Hi Russell,

I work for an e-commerce store based in Scotland. Basically Scotland has 
'counties' just like England and Wales. A quick google turned up this page:

http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/dictionary/tables/counties.php

In which the last table had a decent list of Scottish counties. I've 
found that just allowing users to type in their region/county/state can 
be easier than providing a list half the time.

The default list for "UK" in fact only lists English counties (omitting 
Scotland and Wales). There's a full list of the counties of Great 
Britain here...

http://jonathan.rawle.org/hyperpedia/counties/map98.php

It's worth noting that Great Britain != United Kingdom so if you're 
offering counties when the user selects "UK" you should add 
considerations for Northern Ireland, etc. The CIA have a list of all 
the counties, districts, royal boroughs, etc.

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/uk.html

Perhaps once you decide which of these to include in the list it can be 
added into Interchange CVS, as the default for 5.2 is clearly 
incorrect.

Hi All

IC 5.3
Perl 5.6.1
Mysql

In the last hour I have suddenly been unable to save (OK) from the Item
Editor screen.  This has been tested on 2 catalogs.

This worked fine before an hour ago.  I was simply changing the color on
a <td> within a <table> in the continent of a product.

I was editing a number of products when suddenly it stopped working.
When I press OK the flex_edit is shown in lower corner (IE) but page
eventually times out.

This error is in the apache error log:
copy script args timed out'

I have restarted the server without success.

When you restart Interchange, do you get any errors about the catalog?
Does the startup say that the catalog is loaded?

No, the catalog loads fine like so;

Subject: [ic] Rewrite problems in admin

In an attempt to improve site indexing I have used the rewrite options
below 

    RewriteRule    ^$      /cgi-bin/site/index.html    [PT,L]
    RewriteRule    ^/$     /cgi-bin/site/index.html    [PT,L]

    RewriteRule    ^/(.*)      /cgi-bin/site/$1        [PT,L]

The problem I am running into seems to be with the admin section which
constantly drops me into login.  I am sure that the rewriterules are to
blame but I cannot seem to get on the right track with a solution.  Any
help with this would be greatly appreciated!.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this message;

"/cgi-bin/titl CGI mapping error: Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/titl at /usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/Server.pm line 207." in the interchange error log which corresponds to a "Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/titl" error returned to the browser.

by adding such lines as;

::logGlobal( { level => 'error' }, "script name:".$CGI::script_name."\n");

to the /usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/Server.pm file and restarting interchange.

However I can't get the server to log any of my messages, or respond to any of my code. Though if I put in a syntax error, interchange will not start and reports the error to the command line. Even if I add lines to that file, interchange stil reports the error to be on line 207 of Server.pm.

(I am pretty new to working with packages so I accept that I may have missed something basic)

Thanks,

As some may have guessed this was not actually any Interchange issue!

Apparently the ISP of where my server is hosted was having some problems
(may have been MTU size!).  So host people contacted ISP today whom
seemed to have resolved their problem.

Thanks anyone who read the message.  I do have some real questions to
ask but will get around to them soon.

Dont top post, you'll get less replys that way.

try coping your vlink and tlink programs into the cgi-bin directory or make
a symbolic link to them, that should do it.

if it doesnt then look up "we're sorry the interchange server is not
running" on the development site, also look up starting or restarting
interchange.

I am not sure I understand your question completely.  By the looks of it, it
looks right.

are you doing this in your httpd.conf file or .htaccess file
you may need to specify
RewriteBase /    #or what ever the base maybe
and
Options +FollowSymLinks  #maybe mistype

Good Luck,

   I think I ran into this same problem when I was trying to get my rewrites to
work
to clean up my URLs.  And I think, as I recall, lines such as these should help.

The following is in my .htaccess.

RewriteRule     ^admin/item_edit$ /~YourHome/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/$1$2  [L,NS,PT]
RewriteRule     ^admin/flex_editor$ /~YourHome/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/$1$2  [L,NS,PT]

Most likely someone else knows more and/or has a better solution, but if nothing
else
that could be a start.

Hi,

while trying to troubleshoot a naughty "Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/titl at /usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/Server.pm line 207." error, I have been making changes to the Server.pm file. However I can't get these changes to be reflected by the errors in the /var/logs/interchange/errors.log file. I've set "Variable DEBUG 1" in /etc/interchange.cfg

For example, adding debug lines, such as;

::logDebug("CGI::$field=" . ${"CGI::$field"});

are not causing anything to be logged to the /var/log/interchange/debug.log file, though if I set the "DataTrace 1" there are logs of DBI stuff for the catalogs startup.

I'm running the current interchange 5.2 rpm on RH linux fedora core 2 with the current DBD::mysql modules from cpan with a 5.8.5 build of perl.

Thanks,

Tom Hodder

Try
vbname="[seti newname]value of newname[/seti]"

and you retrieve the value of the variable by
[scratch newname]

or, anyways you have to set the value somewhere before you can call it up.

Hope that helps,
Tom

The VBScript will error out, I believe, if you haven't wrapped the value 
that gets substituted in by Interchange in quotes.  Thus:
dim vbname
vbname = "[scratch newname]"

If the scratch variable 'newname' could potentially have quotes in it, 
you need to account for that, either by removing them or subtituting in 
some appropriate escape sequence.

Thanks for the reply Tom, here is some code to show what I am  trying to do:-

I set a scratch variable on my admin_view page, this works just fine and I can 
display the varible on the screen ok, so I know its been set.

[set myname]
[loop-calc]
        my $myname = q{[loop-data transactions fname] [loop-data transactions 
lname]};
        $myname =~ s/(\S+)/\L\u$1/g;    # first to upper
        $myname;
[/loop-calc]
[/set]

[scratch myname] - Display on screen ok!

Now I have my scratch variable (myname) I am trying to use its value (text 
string) in some vbscript.

I am trying to set my vb variable (vbname) to be equal to the value of the 
scratch variable (myname), I thought this would work:

<script language="vbscript">
dim vbname
vbname = "[scratch myname]"

The bottom got chopped, I have also tried:-

vbname = "[value myname]"

and 

vbname = "[value scratch myname]"

But none work....

Message-ID: <35BBD7D591163144B0827E38AF58965DC0346C@cru80.cahe.ad.wsu.edu>

I am trying to write data to an extra table I have created in the
catalog database.  I am attempting this from a user tag and using the
dbi method.  I am running IC 5.2.0 and the database is MySql.  The table
is recognized in the IC Admin interface and I can create entries via the
Admin interface.  Here is the code I am attempting to use without
success:


::logDebug(qq{\nBEFORE SQL });

   # store the license data in the database under record number
   my $dbh = $Sql{state_licenses}
             or return HTML "Database not shared.";

   my $q = 'INSERT INTO state_licenses (order_number, state, license)'
          . ' VALUES ("0000110", "WA", "WSDL7777")';

   my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $q )
             or return HTML "Couldn't open database";

   $rc = $sth->execute()
             or return HTML "Execute sql failed";

   $sth->finish();
   $dbh->disconnect();

::logDebug(qq{\nAFTER SQL });

This should be simple, but I can't seem to find the correct method to
make it happen.  

Thanks for any assistance,

Prior to the above, you need to do one of these:
     [perl tables="state_licenses"]              (in ITL/HTML file, of 
course).
  -or-
     $Tag->perl({tables => 'state_licenses'});   (in your usertag).

If you do those, you do not (should not) do the $dbh->disconnect();


Alternatively, you could create your own handle with something like:
$dbh = DBI->connect( $::Variable->{SQLDSN}, $::Variable->{SQLUSER}, 
$::Variable->{SQLPASS}, {'RaiseError' => 1} );
which would then require your to later use the $dbh->disconnect();

The first two options are better.

If you aren't doing more than one insert, there are shortcut
methods instead of prepare + execute.

In your "or return" code you might want to write to an error log
so that you'll know about any problems outside of your own testing,
as well as feed the user some kind of nice message.

Make sure [seti myname] first and vb script is using *after* setting the 
myname var.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply, still no joy though, tried [set], [seti] and [tmp] none 
make it work. The scratch variable is set immediately before the vbscript. The 
script is ok as I can manually set the vbname, eg vbname="Andy" works fine, I 
just cannot get vbname to pick up the value of the scratch variable....

Any more suggestions please?

Thanks,
Andy.

I think I may have found the problem, it looks like the scratch variable has a 
carriage return or line feed at the beginning and end of it, can that be 
removed with an extra perl line? Not very good with perl....

Try [scratch name=myname filter=strip] or [filter op=strip 
interpolate=1][scratch myname][/filter].

I have copied both vlink and tlink into my cgi-bin dir, rechecked 
permissions on both the store in my cgi-bin and the socket, to make sure 
they haven't changed. I have restarted IC and even restarted the whole linux 
box I am running
Are there any other files or directories that might need to to have certian

I have, indeed checked the icdevgroup and all over google and yahoo for the 
messages We're sorry the server is unavaible, and in different ways. I have 
tried everything everyone has suggested, even on holder versions of IC that 
they had.
I have a fresh, full, and completely updated install of Fedora Core 3.

Well guys,
I did it. withall your help, tom brian, and a couple of others I have missed 
your name
I was able to get my server to work.
I went and reran bin/makecat, and this time instead of using UNIX, I 
switched over to INET, and opened a port that it asked for on my router.
This is the first time I ever used this option.
Of course I am on the lan with the server, so I won't know it will still 
work, when I get home, but for now, I can select products and checkout, 
although it is ladders and brushes.
I don't get We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable  anymore.

Thank you
I am sure I will have questions on other things but now that I can get in, I 
can get to work.

Subject: [ic] Problem with Content Editor on 5.2.0 
Message-ID: <41B0A012.7040009@thinkopensource.com>

Hi,

I have a client using IC 5.2.0, and experiences occasional problems with the content editor.
When editing a page in the admin tools, the text will appear cutoff in the 'CONTENT' area with a 
series of characters which look like squares with a black outline. When I look at the source code 
for the page these characters appear to be &#0;
When I pico into the page all the original text is there in the CONTENT area, however up at the top 
of the page in the [comment] section is the cut off portion of the text which looks something like this.

ui_body: <table width="560" align="center"><tr><td>Call tollfree 1-866-462@^@^@^@^@^@^@


the @^ is repeated over 1000 times

if my client now saves this page, it overwrites the content with the gobledygook that is in the ui_body

Has anyone ever experience this before? She has experienced this on both netscape 7 and IE6.

Thanks

Mat

I am trying to get dealer pricing to work with out
quanties.  I have a user in my db setup as a dealer
(dealer=1)  I have the price and the whole sale price
filled in on the  item, however, when the user goes to
the item, they always see the normal price, not the
wholesale price.  

Here is a clip from my catalog.cfg, can someone help
me.  I am running interchange-5.0.1-1 (from rpm)

If I need to upgrade to fix this, that is ok.   
Please let know,
John

(below is the clip from catalog.cfg)



Profile dealer <<EOR

Subject: [ic] Order search memory use
Message-ID: <084c01c4d96d$61205cb0$250a8b0a@chris>

Interchange 4.8.8 on Freebsd 4.7, perl 5.8.2.

>From reading the archives it appears that when you click on the orders
button it loads all the orders into memory.  For a couple of our clients
this results in an interchange process that grows to 160 mb of ram when

the transactions table and 80,000 entries in the orderline table.  I
switched these catalogs over to using postgresql from the default dbm files

Hi,

I used to use rewrites to clean things up too but even after 'fixing
everything up' I'd still have problems in admin sometimes.   The best
thing is to use ActionMaps and mod_interchange to do the same thing.
Search the archives for more info on these + see docs.  There also is,
if memory serves, a very good email about using rewrites to clean up
all your urls somewhere in the archives so maybe you'll find that too.

Best,
Bryan

If you're using PostgreSQL, one thing you can do is create a view of your
orders table that only includes certain orders: pending status, or less
than 30 days old, not archived, etc. Then have the admin use that view to
display your orders, instead of the table directly.

There are other ways to do it, but this way has the nice side-effect of 
being easy to reuse in various places you want to have the same "current 
orders" type display, whether in Interchange or not.

If you don't need to see any orders on that initial page at all, you can
set the database attribute in Interchange's catalog.cfg (or the
appropriate included file) to LARGE, like this:

Database transactions LARGE 1

Then restart Interchange, and the admin will not show all rows by default,
but will still let you search.

i think em requires an exact match of the whole field to the search string.
more likely the url generated with:

   [area
	search=|
	    sf=prod_group
	    se=picture
	    se=sea
	    se=big
	|
   ]

that will limit the search to one field, and require all the se= values
to be found.

you didn't create it as it is in the example. it has to be a valid Perl
syntax, and the below is not.

make it match the provided examples, i.e.

Profile dealer <<EOR

        CommonAdjust => 'pricing:q1: ;:sale_price',
        NonTaxableField => 'nontaxable',

I've seen this before and put it down to a server 'glitch', I have never seen 
it on my home development system but that is on my home lan. I always make 
sure I backup a page before doing anything on it at all, which is good 
practice anyway. Sorry that is not much help but I have seen it before so its 
not just your server.

Hi Folks,

Is anyone using Seagull Bartender via interchange for label printing, I am 
currently using a Dymo machine and some code posted by someone else but would 
like to move to a Citizen CLP-521 thermal printer (which I already have).

If anyone could recommend anything else to print with a CLP-521 then I would 
be interested in that as well?

Thanks,
Andy.

Andy's post about label printers reminded me to write this, but I
didn't want to hijack his thread.

I'm planning on switching from Windows and its USPS and FedEx shipping
software to Linux and IC for my shipping workstation.  I'm hoping to
use some of the tags posted to the list to be able to print USPS and
FedEx shipping labels, but I'm having trouble finding a thermal label
printer that will work in Linux.  Does anyone have a recommendation?

Also, if anyone is interested in a Zebra LP 2844 that works great in
Windows but I can't get to work in Linux, let me know.  A few rolls of
labels too.

We maintain the perl module for FedEx (Business-FedEx-DirectConnect,
http://search.cpan.org/~jpowers/Business-FedEx-DirectConnect-1.01/) and it
should work with your printer (I think your printer supports EPL).

The label code can be changed to ZPL (Zebra Printer Language) or EPL (Eltron
Printer Language) via codes 1368, 1369, and 1370...see the FedEx tagged
transaction guide for more info.

Once set up, all you have to do is open a port to the printer and dump 
the ASCII
  label data returned from FedEx.  We helped set up a large volume warehouse
running Linux and Perl with Zebra printers.

   If you really want to get rid of it I'll take it for sure, but that is
exactly what
I use for printing FedEx labels.  I have it connected via the serial port
and do
an open of file and printer, write file to printer and close.  The file is
a PNG
image returned from FedEx.  Here is the Perl code I have which I'm sure
can be improved upon

  open (PNG, $labelFile) or die "Could not open PNG file $!";
  open (ZEBRA, ">/dev/ttyS0") or die "Could not open serial port $!";
    my $line = '';
    $line = <PNG>;
    while ($line) {
    print ZEBRA $line;
      # This will send it to the Zebra printer print ZEBRA $line;
      $line = <PNG>;
    }

  close(PNG);
  close(ZEBRA);

Does anyone use this printer for printing USPS labels and if so what
format
of file do you write to the printer ?

I'm having a problem where I've set an item under "Shipping/Tax/Other" to
Taxable=No. I then go and add the item to my shopping chart, go to the
checkout screen and select my state. It says I am going to be taxed and then
adds tax to the item.  

All other items in our database should be taxed, except one.  This one is a
voucher that someone would take into a store to purchase a product and
should not be taxed upon purchasing it.  Can someone tell me what I am
missing or should to make this work correctly?

Thanks

try this instead.  :)
 
$sql = "INSERT INTO state_licenses (order_number, state, license)" 
     . "VALUES ('0000110', 'WA', 'WSDL7777')";
$Tag->query({sql => $sql, table => "state_licenses" }) or return HTML

BTW, if you intend to use cgi variables and such in the insert instead
of the values you have in there right now, you'll want to (read: you
better) filter the results using either
 
$some_value =~ s/([\\'])/\1\1/g;
 
or
 
$value = $Tag->filter({op => 'sql'}, $value);
 
the former is preferable for mysql databases, as it also escapes
backslashes (which mysql can use for quoting, unlike most other

I still think easiest of all is:

[perl tables=state_license]
	my $db = $Db{state_license};
	my %record = (
	    order_number => '0000110',
	    state        => 'WA',
	    license      => 'WSDL7777',
	);

	my $new_key = $db->set_slice(undef, \%record);

[/perl]

you don't need to worry about formatting the SQL, filtering the values,
or anything.

i understand that some people have a certain level of familiarity with
SQL and DBI, but for simple single-record setting there is no need to
go through all that.

Subject: [ic] two-tiered admin setup, how?
Message-ID: <1102351193.26593.41.camel@aivas.gg.ee>

Hello folks!

Have another problem, multiple levels of admins, no help on docs or list
whatsoever, searched thoroughly.  Lengthy description but it is needed,
seems that the problem is easily misunderstood.

The Question shortly: "What must i put in table_control field for a
admin, to limit the admin to those rows in userdb and transactions that
have his username as value in "owner" field?"

Longer explanation of setup:
There are two groups of admins on my system: salespersons and managers. 
Salespersons are supposed to only see and modify customers they have
made and orders of those customers. Managers should have access to all
customers and orders. This goes for everything in UI:viewing, editing,
reporting.

To accomplish this, on userdb and transaction tables there is "owner"
field set with username of salesperson that the record belongs to.

Now, if I use:
TableRestrict userdb owner=username
TableRestrict transactions owner=username
everything works just fine, except, for the manager to have access to
ALL records he has to be flagged as "super". Which is bad, because it
gives him access to UI edit tools, which he should not have.

Now, if I could instead set the "owner" field setting on per-admin
basis, I could set it for each salesperson(limiting them to record each
owns) and not set for manager(thereby giving him access to all records),
and would not need to set manager as "super", so he cant try out some
"edit menu" control in UI and fsck up all the system.

While searching lists i have seen hints that the table_control field in
access.asc can be used for setting per-row and per-column access. 
However there is no information about actual function and syntax for
this field.

The Answer must be out there, but i have searched for weeks and no wiser
:(  Can someone please help me out on this?

thanks for support
zrg

Hi Jon,

Only looking to print out the shipping address, nothing else, so it is not

We did see something similar to this a while ago. If I recall we were 
using the HTMLAREA widget from 5.3 and did not have the proper language 
setting set for the site/widget.

Once we reset the language option for the HTMLAREA widget the problem 
was resolved. I believe that it was related to the interpretation of 
white-space and the UTF-8 character set.

However, if you are not using the widget, then this would not apply.

YMMV,

Subject: [ic] quantity pricing with price_group
Message-ID: <41B4BC0A.8010709@rickbragg.net>

Hi,

I have quantity pricing set up right and it works just fine. with carts 
and checkout. However the [price code=00004 quantity=5] tag shows the 
price for q1.


I have the following in my etc/after.cfg file:

Database          pricing pricing.txt 1

AutoModifier pricing:price_group

CommonAdjust <<EOF,
         pricing:price_group,q5,q30:,
         ;products:price,
         ==:options
EOF

And this is in my pricing database:

sku     price_group      q5      q30
00002   coffee           6.00    5.00
00003   coffee           6.00    5.00
00004   coffee           6.00    5.00
00005   coffee           6.00    5.00


If I take out the "AutoModifier" line, then the price shows up OK in the 
[price] tag but then it does not work in the carts or checkout. It seems 
that I can only get the group pricing to work in the checkout and/or 
carts if I have the "AutoModifier" in the config file, but it only works 
in the "[price code=00004 quantity=5]" tag if the "AutoModifier" line is 
left out of the config file.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Rick

I am trying out the switch user function from the "customers" panel.  

Is there a way I can tell if a user was *previously* logged in as a
privileged user (like and admin or superuser)? 

I think there must be some way to tell.  If I logout, I become the last
user I was logged in as.

I am trying this method.  Basically, I look in session to see if 'su'
has been set:

[perl]
if($Session->{su})
{
    return "You were an admin before!";
}
else
{
    return "You were never an admin!";
}
[/perl]


Is this a good idea, is it safe to rely on this?


Thanks in advance.

Subject: [ic] Login Cookie
Message-ID: <20041207003650.BD6A3200083@mail.perusion.com>

Hello,

A customer complained about setting the username and password in a cookie
for "auto-login."  A look at this page:

http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=icconfig05%2e13

Shows this is what happens.  Is there a good reason security-wise to use an
md5 hash table or some other form of unique identification for auto-login,
rather than username/password in a cookie?

Anyone else have concerns about this?

Thanks,

Russell Mann

Sorry if I was unclear what I was thinking but I wasn't meaning to literally su to the
user.
You're the admin of the cart and unless you have passwords encrypted couldn't
you log in as that user to solve what you're trying to accomplish ?

  I use the LP 2844 Zebra printer.  I was at BestBuy the other day and noticed
some others that looked similar to the Zebra; at least for the label size.  I
wonder
if those would work.  Not sure if you read the spawned thread from your original
post.
There was a mention of the FedEx Business Perl package as well as a reference to
printing to the Zebra printer.

This is very likely due to the threaded Perl shipped by Debian sarge.
Presumably it would go away if you install unthreaded Perl instead.

Saving MD5 in a cookie instead of a password makes no sense.

MD5 is not reversable - the computer can't devise the original password
out of it in any way. So that means you would just be sending a md5
hash to the server instead of a plain-text password - which makes no
difference - a person who gets his hands on your cookie file could log in
anyway; this would just add pointless overhead on the server (calculating
md5s etc).

Finally, all similar systems save your actual password in the cookie file
unless you disable it.

If your client was concerned about localhost security, then he should
avoid saving login cookies. If he was concerned about network security,
then you could make sure the login goes over SSL ([process secure=1]).

Subject: [ic] matrix options fail to generate all combinations
Message-ID: <1102427356.13975.98.camel@test.localnetsolutions.com>

I am having trouble witrh the matrix options in 5.2. I generate a new
item, save it, then go to create the options for it. This item has two
options, size an material. Both size and material affect the price.

So I create both options with the details and the price variants. When I
press the "Generate all combinations" button, nothing happens. The
error.log shows a database error based on a null value for sku on a not
null field. The setup for the options shows that a number will be
generated if left blank. 

Error line starts below:

sesewing /cgi-bin/sesewing/admin/item_option_old.html Safe: DBD::Pg::st
execute failed: ERROR:  ExecInsert: Fail to add null value in not null
attribute sku at /usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/Table/DBI.pm line 1386.

The it lists the debugging output that shows the backend perl code.

If I create a simple type option, it works just fine. It still fails
regardless of price variants being included. 

What is a good starting point to get this working?

That won't work, because if I become the regular user, I don't have the
credentials I need.


I need to create a quotation for a user from non-standard products.

My approach was to try to use the "saved cart" feature.  I have a
special page for admins (privileged users) allowing importing quotations
from another system.  This should not be accessible to regular
customers.  The quote is imported and stuffed into a shopping cart, all
the items are basically "on the fly" items.


The issue I am having is the administrator needs to be able to save a
named shopping cart (containing the quotation) on behalf of another
user.


I found if I log in as admin and click on the "customers" tab, there is
a nice switch user function.  I can look into session and check if
$Session->{su} exists.  If it does, I can allow access to my privileged
functions.


This all seems to work, but I am wondering if it is safe to rely on the
existence of $Session->{su} for determining if the user's previous login
was su?

Situtation:

Customer clicks to add an item to his ord/order.html which is SSL but then 
goes back to shopping on the non SSL pages.  The result is that the 
cart_tiny display does not display items unless you are in a secure page.

My questions is how can you make [item-list] read from the SSL cart or is 
this not possible.

Any help in the right direction would be great,

Do you have SELinux enabled in strict mode? I wonder if your cgi-bin 
directory isn't allowed to have executables by SELinux policy. You may 
want to double-check all your logs.

the thing i struggle with is why do you care? and safe for what value
of safe? anyone who can create embedded perl code which you run
can do

	[calc] $Session->{su} = 1 [/calc] 

This value will be reset every page transaction, so it will only persist
for that page.

Because I don't want "regular" users to have access to privileged
functionality/pages (namely my quote building pages).  I need to see if
the user was last logged in as an admin, and then determine access.

And I guess by safe, I mean reliable and non-spoofable (not from a
programming standpoint, but from the client).

then it is safe from that standpoint, particularly if that part
of the page tree is not writable by the interchange user ID.

Hi list:

I just installed Interchange 5.2 on my Debian box. I created a new 
catalog with makecat and can access the main site. When clicking on 
"customer entrance" or "admin interface" I get a "Undefined catalog: 
/cgi-bin/ic/test" error message.

I have the following entry in my catalog.cfg file:

Catalog       sinesse /var/lib/interchange/catalogs/test /exec/ic/test

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Wojtek

You might have already done this but didn't state it:

Restart interchange using something like:
su -s /bin/bash interchuser -c '/pathto/interchange/bin/interchange -r'

Look for any messages.

Also you may have to change permissions in the catalog dir before the 
catalog will load.
chown -R interchangeuser /pathto/catalog/catalogname

Thanks for the reply. I found out what the problem was. In the 
/etc/interchange/features.cfg file I had to set the line "Variable 
USE_FOUNDATION" to "Variable USE_FOUNDATION 1". I guess this is a 
Debian specific thing...?

  Could this be the ole Shopping cart is dropped when using SSL issue ?
Check this link
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=icfaq04%2e01
Or have you been working on rewrites ? Or seems like there are a few things
that can cause this.  Check out the archives at icdevgrooup.org and search on
a few of the obvious words such as 'dropped shopping cart' or 'dropped cart
SSL'

Is the URL to the SSL secure server different than that of the regular cart?

If so, that is the problem...

The session cookie can't be read from another domain, so interchange
makes a new one.  Once it goes back to the other domain, Interchange
reads the other, item-less session.  Your only choice is to put the
entire catalog on the secure url, only without the secure...

I have a similar problem with the 5.2 rpm file on Fedora core 2 for new catalogs made
with makecat. (The foundation catalog seems to be working fine)

However I don't have a /etc/interchange folder for config, nor does it appear that
features.cfg has been installed as part of the rpm anywhere.

How did you troubleshoot to find out that problem?

Cheers,

Tom

It appears that IC doesn't heed the current locale for searches and
filters (upper). Unfortunately I didn't find time to fix this problem.

Hi Tom:

I just had a look into the features.cfg file and realized that there is 
a ifdef statement that only includes my catalogs when the variable 
USE_FOUNDATION is set to 1.

I don't know why there are no config files in your /etc directory. The 
installation on my debian box created all seccessary files.

Can somebody else help here?

Thanks,
Gregor

Message-ID: <1102518319.11307.3.camel@mail.daemonracing.com>

Hello All,

I just installed Interchange 5.2.0 on RedHat Enterprise 3.0.  I can
start interchange just fine and restart but when I hit the link and get
to the Customer/Admin screen I can't do anything there.  If I click on
Customer Entrance or Admin Interface it looks like it is trying to do
something but then I get the following error:

We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable...
We are out of service or may be experiencing high system demand. Please
try again soon.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?  I also did try restarting it but
no luck.

Thanks
Tito

The RPMs don't create a features.cfg.

Mostly likely you were root when you ran makecat, and now the Interchange 
daemon can't write to the catalog directories for its status and log 
files. Try doing (as root):

chown -R interch:interch /var/lib/interchange/your-catalog-dir

And then restart Interchange.

I've never looked at a DBI trace before, but my code sense tells me the
execute('SCBC') is a bit strange...
You might want to figure out where that execute is happening, and make
sure the right stuff is getting passed to it. 
 
BTW, DBI 1.45-ithread?  you using threads?

perhaps it's just a typo, or some url strangeness, but /cgi-bin/ic/test
!= /exec/ic/test.
the last component is a url fragment, not a filename, so make sure the
url that you want to use matches the url listed in interchange.cfg.

Look at the error.log file in your catalog.  

If it is complaining about multi-thread or sdbm errors, you need to
re-install perl with the correct configuration options.

This perl re-install process should work for RH EL3:

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info but I did install a non-threaded perl.  I took a
look at the link you sent me and I did everything that was on that
page.  Unfortunately I can't seem to still get those two links to work. 
The error.log is not complaining about anything either.  Any other
suggestions?

Hi:

I am trying to get the mod_interchange module running on my Debian box. 
I am using Apache 1.3.33 and Interchange 5.2.

My catalog.cfg says the following:
Catalog       test /var/lib/interchange/catalogs/test /shop/test


I inserted the following into my httpd.conf:
LoadModule interchange_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_interchange.so

<Location /shop/test>
         SetHandler interchange-handler
         InterchangeServer /var/run/interchange.sock
</Location>

When trying to connect with my browser I get an "Internal Server Error".

The apache error log gives me the following error:

[Wed Dec  8 10:17:38 2004] [error] (2)No such file or directory: access 
to /shop/test failed for 10.10.10.119, reason: Connection failed


Do you know what I am doing wrong?


Thanks in advance,
Gregor

not even starting interchange)...please help someone...I have been
fighting this interchange for over 2 weeks now and no luck...I won't
give up because I have seen it used before and I like it...hahaha ;-)

So here is that error I get when hitting the customer or admin links:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that
may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.

This is a work in progress and it is up to you to discove

It really is fairly easy to work with if you read the faqs

Otherwise set SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config

still get the same error when I hit the links.

Subject: [IC] Search problem
Message-ID: <GPEPLHLEJFCCEPKPCFECIEMGDLAA.tode@bpanet.de>

Hallo list.

I'd a problem with case insensitiv search using locale ru_RU.KOI8-R.
Guess it had to be a combination with IC, Perl and the locale enviroment of
the interchange user.

Product table is the products.txt (charset CP1251). Yesterday we converted
it to KOI8-R, but thats change nothing.

To test interchange, the server and the configuration, I installed a
Interchange 4.8.6 on a second machine.
Here the specification of the 2 systems :

1. (Real online shop)
FreeBSD 4.7
Interchange 5.2.0
Perl 5.8.5 (without GDBM)

2. (Testserver)
FreeBSD
Interchange 4.8.6
Perl 5.8.0

Has anyone an idea?

Could be there some side effects?
Is it possible the catalog itself could produce this error? Or maybe the
catalog produce a side effect for that error.

To the interchange developer:
Is there a documentation about the search engine, that explained, how
everything is connected?

Regards,

Lars

Check the permissions on your /var/run/interchange.sock socket file,
and try using "SocketPerms 0666" in your interchange.cfg file to see
if that corrects any permission problems.

Subject: [ic] Need Help Excluding Selected Items From Subtotal
Message-ID: <41B89034.3000002@globalfocusdm.com>

Hi ICers,

I need to exclude some specific items from the [subtotal] and 
[total-cost] calculations and then add in their item subtotals once the 
final total with shipping has been calculated.

I was doing this by creating a modified version of the subtotal UserTag 
that took the subtotal of said items and subtracted it from the order 
subtotal. This gave me problems once an ENTIRE_ORDER discount was 
applied, along with a few other problems.

I've decided that a better way to do tackle this would be to "set aside" 
these items when the cart is read in to any total- or 
subtotal-calculating tags. Before I go messing around with anything too 
much, I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how best to do this.

To Review:
In the checkout page, I want to:

1. Set aside selected items in cart by sku pattern match, store subtotal 
for later use.

2. Subtotal, Entire Order Discounts, shipping, etc. are calculated 
without total cost of excluded items.

3. Order total is calculated as normal, with excluded item subtotal 
added in afterward.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tom

Message-ID: <211df4c32761f1ecb3afa646c78b7d7a@ecnow.co.uk>

Hi,

I have modified the foundation catalog with my old templates and product database, and now want to have it serve my old interchange site which was at /cgi-bin/titl

so ive got 

Catalog  foundation  /var/lib/interchange/foundation  /cgi-bin/foundation /cgi-titl

in my /etc/interchange.cfg 

and a copt of the foundation cgi at /var/www/cgi-bin/titl

and done a reconfigure. but im getting a ;
212.28.0.10 - - [09/December/2004:19:21:40 +0000] - /cgi-bin/titl CGI mapping er
ror: Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/titl at /usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/Server.pm
 line 207.

error in the logs when I access that url and a Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/titl returned for that url.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers.

I'm assuming that, as you used /var/run/interchange.sock in your
mod_interchange configuration, that is the correct location for the
socket file.  You should double-check that and check the permissions
on the /var and /var/run directory.  For instance, my socket file is
/opt/interchange/etc/socket.  I'm also assuming that Interchange is
up and running.

You could try switching both Interchange and mod_interchange to Inet
mode, which will rule out socket file problems altogether.

It's difficult to offer further suggestions with the information given,
and it's also difficult to think of other information to request.

You've defined "/cgi-bin/foundation" in the Catalog directive and
appear to be trying to use "/cgi-bin/titl" - according to the error
message.  I assume that "/cgi-titl" works ok, although it's an
odd name; Perhaps just "/titl" would be better.

I usually prefer to do this sort of mapping using Apache rewrite rules
and permanent redirects.  After a month or so, all of the search engines
should have taken note of the redirect and you can safely remove the
old access method.  You don't have to remove it, of course.

Apache rewrite rules also prevent your website from being indexed twice
(once for each URI naming scheme) by the search engine spiders.  This
will firstly reduce the load on your server and secondly reduce the
chances of you being thought of as a spammer and blacklisted by various
search engines.

Subject: [ic] Problem with recalculation on checkout page
Message-ID: <BAY1-F6DD0BBF4E166531C8FF81A5B70@phx.gbl>

I last used Minivend some 3 years ago, and it's evolution has really come a 
long way.
I require being able to give a discount for C.O.D. payments and am using the 
following for the calculation:

[if type=value term=mv_order_profile op=eq compare="cod"]
	[discount ENTIRE_ORDER] $s * .98 [/discount]
[else]
[/else]
[/if]
[if type=value term=mv_order_profile op=eq compare="credit_card"]
	[discount ENTIRE_ORDER] $s  [/discount]
[else]
[/else]
[/if]

I am only using the 2 payment methods, credit card and C.O.D. and credit 
card is the default that shows in the drop down list. On the checkout page, 
at first It shows the correct price calculation in the shopping cart. When I 
toggle to C.O.D., it still shows the credit card price and when I toggle 
back to credit card, it shows the C.O.D. price. After this point, when I 
change payment method, the wrong amount consistently shows. Clicking the 
"recalculate" button in checkout.html does cause the correct amount to 
display.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to why the recalculate is not done on the 
first time that the drop down list is changed, but only on subsequent 
changes?
payment_select contains this code:

<SELECT NAME="mv_order_profile" onChange="this.form.submit()">
[if variable CREDIT_CARDS_ACCEPTED]
<option [selected mv_order_profile credit_card] 
value="credit_card">[L]Credit Card[/L]
  .
  .
</SELECT>

I am using Interchange 5.2, perl 5.8.5.
Thanks.

Hi,

I see that there is a preference in the Internationalization section called "LOCALES", but I can't seem to work out what it effects. I've looked through the i18n docs, but don't see it directly mentioned. Anyone tell me what it does?

Also I have added a locale.txt colulmn for my en_GB, and the prices are showing in pounds as I have set my default locale to en_GB, but none of my [L] transalations are being picked up. Does this need to be enabled somewhere?

Where did you put the [L] tags ? Do you see the translated strings in 
the administration ?

sorry. in my haste i did not check that my modified locale.txt had been taken by the upload. (I had edited locale.txt in excel and uploaded it) but it had been rejected or something had gone wrong during the upload and it was using and earlier version of the locale.txt.

But what does the LOCALES preference in the internationalization section do?

Are all permissions correct ?

in cgi-bin:
-rwsr-xr-x    1 interch  interch      7688 Jun 21 13:19 found530

ps -ef|grep inter:

[root@att6 cgi-bin]# ps -ef|grep inter
interch  29547     1  0 Dec09 ?        00:00:00 interchange

So it all runs under the user interch here...

Don't give up, it's a great product !

Hi,
We have multiple catalogs. Each catalog tends to have its own domain 
(A,B,C ...), but the checkout area for all of the catalogs is hosted on 
a single domain (Z,because of the extorsionate price of secure 
certificates).

However some customers were doing the following:
Look at site A, store session id 1 in cookie
Look at secure domain Z, get session id 1 in secure cookie
Look at site B, store session id 2 in cookie
Look at secure domain Z, restore session id 1 from cookie (Bad)

At least this is what i think was going on. I think that the A domain 
cookie was supposed to encapsulate the Z domain too but this wasn't 
happening in practise.

Anyway I decided to set the CookieDomain directive on our sites to the 
non secure domains (A,B,C), but we still host sites for other people who 
use cookies on the secure domain as well so this is not ideal.

If both the non secure domains (A,B,C ...), and the secure domain (Z) 
had conflicting cookies, when you go from the B (browsing) to Z 
(checkout) interchange will:
1) Ignore any ?id= or mv_session_id= parameters passed to it
2) Ignore the secure domain cookie because it thinks it has expired/not 
in CookieDomain
3) Generate a completely new session Id
4) As a result customers would lose all the contents of their basket etc

I changed this to:
1) Ignore the secure domain cookie if it isn't in CookieDomain
2) Try and retain the id that was passed to the page

Diffs attached for lib/Vend/Dispatch.pm. Its a bit custom for us but 
might be worth a look in.

Sandy.

Are the separate catalogs separate businesses? If so, suck it up and 
get a certificate for each site.

Trying to figure out how to make scan/search always use secure pages.

example

In category_vertical I would like all the searchs to use secure=1

www.mysite.com/cart/scan/fi=products/st=db/co=yes/sf=prod_group/se=cool/op=eq.html

secure.mysite.com/cart/scan/fi=products/st=db/co=yes/sf=prod_group/se=cool/op=eq.html

catalog.cfg
Tried adding results_big, scan, page to this but no go

## Set this if you have a different secure server
AlwaysSecure   order ord/checkout ord/basket ord/finalize login 
change_password process

I think I am just a bit off on the processing of the code here can anyone 
stear me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi,

I updated my server from Freebsd 4.10 to 5.2. After a hard time, I was able to make interchange work in Freebsd 4.10. Now in 5.2, the compilation went perfectly, and it is working properly, but I ran into a problem when I run makecat. Interchange is not creating the tables. I check the error.log, and everything seems to be ok. In addition, I check out installation problems, and I could not find any. I tried to find information through your website to find past question in google, but I was not able to find anything. It seems to be a problem with DBD:mysql, but I just don't know how to fix it. I don't want to create the tables manually. If I copy the tables from my backup. Should it work?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try adding "scan" to AlwaysSecure?

stumped.  I'm trying to setup a search profile to use sql syntax.  

I've included this in catalog.cfg:

SearchProfile    etc/search.profiles


Here is what I have in etc/search.profiles:

__NAME__ test_sql
mv_searchtype=sql
mv_sql_query=Select sku from products
__END__

Here is how I call it:

<a href="[area href="scan" arg="mp=test_sql"]">test_sql</a>


Here is the error I get:

Sorry, there was an error in processing this form action. Please report
the error or try again later. (Can't use string ("BAD_SQL") as an ARRAY
ref while "strict refs" in use
at /usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/DbSearch.pm line 153. )


I've found lots of little snippets in the archives, and I've searched
for just about anything I can think of in the docs and archives, but no
silver bullet yet.  This is my first time using search profiles with sql
syntax so I'm probably missing something very simple.  

Thank you in advance for any help or a point in the right direction.

You could try adding

&fail=checkout-step1

to your form profile.  Not sure about your choice of page name, might 
want checkout_step1. 

Also I think the preferred form action is now something like:

<form action="[area checkout-step1]" method="post">

or to be safe with that page name:

<form action="[area href="checkout-step1"]" method="post">

and you can eliminate the mv_nextpage and mv_failpage lines.

Jon,

  Here is what I have trying to cover the bases but it doesn't seem to work 
with scan all others yes and i did restart.

AlwaysSecure <<EOF
         scan
         account
         change_password
         customerservice
         login
         logout
         new_account
         ord/basket
         ord/checkout
         ord/finalize
         results
         order
         process
         query/check_orders
         query/order_detail
         query/order_return
         returns
         saved_carts
         ship_addresses
EOF


how can I get cat to = secure in In category_vertical that would fix it up?

[loop prefix=cat

  se=[box-code]
 "

           And if you're talking SSL check out whichssl.com.  That site is
supported by one
of the providers, don't recall which one, but it's a decent place to
start.

Thanks for your help. Now it works with the following form:

<form action="[area href="checkout"]" method="post">
<input type=hidden name=mv_form_profile value="check_this">
<input type=hidden name=mv_action value="return">
<input type=hidden name=mv_failpage value="checkout-step1">
<input type=hidden name=mv_success_href value="checkout-step2">

But when I am returned to the same page again in case of an error the 
entered values are not displayed. So I have to enter all values all over 
again. My form compontents look like this:

<input type=text name=fname value="[value fname]">

What is wrong with this?

Thanks in advance,
Wojtek

Message-ID: <41B9EB11.7020001@wes-state.com>

Hello list

I've got a new client and I'm trying to create a login routine much like 
the affiliate login routine.  The database is nha.db and consist of rows
code|agree|name|email|company|etc.... from an imported text file nha.txt

In catalog.cfg I have...

# minimal login stuff for nha affiliate
UserDB  nha  database        nha
UserDB  nha  user_field      email
UserDb  nha  pass_field      code
UserDB  nha  crypt           0
 
which should use the email field for the username and code field for the 
password

In the login page I have...

[set NHALogin]
[if session logged_in]
[userdb logout]
[/if]
[userdb function=login profile=nha]
[/set]


<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<FORM ACTION="[process secure=1]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_session_id value="[data session id]">

      </td>
    </tr>
 with the go to if succeed page page of...

[if !session logged_in]
[or session login_table ne 'nha']
    [bounce page="nha/login"]
[/if]
But I get errors of...

I've tried UserDB nha indirect_login email in catalog.cfg. And I've 
tried  adding a parameter in profile.login  of...

[snip stuff]

Sorry I can't offer more help on your actual question, but have you checked
out the multiple page checkout in the 'mike' demo? It has "received quite a
bit of testing". It is a very nice platform to start from or at least learn
more about it. Hope that helps someone.

Good luck!

You should look here :

http://www.icdevgroup.org/interchange-doc-5.2.0/frames/ic_ecommerce_21.html

and  here

http://www.icdevgroup.org/interchange-doc-5.2.0/frames/ictemplates_36.html

and look at:

&update

That will help you get a handle on profiles and form checking.  Also the 
reply by Curt regarding the "mike" demo AKA the "standard" is a good 
one, there are many examples of form and page flow control there.....

Try a setting like that:

UserDB nha database company nha
UserDB nha indirect_login email
UserDB nha crypt 0
UserDB nha user_field code

The username in the session ([data session username]) will be then
the value from the code column.

I'm not sure how these topics get threaded when emails are submitted, but I 
think I resolved this issue.
The [total-cost] figure in the shopping_cart had actually been correct but 
the subtotal, tax and shipping were incorrect because the location of

[if type=value term=mv_order_profile op=eq compare="cod"]
[discount ENTIRE_ORDER] $s * .98 [/discount]
[else]
[/else]
[/if]
[if type=value term=mv_order_profile op=eq compare="credit_card"]
[discount ENTIRE_ORDER] $s [/discount]
[else]
[/else]
[/if]

was just before the [total-cost] instead of before the [subtotal] - the 
calculations, I guess, are done sequentially.

Message-ID: <000001c4e040$c57626c0$0d311dac@lilux.co.il>

Re: [ic] Matrix options with no price differential from master itemHi All,

This is a topic that was discussed here before but with no clear/full 
answer.
I have a catalog that uses bought Matrix options & Price levels (for 
deferent members).
I have:
price ? regular price
pa-       level a price
pb-       level b price
I want the options (variants table) will use the main item prices.
It works perfectly if I add the prices to the variants table.
Since the options have the same prices as the main item, there is actually 
no need for those prices.

If some one can post here an explanation or example it will be great.

The correct location for installations from Debian packages is
/var/run/interchange/interchange.sock.

Subject: [ic] profiles.order vs inline [set check_shipping]
Message-ID: <e68e50132aac7cac5b585171134d105f@ecnow.co.uk>



Hi,

I am putting together some multi-step order pages and am using the form profiles to do it. I've noticed something odd, well that I don't understand anyway.

If I have a form like so;

    <form action="[process secure=1]" method="POST" name=checkout_shipping>
    <input type=hidden NAME=mv_session_id value="[data session id]">
    <input type=hidden NAME=mv_doit       value=return>
        <input type=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage      value="ord/billing">
        <input type=hidden NAME=mv_failpage      value="ord/shipping">
        <input type=hidden NAME=mv_form_profile value="check_shipping2">
[set check_shipping2]
    &fatal=no
    &update=yes
    __COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE__
    &fail=@@MV_PAGE@@
    &fatal=yes
    email=email
[/set]

and the form fails, ie email is not set or something, it fails back to @@MV_PAGE@@, however if I do this same form, but define the form profile in the profiles.order file like this;

__NAME__                              check_shipping2
    &fatal=no
    &update=yes
    __COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE__
    &fail=ord/checkout_shipping
    &fatal=yes
    email=email
__END__

when there are errors, the errors are detected (they can be displayed by whatever page is in the mv_nextpage variable), but interchange doesn't fail and go to the failpage specified in the check_shipping2 order profile.

I am I doing something silly here?

Thanks,

Tom H

Doh. maybe I should have checked the archives before I posted my last question.

[set check_this]
 	&fail=checkout-step1
 	fname=required
 	lname=required
 	address1=required
 	&fatal=yes
[/set]

works for me in this situation. I was getting similar inconsistent results from what is specified in the documentation.

Subject: [ic] Just upgraded 4.8.9->5.2 - RobotUA question
Message-ID: <41BC867A.5080308@M-and-D.com>

I just upgraded by foundation based catalog from 4.8.9 to 5.2.0. I 
followed the UPGRADE file instructions and things went pretty smoothly. 
My main reason for the upgrade was to take advantage of the RobotUA feature.

After the upgrade, I added the section below to the end of my 
interchange.cfg, however I still entries like this in my apache access_log:

"GET /unlisted.html?id=gAW3nswb HTTP/1.0" 200 17202 "-" "ia_archiver"
"GET /helpfaq.html?id=SRvEvzVq HTTP/1.0" 200 32017 "-" "msnbot/0.3 
(+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)"

Now I thought the RobotUA prevented spiders from obtaining session ids? 
Am I confused, or can someone tell me why these spiders appears to be 
still obtaining session ids?

Here's what I added to my interchange.cfg, and yes I did restart :) 
Thanks for any input. - DB

Hi,

I don't seem to be able to set a value that interchange 5.2 will use for a failure page at all in profiles.order.

Does anyone have an example of a profiles.order file that sets this value correctly?

Subject: [ic] ic database problem
Message-ID: <41BD06E2.9050403@lunetta.de>

Hi List:

I want to only use my MySQL database for data storage, no text files 
or anything. I use the following configuration directives:

ProductFiles	products

Variable SQLDSN dbi:mysql:demostore

Require module DBI
Require module DBD::mysql

Message -i -n Using MySQL, DSN=__SQLDSN__...

DatabaseDefault USER root
DatabaseDefault PASS mypass

Database	products	products.txt	__SQLDSN__


I also have a products.sql file in my products directory. The problem 
is that no data is showing. When I copy a products.txt file to the 
products directory data shows up. But as I said I do not want to use 
any additional text files. What is the problem here?

Thanks in advance,
Gregor

Woohoo! My great spelling shines through!
There is another reason for this as well as cost of certificates. Unless 
you start hosting different virtualhosts on different 
ports/interfaces/computers you can only have one secure certificate, as 
apache has no clue what virtualhost to use if they are all on ssl port 
443 (i think it defaults to the first one).

After the data is in there, set:

NoImport products

resp. 

NoImportExternal yes

in catalog.cfg.

Thanks for your advice. But it still does not work - no articles are 
shown. I don't know what I am doing wrong. The table in the database 
does exist and have all needed columns (sku, description, price).

I can connect to the database with the given user and passwort and 
interchange seems also to be able to connect as there are no entires in 
error.log.

Is there something else I can check?

Thanks in advance,
Wojtek

I realized the every time I restart my ic server with that configuration 
a products.autonumber file is created in the products directory. Does 
this have something to do with my problem that the SQL database is not 
accessed?

Thanks in advance,

I did not set up the administration (I am building my own site - not

Subject: [ic] Variables in locale.txt
Message-ID: <GPEPLHLEJFCCEPKPCFECCEPFDLAA.tode@bpanet.de>

Hi list.

I want to use variables in the locale.txt that are configured in the
catalog.cfg or variable.txt.

For example here a locale.txt, variable.txt and the ouput that should be
generated.

locale.txt:
code	en_US de_DE
Your Team	Your __COMPANY__ Team	Euer Team von __COMPANY__

variable.txt:
COMPANY	Foo INC.

example.html:
[LOC]Your Team[/LOC]

Output for [setlocale en_US]:
Your Foo INC. Team

Output for [setlocale de_DE]:
Euer Team von Foo INC.

The pseudo code above did not work, had tried it one time :(

Has anyone a hint?

Regards,

Lars

Was any solution found for this?

I would like to remove the .html on _all_ of my pages, and remove the 
'index' from the homepage URL. This would produce even cleaner URLs.

Thanks.

Subject: [ic] ic database only
Message-ID: <41BDD46A.70503@lunetta.de>

Hi List,

here's what I am trying to achieve: I want to use interchange with my 
MySQL database only. So I have no need for any .txt files and don't want 
to use them as first import or anything else.

I tried it serveral times with different configurations but somehow 
interchange is never using my database. It always looks for the .txt 
files in the products directory.

Can anyone provide me a very simple catalog.cfg file with a database 
enabled products table that is known to be working?

Thanks in advance,
Wojtek

How are you trying to display the data? If you're using an 
Interchange-native search, it may be searching the (non-existent) text 
file instead of the database. Try adding st=db to the search parameters.

Are you sure that they're still obtaining session IDs? All those log 
entries tell you is that they're successfully spidering URLs that have 
session IDs already in them. Mostly likely their index of your site 
already includes hundreds of URLs with embedded session IDs, and they'll 
keep spidering those, getting results, and thinking everything's fine.

The change you made says that they won't be issued a session ID, which is 
probably working. But it can't purge their old indexes. Perhaps some 
spiders eventually stop polling old addresses that aren't linked any 
longer, but I don't have any evidence of that.

If you want to be sure, do something like:

GET -H 'User-agent: ia_archiver' http://yoururl

And look for session IDs in the URLs you get back on that page.

As a workaround you can try the following in your locale definition:

Locale de_DE LC_CTYPE de_DE
Locale de_DE LC_COLLATE de_DE

Interchange uses the .autonumber files to create keys for new database entries
(see the administration for an example). If you use AUTO_INCREMENT keys,
add a AUTO_SEQUENCE 1 entry to the corresponding dbconf/mysql/*.mysql file
and the .autonumber file will vanish.

Subject: [ic] Interchange-doc-5.2.0 not included in the site search
Message-ID: <41BE0F6F.6080802@broadgap.com>

Much to my chagrin I noticed a link to 5.2 documentation in one of 
Greg's posts. I had not realized that the Reference Guides had been 
updated. It has been so long since I referred to the guides because I 
typically just use the search feature.

Upon further digging I noticed that the search box on the left of the 
page (not the swish or google search) is not parsing the content of the 
new 5.2 documentation.

For example, if you search on RobotUA you won't find it on the site, 
however it is available at the following URL:

http://www.icdevgroup.org/interchange-doc-5.2.0/frames/icconfig_47.html

Is there any chance we can these new reference guides included in the 
site search?

TIA,
Gary

I've just finished 30mins ago the installation of a fresh Perl into my
freshly installed Debian box (sarge). Just get the latest stable Perl,
unpack, and run ./Configure -des, then make && make test and last make
install.

Remember to check that you have the gdbm-package installed (I think it's the
libgdbm-dev package)

You can; the question is more one of "should I do this?"

Each store, assuming a pretty straightforward setup, would logically be 
its own Interchange catalog.

Catalogs are generally independent of one another.  However, if you get 
into customizations involving globalsubs and global usertags, you'll end 
up writing tools for one catalog that end up being valid in all 
catalogs.  That's not necessarily a problem, but it's something to consider.

The most obvious problem with this approach is the fact that any time 
you make a change in one catalog that requires an Interchange restart -- 
and there are plenty of such changes that could cause this -- you need 
to restart the whole server instance and thus affect all catalogs.  If 
the Interchange restart is clean, this will just appear as a momentary 
hiccup to the end user.  If the changes are more drastic and don't go 
well, your one catalog's change could bring down all catalogs on the box.

Hmm could be - how would I use that GET statement - in a perl script? 
I'm not familiar with the syntax.

Drew McLellan has a nice article about testing this sort of thing with the
standard curl library you probably have installed on your linux box.

http://allinthehead.com/retro/224/curl-for-http-debugging


For instance, try this from a command line:

   # curl --user-agent 'GoogleBot' http://yoursiteurl

GET is an actual program installed with Perl's LWP on most systems. Just 
type that command in the shell.

Some customers call saying that they are unable to complete the order

I am having difficulty if finding a pattern to the problem as I imagine
some customers do not call when the order system fails.

I noticed the following in the session file, does anybody believe that

'mv_status_end_profile' => 'end_profile set failed.'

A few days ago, I figured out, there is a relation between the shell and the
Search.pm.
After I changed in the second system from bash to sh, the search works fine.
But still have the problem on the first system. Are there any relevant
changes between IC 4.6 to 5.2 that correspond with the search or locale
engine?

Thanks for the hint. I tried it, but it still not work? Did I missed
something?
Is there something in the config that had to be set?

Current settings
-----------------
locale.txt:
Your %s Team	Your %s Team	Euer Team von %s

variable.txt:

example.html:
[setlocale de_DE]
[L]Your Team[/L]<br/>

output:

Sorry. I made a mistake. The entry in locale.txt should be:

I just came back from Vienna, where part of my work was enhancing
a training database for RPO (Regional Program Office), which
provides training for Department of State employees. The
system derives more or less from a foundation catalog.
If you need more information, just ask.

Ethan,

Thanks a lot for the details you provide.  So, for many stores to share a
single sever instance is not a viable solution for commercial use.  

The question now should be:
- What is the memory consumption for a server instance?
- CPU usage percentage?

I am trying to figure out what average hosting cost for each storefront will
be if we use IC.

Thanks

Jim

You can; the question is more one of "should I do this?"

Each store, assuming a pretty straightforward setup, would logically be 
its own Interchange catalog.

Catalogs are generally independent of one another.  However, if you get 
into customizations involving globalsubs and global usertags, you'll end 
up writing tools for one catalog that end up being valid in all 
catalogs.  That's not necessarily a problem, but it's something to consider.

The most obvious problem with this approach is the fact that any time 
you make a change in one catalog that requires an Interchange restart -- 
and there are plenty of such changes that could cause this -- you need 
to restart the whole server instance and thus affect all catalogs.  If 
the Interchange restart is clean, this will just appear as a momentary 
hiccup to the end user.  If the changes are more drastic and don't go 
well, your one catalog's change could bring down all catalogs on the box.

Thank you for the reply Aaron.  I fixed your 'top post'!

No apparent hang and nothing in the error log that I can see.

The user is told more information required or card expiry.

Ethan Rowe thought it might be a profile problem but I am unable to
fully work out how they all work yet.  I am a bit of a novice with the
workings of IC.

Thank you, I will keep looking!

Message-ID: <000301c4e289$841397d0$0501a8c0@invincible.local>

Dear All,

For those of you that have noticed that consignment tracking disappeared 
from check_orders.html with the 'standard' demo, you might want to consider 
the following simple modifcation around line 326:

        <td>
          [display table=transactions type=display col=status 
key="[sql-code]"]
          <br>[&nbsp;<a href="/go/parceltrack.cgi?[sql-param 
tracking_number]">Track</a>&nbsp;]
        </td>

I'm yet to put any kind of check to see if there is a tracking_number 
present in the transactions table as that's something to do a little later.

The problem is with the parcel tracking script I've written.  The tracking 
number entered is in the form of AA-11111111 where 'AA' is a code to 
represent a service offered by a particular courier company.  "BP" is 
Business Post Next Day and "SD" is Royal Mail Special Delivery, for example.

What is happening is that when it tries to work out who the parcel has been 
sent with, it doesn't always pick the correct one:

if ( $CARRIERCODE eq "BP" )
{
        $CARRIERNAME = "Business Post";
        $CARRIERSERV = "Next Day";
        $CARRIERURL = "http://www.businesspost.com/";
        $TRACKURL = 
"http://www.business-post.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/ws_quickpod.html?lc_SearchValue=$CONSIGNMENT";
        goto pagebody;
}

if ( $CARRIERCODE eq "SD" )
{
        $CARRIERNAME = "Royal Mail";
        $CARRIERSERV = "Special Delivery";
        $CARRIERURL = "www.royalmail.com";
        goto pagebody;
}

if ( $CARRIERCODE eq "CL" )
{
        $CARRIERNAME = "Initial CityLink";
        $CARRIERSERV = "Next Day";
        $CARRIERURL = "www.city-link.co.uk";
        $TRACKURL = 
"http://www.city-link.co.uk/pod/podfrm.php?JobNo=$CONSIGNMENT";
        goto pagebody;
}

I've tried matching using "eq" and "==" but it seems to just decide to pick 
one at random.  Any suggestions how I can get it to match $CARRIERCODE 
(created by taking the first two characters of the string passed) against 
the above criteria correctly every time?

Regards, Ade.

eq should be correct for matching strings. I don't have an idea why this
doesn't work. However, using "goto" within a condition causes me a shudder. 
Perl is not a basic dialect at all :-/.

Just a guess here, but what about using if, elsif, etc?

And you could probably do the check right on your tracking number and  
eliminate $CARRIERCODE if you used regular expressions. But first you  
need it to work, then you can make it pretty...

Message-ID: <41C0391D.2010800@endpoint.com>

Hi.

Does anybody know where the "area" sub called from the old 
"category_vertical" component (I believe this was in Foundation in 
pre-4.8 days) is defined?  The sub is called via a loop (with prefix "box"):
[box-exec]area[/box-exec]

There are other subs called in there too, a sub called "cat".

I'm having trouble finding the definition.  It doesn't appear to be in 
the catalog_before.cfg or catalog_after.cfg, or in any include files.

Thanks.

Wojtek,

I have never used the category based navigation menus myself, but I'm pretty
sure that they use the 'cat' table as well as the 'products' table.

I hope that helps.

Hi All,

Please pardon me if my questions are too beginner for most here. I am still
fubbing my way around Interchange and it's a very steep learning curve from
Javascript.

Is there a list somewhere of the tags that Interchange has as presets?

I want to add a required field for "policies" to my check out page. This
would be simple with Javascript because all I would need to do would be to
update the form and update the script.

The problem is that our copy of Interchange resides on a server that we do
not have direct access to and need to pay our host $60 a hour to do any work
on. As such asking them to go in and adjust the script for such a little
item is ridiculous.

I was able to bipass this before by using "gift_item" as the preset tag for
a comments box and I am hoping that something exists already for "policies"
as well.

Please let me know if this question does not make sense.

Thank you.

Melisa

The sub you want is called 'exec', and it is in VENDROOT/catalog_before.cfg.

Melisa,

You need to specify your required fields in an 'order profile' in either:
- 'profiles.order' in your catalog's 'etc' directory
or
- 'catalog.cfg' in your catalog's root directory
and then reconfigure your catalog so the changes are applied.

If you don't have FTP access you may be able to use the Admin UI.

Thanks, Ed.  My code read of Interpolate.pm was a bit off -- I was 
thinking that the name of the sub to call was the text contained with 
the [box-exec]...[/box-exec] tags.

Incidentally, the sub that's defined in VENDROOT/catalog_before.cfg is 
just defined with:
Sub <<EOF
sub bar_link {
...
}
EOF

I don't believe that the "bar_link" sub name actually matters in this 
context, and I don't see anything here that suggests to my eye that this 
subroutine is registered with Interchange under the name "exec".  What 
am I missing?

Thanks again.

No ideas anyone? The best I solution I can think of is to have a "inactive"
select box for each image. This isn't perfect as it does not remove the
unused images from the filesystem.

I'm sure there's a way; it would just take work. :)

You may have just as much luck writing a plain Perl script that would read 
in the filenames from your image directory and delete anything that 
doesn't have an entry in your database. You could run it nightly or weekly 
from cron, for example. That would have the advantage of removing unwanted 
files that got there through FTP or other means, not just through 
Interchange.

Interchange and cpanel can be problematic, and you will be hard pressed
to find support for that combination on this list.  However, if you do
stick with interchange, you can process payments via GPG/PGP, or via
many realtime CC processors, such as authorize.net.

You don't need a special account on the server to process CC payments
with either method, however, if you choose realtime processing you would
need to get an account with the one of your choosing.

There is no other "extra" field in place that I can think of, that you could reuse, however, if you have SSH access to your catalog, 
you can easily add what you need.  To both the checkout page, and the necessary report/html_receipt/mail_receipt files.  If you would 
require that this info be stored in a DB also, you would need to add an extra field there also.

I believe that your looking for the $IC_ROOT/lib/UI/pages/admin pages.

I addressed this problem for a project (http://www.musikrestposten.de/),
but without using the UI widget. I look into integrating that into the
UI widget if there is some spare time.

Subject: [ic] RobotLimit
Message-ID: <s1c1b136.023@att2.attema.loc>

Hi all,

After activation of the Webbuddy free website monitoring tool
(http://www.webbuddy.nl/ sorry,Dutch only)) to check the availablilty
of our Interchange hosted website (http://www.attema.nl), we got a
message from Webbuddy that our website (www.attema.nl) was down.
Surprised, because our website is always available, we immediately
checked our website and asked our hosting provider to do the same but
everything was ok.
After some research we found out that Webbuddy accessed www.attema.nl
every 30 minutes (only one line in httpd.log) but that Interchange 5.3.0
blocked the ipaddress of Webbuddy.
This was caused by accessing www.attema.nl 50 hours, 2 times per hour =
100 times, which is the RobotLimit value.
So Webbuddy reported the site as unreachable, but our website was only
unreachable for Webbuddy not for the rest of the world.

This same problem did we have some time ago:
Our company is behind a proxy server so for the outside world, all
workstations have the same ipaddress and the Interchange server is
located elsewhere (hosting provider).
After a lot of changes on the site, a lot of colleages checking things,
we reached this limit too. (only humans, no robots...)
Which caused that no one in our company could go to our own website.

RobotLimit = 100 will say that:

(1) number of accesses within 30 sec must be lower than 100 within the
same interchange session, otherwise ip will be blocked.
(2) max. number of Interchange sessions without a 24 hour pause,
otherwise ip will be blocked

So this RobotLimit has a double function, we want to keep function (1)
to protect ourselves against heavy crawlers but we also want to be able
to use Webbuddy, which can check our website up to every minute (paid),
which generates only 1 access per minute, which is much less than a
normal visitor, and of course we ourselves don't want to be excluded if
we do a lot of changes and checks on our website.

The only way i can see to accomplish that, is to split the
functionality of RobotLimit:

RobotLimit default 100:  for number of accesses within 30 sec must be
lower than 100 within the same interchange session, otherwise ip will be
blocked. (1)
SessionLimit default 60: for the max. number of sessions per hour per
ipaddress, otherwise ip will be blocked

Rule (2) max. number of Interchange sessions without a 24 hour pause,
otherwise ip will be blocked could be omitted ?

Jan.

Yes, there is a limit of the maximum number of new sessions per
day. In 5.3, you can set the period with 

	Limit  robot_expire  0.01

That will expire it in about 15 minutes.

Probably better is to have the robot access a URL with 

	http://whatever.org/cgi-bin/store?mv_tmp_session=1

that will ensure that it doesn't get counted.

I had found these pages, but I have 3 catalogs and didn't want the changes
to be applied to all of them. Is it not possible to change the order display
setting through the UI itself, so that they are only applied to one
particular catalog?

Should I start by changing the setup of the 'orderline' table so that it
saves the 'title' rather than 'description' from the products table? I'm
just concerned that I'm trying to complicate something which, in theory,
sounds very simple??

Thanks

Steve

If you want to customize the admin pages, but not afefct your other
catalogs, simply copy the appropriate admin dir path and page from the
IC_ROOT/lib/UI/admin dir to your CATROOT/pages/admin dir, and customize
it there.  IC scans the CATROOT/page/admin section first for the
requested page before defaulting to the ICROOT admin pages.

Copy the page you want to modify from $IC_ROOT/lib/UI/pages/admin into 
your catalog's $CATROOT/pages/admin directory and customize it there. 
Interchange checks there first to see if a page exists, and if not, falls 
back to the site-wide admin pages.

One of our servers is running approximately 15 catalogs under one
instance of interchange.  It runs fine...the only thing i don't like is
that reconfig requests are too quiet (errors aren't displayed; you have
to check the error logs to see what died).  Well, that and installing a
global sub/tag/etc requires a full restart (which takes about 15
seconds...not long enough to freak out vlink, but long enough to
possibly cause a noticeable delay to visitors).  

One could run interchange with the --test option before attempting a
restart, if one were paranoid about a global change they'd made.  But
for the most part, the only thing that could go wrong from changing a
catalog, is that that catalog would die.  It's not easy to accidentally
have one catalog break another.

CPU- and RAM-wise, the server in question is a dual P3/733 with 512MB
RAM.  Idle time is consistently 80% or higher (load average atm: 0.04,
0.10, 0.08) and memory usage is about 560MB (71MB of it swap), with
apache, tomcat, mysql, and interchange running.  Keep in mind, though,
that a number of the catalogs don't get much traffic at all.  I wouldn't
hesitate to run 5 busy stores on it, but i'd have to look at performance
at that point before recommending more.

I run Interchange with cPanel, and it works pretty well!

I can't remotely restart the server, but that's ok, my SP can do it in
minutes.  I would recommend this software to anyone.  Either this or
osCommerce, depending on your needs.

There is an inconsistency in your variable database, pref_group column.

Yes, thanks guys, that makes more sense now. I actually found that what I
needed to do first though was to edit the /etc/log_transaction so that my
desired product info was included in the orderline table.
After that I could edit the admin pages to make sure it was displayed
correctly in the UI.

Many thanks

We changed the robot url to
www.attema.nl/cgi-bin/attema?mv_tmp_session=1, let it 
run for a couple of hours and checked addr_ctr for this robot's
ipaddress and it works fine !

Subject: [ic] May be a Bug in 5.2?
Message-ID: <GPEPLHLEJFCCEPKPCFECAEEDDMAA.tode@bpanet.de>

Hallo list.

One or two weeks ago I posted a message, about problems with interchange and
the KOI8-R charset.

--snip--
I'd a problem with case insensitiv search using locale ru_RU.KOI8-R.
Guess it had to be a combination with IC, Perl and the locale enviroment of
the interchange user.

Product table is the products.txt (charset CP1251). Yesterday we converted
it to KOI8-R, but thats change nothing.

To test interchange, the server and the configuration, I installed a
Interchange 4.8.6 on a second machine.
Here the specification of the 2 systems :

1. (Real online shop)
FreeBSD 4.7
Interchange 5.2.0
Perl 5.8.5 (without GDBM)

2. (Testserver)
FreeBSD
Interchange 4.8.6
Perl 5.8.0
--snap--

Finally I found the reason for the problem. We'd used the bash as shell for
the interchange user. After moved from bash to sh the problem was fixed.
I was happy until I moved Interchange from  version 4.8.6 to 5.2.0. With
Interchange 5.2.0 the error occured again.
After downgraded from 5.2.0 (downloaded today) to 4.8.9 the problem was
fixed again.

For all test the testserver was used.

May be thiis not a bug, just some internal things changed from 4.8.x to 5.x.

Any idea if there is a different locale handling between interchange 4.8.x
and 5.x?

Thanks in Advanced,

Lars

AFAICT it is a bug in Interchange, I'm on the way to deal with it.

Subject: [ic] mv_action - refreshes to stylesheet?
Message-ID: <022c01c4e4c2$1fd18670$8500a8c0@IBMAC894FB2E08>

I am pulling in a stylesheet using 5.2 and the following:

[if type="explicit" compare="[is_secure]"]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="__SECURE_SERVER____CGI_URL/css/stylesheet.html" 
type="text/css">
[else]
<link rel="stylesheet" 
href="http://SERVER_NAME__CGI_URL__/css/stylesheet.html" type="text/css">
[/else]
[/if]

which is working correctly as anticipated.

However I am now faced with a problem with the BUY NOW buttons on my results 
pages.

Instead of refreshing the results page Interchange refreshes exclusively to 
and loads stylesheet.html into the browser.

Relevant info:

<FORM ACTION="[area nothing]" METHOD=POST>
<input type=hidden name=mv_session_id value="[data session id]">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_action" VALUE="refresh">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_separate_items"  VALUE="0">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_click" VALUE="munge_quantity">

    <input type=hidden name="mv_oi[item-increment]" value="">    [if session 
browser =~ /mac/]
   <input type=submit value="[L]Buy now[/L]" 
onClick="this.form.mv_oi[item-increment].value='[item-code]'" border=0>
  [else]
   <input type=image src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__buynow.gif" 
onClick="this.form.mv_oi[item-increment].value='[item-code]'" border=0>
  [/else]
  [/if]

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Found this in the archives. Simply had to modify history-scan on the page 
and add directories of URLs to ignore.

Just found this suggestion posted by Kevin Walsh on 21 Dec 2001 which seems 
to work even more efficiently in results pages.

Subject: [ic] Possible bug: Too many new ID assignments for this IP address
Message-ID: <00ec01c4e618$feb5d6f0$0b01a8c0@shop>

In October I posted
http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2004-October/041215.html
explaining what I thought was a bug which can result in *permanently*
blocked access to Interchange sites from ISPs who use proxy servers.

To avoid this problem we are currently running with "RobotLimit 0".

A full explanation of the problem and what I believe is the cause can be
found at
http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2004-October/041215.html

Here is a snippet:

############
The reason for this is that the check to see whether the addr_ctr file
should be expired is only made if RobotLimit has been exceeded.  And then,
the addr_ctr file is only deleted if the modify date is older than a day
(the default for MV_ROBOT_EXPIRE).

So, here is the problem:  any IP address that is typically allocated more
than 1 session id in a 24 hr period will never get its addr_ctr file
expired.  i.e.  There needs to be a full 24 hr period without access from
the same IP address before the addr_ctr file will be deleted thus
re-allowing access from that IP address.  For large ISPs using a relatively
small number of proxy servers this may never happen, and so access from
their proxy servers is permanently blocked.
#############

I know very little Perl so I am not right person to fix the code, but I will
be happy to contribute to any discussion on possible solutions.

Thanks

Hello all,

I have two problems that could use some help with...

PROBLEM I:
I need to add the ability to get the cvv2 info added to the order when
a customer checks out.  Has anyone done this?  Is there some existing
code or module that someone might have available.  -bear in mind that
I am no database wizard.

PROBLEM II:
I am having problems with affiliate reporting.  When try to "orders"
report I get the folling error.

Begin Error Message
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
table transactions: SQL query failed: syntax error: unknown op '!=' at
/usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/SQL_Parser.pm line 444. query was:   select
affiliate, campaign, total_cost, order_date from transactions   WHERE
deleted != '1' AND affiliate = 'consolidated' order by affiliate,
campaign, order_date
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End Error Message

My basic config is as follows:
Interchange version: 5.2.0
Server mode: UNIX
Environment variables passed: MOD_PERL

Anyone have any sugesstions?

Well this appears to be a typo " deleted != '1'" my guess is that you
need to remove the ! before = '1' in SQL_Parser.pm try line 444 which it
complains about

CVV2 is solved try doing a search on the site www.icdevgroup.org for CCV
or CCV2 should find some good stuff.

It is a one-to-many relationship, one area to many categories.

area-1
  cat-a
  cat-b
  cat-c
  etc....
area-2
  cat-d
  cat-e
  cat-f
  etc... 

By splitting the area and categories apart, you create a structure that
is easily grouped, searched and displayed.  

If a store is small, one area and many categories might be sufficient.
However, for large stores, area and categories (and sections,
departments or locations) are useful to organize the store into
meaningful and navigable pages.

For example, suppose a store sells bikes and clothes.  Mountain bikes,
Street bikes and Unicycles and an assortment of very kewl and trendy
clothes to go along with those bikes.  If they did not split the store
up into area and categories, all the items would display at once.  Very
tacky, not to mention hard to navigate.  So, by splitting the store into
area and categories, we make life easier for our customers, and us. 

Area-1 = Bikes
  cat-1 = Mountain
  cat-2 = Street
  cat-3 = Unicycles
Area-2 = Clothes
  cat-4 = Shirts
  cat-5 = Shorts
  cat-6 = Hats

Now, if the customer is interested in any of those items, they can
narrow their search, find the item they want, and checkout. (we hope). 

Without the area and cat tables, you could still come up with ways to
sort your searches and organize your store, but if you are going to
write searches that sort the results for customers, why not just do it
in advance by organizing your store into logical units that will help
your customers find what they want. 

The area and cat tables that are included in the Foundation demo are
sufficient for most needs however, there is no reason why one cannot
extend that structure to any level needed.

area-1
  cat-1
    section-1
      department-1
  cat-2
    section-2
    section-3
      department-2
        location-1
  cat-3
  etc....

Of course, if you were to design a store like that, most of the
administration tools in the foundation demo would stop working.  :)  But
it's definitely doable. 

One more example of the just how flexible Interchange is.

uhh... Small problem with that.  "!=" in many computer languages means
"not equal".  In other words, the opposite of "=".  
I haven't used it in a while, but i think in ANSI SQL they spell it
"<>".

You can find many discussions if you search the archives for Paypal.

Also, take a look here under Payment Gateway:

There are a couple of things:

If memory serves, the order of operations as far as evaluating profiles, 
mv_click actions, etc. goes:
1. profile check on mv_form_profile
2. mv_click action process (only occurs if the profile check was successful)
3. profile check on mv_order_profile (I think this only comes into play 
when mv_todo=submit)

Interchange will check the form profile before processing the button 
action no matter what you do.  Therefore, for this kind of case, I think 
you probably need to put an [if]...[/if] within your profile to test for 
the value of mv_click.  The [button] tag outputs an HTML submit element 
with the name 'mv_click' (you don't need to specify the name), and its 
value is of course that of the text displayed in the element (in this 
case, 'cancel').

Therefore, in your form profile definition, you could wrap the existing 
profile in:
[if cgi mv_click ne cancel] (which means, if the CGI value of mv_click 
does not equal 'cancel')
...<your existing profile stuff>...
[/if]

There might be a better solution, but this could do the trick.  If you 
already have a bunch of [if] tags in the profile definition, you may 
need to tinker with this for a while to get it to handle the nested ifs 
properly.

Secondly:
Don't use bounce in an mv_click action (i.e. in the body of a [button]) 
when you're directing the flow to a different page within your catalog.  
Interchange looks at the value of "mv_nextpage" in CGI space to 
determine what page to load.  Therefore, from within a profile check or 
an mv_click/button action, you can always change the page that 
Interchange will load by adjusting mv_nextpage appropriately.  
Furthermore, mv_click/button actions are parsed for ITL, and then the 
result is parsed again, with Interchange expecting a list of CGI 
variable assignments, one per line.  Therefore, in your case, you can 
simply replace:
[bounce page=login]
with:
mv_nextpage=login

This is much more efficient; using [bounce] just puts the bounce stuff 
into the page, but the whole page has to load, then the user's browser 
needs to execute the bounce, resulting in another request; changed 
mv_nextpage directs Interchange to the page you want right from the 
beginning.

This is precisely why mv_click actions are so powerful, and so cool.  In 
fact, this whole area of Interchange, involving actionmaps, autoloads, 
profile checks, and mv_click/mv_check actions, which allow you to do 
very powerful things before Interchange actually starts loading a page, 
is Miles-Davis-cool.

Hope this helps.

I don't know why you say that. mv_click happens after mv_form_profile.

> and the submit should submit after checking profile
> (test_bounce)

You can cause that type of behavior with mv_order_profile, but
of course the "submit" happens -- you just get a point where you
can cause some actions.

I think you want something like:

[set test_bounce]
   [if cgi cancel_me]
	[bounce page=login]
   [else]
	&update=yes
	weight=required
	zip=required
   [/else]
   [/if]
[/set]

<form action="[process href=@@MV_PAGE@@]" method="post" name="bounce_test">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_session_id" VALUE="[data session id]">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_form_profile" VALUE="test_bounce">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_action" VALUE="return">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_nextpage" VALUE="@@MV_PAGE@@">
 [error name=weight std_label="weight" required=1]
 <input type="text" name="weight" class="blau_mittel" value="[value weight]" maxlength="64">

 [error name=zip std_label="zip*" required=1]
 <input type="text" class="blau_mittel" name="zip" value="[value zip]" maxlength=64>


<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="cancel_me" VALUE="cancel">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" class="menu" value="senden">
</form>

Some orders will not generated correct.
I receive an order without user-information and without items.
In my error-log-file I found the following entry:

But I have no idea, what I should do with this message.

How can I find the problem?

Hi,

I would like to schedule a create catalog tar backup job from cron or possibly interchange via a job.

Is there a command to do this, I looked in the interchange/bin directory, but could not see what to use.

Also I could not find any documentation on interchange jobs, is this something that should be left to cron?

Cheers,

Here's a script I use to mirror catalog from one server to another.  It 
could be modified to just create a backup.

=====================================================
#!/bin/bash

# $Id: download_catalog,v 1.1 2004/11/03 22:43:25 cvs Exp $
#
# Downloads an Interchange catalog from the online version
#
DBNAME=$1
USERNAME=$2
STORENAME=$3

if [[ "X$DBNAME" != "X" && "X$USERNAME" != "X" && "X$STORENAME" != "X" 
]];then

   ssh yourhostname "mysqldump -u root -ppassword --add-drop-table 
$DBNAME" | mysql -u root -ppassword $DBNAME

   ssh yourhostname "tar -C /home/$USERNAME --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/session \
                                        --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/error.log \
                                        --exclude catalogs/$STORNAME/tmp  \
                                        --exclude catalogs/$STORNAME/logs  \
                                        --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/backup \
                                        --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/orders -czf - catalogs/$STORNAME 
www/htdocs/$STORNAME" | tar -C /home/$USERNAME -xzf -

else

  echo "Usage: download_catalog dbname username storename"

fi

====================================================
This part of that script alone may do what you want:

tar -C /home/$USERNAME --exclude catalogs/$STORNAME/session \
                                        --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/error.log \
                                        --exclude catalogs/$STORNAME/tmp  \
                                        --exclude catalogs/$STORNAME/logs  \
                                        --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/backup \
                                        --exclude 
catalogs/$STORNAME/orders -czf catalog.tar.gz \
                                     catalogs/$STORNAME www/htdocs/$STORNAME

The script assumes the store is in /home in the structure /home/username/catalogs/storename and the web files are in /home/username/www/htdocs/storename

Subject: [ic] Some shipping methods don't appear
Message-ID: <41C9BA76.30409@framework.ws>

Greetings,

I am having trouble getting all shipping methods for the US to show up 
in a catalog.  I have the following in my country table (sorry about the 
wrapping):

mysql> select * from country where code like "US";
+------+--------+--------+----------+----------------------------+---------------+-----+--------+------+
| code | sorder | region | selector | shipmodes                  | name 
          | iso | isonum | tax  |
+------+--------+--------+----------+----------------------------+---------------+-----+--------+------+
| US   | 0      |        | US       | PRIORITY FEG GNDRES GNDCOM | 
United States | USA | 840    |      |
+------+--------+--------+----------+----------------------------+---------------+-----+--------+------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

shipping.asc contains the default entries from a 5.2 foundation catalog 
for the above methods.

However, when I go to check out, regardless of what I add to my cart, I 
only get UPS shipping methods, no choice of Priority Mail or FedEx 
Ground. I've verified that the items I am adding to my cart are within 
the weight limits set.

Am I missing a step in getting these to show up?

Thank you,

Subject: [ic] option widget text, not showing up in receipt nor emails

I found several old threads on this issue, but no resolutions.  I, too, 
get the text widget stored in admin/orders, but they do not appear on 
the receipt page, nor the outbound emails.  I am using either 1 or 2 
select widgets, along with 1 text widget.

Receipt/emails all print the select widget options just fine, and even 
get the label for the text widget option.  Just no value.

Linux / Interchange 5.2.0

Here's the applicable receipt.html section:

        <td>
        [item-data products description]
        [if-modifier size]<BR>[L]SIZE[/L]-->[item-modifier 
size][/if-modifier][if-modifier color] [L]COLOR[/L]-->[item-modifier 
color][/if-modifier]
        [table-organize cols=4 table=' ' font="size=1" pretty=1]
                [item-options td=1 label=1 bold=1 price=1 type=display]
        [/table-organize]

        [if-item-field download]
                <br>[calc]get_download('[item-code]')[/calc]
        [/if-item-field]
        [if-item-modifier mv_ad]
        <BR>
        <tt><b>[L]SHIP TO:[/L]</B></tt>
        <PRE>[item-modifier mv_ad]</pre>
        [/if-item-modifier]
        </td>


Here is one of the old threads I discovered:

TIA for your help.

Subject: [ic] redundancy / failover / load balanced ic solutions
Message-ID: <0aae01c4e8cd$606618e0$6401a8c0@takedownlt>

Hello,

Could the people that are out there that handle high availability IC
sites answer these questions.  If only some of the questions apply to
you, please answer the ones that do.

What sort of solutions are IC hosts using for high traffic IC sites?
How do you handle load balancing the incoming requests?
How do you handle redundant IC and DB servers?
How do you handle automatic failover when an IC or DB server goes down?
How many servers do you use in your configuration?
What is each servers role?
Do the servers communicate via a 10/100/1000 network?
Are you using network attached storage for the catalog and html data?
If so, is the storage connected via 10/100/1000 or Fiber?
How do you keep the data redundantly available?
What db server are you using?
Is their a slave for failover? 
Or do you use multiple Masters that sync?
Are you using mod_interchange?
If so, do you use it's built in backup IC list?
What web server are you using?
What tools do you use for detecting failures and taking servers or
drives offline?
How are you handling load balancing across the multiple web / ic / db
servers?

Thanks for your help!

Rick,

Here's how I got PayPal to work:


This PayPal modification adds PayPal to the payment options of the 
checkout page.  On checkout the customer fills out the Interchange 
checkout form and selects PayPal.  After they click Place Order, the 
confirmation receipt page has a note to them that to complete the 
purchase, they must follow the link to PayPal.

The link feeds the customer information, the order total and order 
number to PayPal.  Once the customer completes the PayPal payment, 
you'll recieve a confirmation from PayPal and you can ship the items.

The files to change to enable PayPal are checkout.html, proviles.order, 
receipt.html and variable.txt.

My versions of the pages are listed below. 

The checkout.html page below has some additional mods including a mod 
that removes the login option at the top of the page.  It also includes 
a mod to only allow ordering a item that has options only if that item 
is on hand.  So this page may not work in your instance.  I'll let you 
know the lines that were changed for the PayPal part so you can change 
your own checkout.html if you prefer.

Message-ID: <1204.204.210.136.71.1103935321.squirrel@whatsthebigidea.com>

I've noticed a lot of questions regarding the htmlarea widget installation
to use in the admin UI. This procedure seemed to work for me (a wannabe IC
programmer):

1. Install htmlarea.widget within Widget directory (on my FreeBSD,
/usr/local/interchange/code/Widget/ )

2. $ fetch
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/itools-htmlarea/HTMLArea-3.0-rc1.zip
into the www/ (DOCROOT/htmlarea), unzip and then rename: $ mv
HTMLArea-3.0-rc1 htmlarea

3. Add the line, "htmlarea=Rich text (HTMLArea)" to the mv_metadata table
within the following:

ui_component::mv_metadata::type (above "date=Date selector")
products::comment (Select Rich text (HTMLArea) in Widget type drop-down menu)
mv_metadata::type (above "date=Date selector")
options::o_widget (above "date=Date selector")
page_metaconfig::mv_metadata::extended.page_content (Select Rich text
(HTMLArea) in Widget type drop-down menu)

4. Lastly, restart IC as interch: /usr/local/interchange/bin/interchange
--restart

Have a happy holiday :)

Subject: [ic] Issue with using IE for adding pseudo-product to the cart
In-Reply-To: <41CADB4C.5090600@dhwd.com>
Message-ID: <BAY15-F336C84569C12567EF783CF8B980@phx.gbl>

Hi,

IC 5.2.0 - Foundation based catalog

I'm trying to add a psuedo-product to my cart as a sample request. I've 
created a dummy product with SKU 8989898, and the description is generated 
dynamically on flypage, based on sku. Here is the code that I use (on 
flypage.html):

=============
           [set Order Sample]
           [calc]
           push @{$Items}, {
                        code            => '8989898',
                        quantity        => 1,
                        description     => "Sample - $CGI->{item_desc}",
           };
           return;
          [/calc]
          [/set]

           <form action="[process]" method=post name="sampleform">
           <input type=hidden name=mv_todo value=refresh>
           <input type=hidden name=mv_nextpage value=ord/basket>
           <input type=hidden name=item_sku value="[item-code]">
           <input type=hidden name=item_desc value="[item-description]">
           <input type="image" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__samplebuy.gif" 
name="mv_click" border="0" value="Order Sample">
           </form>
=============

The code above works perfectly for Mozilla, but in IE, it does not add item 
to the cart. I checked my error logs and cannot see any kind of error.

Any ideas what could be going wrong over here ? I'm using IE 6.0 on Win2K.

Thanks.

Morning everyone,

I've just started playing around a bit with the tree menu. I understand what 
is happening and how it works, here's the question: 

When I view the tree menu on a page, + and - images are not on the menu at all 
as shown with the live demo. I've checked the live demo image locations, and 
placed them into the same images folder as they were not there. Do I need to 
add some code somewhere for this to work?

Here's a link to view what I'm referring to:

The [control-set] tag, which is used to set the parameters for
components, doesn't do interpolation well at all.  Since there's already
a [component] tag, interpolate=1 is a really bad thing to do if you're
setting components' controls.  You can, if you really have to,  use a
bit of trickery....
[loop list="[value-extended mv_searchspec]" prefix="srch"]
[control reset=1]
....other control-sets
[control-set]
 [component]some_component_name[/component]
 [searchstring][srch-code][/searchstring]
[/control-set]
....other control sets?...
[control reset=1]
[/loop]
 
Parse order makes the [srch-code] tag expand first, so all works as
expected.
you can accomplish this in the content editor by putting the [loop...]
tag in the preamble, and the [/loop] at the beginning of the content. 
It's ugly, but it should work.  Just make sure no control name has a
space in it.  :)
 
you could also replace the control-set tag with this....
 
UserTag control-set         Order        index
UserTag control-set         addAttr
UserTag control-set         hasEndTag
UserTag control-set         PosNumber    1
UserTag control-set         Routine      <<EOR
sub {
    my ($index, $opt, $body) = @_;
    $index = ($::Scratch->{control_index} || 0) unless defined $index;
 
    while($body =~ m{\[([-\w]+)(( \w+)*)\](.*)\[/\1\]}sg) {
        my $name = lc $1;
        my $val = $4;
        my $special = $2;
        $val = Vend::Interpolate::interpolate_html($val) if $special =~
/interpolate/;
        $name =~ s/-/_/g;
        $::Control->[$index]{$name} = $val;
    }
    $::Scratch->{control_index}++;
    return;
}
EOR
 
enchantments still won't work in the content editor, but if you edit a
page by hand you can do interpolation like this....
 
[control-set]
 [component]blah[/component]
 [searchspec interpolate][value-extended
name="mv_searchspec"][/searchspec]
[/control-set]
 
if someone can fix up the content editor to detect and set
interpolation, i'd be their best friend.
 
two notes:
1.  The new tag makes spaces in control names illegal.  I'm pretty sure
they were anyway, but just in case...you are warned.
2.  Everything after the first space in the control start tags is
treated as a lump of characters and scanned for keywords (and right now,
the only keyword is "interpolate").  so interpolate, interpolate=1, and
interpolate=0 (!!) will all turn on interpolation.  This can be fixed,
if doing so would make fixing the content editor less of a pain.

Thanks, Josh. I've committed this patch to CVS. If someone really wants 
the Cancel button to return to the admin, they can specify that in a tag 
argument.

try [value-extended name=mv_searchspec index=0]
More info would be nice to help you debug your problem. but in any
condition, are you sure you have a value in the "mv_searchspec"?

if you are using it in a loop to display your results
ie
se=[value-extended ...]
make sure you do not use the quotes

Message-ID: <41D38282.9040103@techess.com>

Hi all.. I did an upgrade from suse 9.0 to 9.2. In doing so the upgrade
didnt do a good upgrade/modification to apache2, so i had a ball of a
time fixing my apache settings. Now when i try to browse to see if
interchange is working and i am getting this error :


      We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable...

When i check the interchange logs i dotn see any errors... but from my
experience with have to fix the apache configuration after the update
its most likely that the config for interchange has been corrupted or
something of the sort.

Now i didnt backup my db for interchange or anything (vvery dumb of
me)... but i can still see the db in mysql.. what i want to know is
whats the best method to upgrade to 5.2 and keep my database of products
intact.

HELP

Thanks alot for any advice or ideas given.

I doubt your IC configuration is damaged.  Most likely still
an Apache / link issue.  Check your Apache logs.  Check cgi
directory permissions, link program permissions (and existence),
suEXEC settings if used, etc.  I assume you were not using
mod_interchange...

Is there a way to export all IC tables to their respective .txt files?
 This would make backing up a catalog and its data very easy.

Subject: [ic] Shipping to APO boxes
Message-ID: <41D4616E.6030000@broadgap.com>

I wanted to see if someone would be willing to help me through some 
logic for determining when an address is going to an APO.

Here are some details about the site:
- The server is running 5.2 code, but the catalog was originally built 
on 4.8 and has been upgraded along the way to include some of the 5.2 
features.
- The site is only using the "Express Checkout" type of checkout - no 
multi-page at the clients request.
- The only method of shipping for the store is UPS, so defaulting to 
another method is not an option.

The UPS lookup is returning $0 because it can't find the zip code in the 
database. There are promotions where $0 shipping would occur, so 
checking the value of shipping would have to include parsing the cart 
and verifying it against a promotion  table to see if the item is valid 
for free shipping. I was hoping to find a simpler solution than this if 
possible.

I suppose in the profile.order I could parse for "apo" across certain 
fields (such as the PO Box check for COD). However, since the actual 
shipping check is made against the ZIP code, I was wondering if there 
was a better way to check against APO type zip codes. 

Does anyone have recommendations for this type of situation?

TIA,
Gary

Gary,

I wrote a Perl module that includes the Interchange tag for UPS Online 
Tools XML interface.  I know it handles US, Canadian and International 
shipping like a charm.  I havn't tested it with APO addressess.  My 
guess is if you can go to the UPS web site and get reliable rates, the 
module should return the same rates.   I have several clients using it 
on production sites.

You can download it at

Subject: [ic] Command Line Testing Customizations vs. Constantly Restarting
	Interchange
Message-ID: <41D58001.7000504@downhomewebdesign.com>

I'm developing some Interchange customizations for a client and I'm 
looking for an easier way to test a debug my code.  I prefer to write 
clean structured modular code using subroutines for each unique 
operation.  So I often follow the example of many of the System Tags 
where they are only defined in the tag, then they call a Interchange 
function.  For example, like this soap.coretag:

UserTag soap                Order        call uri proxy
UserTag soap                addAttr
UserTag soap                PosNumber    3
UserTag soap                MapRoutine   Vend::SOAP::tag_soap

UserTag soap_entity                     addAttr
UserTag soap_entity                     MapRoutine   
Vend::SOAP::tag_soap_entity

The problem I run into, is I need to perl modules I write that require 
MySQL database access through Interchange.  I can't find any way to 
write test routines or test those from the command line.  So I end up 
making a change, restarting Interchange and testing over and over 
again.  This turns into a long process.

I'd like to run a test script like in most Perl modules to test my code, 
but I can't find how to access the database routines in 
Vend::Data::DBI.  I looked at the code in the offline and update scripts 
but they don't handle SQL databases.

I'm sure I'm missing something.  Any experts out there with suggestions 
on a way to test this code from the command line instead of constantly 
restarting interchange?

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

As far as I can tell, UPS actually doesn't ship to APO addresses so I 
think the problem would still exist. The problem I am trying to 
trap/intercept is detecting when an APO address is entered so I can stop 
the transaction. As it is now, UPS just returns a $0 shipping amount. 
The problem is that on certain items a $0 amount is ok, so I can't just 
do a simple check.

However, I think with the info that Greg provided earlier, I should be 
able to do a regex on the zip code ranges and get the info I need.

I appreciate the feedback though.

Subject: [ic] Interchange and SQL-Ledger
Message-ID: <200412311855.19555.jim@recreationalmobility.com>

Hello All,

I've seen some posts from a few people out there who have made reference to 
'almost' having interchange and sql-ledger working together, but I have not 
found any 'Success- and here's how I did it' type postings.

First let me ask, is there anyone who has this working, and is willing to 
share a quick how-to -- even if its rough! I have two dev boxes to play with 
to re-write it and post it back to the list... :)

Here's what I've been playing with so far...

This posting was from Mike Heins and is very informative:
http://lists.akopia.com/pipermail/interchange-users/2002-August/024748.html

Where I seem to be stuck is on:

NoImport customer
Database customer customer.txt dbi:Pg:dbname=ledger

The customer.txt database did not exist, and interchange would not start, 
which led me to another post from Sam Batschelet:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2003-November/036179.html

which revealed that the missing database should be structured as sql-ledger's 
customer table, and after adding that interchange would start fine.

But when trying to place an order, or create a new account, I get this error:

Failed to save customer data with accounting system 
Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger: Can't locate object method "new" via package 
"Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger" (perhaps you forgot to load 
"Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger"?) at /usr/lib/interchange/Vend/UserDB.pm line 
763.

Any pointers??
Thanks in advance
-Dave

I havn't used that capability, but from the error 
"Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger: Can't locate object method "new" via 
package", it looks like Interchange is missing SQL_Ledger.pm.  Check 
your interchange directory for that file.  Mine is located in 
/usr/lib/interchange/lib/Vend/Accounting/SQL_Ledger.pm

Another possibility is you may need to add "Require module 
Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger" to your interchange.cfg file.
