Subject: [ic] Storing variable database in SQL database
Message-ID: <43174922.3060101@phreaker.net>

Instead of storing variable.txt in a DBM file, is it possible to store 
it in an DBI/SQL database?  This seems like a catch-22 since those 
variables are not (or are they?) loaded while the catalog is being 
configured and they are referenced later in my catalog.cfg.  I know I 
have seen a post like this before, but my feeble search-challenged 
fingers just can't find it. Thanks.

It's easy. Just make sure you do before "VariableDatabase variable":

 Database variable variable.txt dbi:mysql:database=foo;host=hostname;etc=etc

Nothing more to it, as long as you have a "variable" column and the key
column contains the variable name.

Thanks Mike!  Is there anyway to stop the <table>.sql file from being 
auto-generated?  I want to re-import every time interchange is restarted 
and the catalog is re-configured, since it's there it won't import again 
unless I remove it.

You may be asking for trouble.  Unless you're running a demo catalog (where the settings, orders, etc
get flushed on reconfig), you're going to lose info.  The text file almost never has all of the info that the SQL databale has.

The tables I want to reload on reconfig are read-only and are imported 
from another system.  I consider them static tables that are never 
written to by Interchange.  The basic idea is that I can bring over the 
text files in the middle of the night and force a reconfig.  That way 
any new data from the other system appears the next morning.  Nothing in 
the docs imply that the <table>.sql is auto-generated by the import event...

You could easily set up a script to bring in the new data at night,
replace whichever .txt files you are going to replace, and remove the
related .sql files.  The tables would then be recreated with the new
data whenever they were accessed next. 

The tables are auto-generated from the .txt file if there is no .sql
file present and the table is properly defined in the configuration and
the .txt file is present.

Hi,

Just want to throw an idea out there and see if anyone else thinks it's a good one.
I'd like to be able to add fields and in general edit my tables from say within the mysql command
line interface.  However, this then requires changing the file in dbconfig/mysql/tablename.mysql
and also messing with the products/tablename.txt file if I added a new field.
My idea is to have IC read the database information at startup with a command like

mysql> show fields from products;
+--------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field              | Type          | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| sku                | varchar(15)   |      | PRI |         |       |
| category           | varchar(64)   |      | MUL |         |       |
..

Then it can read the Field, Type, Null, Key ... columns in and configure the datbase based on
that.  

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?  Can IC already do this and I just don't know ;)

Best,
Bryan

Interchange does this already.

    DatabaseAuto  dbi:mysql:database=foo;user=bar;pass=baz

Try it sometime.

Important clarification: is /store/cart/process what it actually says,
or are you disguising it? Is this the right path to your store?

Doesn't this seem like an Apache configuration error

This was added in October 2002.

If I am looking at this properly, 4.8.6 was released in
August 2002, so you just missed it.

IC 4.8.7 was released in late January 2003, and it has it.

See [1] for the changelog, and [2] for approximate release
dates.

Enjoy,

Hey Mike,

So with this config there would be no reason to create .mysql and .txt
files anymore?

Thanks Mike, it works like a _charm_ ;)  This feature is huge for me because I was really getting
sick of dealing with those .mysql files every time I wanted to change the database.  Unfortunately
I couldn't find much about it online:
http://www.google.com/search?hs=onl&hl=en&q=DatabaseAuto+interchange

I see that it's in the new XML docs though at:
http://icdevgroup.org/xmldocs/confs.html#DatabaseAuto

Wish I had known about this in 2002 ;)  But better late than never so thanks for the feature Mike!

Bryan

Subject: [ic] Problems with component cloning and creation
Message-ID: <4319845E.7060705@zambra.com>


Hello,

I've started to create my own components, but first tried to customize 
some of the components already available in the dist. The problem is 
that the function:

UI -> Content -> Component edit -> Existing components
and on the Component Edit screen
New name + click on Publish
doesn't seem to work.

It simply seems to republish the component used as a blueprint. Is this 
correct as for now?
I have 5.2.0 installed from source (no RPM) on a Red Had 9 system.

Beside this, when I try to create a new control and miss to specify the 
value for Identifier I get a somewhat cryptic message:

content_modify: op add failed for component xxxxxx

It would be nice to have the actual dependency being stated, like:

Field xxxxx is mandatory. Please fill it out.

I have some trouble with "Lookup table" and "Lookup select", too. When I 
fill out these two, the system automatically fills "Field for lookup" 
with the value from "Lookup select" out, too. ???

Thanks for any hints.

Miguel

Maybe enter a valid hex for the background-color in your body css:

Instead:
BODY {
   background-color: #00000;

use:
BODY {
   background-color: #000000;

How are you creating your pages? With the Admin or on the commandline. As 
mentioned in the previous lesson, somewhere you have the style defined and 
depending on the style you are using a theme.cfg. This file is probably 
having the BODY {} definition that you changed to get a black background 
(which Andreas found). 

If you don't remember which file it was and you have a unix like system, use 
grep or something similar to find the 5 0's (instead of the correct 6). 

The <BODY .... bgcolor="">  you will find in the place that of your template 
... that file from the other time with the @_XXXXX_@ ...
It probably says bgcolor="__BACKGROUND__" . You do not have this variable 
defined in your variable file so it would show to be empty. You can replace 
the __BACKGROUND__ with #000000   ...

Hi folks,

Using IC 5.2.0, is there any way clear ALL discounts, initially I thought that
[discount ALL_ITEMS][/discount] would do the trick but that only clears a
discount set for ALL_ITEMS not discounts set for individual items.

Can anyone suggest how to do it with IC tags or a perl routine please?

Thanks,
Andy.

To remove all discounts  Frank Davis  08-Apr-2004 05:17PM
Easy way to remove all discounts in one fell swoop: 

[perl] $Session->{discount} = (); [/perl]

It looks to be not working. The issue appears to be that the behaviour of 
the Component Edit is 'modification of content', but putting a new name 
would change this to 'add new component'. The source does not seem to be 
prepared for that. 

I changed two files to sort this out in the admin UI backend:
*  lib/UI/ContentEditor.pm   (patch below, based on
$Id: ContentEditor.pm,v 2.14 2004/02/23 01:55:50 racke Exp $)
*  lib/UI/pages/admin/content_publish.html (patch below) 

Probably a bit of an ugly hack, but it appears to work. Basically after 
get_store determined that the 'old' component exists, the name of the old 
component is replaced with the new name. I have not tested it to large 
extend, but as far as I could see it is doing the trick. 

One thing to debate for this one would be that ui_source is still the 'old' 
component name. But that would be easy to add to this aswell. 

Of course the flow for the new name should not be through 'content_modify', 
but someting like 'new_component', but that is a bit too complex for a 
saturday evening :)

This is hardcoded in ContentEditor.pm:
if(! $sub->($ref, $opt) ) {
 pain('content_modify', "op %s failed for %s %s.", $op, $type, $name);
} 

If the dependency would be added here I don't know if that would cause this 
to be showing at other points, not sure atm if this is being used for more 
than this particular place. If the dependencies are added, it would also be 
nice to have these text in a way that they can show translated aswell. 

If it is for a client to use the admin you could add some extra 
clarification to the 'Identifier' item, making it bold and adding a '*'. 
That would give the person creating the controls a basic idea already. 

You would do this is your mv_metadata.asc file afaik.

Hi Folks,

I am trying to use a wildcard to give a range of products a discount eg:-

os0001, os0002, os0010

I have tried things like $Tag->discount(  { code => 'os00*'} but the * is not
being picked up as a wildcard, also tried % ? and _, is there any way I can
wildcard this??

Thanks,

By the way, with Interchange 5.3.1 and later you will need to use
"$Discounts" instead of "$Session->{discount}".

Discount item codes cannot be specified using wildcards.

You will need to block-load your discounts using some other method,
such as a database table or a new column in the products table.

Hello Gert and Andreas,

I did look at my theme.cfg file and made the change from #00000; to #000000;

The problem is still occurring though.  I still see a block of white space
at the bottom of my Login Page :(

I don't know what else it could be.  This happened the moment I added
category_vert_toggle to this particular page which is the login.html page.
It is strange because I added it to all of the other .html pages and this
problem did not occur.

Any other thoughts?...I appreciate you guys helping me :)

Looking at the source it did not get changed. Did you restart IC? And the 
problem does exist on the other pages aswell, you only notice it if your 
screen is big enough to notice it (no scrolling).

I still see the 5 x '0' in your code for the background-color. As this 
remains invalid (from a css point of view), the default "white 
background" remains active.

Either you changed the wrong place, or the code changes were not 
published or uploaded, whatever you call it.

Hahahaha....Gert,

Thankssss...I did make the change but looks like it didn't want to go
through because I never restarted interchange.  I didn't think I had to
since I have been making many changes to many pages and never saw a need to
restart.  But, I guess in this guess I had to...DOHHHH...thanks a million
for putting up with my clumsiness ;)

Looking at the source it did not get changed. Did you restart IC? And the 
problem does exist on the other pages aswell, you only notice it if your 
screen is big enough to notice it (no scrolling).

Andreas,

The problem was that the changes were not uploaded.  I use the command line
and not the UI so I forget that in the command line there is no "Apply
Changes" or "Publish" button so that means I have to restart interchange
when I do something like this ;)

Thanks for all the help you have provided as well as for Gert :)

I still see the 5 x '0' in your code for the background-color. As this 
remains invalid (from a css point of view), the default "white 
background" remains active.

Either you changed the wrong place, or the code changes were not 
published or uploaded, whatever you call it.

Hello Gert,

thanks so much for your amazingly detailed and clear reply. I will try 
the patch for cloning components.

Message-ID: <431CD5F6.8020807@MMaz.com>

I'm against the wall and would be grateful for any help as I've got to 
hop a plan at 6am tomorrow AM, and I can't get my site back up. 

Saturday, I blew a power supply in my Dell PowerEdge1300 and as it would 
have it, its a long holiday this weekend and Dell doesn't use a standard 
ATX pinout.  After wasting hours to find out that was a dead end, I 
pulled the drives from the system and placed them into a newer system 
but Linux wouldn't run, too old of Linux for the HW.  That has been 
resolved with RH 7.1, I have Caudium running, mySQL, Perl 5.8.7 loaded 
with the kitchen sink, and IC put into place (4.8.6).  IC starts up and 
I can access all of my GDBM and mySQL tables from within the admin page, 
and all of my pages that reference these tables out side of the '[perl]' 
tags work just find, but any page that uses:

[perl tables=xxx,yyy,zzz]

Die with the error Tables XXX not found in databases.

I could really use an idea, any idea about now...

Best regards,

Barry

Your dbconf/mysql/tiers.mysql  exists?
You have removed the tiers.sql file from the products/  directory and 
restarted interchange?

just to verify....the table "tiers" exists (in that exact case, if you're using mysql), 
and IC has been set up to use it, right?  as in, is it specified in a .mysql file somewhere
or in catalog.cfg?

yes, lower case even though the error message is displaying it up 
uppercase...

Please note that this is not a SQL table, but rather GDBM.  
Additionally, this table, and all others, by they SQL or GDBM are 
accessible from within the admin UI.

To just drop in a hint, when you are using named parameters
(variable=value), you can use the "/]" shorthand. The
above is just as well written as:

[perl tables=products /]

I believe I've isolated the problem.  Withn commonadjust, I reference a usertag which does a:

$sql = "select quantity,discount from tiers where tier='" . $tier ."' order by code desc"; $results = $Tag->query({ wantarray => 1,sql => $sql } );

And it is here that IC is blowing...  Now I'm beginning to remember that I had to load a module that would allow emulation of SQL for GDBM databases.  Anyone remember what that module is so that I can get this loaded?

This won't matter with regard to your current problem, but you could
simplify your string -- the single quotes don't affect the interpolation
of $tier when included within double quotes:

$sql = "select quantity,discount from tiers where tier='$tier' order by 
code desc";

I'm not sure... perhaps you're talking about SQL::Statement
if you aren't running a current version of IC.  Mike coded
in functionality a few months ago so that SQL::Statement is
no longer needed.  If you *do* need SQL::Statement, make sure
it is version SQL-Statement-0.1021 -- later versions did not
work with IC.

Subject: [ic] Possible bug with Menu.pm, external links, and menu-type=tree
Message-ID: <431FC3E1.3010103@broadgap.com>

Using Menu.pm with the "Product Tree" component produces an invalid URL
for external links (assuming I am entering them correctly).

When the tree is expanded, it appears that "?open=34" gets appended to
the URL for internal interchange links (where 34 is the parent menu that
has been toggled). However, when visiting an external link, the number
actually gets added to the inside of the url i.e. "http://www.cnn.com34/"

I noticed that there is an "External Links" option on the second tab of
the menu editor, but I have been unsuccessful in getting it to work.
Currently, for external links, I just enter the fully qualified URL in
the "Page" input for the menu editor.

Am I doing something wrong with creating these external links, or is
this a bug? I have tested this with various builds from 5.2 up to the
most current nightly build.

TIA,
Gary

Message-ID: <431F18B9.6000404@M-and-D.com>

Hi - I'm running a somewhat busy site with 400,000 skus using IC 5.2 and
mysql on Centos 4.1 on a dual Xeon box. From time to time the cpu load
goes rather high causing the site to slow. These periods of high load
seem to correspond to spider sessions.

I'm considering bringing a second box online and I'm trying to decide on
the best approach. Either some type of load balancing such as ha-linux,
or maybe just moving the mysql to one box leaving IC and apache on the
other.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to proceed? Finding out
exactly what's happening during these high cpu load spikes seems like a
logical first step. Any other advice?

Hello Simon,

I've experience the same problem today. I just remember having changed 
the DEFAULT_LOCALE value in the variable table.
Solved it hardcoding the default locale.

You need to look into the [item-options] and [table-organize] tags.

The relevant code from my basket page is:

    [if-item-field option_type eq Simple]
        [table-organize cols=1 table=' ' font="size=1" pretty=1]
            [item-options td=1 price=1 report=1]
        [/table-organize]
    [/if-item-field]

I can't remember exactly how it all works, but I seem to remember I had to
do a lot of experimenting...

Subject: [ic] Incorrect shipping when item in basket uses Matrix options
Message-ID: <BF47636F.4A7D%interchange@bojanglesdesign.co.uk>

My catalog calculates shipping costs based on the criteria 'price' (which I
guess refers to the "price" field in the product database).

However, this is causing problems when a product uses Matrix Options,
because the prices for the options are specified in a different database. So
when shipping is calculated the prices of any products that use Matrix
Options are not included in that calculation.

Has anyone come across this problem before, or have any advice on how it
could be solved?

I am using a development version of Interchange 5.3.1

Thanks in advance.

It looks I'm unable to get the value of mv_match_count on a results page.

I'm using IC 5.2.0 on a machine under RedHat 9.

I'm customizing the foundation store, and have modified the 
"results_big" component to suit it to my needs. I would like to have the 
number of  matches always shown, even when there is no need to paginate 
a results list. So I embedded a [value mv_match_count] in the search 
region. It does always return 0, as I checked with an "if" test, 
although there are >0 matches.

Is there a fast way to check  where the problem is located?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Davor,

right!!! I may have read it wrong, but I think the docs say 
"mv_match_count", like on page 16 of the ic templates guide in pdf-format.

Thanks for your great help.
Oh, you're writing from Croatia! My sister-in-law is from Brod, living 
now in Barcelona.

Also in the docs on icdevgroup site it is saying mv_match_count:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=ictags04%2e37 

Typo? Or discontinued functionality? :)

Ummm.. At first I thought it was a typo, but *IIRC* actually I think 
we changed that variable name within last 12 months?

Did you find out what happens when you have this high cpu load? Some things 
to consider perhaps:
 - If a restart of IC would deal with lowering the cpu load at once, that 
would be an easy work around probably. Depending on cpu load to restart IC
 - Are your product pages static? If not then you could reduce your database 
queries by having the product pages be static?
 - Any ways you could tune your database further (indexes etc)
 - If it's your Apache upping the load then you could first looking into 
leaning & meaning your apache, toss out all that's not needed for your set 
up (if not already done)
 - I have not much experience with load balancing, but you could perhaps 
check out pound (www.apsis.ch/pound/). This is probably more for when you 
have 2 machines doing the same thing. 

If it turns out one specific application causing the trouble, then putting 
this application to another machine is usually not the solution, because 
then that machine will eventually become the bottleneck again. Spreading the 
load of that application over more machines might then be something to 
consider. I usually prefer to keep away form loadbalancing as much as 
possible, because it creates a lot of extra work/maintenance. 

Good luck, I'm curious to how you have solved your problem (if you have). 

CU, 

Gert

My money is still on a typo in the docs ...
lib/Vend/Scan.pm  of IC 5.4.3 of somewhere in 2000 is specifying:
$::Values->{mv_search_match_count}    = $matches; 

Only Tagref.pm and some mv docs speak of mv_match_count. 

Whoever wants to could ofcourse add another line for mv_match_count, but in 
this case would most likely have to maintain his/her own patchfile ;)

Didn't he say "IIRC" ? This is a belief, not a conclusion :-) Especially 
if followed by a question mark !

Actually, the cvs logs do not mention "mv_match_count" anywhere - so I 
believe (sic!) this is a typo in the docs.

Message-ID: <3BA7D666-93D9-4C02-8770-F69CB68EA074@kingdomdesign.com>

I'm trying to verify that the unique SKU check in the UI's "Create  
New Item" actually works.

It seems that upon first opening this page for a new item, a SKU is  
automatically generated, and the little iFrame says "No." Mv_metadata  
says that "No" means "Key is available." When changing the SKU and  
hitting Tab, the iFrame changes to "Yes," which means "Key exists!"

The iframe says "Yes" no matter what SKU I enter -- whether existing  
or not. It only says "No" upon the first page access.

I think this is a bug. I would try to fix it, but the admin is a bit  
scary, as I checked the source of item_edit.html and there's hardly  
anything there. Grepping for "poke_iframe" located the code in  
mv_metadata (even scarier).

The most efficient method would be an usertag. Use $Db object for the
query and errmsg() function for the translation.

Are the response times / reliability still problematic?  Is
anyone using the real-time services?

If you're using your own shipping tables (as we are), what method do you
use to keep up with the changes in rates & fuel surcharges?
Do the shipping companies have mailing lists to announce changes? Or are
those changes made at specific dates (e.g. monthly, annually) on
a specific place on their web sites?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

Do you know of any credit card payment gateways/merchant accounts
that can settle in multiple currencies using the same accounts
(e.g. US Dollars and UK Pound Sterling)?

We currently use an old Verisign system.  When we inquired, we
were told we had to upgrade to PayFlow Pro, pay for both systems
during the transfer, and pay full price.  And that if we wanted
to settle in multiple currencies, we needed two payment gateway
accounts and two merchant accounts.

Is that multiple currency means multiple accounts a Verisign
restriction or is that true among other providers, too?

It depends on what you consider to be reliable.  During the 2004 shopping
season (Nov-Dec), UPS slowed down considerably, and many requests errored
out over a period of several hours (on more than one occasion).

[Warning: shameless plug follows.]

Business::Shipping comes with 2005 offline tables for UPS as well as scripts
to screen-scrape the new fuel surcharges every month.  I wrote a tool to
convert the tables when UPS updates them once per year, but I've yet to
release it (no one has asked, and I haven't gotten any round tuits).

Dear Interchange users

Shane Harper and I have received a quote for integrating UPS into
Interchange. The modification would be as follows:

Produce Label on New Order
--------------------------
- Go to Interchange admin
- Click Orders tab
- Click on status link for an Order
- Order Status page is displayed
- Click Ship All lines
- If shipmode is a UPS mode,

- - Will return error if error received from UPS
- - If no error,
- - - Label tag will get paid label
- - - Label tag will get tracking number and store in transaction table
- - - Tracking number, order number & actual cost store in ups_ledger table
- - - Label pdf is stored in orders directory
- - - Shipped email sent to user (if email preference) with tracking number
- - - Order Status page returns with link for label
- - - Clicking link will open label as pdf in new window.
- - - Print label from window.

Void Label (from Order Status page)
----------

- Order Status page is displayed
- Click Void next to UPS label link
- If void request receives error, error is displayed
- If no error from void request,
- - Tracking number removed from tracking table
- - Void entry with tracking number, order number & cost recorded in
ups_ledger table
- - Label pdf in orders directory is deleted
- - Order Status page is displayed with message label voided and print link
removed 


The estimate is $1400.00 USD, works on US and CA addresses only and you must
have a UPS account number for it to work. So far it is just Shane and I
pitching in, and we were hoping we could raise a little bit more money.
Shane and I are not affiliated with each other, but requested a quote from a
consultant together after I sent out a request on the BIZ list.

If you would like to help out to get this off the ground, any amount would
be appreciated and could be sent to Shane or me via check, paypal, credit
card or money order. $10.00.... $100.00... whatever, will help us.

Please note, I have not looked into whether or not this can be *distributed
with* Interchange, so once it is built, it may just have to be downloaded
and installed separately. UPS may or may not have different requirements for
placing it inside a software package for distribution.

You may want to reply if interested off list, as many have no use for this.

Paul Jordan

   I use the on-line rate checker interface for FedEx most of the time.
Since I can't seem to count on the FedEx rate server to work 100%
of the time I've set up a cron to monitor the rate check results and
if it doesn't appear to be working I switch to use the table.  And I
didn't want to depend on keeping my copy of the rate tables
up to date... to much hassle though this is the first I've read of
Dan's script method.  Wonder if it works for FedEx as well.

Only UPS at the moment, although I would like to add FedEx and USPS
eventually.  It's rather vendor-specific because it does a *lot* of work to
clean up the UPS data and optimize it for fast lookups.  UPS appears to have
an army of obsfucation experts that make their tables difficult for
machine-reading. The least of their antics is to release a small percentage
of their files as actual Excel binary-format spreadsheets, despite being
named .csv.

Subject: [ic] guess_cc_type(), does the 'test way' need to be changed ?
Message-ID: <4327EEA6.7090307@post10.tele.dk>

Hi, this is mostly for brainstorming...

I did observe that Mike have changed the guess_cc_type() function to 
cover more cards.

Because we (here in DK) can charge different fees for different CC card, 
like :

- danish issued CC ( fee 1.95 + 0.1 %)
- danish issued visa electron (1.95 + 1.25)
- international issued CC's (1.95 + 5.5%)

Due to this I did contact our national clearing house, and after 'some' 
dialog I got a 5 pages listening of prefixes for different CC numbers. 
allthough a lot of them is really local cc cards (like shell or ikea 
cards), it gives some challenges to pick out the segments for the dk 
issued cards.


Eg. Danish issued Visa Electron is prefixed/segmented as following (and 
can be between 13 & 19 digits long)
402620
405245
405266 - 405277
405832 - 405839
405860
405864
405934
406432 - 406438
406443
417500 ? 417536
417538 ? 417548
417550 ? 417599
417600 - 417603

JBC is : 3528 - 3589 (I can not confirm the prefix 1800 & 2131 for JBC, 
can any of you ?)

and so on (DK issued MC is 38 lines long...)

So, I was thinking of a new way to make this CC tests, like a lookup in 
a table, but due to the use of prefixes like 405833 is also 'coveret' by 
the rule /^4(?:\d{12}|\d{15})$/ , I can not se a 'easy' way to make 
another way to make the test, else than expanging the existing routine..


So any ideas ?

If I were to pick a way to change the source to do this, I would put at
the top of the routine:

    if(my $subname = $Vend::Cfg->{SpecialSub}{guess_cc}) {
        my $sub = $Vend::Cfg->{Sub}{$subname} || $Global::GlobalSub->{$subname};
        my $guess;
        if( $sub and $guess = $sub->($ccnum) ) {
            return $guess;
        }
    }

That would allow you to put your own routine before the existing one

I guess I didn't finish that. I will now:

The above, in combination with this in catalog.cfg

## Map a subroutine to guess custom credit card types
SpecialSub  guess_cc_type  special_cc

Sub special_cc <<EOS
sub {
    my $num = shift;
    return 'foobar' if $num =~ /^41/;
    return undef;
}
EOS

makes it possible to do this.

This is in CVS.

Subject: [ic] ITL functions
Message-ID: <20050916002158.GB30030@host4.cmainteractive.com>

Hello,

I am just finishing up an experimental project of sorts.  To complete my latest IC 
project, I determined that I was not going to use any of Foundation, and furthermore, I 
was going to use ITL as much as possible.

As the project comes to a close, I'd say it worked damn well, with the exception of one 
thing.  I don't know how to do a function that contains ITL.  For example, I found 
that I cut-and-pasted large blocks of ITL in numerous places.  Now I should refactor those 
blocks into function calls, but usertags consist of perl, not ITL.  I might be able to 
make a generic usertag wrapper that called functions via include or some other kludgy 
mechanism, but before I go off on a ridiculous tangent I was curious as to how some of the 
experts here might address this.

Thanks,
Jeff

Not sure I constitute an expert on such things yet, but if you are
looking for a way to create reusable chunks of ITL I suspect the
"include" tag is the ticket (or at least one of them).

It is very similar to a standard server side include, only it
interpolates for ITL as well.  Technically it isn't like a function
where you could pass arguments, and receive a return value, but not sure
the ITL you are copying and pasting would need to do that anyways.
Everything that is normally available to the ITL is still available.

Exactly so. There are no ITL functions written in ITL -- they must
be written in Perl.

That being said, a UserTag is an ITL function which includes the
ability to define your own parameters.

That's exactly it, I do want to pass parameters in.  The return results I can do without,
I can just set something in scratch if need be.  I can do that for passing parameters in
also, except it starts to look weird.  Or maybe it doesn't, now that I am thinking about
it it starts to look like setting class properties before executing a method call, so
maybe it isn't so bad.  I use includes fairly extensively in the manner you describe and I
can probably use tmp scratch vars to pass data in and out now without feeling like a goon.

db.sql="select * from foo where bar=1"
db.execute()
if db.error != 0 print "oops"

[tmp db_sql]select * from foo where bar=1[/tmp]
[tmp db_method]execute[/tmp]
[include file="includes/db"]
[if scratch db_error != 0]
	oops
[/if]

Interesting, although I'd feel weird knowing that db was being included a zillion times.  
I am thinking that it might be possible for the db include to save all of its code in a 
scratch var, so you'd go something like:

[include file="includes/db"]

[tmp db_sql]select * from foo where bar=1[/tmp]
[tmp db_method]execute[/tmp]
[tag interpolate=1][scratch db][/tag]
[if scratch db_error != 0]
        oops
[/if]

Some interesting concepts, I am fascinated by how much capability plain ITL offers.

Jeff

Nawwwww... we need ITL functions!  (Haha, I am sure I am in not just the minority here, 
but the singularity!)

As an experiment, I just did my most recent clients' project (www.xtremetripshs.com) using
pure ITL on the entire frontend and backend.  The whole thing is custom, it doesn't use
foundation nor does it use the admin UI or any derivative.  It was a fascinating project,
we built a mini Orbitz or something.  Between their office staff entering mail-in
reservations on the backend and their internet users booking trips on the frontend, the
system was processing one credit card transaction every 15 seconds during one 4 hour
period a couple of weeks ago.  And no perl (well, other than to clear the Values space),
just ITL.  It's crazy...

I think that it would be very nice to have a simple, elegant argument
passing scheme for ITL.  It would be useful even for short, simple
ITL snippets that aren't ready to become perl code yet.  Something like a
redesigned [component].

Throwing out some ideas...

[call-itl fn=foo a=1 b=2]

 * Sets up special environment variables, accessible via [arg a], [arg b]
   (or scratch vars if we don't want to start a new namespace.)

 * Does an [include] itl_lib/<function>.itl (foo.itl in this case) (with
   interpolation of argument variables as above) -- or maybe an
   interpolate_html().

It would probably be difficult to get the order of interpolation just right.

No, not back to the days of [[tag]]!

There used to be such an animal, a [with ...] [/with] tag. But trust me,
Perl is a better way. 8-)

Can anyone help me with shipping and an LTL carrier company that uses the
NMFC class.  All of our products have an nmfc class and orders are
frequently over 150 lbs.  What can I do.  I have tried adapting the
Fedex-query tag into a roadway-query tag but it seems I have gotten over my
head with the shipping.  Interchange seems to work with fedex and ups but
its a bear if you want to alter some of those formulas.

basicall here is what I need.

Origin zip
destination zip
origin city
destination city
weight
NMFC

Roadway.com has an E-commerce link that will spit back the rate quote based
on these criteria but I can't do step one.

Any serious help is requested thank you in advace

It wouldn't really work like IC's Foundation shipping stuff.  You'd have to rate each item 
individually because the rate varies by NMFC which can vary from item to item.  Your best 
bet would probably be to find the NMFC that represents the "middle ground" and rate the 
entire order using that NMFC.  In that case, you could use some derivative of the 
fedex-query tag because you'd be dealing with the entire order and a fixed NMFC.

The issue that you are encountering is that, in the shipping industry, LTL rating is based
off a different set of input values than those for small packages (and those for 
truckload, as well).

Hope this helps,
Jeff

OK, I got around to it and released the tool to CPAN.  It's name is 
Business::Shipping::DataTools, and the download can be found here:

http://www.kavod.com/Business-Shipping/

If you have a strong stomach, you can look at all the contortions it goes
through to get the UPS data into a format that is fast for lookups.

In addition, I refactored the "screen-scrape new fuel surcharges" script
and released Business-Shipping-2.01.

Hi Jeff, 

I think Steve was actually referring to the being able to ship the goods, 
not the IC part. The message in question was actually posted to the userlist 
in 2002 :) 

Steve is looking for business, but if the guy had something to ship I do 
hope he did that within the past 3 years lol 

CU,

Well, I have done it, but not sure if there is any info in the archives at
icdevgroup.org or not.

Make sure you have the correct version of perl installed somewhere, some
functions won't work without it. I would install 5.2 first in a new folder
called /ic5 (instead of /ic, so you can run both old and new at same time),
run makecat (making sure you are using the newer perl version) and created a
new catalog called test1, then copy over all pages, products, etc. from the
existing catalog/website.
Make sure to view the field count in all tables, as you will have to add
some fields to some tables. I know for sure these tables have added fields,
there may be others:
transactions
userdb
mv_metadata

You may want to consider adding the new fields to your existing catalog
also, so when it is time to go live, you can copy over all tables at once
and be ready to just turn it on.
After you copy over your CATROOT/products/variables.txt you will have to
change the catalog naming to 'CATROOT/test1' and the '/ic' to '/ic5' inside
that file and then restart the /ic5 server.
Get this 'test1' copy running to your liking, make sure and test everything
twice ;)
Once you have 'test1' catalog running exactly like you want it, change the
cat name in variables.txt back to the original name and stop the interchange
server running in /ic and restart the one running in /ic5.

There is definitely some fiddling around but it can be done. You may also
want to check out the multi-page checkout in the mike demo, it is very nice
if you like multi-page checkouts.

Good luck!

Hi Folks,

Reading back through the archives it looks like someone created some code for
product reviews and ratings, however I cannot seem to find any links to the
actual code itself, has anyone implemented this or something similar?

I would like customers to be able to rate a product and to display an average
rating with customer comments, ideally comments only being displayed after
admin approval.

Thanks,

The code I was developing at the time has not been released in the same form
as I envisioned while working on it. My code for the 'rate this / review this'
feature has more or less been transformed into the survey code. See the
quickpoll in the standard demo.

The survey feature enables one to quickly set up a poll by simply defining
some questions and response types (Yes/No answers, rating on a scale,
open answers etc.). The answers survey participants supply are recorded
in a file for later processing.

Ton

My version of Net::SMTP doesn't have a port parameter.

No, apparently you can only specify a hostname here. 

You can redirect the SMTP traffic with iptables rules.

The downside of these is the lack of any session ID and risk

Did you try just substituting www.icdevgroup.org for interchange.redhat.com?
Worked for me.

Subject: [ic] Collapsible Vertical Category Toggles
Message-ID: <4332BADD.1070805@tampabay.rr.com>

Hello All,

On my page I have set my category list to be collapsible.  This is 
exactly what I want but the only thing I don't like is that it shows a 
plus and minus (+, -) next to each category to let people know that the 
category is collapsible.  Is there a way to remove those +'s and -'s?  I 
prefer to have none but still keep it collapsible.  In the UI for Admin 
if you select Collapsible for your category there is a field that says 
"leave blank to use default + or -".  So there is no way for me to get 
rid of it.  If I leave it blank it inserts the default which is + or -.  
It pretty much doesn't give me a choice.  It's either leave default to 
use it or put something in the field to use my own toggle open switch or 
toggle close switch.

Is there a way for me to be able to not use anything and still leave it 
collapsible?

Thanks,

Tito

Don't have possibility to test atm, but have you tried:
 - putting &nbsp;  (non breaking space)
 - making it an img src which is actually a blank image?

Gert,

Sorry if this is dumb but I wouldn't even know where to put &nbsp;

I tried placing it as a value in the toggle switch open/toggle switch 
closed field under the UI and published it but its still them same.  I 
am also having the problem that when I edit the CONTENT for the 
index.html and select publish I go to the site itself and the CONTENT 
doesn't take the changes.  The changes did take in the UI but when I see 
the actual page its still the same.  For example,  In the index.html I 
change "Welcome to the Interchange Foundation Store!" to something like 
"Welcome to the DaemonRacing Inc. Subaru Store!"  I hit publish and it 
looks like it goes ok but when I check the actual page it still shows 
Welcome to Interchange Foundation Store!  If I go back to edit the 
content the correct changes are still there but it just won't show on 
the webpage itself.  I also tried restarting interchange a couple of 
times to no luck.  Sorry for the issues but I thank u in advance and 
Docelic for always helping :-)

Gert,

What if I want to use my own toggle switch open/close buttons.  For 
example, If I want to create instead of a plus (+) or minus (-) a dot 
that is color coded.  Green dot to open toggle switch and red dot to 
close a toggle switch?  In the value field it says to insert "Image to 
use for closing a category, leave blank to leave default -"  So if I 
want to use my dots what would I enter in the value field so that it 
knows I want to use my dots?  There is a place where u specify the image 
directory so it knows where the image of the dots are but I wouldn't 
know what to put as a value...perhaps this could be something i should 
do instead..

Find the location of images by the name of 'plus.gif' and 'minus.gif' .. 
They are in a standard install somewhere in images/interchange-5/en_US, but 
just do a find for those images. 

Replace plus.gif  with your own created green dot image.
Replace minus.gif with your own created red dot image. 

CU, 

Gert

I'm running IC 5.2 and a catalog which began life as 4.8. I'm trying to
create a unique meta keywords tag for each page. I found some
information in the archives about meta_header. One post said:

I've tried both of these, but each one made the admin UI's content
editor barf with a message saying:

"...content_editor Died in server spawn: Can't use an undefined value as
a HASH reference at /home/me/interchange/lib/UI/ContentEditor.pm line 475."

Can someone provide a hint?

My catalog also began life as 4.x and grew into 5.x. The format you used
is the same as what most of mine have. Some are simple:

page_title:
        label: Page title
        width: 50

Some are complex:

meta_description:
        code: meta_description
        db: ^@
        label: Meta Description
        type: text
        width: 50


(Not sure what that db: means)
I just spent a while trying to understand the code, but it's over my
current mental capacity. Do you have other options listed in the
template that ARE working? Are there any funny characters in the name?

 Another way to do it is to just add the html/ic tags in 
 templates/foundation/regions/LEFTRIGHT_TOP
 and the other _TOP files
 
 like
 ...
   <meta name="keywords" content="[scratch metakeywords]">
 ...
 
 And then in the flypage use [seti metakeywords] [item-field keywords] [/seti] to set the metakeywords scratch value.
 For other pages you can also set the keywords to whatever you want [set metakeywords] whatever ... [/set]
 
 Works for me anyway.

Upgrading Interchange 4.8.61 to latest 5.2 on Redhat Linux 7.2

I ran the following

perl Makefile.pl prefix=/var/lib/interchange
make
make test
make install
service interchange restart

Nothing failed - all tests passed and states install successful 
Interchange restarted OK as well.

I tried logging into the admin for interchange
and it still states version 4.8.61 and no changes have been made to the
admin interface or anything.

Anyone else have this issue? If so how did you fix it?

Subject: [ic] Important: Security flaw found in Interchange demo catalog.
Message-ID: <097201c5bfc1$65827910$6b02a8c0@uk.webmaint.net>


A security flaw has been discovered in the Interchange demo catalog which
allows an arbitary user to inject Interchange Tag Language (ITL) into the
forum/submit.html page. This affects catalogs built on the 'mike' demo and
the 'standard' demo included with Interchange from version 4.9.3
(development) and 5.0 (stable).

The Interchange Development Group recommends that all vulnerable catalogs
are immediately patched with the updated version of the forum/submit.html
file. Alternatively, if the forum feature is not being used, the page can
safely be removed. Whether or not the forum feature is being used, this page
should be patched or removed.

Updated releases of Interchange: 5.0.2 and 5.2.1 are available, RPM versions
will follow.

http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/tar/
http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.2/tar/

The daily build will be updated as of 23 September.

Hi, Dan!

Are you sure you didn't end up with two interchange installations? In my
FC3 installation, the prefix is /usr/lib/interchange, and the catalogs
are stored in /var/lib/interchange. So you probably have Interchange
installed in /var/lib/interchange, and your scripts pointing to
/usr/lib/interchange or /usr/local/interchange.

You might want to use 'Linux Standard Base' style install:

Subject: [ic] Help with Index.html changes
Message-ID: <43356A3B.2090108@tampabay.rr.com>

Hello All,

Sorry about the bother but I need some help on my index.html changes.  I 
changed the index.html area where it says Welcome to Interchange 
Foundation Store.  I hit publish and it goes through fine...but if I hit 
the site the change is not really showing.  It does save the changes in 
the UI for Admin but it just doesn't show on my actual webpage.

The other problem I am having is with the plus/minus for the collapsable 
category_vertical_toggle.  When I set it to category_vert_toggle it 
shows a plus and minus on my categories on the index.html page instead 
of my own picture which should be a small dot/button.  I changed the 
tminus.gif and tplus.gif to represent my own picture in ./en_US 
directory but that didn't do anything...any help would be greatly 
appreciated as always.

To have an idea of what I mean u can visit 
www.clarinetreedmaker.com/cgi-bin/subaru

Thanks again

In case you haven't tried that I'd clear the browser cache to be sure not to 
look at old stuff. 

Next do Apply Changes in the admin UI, this could solve the title story. 

For the images pretty much could be a caching problem... Other than that it 
could be that the images you have changed are not the ones used in the menu 
.... In case you changed tplus.gif -> if there is a plus.gif you should have 
changed that...

Hasn't anyone thought of just right-clicking on the image and finding
out where it is? I believe it would be fo.gif and fc.gif you are looking
for....

On the page that Tito gave to look it's not using the +/- images, but a 
textual +/- .... Perhaps another missed apply changes/restart IC .... In my 
admin UI looking at the component it gave me the plus/minus.gif ..
Anyway several ways to Rome ...

Subject: [ic] Session Database - Moving from files to SQL
Message-ID: <4337CAED.40303@scotwebshops.com>

Hi there,
I help run a fairly busy interchange store, and was looking for ways to 
boost performance of the site (We are almost at the stage of maxing out 
a dual xeon server).
After browsing the RTFM site for a while I came across the following 
sections:
3.80 SessionDatabase
3.81 SessionDB

In 3.80 it states you can configure interchange to use flat file or 
db/gdbm files for sessions, and 3.81 states you can use a separate 
database for interchange sessions, but that is not recommended?

Has anyone managed to use DBI for interchange sessions? Does anyone know 
the schema to use? Is it worth doing?

Thanks.

Sandy.

Search the archive. This has been discussed here at least one time
AFAIR.

>(Not sure what that db: means)

"db" names a lookup table where selectable values can be found, if you're using a selectish widget for the control.  There is another field (lookup?) where a pair of fields in that table can be set to be the value and label for each option.  I think it's often added automatically by the template editor when the control is modified, whether or not it's necessary.

I don't remember it being very useful for anything else, and for text controls it can generally be deleted--especially if the only thing after it is ^@.  In vi, ^@ is a text representation of a null (\0) (end of C string) (perl CGI multi-valued-argument separator).

Whitespace matters when you're making controls.  The description: and widget: lines ought to be indented,
and a blank line should follow that bunch of lines.  (i'm not sure whether both are necessary, but either way it looks better.  :) )

Message-ID: <20050926150833.89386.qmail@web32910.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I have dealers working nicely, dealers login and see a
dealer price. I setup a flat shipping rate:

FLATD  Flat rate price 0 0 e Nothing to ship!
FLATD  Flat rate price 1 49.99 f 4.95
FLATD  Flat rate price 50 9999 f 0.00

Dealers are having their shipping calculated on the
real price and not the dealer/wholesale price. What
should I do to make this work?

Thanks for your help...

Cheers, I have email going back at least a year and couldn't find 
anything, but found some useful bits and pieces from articles related to 
clustering on icdevgroup.org .

We use DBI for sessions on one server cluster, with PostgreSQL as the 
backend. It's a significantly modified version that uses PostgreSQL's 
native locking for sessions instead of the "sessionlock" column. We're 
still working on genericizing it so we can put it in Interchange's CVS.

I know at least a couple of setups use DBI sessions with MySQL 
successfully.

If you can make it work well, I'd actually recommend you first try NFS or 
GFS for centralized file-based session sharing. It's a lot less hassle.

Does the icdevgroup have any controlling interest in the IC logo?  

If so, i direct their attention to http://www.webpro.com/website-package.asp .  The company by all available evidence does not use Interchange or offer IC consulting services, which I expected to find given their use of the logo all over the page.

Try changing your FLATD rule to look a bit more like this:

FLATD: Flat rate
	crit	[subtotal noformat=1]
	min	0
      max	0
	cost	e Nothing to ship!

	min	1

	max	9999
	cost	0.00

Subject: [ic] Quantity Based Pricing
Message-ID: <433AE7BE.9020905@esquat.com>

Hello world \n;

I wish to change the qbp mechanism of the foundation store. Rather than 
having the q2, q5, q10 ... fields in the pricing table, I want quantity 
fields and their according prices in one table row:
     sku, dealer, pricegroup, quantity1, price1, q2, p2, q3, p3
or something similar. I then will search the largest quantity equal or 
inferior to the order quantity to determine the price.

The need arises from different groups of products that have different 
"reasonable" order quantities.

I miserably fail to identify the code where prices are determined in IC 
or the Foundation. Someone can help me out ?

Thanks a ton,
Andreas

Take a look in etc/after.cfg
You set the pricing in pricing.txt
and the commadjust controls its use.
search the list for commadjust, quantity pricing, after.cfg, 

hope this helps

I am assuming the above should read "items_list" instead of "ites_list"
based on the name in your text. An easy way to avoid this issue if you
are going to submit back to the same page is to use an IC "built-in"
variable.

<input type="hidden" name="mv_nextpage" value="@@MV_PAGE@@">

Should give you the same thing and is more portable.

Subject: [ic] More-list and UserTags
Message-ID: <2118133D44E0F1418DC4A98EF588B651C8B6FE@bpa02.bpade.local>

Hi list.

I want to use Interchange functions to build up the more-list - Tag for
my own UserTags.
There is nothing found in in the maillinglist and on icdevgroup.org
about the an implementation of more-list in UserTags, yet.

So I searched a littlebit in the lib/Vend directory for more information
how Interchange did it.
The main problem seems to be, that Interchange use an instance to access
the functions in all Vend - Moduls and that UserTags not have this
instance variable.

Is there a possebillity to access and use the more-list function in self
written UserTags?

Thanks in advanced,

Lars

Hello DB,
   Besides what Brian mentioned, I would say that this method is fine. 
One thing that crosses my mind is your quantities.  Is there a reason 
for hard coding the quantities to 1?  Are you restricting customers from 
ordering more than one of the same item?  If so, then you will need to 
stop them from adding the same item to their cart more than once.  They 
  add it to their cart, the page refreshes, and then they click on the 
item again.  Something to think about.  But if this isn't a problem, 
then don't worry about it.

The "1" is just the default in an open text box. How was it hard coded?
There isn't even a maxlength not that that means much anyways.

Oops, my mistake.  I misread his code and assumed type=hidden.  Sorry 
about that. :-)  Please ignore my previous comments about quantity.

Subject: [ic] Negative Sales Tax with Discounts
Message-ID: <59C3B1AB-9118-4336-A1EC-8E814A64AD1B@showmeinteractive.com>

I'm having difficulty with a store we're building currently with the  
sales tax calculation. The site has products that are both taxable  
and nontaxable. The site also applies discounts to the entire order  
based on a customer's group affiliation. When a nontaxable product is  
purchased with a discount the discount/tax code still subtracts the  
discounted tax information. When no discount is applied the  
nontaxable information works properly.

Example:

Facts (simplified):
Customer A gets a 20% discount on all items in the store.
Tax rate for customer A is 10%
Product Y costs $100 and is not taxable

Situation:
Customer A buys product Y for $100
An entire_order discount of $20 is applied

Customer A sees a total of $78 (an $80 subtotal and a -2 tax)
The negative tax matches the tax rate multiplied by the discount  
amount (negative).

This same behavior happens when a customer purchases a mix of taxable  
and nontaxable products from the store in that the sales tax is  
decremented for the entire discount, not just the taxable products.

Any suggestions? Tips on where to look? Have other people encountered/ 
solved this problem?

Thanks,
Kerner

Take a look at the cheesy [google-query] UserTag on my RTFM website:

    http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/downloads/usertags/index.html

You can use that code as an example of how to create a list container.
that can then make use of the various [PREFIX-code] and [more-list]
subtags.

I've narrowed it down a bit further. It seems to only happen when the  
discount is a dollar amount. When the discount is a percentage there  
isn't a problem. Does anybody have any ideas as to why these would  
behave differently?

Hello,

I have IC 5.2 running under RedHat 9 with a MySQL database.
I have noticed a strange behaviour when editing records of the Locale 
table group wise.
When I check several entries on the same UI page, click on [Edit 
checked] and edit them sequentially, some of them actually don't get 
updated. If I make a lookup for these records afterwards, they show up 
in their original state.

This happened to me with the messages starting with (code):

Do you use the default perl for Redhat 9? If you do, then you have to
manually install your  own perl. The stock-perl of RH 9 is a threaded
version, and some modules that IC relies on can't handle that.

Hello Ren?,

thanks for the input. Yes, I had installed my own non-threaded Perl.

This "maybe bug" puzzles me.

do you know what the use for this record with key "ProductFiles" is? I'm 
localizing the table for locale es_ES and after restarting the server I 
kept getting server errors, because my translation for this item didn't 
exist as a ProductFile. It looks like some script queries this record

Your "translation for this item" does not need to "exist as a ProductFile".

Actually, this is a case of a directive being set based on locale.
You can do:

	Locale de_DE ProductFiles  "produkte varianten"
	Locale fr_FR ProductFiles  "produits variantes"

to get different product tables based on locale.

To some extent this has been obsoleted by Stefan's excellent
Vend::Table::Shadow setup, which allows you to shadow certain
fields based on locale. That is what we tend to use nowadays.
