Custom Order Routing

[Jeff Jones <jeff@canadianbiz.com>]

Hi,

MV 3.11, Linux Mandrake release 5.3

I am trying to set the "Route" directive so that for each product the
report is routed to the appropriate email address.

Routing works when I place something like the following on the final order
form.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_order_route" VALUE="main">

However, I haven't figured out how to label individual items with a
mv_order_route value that will cause the appropriate order routing. I have
used the perl script in the MV Manual but haven't made it work yet (I am at
a disadvantage because I am not a perl programmer). The script is as
follows:

[perl arg=carts interpolate=1]
    my $string = <<'EOF';
 [item-list][item-code]  [item-field goods_type]
 [/item-list]
 EOF
    my @items;
    my %route;
    @items = grep /\S/, split /\n+/, $string;
    for(@items) {
        my ($code, $keycode) = split /\t/, $_;
       $route{$code} = $keycode;
    }
    my $cart = $Safe{'carts'}{'main'};
    my $item;
    foreach $item ( @{ $Safe{'carts'}{'main'} } ) {
        $item->{mv_order_route} = $route{$item->{'code'}} || undef;
    }
    return '';
 [/perl]

I have put the appropriate fields (goods_type) in the product database, and
it should work as far as I can tell.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

P.S.. I am still having problems with the apostrophes in my searches
causing all products to be listed. Please see Thurs., Sept. 16 "Apostrophe
