RE: [mv] New user Account / Quote Number
****** message to minivend-users from Cameron Prince <PRINCECB@novachem.com> ******
Ven,
I completed the quotation number support for my catalog and maybe you can
use it to help you with the id number you need.
Here's the global sub from minivend.cfg: (DITCHED USING ARRAYS)
GlobalSub <<EOF
sub QuoteNumber {
my $quote_log = '/path/to/quote.number';
open(QUOTENUM,"<$quote_log");
my $prev_quote_num = <QUOTENUM>;
close(QUOTENUM);
my $new_quote_num = $prev_quote_num + 1;
open(QUOTENUM,">$quote_log");
print QUOTENUM ($new_quote_num);
close(QUOTENUM);
$Vend::Session->{scratch}->{quote_num} = $new_quote_num;
return "";
}
EOF
And the code on the basket page:
[if scratch quote_num]
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=quote_number VALUE="[scratch quote_num]">
[else]
[perl arg=sub interpolate=1]QuoteNumber('')[/perl]
[/else]
[/if]
So the way this works is if the visitor adds a service to the basket and
hasn't been to the basket before, a new quote number is generated.
(Incremented once)
He can continue to add things to the basket within the same session and the
number doesn't increment.
He can save, email or process the quote and the quote number is then added
to a field in userdb.
Good luck,
Cameron

Vic,
This is essentially what I am trying to do, except in my case it's a quote
number.
I have perl code that reads a file, increments the number by one, then
inserts it into the session.
However, the code is failing to run as a global sub due to a problem using
arrays. (I posted this problem last night)
If I get a reply that shows me how to get around the array problem, I'll
share the complete code. Otherwise, I guess I'll run the code as an external
script and I'll share that with you as well.
I plan to have this going by tonight, so I'll let you know later,
Cameron

****** message to minivend-users from Victor Nolton <venom@inna.net>
******
A client wants each new customer to be assigned a unique id number. this
number would be the number for the 'code' field of the database.
I need to figure out a way to read the database and find the last
number in the database and of course add one to it. Just concerned about
duplicate numbers. Of course the user will NOT know this number, but they
still want the user to enter a username/id, and of course be able to call
up the account information based on that name and of course a password.
It is my understanding they want a database of people with numbers/codes
like 168011 168012 168013...
Has anyone done this before or am I totally wording this in a way noone
can understand.
