name? ntweb.solution-service.de # The type of demo catalog to use.

G # The user name the Interchange server runs under on this machine. This # should not be the same as the user that runs the HTTP server (i.e. # NOT nobody). # InterchangeUser? interch # # The user name the catalog will be owned by. # CatUser? interch # The group name the server-owned files should be set to. This is # only important if Interchange catalogs will be owned by multiple users # and the group to be used is not the default for the catalog user. # # Normally this is left blank unless G mode was selected above. # InterchangeGroup? interch # The email address where orders for this catalog should go. # To have a secure catalog, either this should be a local user name and # not go over the Internet -- or use the PGP option. # MailOrderTo? interch@ntweb # Where the Interchange files for this catalog will go, pages, # products, config and all. This should not be in HTML document # space! Usually a 'catalogs' directory below your home directory # works well. Remember, you will want a test catalog and an online # catalog. # CatRoot? /var/lib/interchange/sql6 # The location of the normal CGI directory. This is a # file path, not a script alias. # # If all of your CGI programs must end in .cgi, this is # should be the same as your HTML directory. # CgiDir? /var/www/cgi-bin # The URL location of the CGI program, without the http:// # or server name. # # http://www.virtual.com/cgi-bin/prog # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # # http://www.virtual.com/program.cgi # ^^^^^^^^^^^^ # CgiUrl? /cgi-bin/sql6 # # Additional URL locations for the CGI program, as with CgiUrl. # This is used when calling the catalog from more than one place, # perhaps because your secure server is not the same name as the # non-secure one. # # http://www.secure.domain/secure-bin/prog # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # # We set it to the name of the catalog by default to enable the # internal HTTP server. # Aliases? /sql6 # The base directory for HTML for this (possibly virtual) domain. # This is a directory path name, not a URL -- it is your HTML # directory. # DocumentRoot? /var/www/html # Where the sample HTML files (not Interchange pages) should be installed. # There is a difference. Usually a subdirectory of your HTML directory. # SampleHtml? /var/www/html/sql6 # Where the image files should be copied.

Most ISPs would prefer UNIX mode, and it is more secure. If you already have a program there, or use a common program and the FullURL directive, select NONE. You will then need to copy the program by hand or otherwise ensure its presence. (You can use the up/down arrows to toggle). INET or UNIX mode?

Use MySQL after some experience and training without IC only and first. In the meantime, try bin/makecat once more again and set SQL support to 0 instead of 1. Use IC withot SQL at the first time.

Hmmm...with a fresh IC 4.8.2? Without any modification by you? At the first time with FreeBSD 4.3, IC crash at the start up.

Yes, it's a clean 4.8.2 - no mods to the code. There is nothing else running on this box, no other web sites, just IC with two catalogs (stock "foundation" and another which is stock foundation with 2 products added). Both exhibit the same behavior, IC starts clean, the stores work, just the "orders" and "merchandising" (yes its merchandising, not administration, sorry) still give Internal Server Error. Just those functions, everything else is great. Thanks!

Please sieze (cardiac arrest would be fine) and desist using it or we will be forced to take beagle actions (fear the trained attack beagle).

The original question called for all orders with a value over 100.00 to be given a 10% discount. If this is to be made variable, then perhaps you could work out the 10% and save it into a scratch value with something like the following: [seti discount_pct] query db and set 10 (for 10% discount) [/seti] [seti discount_amount] query db and set 100 (for > $100) [/seti] [discount ENTIRE_ORDER] my $pct = (100 - ($::Scratch->{'discount_pct'} || 0)) / 100; my $amt = $::Scratch->{'discount_amount'} or return $s; $s > $amt ? $s * $pct : $s; [/discount] Then you have the discount set to the rules you want, and have scratch values set to those rules. Your report page can show those scratch values to explain the discount applied. The rules could be set on a per-user basis, depending upon the code you use to set the scratch values. All untested - just have a play with it and see what you get. If I misunderstood your question, then please ask it again. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.uk.com _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Joe Moschak) Date: Thu Oct 25 12:21:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Problem with makecat and MySQL DB :( I haven't closely scrutinized your whole script and the problem could be anywhere.

I find the documentation to be rather confusing at times, so here's a tip that may help you all. Interchange has the ability to create a detailed debug log that can help track down problems. To enable it, do the following: 1. edit interchange.cfg and remove the '#' where Variable DEBUG 1 is defined. 2. edit the source module that affects the feature you are looking at or all of them for that matter. Most of the work is done by .pm modules in the lib/Vend subdirectory of where interchange is installed (/usr/lib/interchange in my case). There are many lines that begin #::logDebug(...) Use your editor to remove the '#' comment character and resave the modules. (you can do it in vi using ":%s/^#::log/::log/" (no quotes). 3. restart interchange As you run your tests, messages will be collected in "/tmp/icdebug" that will be very helpful. When you are done don't forget to reverse the process. I hope this isn't too basic for this list. I am new to Interchange and found this to solve a few of my problems.

There are all sorts of reasons. In our case, for example, userland is not even on the same machine as the catalogs so /usr/bin/perl is often different. Or on a debian box, sometimes one needs (I don't know about IC) libmd5-perl - backwards-compatible wrapper for Digest::MD5 YMMV.

I hope this can help someone else. You can use this below as you want. Thanks again for all the help. To begin the perl modules on the site were to old and I needed newer version. To start I created a local .cpan directory. To do this you create a local .cpan. But you need to be able to make and install perl. To do this I created a perl-local or cpan-local file and created a directory local with a bin, lib, share, info, and man. You have to have the basic three bin, lib, and man. -----------------------------Cut Here perl-local--------------------- PREFIX=/home/user_directory/local \ INSTALLPRIVLIB=/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5 \ INSTALLSCRIPT=/home/user_directory/local/bin \ INSTALLSITELIB=/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5/site_perl \ INSTALLBIN=/home/user_directory/local/bin \ INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5/man \ INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5/man/man3 -----------------------------Cut Here-------------------------------- What I did was use this as my perl make command. perl Makefile.PL `cat ~/perl-local` The key is you have to have write access to the directory where you have your files. This now allows you to make and install the perl files. But you still have to deal with the system perl files. Perl 5 has an enviroment variable to solve this. I add this to my .profile. I use the korn shell. PERL5LIB=/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5:/home/user_diretory/local/lib/perl5/site_perl: export PERL5LIB Now I could run perl with the correct modules. The next problem was getting apache to be able to run the correct perl files. So I had these two lines added to the vhost.conf file. Set Env PERL5LIB /home/boyd/local/lib/perl5:/home/boyd/local/lib/perl5/site_perl: PassEnv PERL5LIB You may need a PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH that you can do the same way. Now to get perl to run I had to add these two things. from #!/usr/bin/perl -wT to use lib '.'; # for suid installations #!/usr/bin/perl -wT -I/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5 use lib '.'; # for suid installations use lib '/home/user_directory/local/lib/perl5/site_perl'; At this point everything was working. I hope this helps some one else.

You are still using the Bill Gates mentality. He tells you what to do and how to do it. When you wipe your butt, be sure to use your right hand and 4 pieces of toilet paper and go from back to front. Interchange uses the Linus Torvalds mentality. Linus is from the Scandanavian area and he was apparently raised on Lego blocks, also from Scandanavia. Here are a ton of Lego blocks. Use your imagination and make something. Everything that you need is right here. Make whatever your heart desires. Or, if you really feel a need to wipe your butt, here is some toilet paper, some paper towels, some news paper, some wet wipes, a wash cloth, and you may find something else in this pile that you want to use to wipe your butt. Or, maybe you would rather use a stream of hot water to wash it with, or warm water, or cold water, or maybe just forget it and have racing stripes in your underwear. It's free-form! There is NO documentation. There are instructions on how to use the toilet paper. There are instructions on how to use the wash cloth, as well as the paper towel, as well as the stream of water, etc. But, there are no instructions on the integrated procedure of wiping your butt. Bill Gates has done an excellent job of that, as well as various procedures to insure that you do it exactly according to his protocol. That's why he is a multi-billionaire and Linus is a starving college student. Interchange is a do-it-yourself kit. An example has been provided to give you an idea of one of a thousand ways to wipe your butt.

I want to wipe out these states and percentages, so tried to delete them with the red "X". Next, I tried clearing the boxes, and clicked apply changes. It appeared that the database was being updated and gave me a "success" message. However, whenever I return to the Tax screen, nothing has changed. I tried using the update button, but that doesn't work either. I am logged into the Admin Panel as the site administrator (as created my makecat). I am using IC 4.8.2 / RH 7.1 My states.txt file does not reflect any sales tax for the 3 mysterious states referenced above (I edited the table through the Admin Panel table editor instead of the Tax editor). Even though the file seems correct by inspection after the editing, a trial run through the store nets a tax charge when the order is from one of the 3 aforementioned states. I have restarted the Interchange server. I have tried percussive maintenance. (not really). Any ideas? Where does that Tax editor function get its data?

If you just want to try things out quickly, the easiest thing to do is to remove all lines from ichelp.txt except the first line, then restart. SDBM can't handle the long fields used in ichelp. At the moment it won't matter if you delete all the help data, because by default in ui.cfg UI_HELP_URL is set to use help.interchange.redhat.com instead of your local machine so you will get the advantage of the latest UI help even before you upgrade.

The first thing that comes to mind is to try something like this (on checkout.html) - the numbers will be rounded up to the next integer: [assign clear=1] [assign shipping="[calc]int [shipping noformat=1] + 1[/calc]"] [assign salestax="[calc]int [salestax noformat=1] + 1[/calc]"] ...etc. You could also do it within a [perl] block using $Tag->assign() but you may find you have to preopen many tables related to shipping and salestax, so the gains in execution speed may be marginal. - Ed L. > > > > >Oystein > > >(runnning IC 4.8.1) > > > > > >onsdag 24. oktober 2001, 17:53, skrev du : > > > > At 10:56 AM 10/24/2001 +0200, you wrote: > > > > >Anyone knows how to round off the product price up to the nearest > > > > > integer. > > > > > > > > > >Tried to (first attempt) set locale price_picture "##.###,00" in the > > > > >catalog.cfg but then ic couldn't calculate price with tax > > > > > > > > > >Any suggestions or do I have to get my sysadmin to come up with a > > > > > small hack...? > > > > > > > > > >Regards from Oystein > > > > > > > > What happens if you drop the ',00': price_picture "##.###"? > > > > > > > > - Ed L. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > New Media E.M.S.

I use complex searches within the design area of admin. This search worked great until I upgraded: fi=products/st=text/se=Hammers/ml=15/tf=description/sf=category/co=yes It produces this page error and the same in error log: Sorry, no matches for Errors: Search strings must be at least 1 characters. You had no search string specified. Can someone recommend an equivalent search expression, without using carriage returns like: fi=products st=text se=Hammers ml=15 tf=description sf=category co=yes Mike Heins originally told me to use the / to eliminate the use of carriage returns, but this does not work with 4.8.2. I can 'create' a working expression in the design area, but it uses carriage returns, and when exporting/importing the table it gets messed up. Simple expressions work (Category=Hammers), so it must be something in the complex search expression. I have searched google for 'complex search interchange' and reviewed the docs on complex searches without an answer. Thanks a bunch!

Hi everybody I have just spent two hours finding out why my SQL Query "SHOW COLUMNS FROM pricing" failed. I hope this fix will be implemented in the next release. In Interchange 4.8.1 dbi.pm line 1498 there is written $update = 1 if $query !~ /^\s*select\s+/i; In order to get those show and explain things to work, you whould write $update = 1 if $query !~ /^\s*(select|show|explain)\s+/i; or are there any security issues? PS: When I first looked into interchange 4 months ago, I thought I could never get my new site running. I had no perl nor sql knowledge. I have done a lot of changes to the pricing and ordering stuff. I made a little scripting language that allows me to set the options of a product to certain values depending on other options (eliminate incompatible options), user default option, supplied parameters in the price and order tags, global default options (autoselect options if the user had no chance to select them yet). I made my own search/result page and routines, my own (faster) bar_link code that does not need going to the admin ui / autopolulate anymore, lots of product tables calculated in perl and my own shipping routine. I still have the impression that I could have done the things I did in a more elegant way. If Interchange was really well documented (more tutorials, samples, howtos), it would take at least 5000 pages...

Static html pages for each product are only generated if you do a static build from within the UI. FWIW, you can make a template page for any item (i.e. 00029.html) and put it in the catalog's pages directory, and IC will use that instead of flypage, giving you some ability to customize the look and feel on an item-by-item basis. Probably better is to use PageSelectField to choose from a series of templates based on a property of the product... or perhaps to store display attributes in a database keyed by item sku, category or some other relation and use those to set page properties on the fly...

I'm sorry if you found it offensive. Apparently, my main concept was missed. And, that concept being that with Interchange you have a pile of building blocks and an unlimited supply of each style block. With that pile you can make anything you want. There is documentation for each item in the pile of blocks, but not for what you choose to do with them, nor for the examples that someone else has built. I see quite a few Gates followers come through here asking questions similar to yours. I made the assumption (mistakenly apparently) that was also your background.

John, I'm just starting to work on Interchange myself, and it seems like you're where I was about a week ago, so I just wanted to give you a few pointers I wish I had then... First, as others have pointed out, the pages are generated dynamicaly and are not stored, per se. You can edit the flypage.html to change some things, but I think what you were asking was how to change the look and feel. If you haven't yet, get the tutorial and follow the steps, it'll give you a good background on what's going on in ic. The docs available *are* good, they just don't hold your hand, that's what your fellow users are supposed to be for. :) Get them now and they'll make sense to you later. Anyway, foundation is a fully functional store, as I'm sure you're aware, but it's just one implimentation of many, many ways you can do things. IC has a tag language that's damn comprehensive, almost a programming language, IMO. (It's got loops and if-then's and all that. :) Here's what I've figured out so far about the foundation store: The "look and feel" of the site is defined in a few places, some of it is in /var/lib/interchange/foundation/templates/foundation/theme.cfg (I'm assuming an RPM installation, these files may be in different places if you've done a source install.) In theme.cfg you can change things like color of the menu bar, side bar, links, etc. (The css, if you know what that is -- I don't know how much HTML and whatnot you know, sorry if I'm seeming rudimentary.) Ok, now, foundation has a few templates that define the top, left, right and bottom of every page you see. Each dynamic page can either be a left only, left-right, and noleft with corresponding templates in /var/lib/interchange/foundation/templates/foundation/regions/. In there you'll see the files: LEFTONLY_TOP, LEFTRIGHT_TOP, NOLEFT_TOP, LEFTONLY_BOTTOM, LEFTRIGHT_BOTTOM, and NOLEFT_BOTTOM. These are pretty much self explanitory, but if you edit these then you'll see the corresponding changes on the dynamic pages that contain them. The easy thing to do is change them and see what happens. It's good to know some HTML, but you'll see some ic tags in there too. Leave them alone for now until you understand that tag language. You can tell an IC tag because they are surrounded by '[' and ']'. Oh yeah, MAKE BACKUPS of every file you edit. Preferebly BEFORE you edit it. :) In /var/lib/interchange/foundation/pages are the, well, pages. You can make changes to the pages themselves here. You'll see a lot of things like "__SOMEVAR__" -- those are defined in a file called variables.txt in /var/lib/interchange/foundation/products/. Don't change variables.txt by hand unless you really, really need to. The admin UI is pretty good, though it does have some quirks. It can seem overwhelming, but you'll get the hang of it. If you screw it up (I did) you can uninstall the RPM and reinstall to your hearts content and try again. (You may have to clean up /var/lib/interchange/foundation after you uninstall the RPM though. Make sure you back up things you want to keep to some other directory, then copy them back after you've reinstalled.) That should get you going on the customization of foundation, and it really is good enough for a basic store. You may want to make a new catalog for testing purposes so you can try building one from scratch, that's what I'm doing at this point -- my boss wants a live store by Nov. 7th, so I'm just going to use a modified foundation and take time to customize a catalog to switch to later. I hope I helped, good luck... I may ask *you* some questions later on when you know more. :) Also, if anyone else on the list notices something I've got wrong, PLEASE tell me.

This variable would have to be passed to the labeled_list() sub, on to the iterate_array_list() sub and, in turn, to the various subs that control the [PREFIX-field], [PREFIX-description] and [PREFIX-price] tags etc. Until this is done, you will have to make do with your workaround, and use the [PREFIX-data] tag. As you only have two tables, the duplication will not be as bad as it first appears, and could be consolidated back at a later date. I would suggest raising this as an issue on the bugzilla system, where due attention will be given. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.uk.com _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Kevin Walsh) Date: Fri Oct 26 22:23:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Interchange manuals and docs > > > Hi, i have downloaded some guides in pdf format from Red Hat's web, but it > > > seems as they are just for certain tasks. > > > > > > Where can i download complete documentation for Interchange?, or i just have > > > to buy the printed docs the Red Hat sells?, if it's so this is not so "open" > > > source as should be right?. > > > > > You are still using the Bill Gates mentality.

We all have to start somewhere. In answer to the original question: I expect that you found your PDFs at http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev-4.8/index.html. If not then take a look there. If these are the ones you have, then you will find the "Tags Reference" the most useful, closely followed by the "Database" and "Configuration" guides. The "Catalog Building Tutorial" gives a good grounding in what Interchange does and how to use it to build your project. Other than the docs, playing with the included "Foundation" demo is probably the best way to get to grips with the system, until you are confident enough to tackle building your own system from scratch. I have found that a lot of the people I speak to are using modified "Foundation" and "Construct" demos as the basis for their own sites. In answer to the Bill Gates question: I would think that, given the amount of money Bill earns every day, taking time out to get up and walk to the toilet would result in a considerable loss of earnings. With that in mind, he probably avoids the entire butt-wiping issue by having himself wired up to a nutrient-drip-delivery machine and a catheter when he turns up for work each morning. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.uk.com _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (utomo) Date: Sat Oct 27 06:04:01 2001 Subject: [ic] Interchange manuals and docs Hello all, I hope Red Hat can consider to offer Download version of documentation (if it is not same between downloaded version and printed version), which is cheaper than printed version.

Using your favorite editor, open up the file template called item_option_simple. We used vi to edit the file. Add a form input field to that form that references the price wherever you see fit. I did it after the textarea entry. The Code that I added reads as follows: <tr> <td> Price: <input type="text" name="opt_price_[scratch mod_code]" size="50" value="[filter entities][sql-param price][/filter]"></td> </tr> This will add it to the edit templates. Then you are going to modify the query up above that inserts the data. First you need to define the variable for the query so add this line: my $price = $CGI->{"opt_price_$key"}; This line goes right under the three others that are defining name, value and label. Then a ways further down, in the SQL set statements add: $odb->set_field($key,'price',$price); Finally towards the very bottom you need to add this line for the add new option dialog below the textarea and aboe the input button. Price:<Input type="text" name="opt_price_" size"30"><br> Now say you have a product that is a car. The car is avaliable in three colors, Red Blue and Green which add to the price 50,100&150 respectively. In the text areas you might enter the following values: Name: CLR Label: Color Values: R=Red B=Blue G=Green Price: R=50,B=100,G=150 Now when you select these options, it will automatically configure the price when you add the item to the basket. Our next task is too add some javascript that will automatically calculate the price as the user select the options. If you would like to see an example of how this works on the output, you can go to our page at http://www.satcomresources.com and search for dst300, and then click on the DST300 Ku-Band Satellite Terminal and you will see how you can configure the unit, and the price is automatically calculated. Interchange fully supports this, but it was just not built into the admin yet.

Items not appearing Hello again all, One of our IC (4.8.2 RH7.1, Perl 5.6.1) sites appears to be "forgetting" about a few item in the database. Everything shows up fine in the admin UI, you can search for/modify/delete/clone the items in the UI. But the front end doesn't display them. You can do a search for the or other unique text/entries the item may have and it will always come up with: Sorry, I didn't find any matches for ARRAY(0x837df18). With no error.log entry. I've checked the txt structure. Deleted the gdbm/recreated it. I even tried deleting the entry, and then recreating it with the same sku #. The behavior is still the same. This got me to thinking that there might be an old entry fragment or something. I checked all the db/txt files and couldn't find any reference to any of the faulty sku's. They only appear in the products table. At this point I'm almost thinking that it is some strange quirk in GDBM, and am about ready to try migrating it to pgsql to see if that corrects the problem.

It has nothing to do with transactions. It's mostly an internal 'housekeeping' method that is rarely needed. There's no need to call finish if you're about to destroy or re-execute the statement handle.

If you do not create an account (or log in with an existing account), the Shipping Method popup list is not populated with any choices. If you fill out the form completely and submit it ("Place Order"), processing is completed but no shipping charges are included (since you didn't select a shipping method). It seems that what happens is that when the system tries to build the Shipping Method popup without knowing the shipping location, it cannot since the system doesn't know what methods or costs are available. Since many people (like me) seem to take the Foundation store and modify it for actual use, it seems like something should be done. I don't really know Interchange well enough to know what the best path would be. One option that occurs to me is to move the Shipping Method and Billing information to another, subsequent page so that by the time you get there, a shipping location will be known and the shipping method popup can be populated correctly. Is that the "right" thing to do (i.e. will it work as expected)? Are there other "better" methods of dealing with this?

Off the top of my head, you should be able to put however complex SQL you want in [query sql="..."]. In any case, you definitely can in [perl] with $db->query("...").

The UI is in fact build of 100% IC: IML, Usertags and a module or two - and it queries and acts on the same data as the front end. Search terms can be different, however; the search which returns the item list in the UI is less restrictive than the one that filters category links or keyword searches in the store, for example. There is a good chance that something about the "missing" items excludes them from the front-end searches: perhaps illegal characters in the sku, errors in the category field, inactive field set to true, etc. I know it seems oversimplified but I would look at these things first before suspecting code issues. - Ed L.

You should be able to specify the transaction type as a pre-auth in the Order Route for Authorize.net (assuming you are using 4.8.2); then add field(s) to the transaction table and the import code in etc/log_transaction to save the transaction id and any other needed code as returned by Authorize.net (these should be available as session variables, not sure of their names, but check the docs on Order Routes). You should be able to settle the transaction later with those codes - but yes, at this point you will have to write the code yourself if you want it to happen automatically when you ship an order via the UI. - Ed L. =============================================================== New Media E.M.S.

I HH>>don't really know Interchange well enough to know what the best path HH>>would be. I can't speak to Foundation since I haven't changed over yet. I am still on Construct. I am able to set a default shipping method, and the default country is set as USA, which helps narrow things down. I was running into some disgruntled users that were complaining about the lack of shipping costs. This was due to the fact that the system didn't know what zip code the order was going to. Once they put in a zip code, then the shipping cost was calculated. I ended this problem by forcing them to log in, or to set up an account before the check out page displays. They would have to give me all of that information as an anonymous user before I could ship anyways, and there is nothing asked for in setting up the account that wasn't already being asked. So, now, when the checkout page finally displays, the system already knows their zip code, it has their default country and it has their preferred shipping method, either by default or because they have entered in a choice. Shipping costs are now displayed for them and the complaints went away. The method of forcing them to log in was posted to this list probably about 2 months ago. -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Monday, October 29, 2001 at 17:50 PM: ERROR: ERROR: ERROR: ERROR: ERROR: {SMACK} C:\> ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 80 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Todd L.

But, I add this bit of information for the sake of argument... This is what caught my attention originally, also from DBI: 'finish' Indicates that no more data will be fetched from this statement handle before it is either executed again or destroyed... When all the data has been fetched from a 'SELECT' statement, the driver should automat ically call 'finish' for you. So you should not normally need to call it explicitly... The 'finish' method should have been called 'cancel_select'. Given this context, the way I interpret the section of the documentation that you quoted is: There's no need to call finish if you're about to destroy (because 'finish' is called implicitly before the statement handle is destroyed, from DBI::DBD) or re-execute the statement handle. (because 'finish' was already called after all rows in the result set had been fetched) In this case, however, not all data has been fetched from the 'SELECT' statement, so the driver did not automatically call 'finish'. Instead, it had to be called explicitly before the statement handle could be re-executed. Todd L.

Hi everyone, This is my first Interchange store. It's just about ready to roll, but I'm hung up on Shipping. The store will use the following shipping options: Priority Mail, Air Parcel Post, USPS Flat Rate Starting with Priority Mail, here's what I did: Using the "Ground.csv" file as a model, I created "PriorityMail.csv" with all of the current priority mail rates for each postal zone. Then, I created "972.csv" as the postal zone file (which matches the zip code to the zone). Next, I went into the Admin. area of the UI, and in Shipping, created a "USPSPM Priority Mail" method. Calculation is done by weight. So, now that this is all set up, how do I enable Priority Mail to take the receiver's zip code and refer to these weight and zone files for the correct shipping amount?

You need to create a database entry for your PriorityMail.csv file (look at dbconf/*/Ground.dbm for an example.) At that point, if you added the USPSPM method (guessed, you don't mention its code, only its label) it should work upon reconfig, presuming you selected "UPS Internal" as the type and set up the originating zip correctly. -- 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 (Jim Balcom) Date: Mon Oct 29 20:56:00 2001 Subject: [ic] Shipping Question - Referencing Rate and Zone Files?

Well, I think someone may have mentioned this, but the modules that handle payment gateway speaking are located in $INTERCHANGE_ROOT/lib/Payment/ Where $INTERCHANGE_ROOT is where you installed interchange to. Don't confuse this with $CATALOG_ROOT. Basically, if you are in about the ame tree as the interchange and make cat binaries, you are close. Just go into the lib directory instead of the bin directory. Look at those modules each one works a little differently, so hopefully you can find one that best fits the way your bank does it.

Currently only tested on (shame on me) IE5+ and Opera 5.10 on NT4.0 SP6 Many other browser not supported yet. Before I release the first alfa I would like to add support for other (major) browsers as well. Due to time constraints, (I'm currently in the last phase of my MBA study, to be completed in about 6 weeks from now) I would like to invite one of you to assist in the implementation of the multi browser support. So I warmly welcome any JavaScript guru, who's well versed in cross-browser techniques.

Yeah, that's the other option I considered. I may end up there anyway.

Anderson) Date: Tue Oct 30 10:57:01 2001 Subject: [ic] CommonAdjust and ordering items Good morning (or afternoon) all. This has been a great resource to date and I appreciate the help I have recieved so far. Kudos to those that manage the list and for those that make it so great by responding to the variety of questions that are posted. Here is another question for everyone. I am using CommonAdjust with a product that can be customized. What I have created is a pricing table (database) with a "Normal" and "Custom" price (custom price to be added to te Normal price). The following is what Pricing table looks like sku Normal Custom 1 24 8 2 30 8 etc... The following is being used in the catalog config file: PriceField nonexistant_field CommonAdjust pricing:Normal, ==printing:pricing I can add items to the cart with no problem at all, and the [item-price] tag shows me the price under the Normal column of the pricing table. I can also use the [price code=[item-code] printing=Custom] to get the customized price for the item. My question is this; how do I get the [item-price] to recognize that the item should be priced as a Custom item (and add the Custom column from the pricing table to the Normal column)? The reason I ask this is because I need to add items to the cart from outside of hte interchange system, via a regular URL link. I currently have it working for regular items, but I'm not sure how to format the link for the custom item. Thanks for any help that you may be able to provide. I appreciate it.

What I meant was that state is *normally* a GDBM database. Have you tried it that way? Dan Browning From: interchange-users at interchange.redhat.com (Eduardo Dominguez) Date: Tue Oct 30 14:53:01 2001 Subject: [ic] options Thanks for answering. I didnt know clone did that. :) Anyway, what I want to do is assign a real product as an option, for example, a keyboard to a PC. When I change the price of the keyboard, it updates the the price of the "keyboard" option for the PC and also the price of the keyboard itself (when viewed as an individual item). I dont want to have to change two prices, the one for the option, and the one for the item. I hope I am making myself clear.

I have told them that if they spend more than $80 in products, and if they select Ground as their shipping mode that they will get free shipping. With this set up, if they select any other shipping mode they will have to pay for shipping no matter how much they spend. In shipping.asc: fdxg Ground [subtotal noformat=1] 80 999999 e Free Shipping {'ui_ship_type' => "_subtotal",'ups' => "0",} That's all on one line, and it is tab-delimited.

I don't know of one that does this exactly. Perhaps this is something that could be added to that list. What we really need is the http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/faq page back online, and submissions to it. That page seems the best solution, but I suppose it could be hosted elswhere as well.

By default, the link type is "simple", which is a simple search. You can put "prod_group=X, category=Y" in the "selector" field of the cat table and get that to happen. In fact, I think the 4.9 devel CVS has a pages/admin/layout_auto.html file which does that for you automatically.

Unfortunately, as is also the case with the 4.8.2 version, it does not auto generate a complete category list if the products.txt file has a duplicate category name within a prod_group: prod_group category Dog food Dog collar Cat food Cat flea powder The layout_auto.html routine will only create a leftside list as follows: Dog food collar Cat flea powder The second 'food' category doesn't appear on the list. I tried adding the missing duplicate category using the Design: Site Layout page in the UI and then changing the 'field=column pairs' to include the correct group: category=food prod_group=Cat (as in pussy) but this changed the Dog food link to Cat food also. I guess the next step is to clone a category using the table editor for against the cat file. Can this simply be done by hand using vi or are there other dependencies that necessitate the need to use the UI? Perhaps a clone category facility would be good and, perhaps a numeric display along side category names in the layout editor would make this task not so daunting! ;-) I guess the answer for a very automated product file upload/cat listing is to use all unique category names.

So thats just what Im doing right now with Interchange. I have first of all done it with the links between templates, pages and components - which ofcourse means learning some of the IC datastructure, icl language, embedded Perl (neat!) and much much more. Now I want to do a new component, called news, which gets its data from: sql=" SELECT sku,timed_promotion,start_date,finish_date FROM [either]__UI_MERCH_TABLE__[or]merchandising[/either] WHERE featured = '[control news_type news]' "][/query] Where it must be said, that what I want is that I want to have the possibility to create a story in the admin UI Items section, and click Promotion and then tell the system that this is "News". In this way I could get a content management system using the existing IC infrastructure having news (stories) in the places I like them to be. What I have done so far is to: 1. Create a component called news which is basically a copy of the existing foundation component called promo: [comment] ui_component: news ui_component_type: content, vertical ui_component_group: news ui_component_label: News 2. Do some changes in news component to refer to news_ instead of promo_ 3. Add a promotion type called News=>news in the admin UI 4. Add a news code News=news in the news component 5. Edit via admin UI a page, and tell one component setting that it should now be a "News" 6. Just to make sure: restart interchange And it works (a sign of luck, good understanding or powers beyond). Now is my question: will such personal messing around introduce any kind of instability in interchange ?

THE SCENARIO: We use &charge=... in our profile and we want to specify options, for example 'transaction=mauthonly' to say that we don't want to capture, only authorize. The line for this would be: &charge=[var MV_PAYMENT_MODE] transaction=mauthonly If we do so, as a result we see that all options are IGNORED, ie. no matter what parameters are passed they don't arrive to the payment module (say AuthorizeNet.pm). The problem seems to be in the file lib/Vend/Orders.pm: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sub _charge { my ($ref, $params, $message) = @_; my $result; my $opt; if ($params =~ /^custom\s+/) { $opt = {}; } else { $params =~ s/(\w+)\s*(.*)/$1/s; $opt = get_option_hash($2); >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Here $params receives all the parameters passed to &charge (authorizenet transaction=mauthonly). This piece of code splits that in two ($1=authorizenet, $2=transaction=mauthonly), and then $2 is converted to a hash ref through get_option_hash. The problem is that get_option_hash makes some regex checkings at first, and all $2 gets DESTROYED before it's actually used. The way to solve this is: - Use routes to specify payment options. - Use the tag version [charge] but care! if you use it in the profile, you will charge even before the credit card is checked, as all tags are parsed before the profile execution starts. or... - Patch the interchange code to pass a copy of $2, instead of $2 itself: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> else { $params =~ s/(\w+)\s*(.*)/$1/s; my $options = $2; $opt = get_option_hash($options); >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The last has worked for me.

Or do what I did, fix get_option_hash so it doesn't use the stupid $_[0] method of manipulating arguments. It was a very false economy. You should be able to pass $2 with no fear.

Mike, you are an absolute legend. It works very nicely in 4.8.2 For anyone following this, dump the layout_auto.html (attached to Mike's previous post) into the pages/admin directory of any catalog to try it out. Then, whenever you need to rebuild the areas and category lists by pulling in the list of 'prod_group' and 'category' items from your products.txt file, click on 'Design' and 'auto populate'. You should never have problems with duplicate categories in different areas again! To test further I deleted many categories from the 'cat' table and then used auto populate to re-create them with specific search criteria and it works wonderfully.
