Sorry, bad mv_metadata definition for that catalog. This will be corrected as I totally revamp the layout editor. In the interim: 1. Log in as a super user to the UI. 2. Make sure you turn on meta links: Quicklinks -> Preferences -> link at bottom 3. Navigate to the Item editor --- Edit any item. --- Follow the "meta" link for the field "category". 4. mv_metadata editor for products::category --- select widget type "Combo select" --- select filter type "Null select" --- Click OK button 5. Navigate back to the item editor. At that point, you should be able to type in any text and it will show up as a new category. -- Akopia, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.8220 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Friends don't let friends use Outlook. -- Bob Blaylock From: racke at linuxia.de (Stefan Hornburg ) Date: 12 Sep 2000 08:22:46 +0200 Subject: [ic] Re: Removing all instances of "NOT NULL" from an entire directory of files "Michael R.

The CCID Keys etc. are given at the end of the registration process along with your username and password to access the Cybercash account administration web server. Your credit card is not billed until you 'Go live' so it is free while you are developing in test mode, which is the default for new accounts. Its all pretty painless Print the info they send you and stick it in a safe place for future reference.

Cybercash and Interchange are now working on my redhat 6 system. Thanks to Ben Humphrey, Homestead.com and Mike Heins. Set up a test account with CyberCash. Download the CyberCash 3.2.0.6 Merchant Connection Kit. Test it successfully through their cgi pages Move all the CCMck...pm files, and MCkencrypt, MCDecryptpt, coputeMDHash, and merchant_conf files, that came with the cybercash merchant kit, into the minivend lib folder. Replace three of them with the ones linked to at http://minivendcybercash.homestead.com/index.html (they are updated by cybercash inc. to work with minivend). Be sure to remove the .txt extension. Look through all the files you have copied over, and change the path to the Encrypt, Decrypt and Hash to be the new locations in the minivend lib folder (ie: $MCKencrypt = "/usr/local/minivend/lib/MCKencrypt"; (Make sure these are really the locations of the files!!!) $MCKdecrypt = "/usr/local/minivend/lib/MCKdecrypt"; ). Make sure the location of the merchant_conf file is set correctly in your catalog.cfg file. Set your catalog.cfg file payment options like this: # This sets up the new payment charge mode in Interchange 4 # You set it to "custom name", where name is the name of a GlobalSub # that performs the charge operation. If it is not "custom", then # it will use the CyberCash routines. # # "minivend_test" is special, and the demo order profile # works with the demo order form to test # #Variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE minivend_test # Uncomment to use creditCardAuto if you want, now handled better in # order profiles with "&credit_card=standard". #CreditCardAuto Yes # These are usually all you need for CyberCash 3 # Uncomment and edit to suit; make sure you remove CreditCardAuto somehow # Variable CYBER_CONFIGFILE /<install-Dir>/interchange-4.5.5/lib/merchant_conf Variable CYBER_VERSION 3.2 Variable CYBER_MODE mauthonly #ifdef CYBER_MODE Variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE mauthonly CreditCardAuto No #endif # The old CyberCash stuff still should work, but use the above #CyberCash Yes This seems to be contrary to what the on-line reference material says! Remove all references to "&credit_card=standard" in your profiles.order file found in <catalog-home>/etc directory. For example comment out the two lines with a hashmark. [elsif variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE] #&credit_card=standard keep __CREDIT_CARDS_ACCEPTED__ &charge=[var MV_PAYMENT_MODE][cgi mv_payment_test] &set=mv_payment Real-time ([var MV_PAYMENT_MODE]) Credit Card [/elsif] [elsif config CyberCash] &fail=../special_pages/failed &charge=[var CYBER_MODE] #&credit_card=standard keep [/elsif] That should do it.

Basically I have a toggleImage function defined in the <head> section of ../catalogs/barry/config/logobar, and it needs to be called inside of an <A href=""> tag with onMouseOver="toggleImage(imgname,array_position)" ... & certainly it does work in a static html page. What I'm stumped by is how to add this to the definitions of each [area] item that is pulled into the menubar - while I can edit the URL field in the Area table and thereby replace the 'whatever' in 'href="whatever"' with a javascript function , I can't see how or where to add the onMouseOver="toggleImage()" & onMouseOut="toggleImage()" calls that I need to the [area] item. It can't be in the URL definition, external or otherwise, as that is evidently just parsed out to retrieve an X for href="X". Nor can it be added to the Image properties field (doesn't do anything).

I found in performance testing that my system would lock up under a light load (400 concurrent HTTP GET's or so) because "Could not Fork" errors. And `top` showed I never got much more than 510 processes running. I've been successful in creating a user (test), then setting it's performance limits (/etc/security/limits.conf), and ALSO setting /etc/pam.d/login with a "session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so". But when I perform the same steps for postgres, (I even tried making a /etc/pam.d/postgresql file) it doesn't have any effect. I've tried all the docs that I know, can anyone give me the magic combination to increase my 256 processes-per-user dilemma that applies to daemons? I know that Oracle avoids the problem all together and just has you run it's osh program (which is suid root) and that sets ulimits.

Kurt Seifried recently wrote a little blurb about PAM in SysAdmin, but it looks like you've already explored that area. It might help to keep plugging away at that, because it sure looks like a finer grained way to impose limits on processes. Of course, PAM can only control processes which are linked against libpam. Does postgres even call libpam anywhere? If it doesn't, maybe you can find a way to call it somewhere. The 256 processes per user sounds suspiciously like a 8 bit counter somewhere in kernel space. There has been effort to increase a whole bunch of Linux limits to make it more enterprise-ready, some of these things are available as patches against the 2.2 kernel series, but you might need to wait for the 2.4 series, unless you want to try a 2.3 kernel. Does it help to try and keep your connections to postgres "persistent"? Gord Matter Realisations http://www.materialisations.com/ Gordon Haverland, B.Sc. M.Eng.

This customer has all the address information, etc. When the user logs on the name doesn't appear, there aren't any orders showing up and there isn't any address information present. I can go in and manually fix the order in MySQL (delete the user, update username of U0000# to username, update username in transaction on all U0000# records).

I have a client who called me today, his customers can't checkout when using AOL. He logged in with AOL to verify, and when he hits the checkout button nothing happens, he just gets an error message. When he hits continue shopping he gets a different error. He then tried on some other computers using MSN dialup and another ISP and it works fine. I tried it from my house using the cable modem, no problem. Also tried AOL, and no problem. I can't reproduce the error, so I don't know where to start troubleshooting. I'm guessing (and this is totally a guess) that AOL's spider cached some bad data, and that since I'm accessing AOL via TCP/IP I'm hitting a different node, so different cache pool. Any idea how I can force AOL not to cache the bad data (if this is indeed the problem at all...)

Thanks! As regards ln -sf, no, I don't think so. I don't know an easy solution; a unix command that might help is: find __MVC_CATROOT__ -type l -maxdepth 1 | xargs rm; ln -s __MVC_IMAGEDIR__ __MVC_CATROOT__ but that is a bit of a mouthful and I am not sure of portability. Probably better is writing a little perl script: perl -e 'map { unlink $_ if -l $_ } glob "__MVC_IMAGEDIR__/*"'; \ ln -s __MVC_IMAGEDIR__ __MVC_CATROOT__ That will be pretty incomprehensible to people, but it would work.

Stop. make: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop. ---------------------------------------------------- Any suggestions / solutions ? Thanks art@brionet.com P.S. These are the only instructions available from my ISP. CGI-SCRIPTS: CGI scripts need to be saved in ASCII format and uploaded to your server's cgi-bin in ASCII or text format. This is very important. ISP does not provide free support for CGI scripts which did not come installed on your account. If you are not an expert, look for scripts that are very well documented and come with step-by-step instructions. HOW TO RUN YOUR OWN CGI PROGRAM a.) Put your CGI programs in the cgi-bin directory. When calling the programs from the web page, you must use the alias for the cgi-bin directory. The alias is "cgi-[yourdomain]". If your domain is example.com, then the alias is cgi-example. Note that ".com" is not included. So the action line from your form page would look like action="/cgi-example/program". b.) Put your CGI programs anywhere outside of the cgi-bin directory. In this case, the program name must end in ".cgi". PATHS TO DATE, MAIL, PERL, ETC. Here are your paths to the common server resources that CGI scripts often require: Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail Perl5: /usr/bin/perl Date: /bin/date Java: /usr/bin/java Python: /usr/bin/python Domain path: /www/[yourdomain] (puts you in your web directory) Cgi-bin path: /www/[yourdomain]/cgi-bin (puts you in your cgi-bin) From: jonc at webmaint.net (Jonathan Clark ) Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 19:10:44 +0100 Subject: [ic] Java Applets I have no problems. you need to use the codebase parameter: eg. <applet code="vsb.class" align="absbottom" width="121" height="200" codebase="/java/vsb/"> .. </applet> Jonathan. -----Original Message----- From: Desjardins, Ray <Desjardins.Ray@con-way.com> To: 'interchange-users@minivend.com' <interchange-users@minivend.com> Date: 15 September 2000 16:28 Subject: [ic] Java Applets >Anyone had luck with calling java applets from within minivend?

I'm new to UNIX, and although I've downloaded the installation files and almost completed the installation via telnet, I've hit a brick wall. Not really knowing what the program can REALLY do, I just want to install it and play around a while before making a final commitment.

It seems to work with "zip" or "ca_postcode" just fine. TIA From: bh at mail.yhti.net (Brett Harrison ) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 02:50:16 -0500 Subject: [ic] Re: (update) postcode - OrderProfile check type I hope this is not too far off topic :) but with the bug tracking database not yet functional on akopia's site, I just thought I'd share this here. Here is what I found on my problem with the postcode OrderProfile check type: in INSTALLARCHLIB/lib/Vend/Order.pm on line 1163 is the following code to perform the postcode checktype. sub _postcode { _zip(@_) or _ca_postcode(@_) and return (1, $_[1], ''); return (undef, $var, 'not a US or Canada postal/zip code'); } This was not returning an error no matter what. I'm not a hardcore perl hacker, but I believe this to be true because the list value that is returned by _zip() and _ca_postcode includes the error message which was being evaluated as true in _postcode(), thus causing it to return true all the time. Here is my replacement for _postcode() which seems to have solved this problem. sub _postcode { ((_zip(@_))[0] or (_ca_postcode(@_))[0]) and return (1, $_[1], ''); return (undef, $_[1], 'not a US or Canada postal/zip code'); } Also notice that I changed the "$var" to "$_[1]" so that on a real failure, it returns the correct name of the form variable that is being checked. If anyone has any better suggestions to keep posts of this type off the list, please pass them on to me. Thanks! and yes I think Interchange is very usable product!! and am looking forward to mastering it. >Is it just me or is the "postcode" check type not functioning correctly ?? >It seems to work with "zip" or "ca_postcode" just fine. > >TIA > > > >_______________________________________________ >Interchange-users mailing list >Interchange-users@www.minivend.com >http://www.minivend.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users > > From: murahashi at ayayu.com (Shozo Murahashi ) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 18:57:16 +0900 Subject: [ic] 8bit 2byte code support?

I was having problems with the [salestax] tag with Interchange 4.5.5. It always returned 0. I am using the es_ES locale, with the following settings in catalog.cfg: Locale es_ES Locale es_ES mon_decimal_point , Locale es_ES decimal_point , Locale es_ES mon_thousands_sep . Locale es_ES thousands_sep . Locale es_ES currency_symbol " Pts" Locale es_ES int_currency_symbol " Pts" Locale es_ES frac_digits 0 Locale es_ES p_cs_precedes 0 Salestax tax_code I have the following contents in the salestax.asc file: IVA .05 I use "[perl] $Values->{tax_code} = 'IVA'; return; [/perl]" in my pages, in order to set the correct value for the salestax tag. The problem was that with that locale in use, the "*" operator in PERL, didn't handle decimal operations right. It always discarded the decimal part of the operators. You need to use the comma notation for the decimal part. When I put IVA ,05 in the salestax.asc file, the [salestax] always returned 0, but this time because of the regexp of the line 5262 of Interpolate.pm: if($tax =~ /^-?(?:\d+(?:\.\d*)?|\.\d+)$/) { I've changed the regexp with: if($tax =~ /^-?(?:\d+(?:[\.\,]\d*)?|[\.\,]\d+)$/) { and now it works. I'm not sure that this is a reasonable fix for the problem, as probably there will be more places in the code where this handling of Locale will break things. Mike, and Akopia people, what do you think about it?

My OS is FreeBSD 3.1 and I'm using Perl 5.005_02. Things went fairly smoothly, but I could not log into the administrative interface because of a "password mismatch error". Since I was using the correct username and the default 'pass' word, I suspected that the failure was because that the encryption of the original text varied from the way my system did it. I proceeded to try to encrypt my own password the way that Minivend does using my systems native "crypt" system. I produced a new encrypted password like this: > cd ~mvend/lib > perl -e 'use Vend::Util; print crypt("pass",Vend::Util::random_string(2))."\n";' After pasting the result over the old password in access.txt, I was able to access the admin area with the username 'pass' as I expected. I recommend that Interchange creates the default encrypted passwords in a manner like this as part of the "makecat" process, rather than relying on the OS to have a compatible encryption system.

I assume since this is the third time I've asked this question and gotten no responce that this can't be done (outside of manually creating my own cookies). I think the biggest shortcomine of minivend/interchange is the documentation. While there are many pages of docs on the web, they are not presented in a way to bring a new users up to speed. The questions not answered in the docs are the "How do I ..." questions. There is no talk at all about how to create new catalogs types. There is no talk at all about how to create new color schemes for any of the existing catalog types. Maybe what is missing is just that the catalog types themselves need documentation. How are specific pages getting generated? What files are involved? What is a session and how can I take advantage of it? MML is a programming language. It's documentation should treat it as such. Currently what we have is a stripped down ANSI standard. What is needed is something to teach the new language. -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug@lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / Unix Hacker |_/ "It's too late for paradise" From: mikeh at minivend.com (Mike Heins ) Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 08:57:59 -0400 Subject: [ic] scratch variables in session (or: pointer to docs on sessions) Quoting Doug Alcorn (doug@lathi.net): > Doug Alcorn <doug@lathi.net> writes: > > > What I really want to do is have a form that sets an arbitrary > > variable and have this variable persist across that customer's > > session. > > I assume since this is the third time I've asked this question and > gotten no responce that this can't be done (outside of manually > creating my own cookies). > No, I think it is because it is prominently featured in the FAQ: http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=faq05%2e06 -- Akopia, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.8220 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> My wife is great.

You can see it at: http://demo.minivend.com/~akopia4/static.cgi/admin/index Log in as demo/demo and then go to: http://demo.minivend.com/~akopia4/static.cgi/admin/regenerate.html Highlight the pages you want to build (usually at least index, flypage and results) and press regenerate. If you check the "verbose" box you can follow the build. It improves upon Minivend's in several ways: 1. Search paging is persistent. 2. You can build an arbitrary page with multiple mv_arg values. 3. You can build in multiple passes with different entry points. -- Akopia, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.8220 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Light travels faster than sound.

I need to know what the basic requirements are for allowing random users to insert new records into a database table via an html form. Told you this was simplistic. Unfortunately I've found it difficult to extrapolate the answer to this from the mvdocs file and/or the example catalogs, in the first case because details are given for *updating* but not for *inserting* into a database, and in the latter because all the pages with forms for user submission of new db records (new_account, account...) simultaneously deal with both the external userdb & internal minivend tables in a confusing way. So before I go on to explain a bit about what I've tried, let me ask anybody that's read this far & knows the answer to spell this out for me in kindergarten terms. i.e.- "you must set mv_data_enable to 1, use [process-target] for the form action, etc". OK, so I have Interchange running a modified version of the barry demo (www.simplyhealing.net), w/ MySQL as the DBM, and I have created a new table called 'medical' for the test_barry database which is meant to hold information submitted via a form (www.simplyhealing.net/cgi-bin/barry/onlineform.html). The records are to be indexed by the client's [data session id], which is placed into the primary key for the new table, med_session. That part appears to work fine. I have included the directive [set mv_data_enable]1[/set] to the SCRATCH space. I use [process-target] for the form's action, and I define as <INPUT type=hidden> the following variables - mv_doit="set" mv_nextpage="formsuccess" mv_data_function="set" mv_data_table="medical" mv_data_key="med_session" mv_data_fields="comma-separated list of the names of all the fields in the table medical" I have files medical.txt & medical.sql in the .../catalogs/barry/products directory, and the permissions are the same as for all the other .txt/.sql pairs in that directory. I also have a medical.mysql file in the ../catalogs/barry/mysql directory which properly echos the structure of the medical table. The weird thing is I have on at least 3 occasions managed to successfully insert a new record into the table through this form, but it always fails after this to insert another record (& yes, I am refreshing the session_id so as to not attempt an insert w/ the same primary key). These failed attempts show no sign of failure to the user of course, but in the error.log I see entries like - /cgi-bin/barry/process.html Attempted database update without permission, table=medical key=AZEevAAF I cannot seem to isolate what conditions are changing between the successful & failed submissions, but one possibility that occurs to me is that, on the successful attempts, I may have logged in as the administrator & then as a test user account, and the mv_username variable is still set to 'interchange' (i.e.-admin). Another is that the successes only come after removing ../catalogs/barry/products/medical.sql & restarting minivend ... why they would then fail after an initial success, I don't know. Surely I am doing something painfully obvious & wrong, but damn if I can see precisely what. I would love to be enlightened on this score, & will be eternally grateful, etc. to anyone who can help me out w/ this.

I have left the code for the leftsite almost exactly the same. To my untrained eye, the links to my various categories is getting built with "[box-exec bar_link]area[/box-exec]" (where "box" is the prefix given in the [loop] tag). Again with my limited understanding, the actual link built is table driven from the area table. I think the table to be searched is in the 'tab' field and the selection criteria is set in the 'selector' field. What I would like to do is put additional selection criteria in that field. Specifically, I would like something like this: category=specific_category,addl_category=[scratch my_addl_category] I've tried this, and it doesn't work. It seems like my options are two: filter the matches out in the results page using and [if [scratch my_addl_category] eq [item-field addl_category]] tag; or to not use PREFIX-exec, loose the "dynamic" nature of table driven stuff and build my own links with a search profile and the [page] tag.

I would like to let a few CGI scripts execute right after the checkout, but before the receipt page appears. But I have no clue how to sort of "come back to InterChange" after I have given up control to a set of CGI scripts. I cannot simply start a POST in order to submit the checkout values back to InterChange, because InterChange has a very good security mechanism. I get an "Unauthorized for that session xyz..." error. Here is the important thing: Is there a way of executing external CGI scripts and then let the receipt page appear (or not)?

Here are some notes from that to help others who do this, and a question I didn't resolve: * The initial install was as easy as other Minivend upgrades I've done. In fact it seemed exactly the same. * Once I was able to access the new admin area, all of the sections appeared blank-- as if there was no data. Interchange reported no errors in the error logs about this. Investigation showed that an 'inactive' field was needed to be added to the 'userdb' table. I used a text editor and a spreadsheet to set this column to 0's for all the rows. * it appears that I needed to remove the top line from shipping.asc to be consistent with the new 'barry' sample store. * the transactions.txt file needed an extra column named 'archived'. Again I used a text editor and speadsheet to get this column filled with zeros. * it was useful to copy over the 'access.asc' and mv_metadata.asc files over from the 'barry' demo to get started. I added the 'access.asc' to my listing of Databases in catalog.cfg as well. * I believe I needed to add the lines relating to "UI" to my current minivend.cfg file. * There were probably some other details that I needed to do that I didn't get documented here. ---------------------- In converting the user-visible part of the store, there was one big hang-up that I could not get past.

I heard from Mike Heins that it was intended to be included as part of the Minivend/Interchange distro, but I don't see it there. Assume of the core of Minivend/Interchange hasn't changed much, I could probably qet it to work rather easily. It may not even need modification.

Within the perl code I need to access the same table that [import] works on later, so I open it in the perl tag like this: [perl tables="tenants"] ...blah blah blah...

Hello, I'm setting up a shop with Interchange 4.5.5, and I have a question about how to set up many-to-many relationships between entities. Specifically, I'd like to add a product to multiple categories. The admin "item add" interface makes it appear that this is possible, because I can select multiple categories in the menu, however, only one category appears to be represented in the MySQL database and tied to the product. It's also not clear how this would be supported in the current data model. How's how I usually data model this myself, and is in fact how the clients information is already stored: create table products ( product_id int primary_key, --other attributes here ); create table cat ( cat_id int primary_key, -other attributes here ); create table products_cat_map ( product_id int, cat_id int, ); when I want to add a product to multiple categories, a make a single entry in the products table, and entries in the products_cat_map table for each category I'm adding products to. Considering I'd like to use this standard data model scheme, how can I use minivend to select all the products in a category, or modify the admin area to support such a scheme. I've already built a similar admin interface in Perl/SQL, I'm just not sure how to make the data model work with Interchange. Perhaps all that is needed is some more documentation on how the flex editor and metadata works.

Should I just do the good old ./configure :) I think it's safe to backup your ~mvend directory and then try the install as usual (following the quickstart instructions). You shouldn't need worry so much about your stores, since they are directly affected by the upgrade. In the worst case scenerio, you restore your old ~mvend directory and start using it again (which is what I ended up doing, sucessfully. :) Good luck! -mark personal website } Summersault Website Development http://mark.stosberg.com/ { http://www.summersault.com/ From: beriah at webuildpcs.com (Beriah Dutcher ) Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2000 16:47:38 -0500 Subject: [ic] Buggy Install??

I'm in the process to patching IC UI to support that. My scheme is to insert links on the item edit page like "Add related item to products_cat_map" resp. "Related items in products_cat_map" Before the last large CVS UI update this worked fine.

Not that I want to hurt people by commenting on their work, but because they really asked for comments on the documentation. What I think is needed most for new users is just a very basic "quick interchange introduction". so for example: -a brief explanation of the fact that interchange relies on a server that creates html-pages on-the-fly. -You can adjust this page-creation and all kinds of database-operations by the interchange-tags, but they aren't in the actual html-pages. They're needed to build the pages. -interchange uses a cgi-script that points to the pages. So their aren't any pages in the cgi-bin, pages are in /pages/ -and most importent: a detailed description of the code of a few pages: eg. the index.html, lefside, and a few other. Of course not all of the pages. I think it will help new users more to look at a few pages, their code and the explanation of what's happening than reading throughout the whole all-covering tag reference: what does the ui_template there, this [area] tag is used here for...., this is an image from the /thums/ dir etc. -..... I know all these things are fully covered in the reference guide, but if you don't know any of the above, it's hard to distinguish between important things and "nice add-ons".

Interchange has a lot of advantages compared to Openshop, Intershop and the like. But there are a couple disadvantages as well. One of them is the documentation. But as soon as you have completed one of the more complicated shops out there, you will understand almost everything. And you will like it ... I think the documentation should be written/improved by Interchange users, not by its developers. Markus On Fri, 22 Sep 2000, you wrote: Hello, After reading most of the documentation I could find about interchange, I would like to give a few personal remarks. Not that I want to hurt people by commenting on their work, but because they really asked for comments on the documentation. What I think is needed most for new users is just a very basic "quick interchange introduction". so for example: -a brief explanation of the fact that interchange relies on a server that creates html-pages on-the-fly. -You can adjust this page-creation and all kinds of database-operations by the interchange-tags, but they aren't in the actual html-pages. They're needed to build the pages. -interchange uses a cgi-script that points to the pages. So their aren't any pages in the cgi-bin, pages are in /pages/ -and most importent: a detailed description of the code of a few pages: eg. the index.html, lefside, and a few other. Of course not all of the pages. I think it will help new users more to look at a few pages, their code and the explanation of what's happening than reading throughout the whole all-covering tag reference: what does the ui_template there, this [area] tag is used here for...., this is an image from the /thums/ dir etc. -..... I know all these things are fully covered in the reference guide, but if you don't know any of the above, it's hard to distinguish between important things and "nice add-ons". Am I right or just writing a lot of qlksjfghfhgq ? kind regards, Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg (Sonny) Cook <sonny@akopia.com> To: <minivend-users@minivend.com> Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 9:30 PM Subject: [mv] minivend--interchange documentation > ****** message to minivend-users from "Greg (Sonny) Cook" <sonny@akopia.com> ****** > Hi all, > By way of introduction, I am one of the developers at Akopia.

Additionally, stating a prerequisite minimum system configuration and skill set clearly in the download pages as well as at the beginning of the documents might give people a better picture that MV and IC are not shrink-wrapped Windozes programs, but that experience and elbow-grease is recommended...

That's exactly the plan -- that someone at Akopia will go through the user-added annotations every couple of months, or maybe before a new release, and incorporate the most useful additions into the main docs.

We will use that as input as we set up the roadmap for 4.8 and 5.0 (4.6 is relatively set at this point).

Removing the &CreditCard lines from the default profiles.order, all the correct information is sent, however it kicks back to the checkout page with an error that the order.id was already completed. It does not go to the failed page OR the receipt page. This is using the default checkout.html, profiles.order (except as noted above) and the default orders.pm file in IC. Turning on a high level of logging for CyberCash shows that the order is submitted and is returned as successful and then it is submitted again with the same order.id which of course fails. This happens when the submit order button is clicked only once. Anyone else seen this behavior, have a fix, ideas? I've been pulling my hair out on this one for a couple of days now.

The [checked] tag is useful for re-checking boxes according to a form value. For example: when the visitor is returned to a confirmation page before final submission. To retrieve all the values that may be in an array, you need to use [value_extended] - which by default separates the values with a space. But does anyone know what the native separator is? What I've done is to use [value_extended] to store the space-delimited selections in a database field. Now I want to implement an "edit this record" screen that recycles the original "enter a new record" form. I've written a perl script that goes through all the columns in the database and sets $Values before the form is displayed. Everything works great except for the set of checkboxes. The array pulled out of the database is separated with spaces, which seems to faze the [checked] tag. I'm guessing that I can get around this if I simply convert the space-delimited array back into the format that [checked] (or even [selected]) uses, but I don't know how. Any ideas?

You can split and join them in Perl with something like this: my @checkboxes = split /\0/, $Values->{checkboxname}; $Values->{checkboxname} = join '\0', @checkboxes; or, to store the value(s) in your db you can do this: my $checkboxfield = $Values->{checkboxname}; $checkboxfield =~ s/\0+/ /g; if you're sure none of the box values has a space in it, or, my preference: $checkboxfield =~ s/\0+/|/g; Then to put it back on the page after reading from the db, either: ($Values->{checkboxname} = $checkboxfield) =~ s/\|/\0/g; or ($Values->{checkboxname} = $checkboxfield) =~ s/ /\0/g; depending on which seperator you used. -Bill From: epaul at spellbook.net (Eric Paul ) Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 19:11:10 -0400 Subject: [ic] CyberCash authorization submitted twice Either downgrade to MCK-3.2.0.4 or get the fixes for 3.2.0.6 off homestead.

The idea is, that certain items can be handled in a special way if certain conditions are met. I have created a second basket (say xcart) and have items in it. I use the same code as for the main cart (which is working faultlessly), except the [cart xcart] directive and the [item-list xcart] to display the items. I changed the mv_orderpage to the xbasket page. The subtotal is calculated using [item-price noformat=1]*[item-quantity]. As I try to either delete the item or change its quantity using the code that works in the main basket page, i.e. [cart xcart] [item-list xcart] .. <input type=hodden mv_doit value="refresh"> .. <input type=text name="[quantity-name]" value="[item-quantity]"> .. [/item-list] <input type=submit onClick="this.form.action='[process-target]'" name=mv_submit value="Recalculate"> the quantity is not updated, but remains always 1. The html source shows "quantity0" for [quantity-name] and value=1. There are no errors reported in error_log. Can anyone tell me, what I may be missing?

I want to remove the items from the basket with a normal URL (link) and not with an input tag (the same codes as the basket page of the simple demo shop has). With MiniVend 4.04, I can remove the quantity, but the removed items are still showing in the basket with quantity=0 and I've to add some codes into the basket page to hidden the items with an empty quantity. With Interchange 4.5, the same remove codes has no effect. I have add some codes in Order.pm to log some informations into the error.log file and I see the value of $qty is ´´ or ´0´ (depend, which codes I'm using to try to remove the item) and it seems to me, the function "toss_cart" is not working well in the Cart.pm module. Removing all items from the basket with [item-list] [quantity-name]=0 [/item-list] into my [area ...] tag works well. But i get an "No interact error.." (I don't know the exact phrase from my head.), if I try to remove the first items with [quantity-name]=0 (the first [quantity-name] like quantity0). Quantity1=0 and so on has no effect. It seems to me, MV/IC is looking for the numeric value of "0" and remove the item from the basket. But, in some case, the value of the quantity is set to "0" as a character and not numeric and MV/IC can't recognize, that this item is to remove from the basket. I apologize to disturb this list, if the above behavior is not real or right. But I'm in a process to create a shop for a new project as soon as possible and I get the problem to remove the item from the basket since last friday. I hope, I get any hints, helps or suggestions.

This is not a misbehavior. It is behaving just as it is supposed to. Why don't you try this: [set empty_basket] [calc] @{$Carts->{$CGI->{mv_cartname} || 'main'}} = (); return; [/calc] [/set] <A HREF="[area href=ord/basket form=' mv_action=return mv_click=empty_basket ']">Empty basket</A> This indirectly gives the answer to the other question -- you have to set the cartname in the form. You could also build a URL which does it explicitly, <A HREF="[area href=ord/basket form=' mv_action=refresh [item-list][quantity-name]=0 [/item-list] ']">Empty basket</A> Interaction errors happen when you don't provide an action, just as the error page says. -- Akopia, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.8220 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> My wife is great.

So I decided to move my catalog to IC 4.5.5, however, the problems have become bigger! Now, the [order item othercart/otherbasket] directive does not work. The URL does not change, when I add "othercart/otherbasket" to the existing [order item] directive, i.e. IC still displays the ord/basket page. The same applies to the barry demo: After I add "multi/newbasket" to [order [item-code]], IC will still display the "multi/basket" page. Has the [order item cart/basket] directive been removed? I have also tried to use <A HREF="[area href=ord/newbasket form=' mv_doit=refresh mv_order_item=[item-code] mv_order_quantity=10 mv_cartname=newcart ']">Order!</A> Now, the ord/newbasket page is displayed, but the cart has no contents.

Text editor of choice for such tasks? Depends on the operating system I happen to be using at the moment. Think of your pages as 5 pieces; head, foot, left, right & main area. You can then further split each section as desired. Look at the code and write your alterations accordingly. If I am altering the leftside I name my orig file leftside.orig and leave it on the server. This makes it easy to revert to my last leftside should I need it. You can always revert back to a virgin leftside by cp from the install base directory. Something that helps when my head gets clouded trying to mentally keep track with what I am doing is to sketch the layout on a piece of paper split into the blocks I will be building along with sub blocks.

Hi all, I'm currently playing around with the latest Interchange relaease. I have been trying to adjust the databases to my needs but I keep having difficulties with that. In my shop I would like to sell products of eight different manufacturers. Each of the manufacturers has it's own products database. The problems that I'm not able to load the data from a .txt file into a mysql db. What I have done so far is the following: 1) deleted the products.txt file from /catroot/products/. 2) deleted the products.mysql file from /catroot/dbconf/mysql/. 3) deleted all the .sql files from /catroot/products/. 4) create .txt files for each of the manufacturers products files.(Very basic ones -> sku, description, price, category) 5) create .mysql files for each of the manufacturers products files. (Same layout as above.) 6) restart interchange. After restarting the interchange server the first database (userdb in this case) is created end filled. The the first of the manufacturers databases is created, but not filled. I keep getting this error: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1. error in configuration. Skipping.

My directory structur is for example /home/interchange/<and-all-stuff-of-the-interchange> (the Vendroot) /www/mydomain.com/cgi-bin /www/mydomain.com/html /www/mydomain.com/html/myshop /www/mydomain.com/html/myshop/images /www/mydomain.com/minivend3/catalogs (the old MV Version 3 stuff) /www/mydomain.com/minivend4/catalogs (the old MV Version 4 stuff) /www/mydomain.com/interchange/catalogs (the new Interchange stuff) I get an error message by makecat (or Makecat.pm) because, makecat is trying to copy the ui images stuff into the directory xyz. I've tried Variable __SHAREDIR__ /www/mydomain.com/ui or Variable __MVC_SHAREDIR__ /www/mydomain.com/ui with no effect. Another misbehavior is the userid. Makcat can't recognize the user and can't set "$mvuid" right. After adding a line like $mvuid = my-interchange-name or $mvuid = 1002 (this is my gid number) makecat works. Why can't makecat get the username correct? As an non-english-speaking german boy, my effort is to understand the english written text once and once more and I read the english written text once and once more again (I'm still learning English.). Makecat tell me, where is the image to install and I've tell makecat the whole path and _not_ the URL of this images. But I read another text in catalog.cfg (the construct store) and it is using the variable __IMAGE_URL__. And the IMAGE_URL is set with __IMAGE_DIR__. In this case, I can't use my old cfg file for the newest Interchange. I think URL is a URL is a URL and DIR is a DIR is a DIR. Am I wrong? I would prefer to get a right informations and I would prefer, there is a backward compatibility with the old cfg files of the old MiniVend! I will be happy, if someone can explain me that and make my head clear. Thanks!

The only way for me was to use the search&replace function to replace all carriage return with "<BR>". But I'm looking for another and better solution.

We encourage all current Interchange, Minivend, and Tallyman users to download and evaluate this latest release, and contribute their feedback, bug reports, and general feelings about it as soon as they can. The major new additions are in the administrative user interface, and the majority of the back-end functionality remains relatively unchanged from Minivend 4. Therefore, existing Minivend users should be able to upgrade to the beta without fear, since the most likely place that "beta" quirks will appear is in the administration. A fairly complete list of changes appears at the end of this message. We strongly encourage anyone using Interchange to subscribe to the interchange-users mailing list and there post your feedback and bug reports. List information is at: http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users Download links for the standard tar.gz distribution as well as the RPM package are at: http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/download.html Please note that the RPM version must be invoked and restarted differently than the normal version. See README.rpm for details. See http://developer.akopia.com/ for a live demo, the latest news, and online documentation users can contribute to. We look forward to your comments! The Akopia Team ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interchange-4.5.6 changes -- complete overhaul of UI * Everything renamed to "interchange". interchange.cfg, interchange.pid, etc. If you keep minivend.cfg as the configuration file, the PID file will be minivend.pid. There should be a good level of backward compatibility. * "construct" is now the default demo -- a "foundation" demo will be added later. -- Improved graphics and layout over older demos. -- Split ship addresses for items -- Shipping notices integrated -- Recurring order facility (doesn't yet work). -- PO with credit limit -- Merchandising cross-sells by category or item. -- "Others who bought this" The HTML rendering is kind of slow on Netscape, any help with that would be appreciated. * The user interface (UI) was reorganized to make it easier to understand and use. -- All functions should now be available via menu, quicklinks should not be necessary. -- Most database table lists are HTML lists with links instead of the button approach. -- Administration console with information helpful for debug. UI: * Orders -- list-based -- shipping status notices -- automatic check of archive box when status=shipped -- list-based delete and archive operations -- lists are sortable on multiple fields -- status display for individual line items -- change size of list with Knar UI_SZ_LIST_ORDER * Customers -- list-based -- list-based delete and deactivate operations -- lists are sortable on multiple fields -- status display for individual line items -- change size of list with Knar UI_SZ_LIST_CUSTOMER * Item editor -- Select list of items to delete or edit in sequence -- Now have different "views" for merchandising, pricing, inventory, etc. -- checkbox-based deletes -- item fields to display set with UI_ITEM_FIELDS -- separator fields set with UI_ITEM_BREAK -- cross_category field added to merchandising table * Content -- Templates easier to create -- Editor allows change of template * Layout -- button builder does on-the-fly items -- fixed bugs in search builder * Merchandising -- new menu, includes affiliate stuff * Reporting -- Fixed cast problem with PostGres reports -- More consistent look/feel for reports * Administration -- New information screen that should help with diagnosing trouble -- Table select/edit now consistent with other editors -- Selector rows can be sorted via column, forward and reverse -- Table display properties can be easily edited Core: * Database update forms (mv_todo=set) now can set fields in multiple tables when there is a common key. * Changed SpecialPage defaults for "search", "order", and "checkout" to reflect longstanding defaults in demo catalogs. * Fixed bug in fixed-field (PriceField) pricing, introduced sometime in Minivend 4. * Added GUESS_NUMERIC parameter to databases, which operates by checking field types in SQL and by looking at the import data on DBM. You can see this in operation in the UPS tables "Ground", etc. * Removed auto-index of key field if POSTCREATE statement exists. * Added some more better auto-numbering support. Still not ready for the UI. * Found bug in Vend::Table::DBI->inc_field that caused a quoted value when really was a number. * CSV imports now are fully as functional as others, can do indexing, numeric guess, etc. * Added "value" widget type for [accessories ...]. * Added [tmp var]scratch setting[/tmp] and [scratchd var] tags to purge Scratch when setting/accessing variables. This can improve session write speed if setting a large value which will only be used in the current page. * Added "tabbed" filter, and some other Filters. Now you can add your own filters persistently with: Sub <<EOS sub somesub { $Filter{foo_to_bar} = sub { my $value = shift; $value =~ s/foo/bar/g; return $value; }; } EOS or just in the current page [perl] $Filter{foo_to_bar_tmp} = sub { my $value = shift; $value =~ s/foo/bar/g; return $value; }; return; [/perl] Thanks to Stefan Hornburg for suggestion. * Fixed SpecialPage handling of salestax.asc, thanks to Jeff Carnahan. * Fixed _postcode() routine in Order.pm, thanks to Brett Harrison. * Fixed longstanding problem with demo catalog whereby the UserDB defined the username field as "user" but it was actually named "username" in the database. Changed UserDB default to "username", because "user" is a reserved word in some SQL databases (i.e. Postgres). * UserDB: Removed mv_credit_card_info from B_FIELDS so that it would not be saved in UserDB. * Added [counter ...] tag, with some additional capabilities over the old [fcounter ...] tag. Kept fcounter around in UserTag for compatibility with older catalogs. * Added image copying for shared image directories (the admin).

Ray From: steveandpatti at wubs.org (Steve & Patti Getzinger ) Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 08:14:23 -0500 Subject: [ic] Interchange 4.5.6 beta released I have a request for future releases of the rpm files. It ate all the original catalogs. Did a fine job too I might add :) Now this was on my personal test machine so no big deal but if it behaves this way on our server ... In the old days :) an upgrade left everything (catalog wise) in place and brought it into the new .cfg file. Can there be a command line option added to the rpm that allows this? Maybe rpm -Uvhleavemyoldcatalogsalone interchangexxxxx.rpm :) I am also getting the feeling that a rpm -ivh would have failed to install side by side in the event I wished to run more than one copy as I am now. I use MV 4.03 & 3.14 on our server. Which I might add as long as I am at it. rpm -ivh interchange_anything.rpm or rpm -Uvh interchange_anything.rpm won't go if you have MV 4.x installed. OR should I just hang up rpm and use the good old ./configure?

Thanks for a great app. Greg Cope From: chc at mninter.net (Curt Hauge ) Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 10:37:15 -0400 Subject: [ic] pages subdivisions Hello, I have used Fireworks by Macromedia to get the initial look of the page. In Fireworks you design the page as one large image. You then "slice" the image into the different "sections" (ie., menubar, leftside, etc.) and export the image and select the nested or single table setup (you may have to play around with it, as I did, to determine the best setup). Also select Dreamweaver as the "style" when exporting. Make SURE you export into an empty file folder or it gets real messy! Once exported, you can open the html page created in Dreamweaver and edit it. After editing, open the html in notepad and "separate" the different sections. I then added the MV tags and such by hand, in notepad. It is entirely posssible to do most of this in Dreamweaver, as well, however I have not reached that level yet. There is a learning curve involved, and I recommend the Fireworks 3 Quickstart Guide by Sandy Cohen, but I now use and recommend Fireworks regularly. You can view my latest site here www.tgisdances.com. Good luck!

I was wondering what html editor you used to build up the pages in the examples since if you work on any of them in an html editor like dreamweaver and similar they get all messed up because there are tables opened in the file with the top part and closed in another file with the bottom part. What method did the implementors used ? Have they done a single page and then splitted it up into several pieces or what ? Anybody has got any ideas ?

This is a rpm install on Red Hat 6.2. When installed the demo site (construct) has all bad links. When checking the catalog.cfg file it wrote the server name but not the domain. So if your server is bob.my.com all you get in the catalog.cfg file is bob What did it take to make my MV 4.03 site run? cp the entire catalog of my running sites to a safe space. Forget vlink it's worthless. remove the MV install and install Interchange now cp your catalogs in the main area of interchange. In my case it is /usr/lib/interchange Pay attention here as you don't want to overwrite any of the Interchange files. Now do a makecat and call your cat name instead of construct. Restart server /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange restart and you should have a running site. What do you say something doesn't work? You absolute linked go through and fix or rewrite to relative. Now a wierd (at least by my definition :) ) I lost 3 sites that were running on the 3.14 server. Figure that one out :) They were all demos I had been doing so not that big a deal. The 2 sites I have that are actual sites survived. I have no clue what went on there but am digging into it. Perhaps since the other two sites have their own ip / domain name they were left alone during the uninstall. They have the same structure as the 3 that got demolished.

You just cant upload images via ftp and expect IC to know they are there. IC reads the databases to find out where everything is located. Uploading through IC then IC knows to put a reference in the database regarding the upload. That is why IC and its new UI are soooo powerfull and kewl, you dont need to learn all that database suff if you "really" dont want too. Its like a WYSIWYG editor.

I'm trying to install Interchange-4.5.5, and am encountering problems with the 'make test' portion. It's obviously a permissions problem, but I can't figure out which file I'm having the permissions problem with. I have done a 'chown -R minivend:minivend *' for the whole installation directory, and I configured interchange to use the minivend userid. I switched user (su) to the minivend userid for the test. Per some instructions from the list archives, I removed the minivend.pid file from blib/etc between test runs. I still can't seem to get the test to succeed. As a desperate, last-ditch measure, I even tried to set up minivend-4.04a in a different directory, and it got the exact same results. If anybody has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate hearing them. If you could even just point me to a list of files that are likely culprits, I'd be grateful. I'm running this on perl 5.6.0 on an HP9000 running HP-UX 10.20. The 'perl Makefile.PL' went fine, and the 'make' ran without a complaint. I just get the results below when I issue the 'make test' command.

We're currently working on a template called 'foundation' that will be very simple, and light on graphics and funky HTML. It's intended to be an easy base from which to build your own store, rather than a showcase for features and functionality like 'construct' or 'barry'. It should appear in CVS not too far in the future.

On a different project (using zope) I've used MySQL successfully to handle Japanese encodings. I imagine your pains will be similar to mine and your first problem will be making sure the MySQL is working fine. In particular, you need to make sure that MySQL is compiled to handle your big5 encoding. The very latest version of MySQL (still in beta?) allows you to do this on the fly. On the other versions you have to compile the support in. Apologies if this is stuff you already know. I don't know much about the Chinese encodings but in Japanese there are a number you can select from. I had big problems with one of the standard (developed by MS) but found another encoding which seems a lot more workable. I'm about to setup interchange (start next week) for an English/Japanese/French site using Postgres as a backend.

I installed the new demo, construct and all works fine. The problem is when I add any of the 4.5.5 catalogs to the 4.5.6 interchange.cfg file. I restart the 4.5.6 version, and the logs show that all of the catalogs have been configured. But, when I browse to any of the catalogs just added, I get the following message: We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable... We are out of service or may be experiencing high system demand, please try again soon. Is there some other place that I need to "register" the catalog with the new version?

With the current code you can build malls with a very low memory footprint, quite independent from the number of stores, if they share the same products.

We have built a few of these, and this was to be the sum of the experience. It never really got off of the ground -- I had too many other things to do. 8-\ What I have learned in building a few of these is that the mall concept is as much defined by the payment process as anything.

Mike, I'm interested in this. Especicically being able to server multiple catalogues ( yet different domains / owners etc..), and yet have a single themed "mall" with a selection of products (along said theme eg. golfing stuff) from different catalogues. Would your model allow this ? Also If someone were to buy 2 products from different catelogues can the orders be split to the relevant catelogue owners (the above appears to imply this) ? Given that the payment /delivery scheme is fixed (I was thinking of just and order system - where all orders are forwarded - i.e no online payment - as this is where the differences start) This should be possible. Is mvmall going anywhere ? Could it go somewhere given enough interest ? Thanks for your time.

Mike, I'm interested in this. Especicically being able to server multiple catalogues ( yet different domains / owners etc..), and yet have a single themed "mall" with a selection of products (along said theme eg. golfing stuff) from different catalogues. Would your model allow this ? Also If someone were to buy 2 products from different catelogues can the orders be split to the relevant catelogue owners (the above appears to imply this) ? Given that the payment /delivery scheme is fixed (I was thinking of just and order system - where all orders are forwarded - i.e no online payment - as this is where the differences start) This should be possible. Is mvmall going anywhere ? Could it go somewhere given enough interest ? Thanks for your time.

It will work if you give the parameters correctly, and if you honor database opening requirements. (Like tagging write and running with the HOT parameter if needed.)

I have done a couple "malls" in the past and am wondering why the concept of same shipping and orders. When I started I tried to pattern after real life. In real life all the mall does is provide service for the store owners. Each store maintains it's own cash register systems. As to "golf" themes build it. Here is a basic outline of what I used and if it sounds outrageous it works :) All I have done have been on 3.14 or below. The main mall catalog holds info about the "themes" and stores. Each "theme" holds info about the stores in that "theme". Each store holds info about itself. ProductFiles of the main mall holds the paths to the products files of every store. This allows product searching from the main mall area of all products in the mall. "Theme" ProductFiles holds the paths to all the products files of all the stores in that "theme". No need for shipping or tax or quantity or ... in main mall or theme areas as they do none of these things. Yes I can not buy something from store A and B and have it on the same order form but I found to many variables involved to make that happen well and that is not the way it is at the mall down the street :) I got as far as since many of the stores were in the same zip I started defining a central zone file (saved server space) As I got a new store (zone) I downloaded the ups file and put it in the main mall area. Now when a new store came on board in the same zone just delete the files from that stores catalog and point to the correct file in the main mall area.

The problem with using separate product files is that the mall is not scalable to thousands of stores, or not even to a busy hundred-store mall. The overhead gets to be too much. This type of thing is very scalable, though: interchange.cfg: GlobalSub <<EOR sub mall { if($CGI->{store_reset}) { delete $Session->{store_id}; } unless($Session->{store_id}) { my $url = $Session->{last_url}; $url =~ s:^/([-\w]+)::; $Session->{store_id} = $1; $CGI->{mv_nextpage} = 'dir'; } my $id = $Session->{store_id}; my $ref = $Db{store}->row_hash($id); if(! $ref) { $id = $Session->{store_id} = 'default'; $ref = $Db{store}->row_hash($id); } if($ref->{price_level} =~ /([a-z])/) { $Config->{PriceField} .= "_$1"; } @defs = split /\s+/, $::Variable->{LOOK_DEFS}; for(qw/__LOOK_DEFS__/) { Log("$_ points to " . $ref->{lc $_}); $Variable->{$_} = $ref->{lc $_} || $Variable->{"DEFAULT_$_"}; } } EOR catalog.cfg: Variable LOOK_DEFS BGCOLOR HEADER FOOTER ALINK ETC ETC Autoload mall AT that point, the admin interface is pretty easy. You just set owner_field permissions for the products table in the access.asc files, give insert permission, and the owner can maintain their own products and possibly even their own setup in the store database via the UI.

It looks like GDBM.pm is trying to create the database? Or is it just trying to modify an existing database? I know it is not a disk space issue. So it must be permissions. As everything else installed correctly, I am confused as to why this has not. Can you tell me where GDBM.pm needs to write to? What is/are the default databases for barry that Interchange wants to work with? If I know this, perhaps I can manually change the permissions and check the databases. Similarly, how would I go about checking to see if there was a GDBM/Perl build problem? Thanks for such an incredible shopping cart system!

As a new comer to Minivend/Interchange, I seek guidance on installation = and perl modules. During my second attempt at installing interchange ( 4.5.5 ), It = required additional modules to be installed. Since I'm trying to setup = Interchange in my webspace hosted by another company, I hit the block of = 'No Permission' or Permission Denied'. These additional module are being = installed where perl is loacate on my ISP server. What I would like to ask to all those in the know is:- Question 1 : How many interchange installation files would have to be = physically modified, so that any requested perl modules are installed in = the home directory or a directory of my choice, and not directed to the = perl installation of my ISP.? Question 2 : Which files require modification to fulfil the above needs, = and how ? This is my only obstacle with the installation, if I can overcome this = then I should be in better position to install and configure = interchange and get a site developed. Thanks to all in advance.
