Yes, and thank you for pointing it out. There is always a risk when you display user data that gets put directly in a database. In this case, the problem was supposed to be prevented by: @scrub = split /[\s,\0]+/, $CGI->{mv_data_fields}; for( @scrub ) { $CGI->{$_} =~ s/\[/[/g; } Recently one of our people used the UI page editor to edit the page and it became after the entities were translated on the way in: for( @scrub ) { $CGI->{$_} =~ s/\[/[/g; } Oops. The UI page editor is a no-no right now for embedded Perl because of this -- I will see if I can figure out a way to deal with this in the future. One thing that comes to mind is a directive like NoSearch which specifies tables which should be allowed to contain square brackets (things that might contain JavaScript, etc.) All others would not be allowed to have them. Then you filter the resulting data on output. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Function in chaos, finish in style. -- Unknown From: rphipps at reliant-solutions.com (Ron Phipps ) Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:26:36 -0800 Subject: [ic] Clear shopping cart?

But it will definitely pass you the ammo to shoot yourself in the foot, as will any templating system that has power. So you have to be careful, as you do in any scripting environment. Most of the protections have to do with: * Tags like [cgi foo], [data ...] and such are not reparsed for tags. (The only non-container tags that are * The [value foo] tag never allows a left square bracket to be output. * Safe is used for Perl, which means that arbitrary perl code which reads/writes or uses IO is not possible. * The Interchange files don't need to be readable or writable by any other user ID, so CGI/PHP programs run by the web server can't get at them. * Dangerous operations are allowed only via global UserTag, and not by catalog UserTag. But there are ways that user-entered data could end up getting parsed for tags. The most common breach is to take possibly tainted user data entered into a form and put it in a database without filtering it first. There are several ways to do that: 1. For user-entered form fields like name, address, etc you should always use the [value ...] tag to display them. 2. You can filter lists of variables automatically with Filter name textarea_put Filter address textarea_put Filter comments textarea_put Filter email textarea_put in catalog.cfg. 3. You can prevent problems in some cases by using the data tag (i.e. [data table=foo col=bar key="[item-param something]"]) which is not reparsed for tags as [item-data ....] is. This is not foolproof unless you control the key in some fashion -- in most cases, you will use [data session username] or something you control. 4. You should never put user-entered data directly in a Scratch variable, which can be called with mv_click and mv_check. 5. Process all user-entered data before putting it in a database that could be displayed in a page later. Or process it before it is displayed. 6. When putting data inside a container tag, the output of which is reparsed for more tags by default, consider setting reparse=0. There are other ways to nail down your system and make it more difficult to have a security problem. * Use the WRITE_CONTROL database settings. Database products WRITE_CONTROL 1 It is the default for MV DBM databases (i.e. you have to have a [flag type=write table=foo] to write) but not for SQL. The UI does the proper write flagging, so this should have no effect on it. AUTHORS NOTE: I should have made WRITE_CONTROL the default for SQL in MV4, my bad. As long as MV3 compatibility was as poor as it turned out to be, I should have gone for it. * Set "NoAbsolute Yes" in interchange.cfg, it prevents [file /some/dir] or [include /some/rogue/file] from being used. NOTE: This is the default starting in IC 4.7.x. * Split the admin server onto a different IC iteration from your production catalog, and disable the UI for the production catalog. That allows you to set the pages/ directory to be read-only for the production server, and to put WRITE_CONTROL in the production catalog_after.cfg or etc/<catalog id>.after file. You could also use a different username to access the SQL data, and make the production server username have read-only access. You can use a different UID for the admin server iteration, and make all directories except products/, upload/, tmp/, session/, and logs/ read-only for the production server UID. * Make as much stuff read-only as you can. Develop a script which sets things read-write while you are admin-ing, and read-only otherwise. * Always make ICDIR/*.cfg, ICDIR/bin/*, and ICDIR/lib/* read-only for the IC user. * Don't let the interchange daemon user ID have read or write permission on things it doesn't need. * Never use AllowGlobal in production if you have user-entered data going into a database. (AllowGlobal is not the default, so many people won't know what it is -- see Interchange Configuration.) Things that are in the works for 4.8 to improve security are: * Better default security settings in the demo. * Better permissions settings in the UI. * Optional filtering for tables, with explicit override to allow [ in certain situations. * bin/set_permissions script to audit (and optionally fix) permission loopholes. * New global config paramter: ReadOnlyConfig Yes If the IC daemon has write permission on any file that it reads for global config, or for any executable module, it refuses to use it. * New [table-editor] tag which allows you to do secure entry forms without having to worry about every byte. All in all, Interchange has been proven to be securable over time. But we all have to do our part and think about what we are doing with user-entered data. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Experience is what allows you to recognize a mistake the second time you make it. -- unknown From: ramoore at axion-it.net (Randy Moore ) Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2001 02:00:27 -0500 Subject: [ic] MIME header confusion for some mail clients (Eudora/PINE) I've been digging into the much discussed problem of MIME headers for order reports (etc/report) from the demo for certain mail clients. In my case, it is Eudora but some PINE users have seen the same problem. Basically what seems to happen is that with the default 'etc/report' setup, we only see the MIME block for the credit card number. Our mail clients hide the entire order_text section. I've figured out that this is due to the Content-Type header at the top of the email message (not the ones included with each MIME block). This first Content-Type header is always: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; BOUNDARY ....... But my understanding is that this tells the mail client to pick whichever of the following content type options it can best display (I could easily be wrong with this interpretation BTW). So, I looked for a way to change this header to Content-Type: multipart/mixed; BOUNDARY ...... Which (I believe) lets the mail client treat each MIME block separately. In the "sub mime" code in Interpolate.pm, I found that there is an option called "attach_only", which if set would change the Content-Type appropriately. After much experimenting, I realized that setting the "attach_only" option in my [tag op=mime] tags in 'etc/report' will not help because some other call to the 'sub mime' subroutine is setting this first MIME tag. I found it in Order.pm, at line 1877: $mime = Vend::Interpolate::mime('header', {}, '') if $use_mime; But from this there is no run-time way of setting the "attach_only" option. I can (and did) change this line to: $mime = Vend::Interpolate::mime('header', {attach_only => 1}, '') \ if $use_mime; This worked perfectly for me, but is clearly not what was intended for general use. BTW, I know I could simply remove all the MIME tags from 'etc/report' and Eudora would get along just fine, but I'm interested in a more universal solution here (a demo that works for everyone). So does any one know of a general solution out of this? I don't know what (if any) problems there would be if the default Content-Type were changed from multipart/alternative to multipart/mixed. Suggestions anyone?

People still use EDI? I thought that's what XML and Java were supposed to get rid of. :-) Just kidding. Interchange doesn't come with any de-facto standard EDI translator. It is written in Perl, and has an XML translator (if that helps -- we're year 2001 here, buddy). But there are tons of products/services out there that will take your database data (which is what Interchange stores it in) and will output it to any EDI format you want. There is a lot of great open source software in this area, check out http://www.americancoders.com/OpenBusinessObjects/ especially. Perl: Procedure Extraction and Reporting Language. It's perfect for writing an EDI translator, it only took me 8 hours to whip up a trans.pl that translated EDI -> database. For a current project, I'm just trading raw database dumps (this time, the other end gets stuck with all the translation work - ha!). >c) Describe your shipment tracking and proof of delivery >capabilities. Can >Nokia obtain verbal, faxed and written proof of delivery. Hmm. Shipment tracking is not exactly built into the demo, but it can be easily done by interfacing with the fedex.com sites and giving a customer links to access it. Verbal, faxed, and written proof of delivery are handled by the delivery service, are they not? Or do you mean: will the confirmation be directly written to your customer records database? I've been thinking about implementing that, myself, sometime soon. I hope that helps. You'll find that if Interchange doesn't fit your needs out of the box, it can stretch to any size. (Mike made it Any Size Fits All (TM)). Speaking of trademarks, I had a funny happen today: Customer was working on getting some things trademarked, and was doing some research when he said: "Boy, that 'TM' company sure owns a lot of stuff!". He laughed when I told him that stood for tradmark and said, "Oh! So that's what that means!". He has two degrees, one is a masters.

Hey all, Were about a day away from launching our site, woohoo! We've got a few bugs left to pound out, one of which is a bug caused by caching problems in IE. Now I haven't seen this bug on any of my clients other systems but it is apparent on the new site. I've been reading up on MS about problems with the NoCache header and Meta tags. The solution was to place another HEAD at the bottom of the html file however these tags are ignored in IE 4 and 5.

I am guessing this is an I/O error in Storable or Data::Dumper caused by the ongoing problems with Perl, signals, I/O, and FreeBSD. FreeBSD is not the best platform for Interchange, unfortunately.

Has anyone come across the basket intermittantly dropping its contents when going to another domain for SSL. This is only an occassional problem for me but happens often enough(nearly half the time) to be a concern. I made the changes in the interchange.cfg and catalog.cfg files as recommended and this enabled the basket to carry over. There doesnt seem to be any reason or pattern to its occurrance, but I have only ever been able to complete two sequential(within an hour) test purchases once out of twenty tries. Sometimes (10% of the time)it bypasses the Secure server and tries to go back to an unknown, unsecure page. Could it be an overloaded server (secure or unsecure)? How would I check? Maybe a problem with sessions or cookies? I'm still rather new to Unix/Linux and Interchange but I'm learning fast.

Quoting Ron Phipps (rphipps@reliant-solutions.com): > Wow that simple? Does it send both the header and the meta tag equivalent? > Nope. It uses a more reliable method -- unique integer always in the URL. That should work even for stubborn proxy caches. I think you could have grepped the docs and figured that one out -- I would leave you to do that but I think this might be helpful to a few people and I need to start building my library of FAQs back up. FAQ: Why does MSIE cache my pages? If the user has the settings in Internet options set to "Never", "Once per session", or "Automatically", which is typical, then this might be a problem. If you have the scratch value mv_no_count set (the default in our demos, see catalog.cfg), then the URL will appear as a simple .html page. This is good in the general case, as caching can reduce load on your system. If you want to have constantly changing dynamic content, however, then it might be a problem. You can get caching effects on any browser, if they have an analogous function. Netscape/Mozilla does -- see the "Edit Preferences" under Advanced->Cache. It is not quite as aggressive in its caching behavior, however, and problems are fewer. The way to defeat it for all browsers is to remove this line from catalog.cfg: ScratchDefault mv_no_count 1 This causes a unique integer to be appended to all URLs except form POSTs. It defeats caching when that is at all possible. A good way to do this is to only turn off caching for logged-in users. If they don't have an account on your system, you may not have much dynamic to show them. To do this, place [set mv_no_count][/set] on the destination page for logged in users. If you prefer to keep the unique integer out of the URL, and you trust proxy servers to honor the parameter (hah!), you can do: Autoload <<EOA [if session browser =~ /MSIE/] [tag op=header]Pragma: no-cache[/tag] [/if] EOA or even Autoload <<EOA [if session browser =~ /MSIE/] $Variable->{NO_CACHE} = '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" content="no-cache">'; [/if] EOA with __NO_CACHE__ in the header for pages you don't want cached. This may not work well for AOL, as their proxy servers are extremely aggressive when there are no QUERY_STRING parameters. On a busy system this method can place a bit of additional load on the system and is not real desirable. For best performance you should define a GlobalSub and just pass the routine name: interchange.cfg: GlobalSub <<EOS sub standard_autoload { if ($Session->{browser} =~ /MSIE/) { $Tag->tag( { op => 'header', body => 'Pragma: no-cache' } ); } } EOS catalog.cfg: Autoload standard_autoload TIP: It performs better because it is precompiled and is a simple subroutine call -- very fast. It is the way to do very complicated processing for every user without incurring lots of tag parse overhead on every access. A few little tags in Autoload won't kill you, but I wouldn't want to do a lot on a busy system. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> I don't want to get to the end of my life and find I have just lived the length of it.

I will need to know whether you are running Storable, as I suspect you are. If you are not, or are not running the very latest version, get updated as you *will* get these errors with binary data. This would be exacerbated with frequent Unicode characters or other binary data -- and there are a few Unicode bugs in Perl which are being touched up for 5.6.1, so that can be it too. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. -- Wernher Von Braun From: mikeh at minivend.com (Mike Heins ) Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 06:45:34 -0500 Subject: [ic] SSL ocassionally drops basket Quoting Murray Gibbins (Murray@scotweb.ltd.uk): > Joel Stewart wrote: > > > > Help!!! > > Has anyone come across the basket intermittantly dropping its contents when > > going to another domain for SSL. > > yes, I'm tearing my hair out about it now :-) > You simply can't stop this in all cases when you have different servers.

I also agree that Interchange is like a web developer's Utopia. :-) Apparently the journalist in question was not listening very hard during the press conference yesterday. I can't blame him, though. At the same press conference, we were also treated to a long discussion of how Red Hat Linux was deployed at a Japanese grocery store chain by a man with a very strong accent, so we were all a little tired to listening hard by the end.

All we can say now is that Red Hat Network's eventual goal is certainly as ambitious as what you describe, and there will be services available for Interchange through Red Hat network. Interchange users will not be required to subscribe to RHN, of course, but we'll try hard to make it very worthwhile.

Not at the moment. I just added a patch to CVS which allows recognition of a MV_USERPROFILE cookie. I had been meaning to do it all along, but forgot. Thanks for jogging my memory. It would take just a little bit of patching of the login page to set the hidden values mv_cookie_password=1, then on the admin/pages/entry.html page you add: [set-cookie name=MV_USERPROFILE value=ui] Now when entry.html takes you through the process, it logs you out and logs you in as before. But the next time you come in, you will be auto-logged-in and continue on. This is a little bit insecure for the root admin user to do, since it means saving the password to disk. Not too bad for a user who only has permission to enter orders. I will look at adding logic in the next version which recognizes this situation and sets the expiration to nothing (meaning the cookie isn't stored to disk). -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. -- Wernher Von Braun From: thomas at prometheas.gr (Thomas N.

Hi- Given Redhat's recent acquisition of Akopia, I thought I'd take a look at Redhat's CCVS (credit card auth/capture/credit). I am currently using Signio for CCauth and am pretty happy with it, but since CCVS is backed by Redhat... I was wondering if anyone on the list could give some feedback about their experiences with CCVS and Interchange? Do you find that using a modem affects the speed of real-time auth? Have you had any issues with concurrent auths by multiple shoppers? How does CCVS's feature set compare to Signio? Any input appreciated...

TABLE assemblies ( code varchar part varchar ) Where code is the big item and "part" is the code for the item that goes into it. One code in your products table can have any number of records in assemblies. I'm presuming that each "part" in assembly is also in your products table so you can pull the additional information you need.

Have the user select the computer. The cart will display the computer with related items all checked beneath it. If the user unchecks the related item the cart will recalculate itself subtracting the unneeded item. Or you can start with a base model and add related items to it in the cart. This way the user check the box and adds parts to the computer hince building a computer. Within the cart the user can click on the description hyperlink to view what that item actually is Just a suggestion -- J.

The simple answer is yes you can override it. You do this by specifying a custom usertag and then altering the default CommonAdjust setting. I use: CommonAdjust [user-price] ;products:price Which means return user-price if it exists, otherwise return the price from the products file. To return $1.23 you define a usertag: UserTag user-price Routine <<EOR sub { return 1.23 } and put it in catalog.cfg. then restart your ic server. I use a custom tag to return pricing based upon a customer price, or price band price (see attached usertags) The second tag is used to allow formatting changes if the customer has been given a special price. (probably not the best perl, but it works.) good luck!

Hi list, today was my last work, because I�ve a new job. In this case, my former boss has ordered, to update the old MV3.x to the IC 4.6.1 and his catalog too. After a lot of works. I was able to do that since last week. After detecting some bugs, I was in a muddle, because my boss couldn�t get an email with credit card encrypted. In my test server, all works very fine. Looking around the codes/pages/config files etc. did not give me any difference, hints, etc.. I did not read the emails with the NS 4.6x or NS 4.7x in my test suite. Going to the PC of my boss and fetching the old email with the credit card info (encrypted) from the old MV3.x looks fine. There is a credit card info encryted and attached. All the files (orders/<ordernumber>, tracking.asc, etc.) has the right content with credit card encrypted. Looking into the newest email from the IC 4.6.1 via the NS of my boss has no credit card info attached. Looking into the source code, I see the credit card info encrypted suddenly. The different between the new email and the old email is the different MIME-Type. The old email has a "multipart/mixed" and the newest email has a "multipart/alternative" as a MIME-Type. With "multipart/alternative", NS is not able to show my boss any attached credit card info encrypted. Changing my $msg_type = $opt->{attach_only} ? "multipart/mixed" : "multipart/alternative"; to my $msg_type = $opt->{attach_only} ? "multipart/alternative" : "multipart/mixed"; in Interpolate.pm solve the problem. Am I missing some coherences?

As they can't make money with the software, they have to build a structure whereby they can offer services you have to pay for. Getting an open source program explained is such a service. How else should they compete against the big companies, who will either open up their source code or dump their software prices and who have already service structures like that in place ? If they would neglect those services or overprice them, then they can't make it. If they would give it away the services at no cost, they won't make it either. This is what Germans call my little "Milchrechnung" I guess they have to offer excellent services and you pay a reasonable price for everything you can't figure out on your own. How far Red Hat could make this the fundamental principle, could become a somewhat ethical question of consultancies in general. If the consultancy comprises teaching with the goal that the customer is empowered to set up and build his system on his own, they will have to teach and you pay for it. If the consultancy comprises of building and setting up systems, then they don't have to teach, they have to set-up and maintain. In reality it most probably will always be a mixture of both, because the customer might want to get taught in order to save on maintenance. Or can someone explain another way of making income for a company who deals with open source software and doesn't sell hardware ? Anyhow, Minivend from day one and I think Tallyman too, as well as then IC, stood steadfast behind leaving the source code open. Considering the make money fast climate in those early days when both packages were still babies, that deserves high respect from the developers and so far Red Hat has my respect in that matter as well. I am not sure, if SuSE has a complete free of charge open source e-commerce software package in its box. I doubt it. Basically customers are willing to pay for a good product and a good service.

Thanks a whole lot! Bryan From: bbisaillon at pmail.net (Brian Bisaillon ) Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 21:19:42 -0500 Subject: [ic] CSP (Commerce Solutions Provider) Me and some friends were thinking on setting up a business here in Canada. We'll be hosting local (or remote) businesses' websites on our servers. We are probably going to go with a High Speed DSL solution (equivalent to a fractional T1) from Bell. We would get 32 static ips, DNS, a Cisco router, etc. with that. It's only going to cost us just less than 1/3 of the cost of a full T1 in this area (here it costs 2200$/month canadian). We as students just finishing up at college don't want to spend too much but we would really like to provide more than just a simple website for local (or remote) businesses. We want to provide some EBusiness/ECommerce solutions as well. I've been searching and searching for hours and days looking for cheap solutions or some way to implement this. I came across some link on the Internet that pointed me to Red Hat's site and I read about Interbase. I was amazed! I recently made my own Linux distribution that will basically just run purely as a server. I'm going to compile the Interbase code on it and see what it can do. I already have the latest versions of Apache, MySQL, OpenSSL and PHP installed and working on my distribution. I compiled them from scratch. I also have the latest version of Perl sitting on my system here. I haven't programmed in Perl before but I've done stuff in various other programming languages. Basically, small useful utilities I coded. The biggest thing I probably coded was my own chat server (very basic one but it didn't support message relaying yet or a database system) in Erlang. I'm not in college to learn programming. I pretty much do it on my own. I'm in my 3rd year of Computer Network Technology and after this I'll have two diplomas come April/2001. Anyways, back on topic. I wanted to know if any other sites are using Interchange right now? How stable is it? What are some things I should consider when setting this up? I suppose I'll find a lot of answers in the documentation when I read it and set it up tomorrow. However, I'm interested in knowing how stable this is and if it's worthit for us to go ahead with this. The best part is that this software is FREE and I mean we are college students that don't have a whole lot of money. Therefore, if we can set this thing up on our Linux servers it'd be great for us! Plus, any outside customers on the Internet such as U.S. customers would benefit from our services because to U.S. customers, canadian pricing is much cheaper. For example, if I roll out some services for say 24.95$/mth + GST (7%) it would cost U.S. customers peanuts. We'd be raking in the cash as well once we get a good customer base. We are planning on providing fault tolerance using RAID and we're going to talk to Bell about fault tolerance involving the routers. We still have a lot of background work to do on legal issues that might be involved with our business. However, if we can get this thing off the ground we'll definitely be sitting pretty! If Interchange is going to be rolled out on a large scale (maybe it's already really popular but I'm not sure) then I don't see why I wouldn't want to get more in depth training on it unless of course I can figure this stuff out on my own. Basically, do you all think this is a good idea? We have all the machines already, we have the operating system and the software (including Interchange), we'd get bandwidth provided by Bell for a reasonable cost (449$/mth canadian) and all we'd really have to worry about is Marketing etc. However, in this city no one has done what we plan to do. We can really get the ball rolling and really compete effectively with local businesses here. Most businesses here are providing dial-up accounts etc. and Bell is charging them an arm and a leg for reselling bandwidth. We decided if you can't compete with Bell run with them and the result would be much cheaper. We will be running this out of my friend's home as well. He has a bunch of security setup there and all we really need now is some UPS' and make sure that everything is insured. As for important data we'll be backing it up and putting it in a safe place (perhaps a safe or something? maybe even look into some security service). For example, if our server went down we don't want to lose all of the financial information related to the businesses we host otherwise we'd be in big trouble. Anyways, you can sort of see what we've been thinking of here. We were also thinking on establishing our customer base first (and that won't be a problem because we already have people waiting for us to get up and running! they're eager!) and of course on the Internet we can also establish an international clientele. All in all, if anyone on this list can provide me with more information to help me along please do so. I'm kinda fuzzy on the whole digital certificate thing too! I guess we'd have to signup for a digital certificate with some sort of service? Also, I was thinking about SSL and all the services that currently don't support it and I was thinking of using stunnel to pipe my services through it for more security. Is that also a good idea? I know it's not related to Interchange but I guess it could be. Thank you in advance all for your replies! I'm sure I'll get some...

I'm looking at Interchange to replace my company's current ecom software. It's a proprietary/unstable piece that I'm not allowed to touch (it's in another state). The best option (and I've investigated many) is to create a new one. The problem is that we have a proprietary system that all business runs on. Our current software interfaces through a gateway to get realtime customer pricing (via contracts) and a real system order number. The nice thing is that it's all done for us, and we can just pull the order up in the system as if customer service put it in themselves. I'm curious whether Interchange might be adaptable to this type of environment. It would mean somehow linking it to a gateway that it could query for pricing. Also, when the order is placed, Interchange would need to let the order go through to our system (attaching the account number as the method of payment) instead of processing the order itself. I hope someone might be able to help. We might even need a consultant. I'm not terribly strong in perl, and that might be where I'm going with this.

Start with Interpolate.pm and work out from there. You'll get into Data.pm and Util.pm right away and other modules as you need to. Don't start with bin/minivend or it will likely make no sense.

Among the things that can bite you: if you have a lot of items and big pages your gateway system is going to get hammered. Think of what can be cached, how and where, what sort of optimizations you might make.

I don't really understand how I might go about getting the order into our system though. I gather the above must be suggesting a script that parses the email that would normally be sent and inputs it into our system? Would IC be able to call that script when an order is completed, or would it need to be scheduled to run throughout the day? We have a pretty tight schedule that requires the orders to be in the system by certain times in order for them to be delivered same/next day.

Phillip, I'd be interested to hear about your experiences if you do take this task on, sounds like some custom work but would work well when finished. To answer your question the way to do this would probably be to call a usertag in Reciept.html (which is displayed to the user when they complete an order) that would pull the information from the database (instead of trying to parse the email) and call an API supported by your accounting program to insert the data into the system. Is the accounting system proprietary? Does it have an API for inserting data into the invoice, customer and item area? The way this has been accomplished with Quickbooks is to dump an IIF file once a day which is data pulled out of the Interchange database and formatted for QBooks to handle. If your system supports a type of file format import it would just mean making your own Accounting usertags to write that file out, definitely do-able.

Ryals ) Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 16:19:21 -0600 Subject: [ic] Datamining with Interchange Unfortunately, our system is horribly proprietary. It's called DDMS, if you might have heard of it. It's made specifically for the office-products industry. What stinks is that it is the best available for what we need. The problem is their e-com software. They want to charge insane amounts and scrimp on features, all while hosting it across the country. nice. :) They do sell a package that provides a basic API to the system. They refuse to work with you if you need help though, so I'm a bit nervous about starting this thing. I basically requires that you write an entire gateway to interface a 3rd party system to theirs. Hopefully, it isn't as bad as it sounds. But I sincerely believe I can help the independent dealers if I go through with it and make InterChange work with DDMS easily. It'll just be a huge project. Regular importing, btw, isn't an option because the customer needs to have delivery same or next day. We need the order in the system and waiting as soon as it is placed so that it can be processed for fulfillment. We actually connect to our wholesalers seven times a day to upload orders and have them delivered to our warehouse. So long story short, this has to be as transparent as possible to the rest of the system. Everyone is used to the orders just appearing, so it's my job to make sure that happens. yay! :) -phillip ----Original Message---- Phillip, I'd be interested to hear about your experiences if you do take this task on, sounds like some custom work but would work well when finished.

The CHECKOUT page is secure, so the info has to move from one server to another. The site is www.***.com, while the secure site is https://***.com, so from what I understand, the info isn't being passed to the secure server. I have searched the documentation and still do not clearly understand what the problem is. It looks like it is a CookieDomain problem, but I am not certain how to implement this. I have tried inserting it into the CATALOG.CFG but I think that I am doing this incorrectly. The only documentation that I have read says to set it to: CookieDomain .yourdomain.com *it must have at least two periods or browsers will ignore it. What does this mean?

Hi all, Just figuring out Interchange, and have run into a couple of snags with subcategories. First, is it possible to have subcategories with the same name in different main categories? For example: Dog Products -Food -Cages Cat products -Food -Cages etc? I tried the category=D_Food, and category=C_Food to try and separate, but the names that display in the "adding items" UI just have two "Food" categories. It's hard to tell which is dog food, and which is cat food ;) I have a client who will be using the store once I figure it out, and she wants the organization this way, she will be adding items herself later, and needs to know which subcategory she is adding to. Secondly, when I do add subcategories, they show up in "construct something" demo store, but they don't show up in the list of subcategories in the "Add Item" UI. I tried applying changes, but it didn't solve anything. Any guidance? Thanks, Gina From: gina at sitediva.com (Gina K.

G'Day Gina, The reason your new categories are not showing up anywhere is Interchange does the search based on the txt file, and not the db file. So after you make any changes or additions to the area & cat database you must make sure you have exprted the db files. The simple way is to re-edit your new entry and click the update button at the bottom of the page making sure the auto-export is clicked. Now the reason it doesn't show up in the item editor is that it does a quick look up in the products field for all of the categories that have been assigned to products. Thus ignoring unsed ones in the cat database. The fix for this is as follows: 1) Start editing any item. 2) Right under the Category label you will see a small blue hyper link labeled meta click on it. 3) Make sure the first entry in the meta screen "Table::Column" says "products::category". 4) Change the widget type to "Select Box". 5) Filters shoulld have "--add--" in the left box and "nullselect" in the right. 6) Lookup select shoudl be "name". 7) Lookup table should be "cat". 8) Pre-Filter shoudl be "nullselect". 9) Press "Ok" at the bottom with "Auto-Export" enabled. 10) Apple the changes to the server. Then all your categories will be active. Also you can name your categories "Dog Food" or "Cat Food". There can be spaces in the name... John Beima Quoting "Gina K.

Few more questions: |So after you make any changes or additions to the area |& cat database you must make sure you have |exprted the db files. |click the update button at the bottom of the page |making sure the auto-export is clicked. I'm adding categories and subcategories in the "Design" area. I see an "Apply Changes" at the bottom of each UI page (And I have "Change Area" and "Change Category"), but I can't find where to check Auto-Export--sorry for all the dumb questions :/ This is version 4.6.0, don't know if there is a difference between the newest release and this one? |The fix for this is as follows: I tried your instructions, and here I did see the check box for "Auto Export", so I made sure that was done. However, I have only one "Food" category that shows up in the Item category drop down list, it doesn't show "Dog_Food" or "Cat_Food". In the Cat table, the selectors for these particular categories say: category=Dog_Food category=Cat_Food But they don't show up in the category drop down list in the add item UI, just as "Food" So I'm still not sure how to separate the items into their correct categories. I added a dog food item, and just selected "Food" as the category, hoping it would lead me to something else, but nothing else happened. I have this on the left side in the demo store: Dog Products -Food Cat products -Food and if I click on either food, I see: "Sorry, no matches for Dog_Food" (or "Cat_Food" depends on which "Food" I click :) So even though an item *is* in the Food category, it doesn't get displayed in the demo store.

I've looked over the routes and order profile, and even grepped the source and module code, but can't find anything like 'writing to transaction database', or any indication in the dox about how to properly handle an additional field.

Thank you in advance, Marcelo F. De Paula From: jon at akopia.com (Jon Jensen ) Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2001 15:16:03 -0600 (CST) Subject: [ic] Interchange 4.6.2 now available We're pleased to announce that Interchange 4.6.2 is now available for download. This is the most current stable version of Interchange, and we recommend users upgrade to this version. It is available from our Developer Resource website at: http://developer.akopia.com/ Thanks to those who contributed bugfixes and suggestions. We encourage posts to the interchange-users list and annotations to the online documentation, both of which are available at the URL above. The Akopia Team Changes in this version: * [loop list=`$Scratch->{ary}`] now accepts a prebuilt array reference to loop over. Must be in the form returned by $db->query(), i.e. the list array (of arrays), an optional field hash ref giving the field name to index pointers, and an optional array ref giving the field names in order. Thanks to Kaare Rasmussen for the suggestion. * Fixed bad bug in History, saving mv_credit_card_number in session. Oops. * Fixed bug in secure/non-secure host comparison, thanks to Murray Gibbins, Stefan Hornburg, and Hans-Joachim Leidinger. * Add MV_USERPROFILE to the list of recognized cookies, allowing a cookie-based admin login. Providing the password is saved in a cookie (perhaps with no expiration time?) then this will allow multiple-order entry by running the login process again. * Fixed up the DisplayErrors auto-response to be localized. Not many people use this, but trying to localize all error messages. * Fixed bug in ui_date_widget, generated month name for "Feb 30" which turned into March. * Patch supplied by Hans-Joachim Leidinger <jojo@buchonline.net> prevents blank credit card info from being encrypted. * Fixed bug #106, hang at install time if specified Interchange user ID doesn't exist. * Fixed problem in Search.pm where coordinated search of op=rm would not match on words only. * Fixed recent bug that prevented cached DBI connections. * Fixed a couple of hard-coded mv_metadata references in admin pages preventing renaming of __UI_META_TABLE__. * Fix problem with ProductFiles resolution in loops. The Vend::OnlyProducts setting was confused after the on-the-fly update. * Convert '[' characters to [ in [value-extended] to prevent reparsing of Interchange tags from user data. * Fixed problem with fly-list not accepting base parameter as per docs. Found by Victor Nolton. * Added Stefan Hornburg's patch for table image background paths. Set pragma substitute_table_image to enable this. * Improved makecat error message when problems occur reading config file. * Made NoAbsolute default to Yes in interchange.cfg, which gives better default security for newly-built catalogs. * Various minor HTML corrections. Thanks to Paul <porl@namee.com.au> and Mediabang. * Fixed in-stock notification problem on flypage.html and stock-alert.html. * RPM only: Fixed logrotate.d file to prevent cascading log rotation like error.log.1.gz.1.gz etc. Thanks to Murray Gibbins for diagnosis & fix.

It appears to me that in the standard catalog configuration once a form is submitted (Such as that of the login page, new account area) the page returned is the form page. Is there not a success or thanks for becoming a member type page with an oops if something isn't right or filled in that is required. Just Wondering.

I am mainly concerned with 'shipped' orders at this point. Question: is the customer supposed to receive an email when you click on "Ship checked order, send email to customer if appropriate"? An email is never sent out, so either this isn't an "appropriate" time, or something is broken. My guess leans towards broken, but I'm not sure what to check, or where. Customers receive the email receipt fine.

This module is referred to as JVM, it allows a programmer to access Java code from within their perl code. The module installation has worked great and I have been able to write Perl code that executes Java code. Unfortunately when I try to use this JVM library/module in embedded perl, I get errors. Is there a particular perl file I should include the use Jvm; line in so that my embedded perl code can access this library? If so, please let me know what it is. I have tried reading all the manuals and the closest I came to finding an answer was page 25 of 58 in ictemplates.pdf where it mentioned I could override existing methods. Also, once I make this change in a particular Perl file, how do I recompile that Perl file so that Interchange (the application) recognizes the change?

(They are tab seperated) usps Priority Mail quantity 0 99999999 4 This sets the fixed handling charge of $4.00. What they want is the fixed handling charge plux 1 dollar for category periodicals and 2 dollars for category books. They also want a seperate shipping type with just a flat fee plus 1 dollar for everything in the cart. Which I then created the following. usps Priority Mail quantity 0 99999999 4 usps1 Priority Mail1 quantity 0 99999999 4 after reading the icdatabase documents. I thought the following should work. ***Note I replaced the 4 with f ... below and the \ at the end is just a place holder to show the line was continued for readability.

At the end of the setup after the part where makecat says: 'Database "test_construct" created. done. Moving link program to /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/simple ...done. *Copying share/ files to /usr/local/www/data/first_catalog ...done. Moving HTML files to /usr/local/www/data/this_catalog/simple ...done. The share files always get re-copied into the first directory I ever installed a catalog into, but everthing else goes where it should. And to make it work I have to copy the akopia directory from the 'first_catalog' directory to the 'this_catalog' directory. This isn't hard, but what if the ui isn't the same? Then my first UI will get mashed. This is not a problem for me since my first install was only for testing and isn't being used any longer. I'm not good enough with perl or interchange to track the file copying section down. What confuses me is that, at no time, during makecat do I enter the 'first_catalog' directory.

And it's a good thing! You found a bad bug that turned up in 4.6.2 when one bug fix exposed a previous, more serious bug. A subroutine call in Data.pm had two of its parameters swapped, but that code never got called before the 4.6.2 release due to the earlier bug. This is a serious problem, so we've fixed it and Interchange 4.6.3 is now available on the website at the usual place: http://developer.akopia.com/ Thanks, Marc, for finding and reporting this right away.

The problem we are having is that whenever we do a search on a table other than default products table using the loop search: [loop search="st=db/ra=yes/fi=table_X"] column_A: [loop-field <table column_A>] [/loop] It would seem to return blank or null. Strangely though, if column_A also exists in the products table, the value returned would be from the products table not table_X. Doing the same query using query tag: [query sql="select column_A from table_X" list=1] column_A: [sql-param column_A]<br> [/query] works flawlessly in getting the correct column values. Here is our table/db setup in our catalog.cfg: Database products products.sql dbi:mysql:interchange Database products USER <mysql user> Database products PASS <mysql password> Database product_detail product_detail.sql dbi:mysql:interchange Database product_detail USER <mysql user> Database product_detail PASS <mysql password> Another quick question, is this the only to declare tables (from the same database) for Interchange?

What version of perl are you using? (Have you tried updating?) Have you tried manually downloading from search.cpan.org? If you have, what happens when you... perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If the make test fails, maybe the make install will still work and you won't have to worry about it.

That would be going from SQL->IC. (I understand that IC already has the ability to generate IC->SQL commands?) How does one get interchange to generate the SQL "CREATE TABLE..." commands from the above db configuration? (It seems that the demo catalogs build their dbs automatically, but I can't seem to make my own db's build automatically). I have to manually CREATE TABLE... *and* put the data into a dbconf/pgsql/table.pgsql file.

For each point, I see the following scenarios: A) Akopia implements it. The patch goes into CVS, most likely into the development branch. B) Akopia doesn't like it or would not bother to implement it => either my company (CNS) or another IC hacker may implement it. The patch goes first into the LINUXIA branch. Later on, we can decide if it is worth to produce an addon to IC containing code from the A and B scenarios.

Well an improvement would be a native (as in the US sales taxes are native) EU "sales tax" implementation i.e TVA/VAT issues. One big hole here is that different countries have different criteria for which band a product is in - so this would need to be left to the implementor (for example - the different treatment of Books in the UK and rest of the EU) And what of delivery charges / pan european delivery companies - they could be incorporated ? > > A) Akopia implements it.

The module installation has worked great and I have been able to write Perl code that executes Java code. Unfortunately when I try to use this JVM library/module in embedded perl, I get errors. Is there a particular perl file I should include the use Jvm; line in so that my embedded perl code can access this library? If so, please let me know what it is.

That's where I would start looking. Does the mail hit sendmail? If you can see sendmail get it, then it is a sendmail configuration issue as to why it doesn't get delivered.

If I'm correct, the embedded perl code is run through the Safe module, which would understandably restrict your usage of a JVM module. (Otherwise, an exploit allowing user-entered data to be executed within Safe would be able execute arbitrary Java code -- even more dangerous than arbitrary perl executed in Safe). From what I understand, a global UserTag isn't run through the Safe module. Read up on UserTags and put one in interchange.cfg that uses your JVM. That might work.

I've been running a store with 4.6.1 for the last month. Last week I upgraded to 4.6.2 and all of a sudden the multi-page checkout (first page takes billing & shipping info, and second page confirms totals/shipping costs etc and takes the credit card info) completes orders after just the first step (the second page is skipped and no credit card info is ever taken). Is this a bug, or just a quirky change in syntax?

If there is a value then that column will be displayed, if there is not, then it will not. Can someone help me out with this please? Thanks.

We've looked into all the requirements on getting set up and we are basically looking for the best most-for-cheap solution for a payment gateway. I've looked at CyberCash, Verisign and a bunch of other ones. The one that caught my attention the most was Paypal. The first URL below shows the two different accounts and their features: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/personal_vs_business-outside The second URL below shows the fee schedule for "Premier and Business Accounts": http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/fees-outside The one I'd be interested in of course would be the "Premier and Business Accounts". I've sent them email to find out if they provide Global Server IDs or if it's handled some other way. I'm a little fuzzy on Paypal's service. I know that if we go with CyberCash or Verisign that we'd get a Global Server ID. However, we are located in Canada and we need flexibility. We basically want support for chequing, debit and credit cards. Verisign is expensive for us canadians though. 1400$ isn't exactly cheap when you're just starting and you're a somewhat poor college student :-) If we had the customer base I'm sure we could afford it... If you could pay Verisign stuff in monthly payments it would be ideal...

We do it this way: CommonAdjust products:price, &{MV::scrubs::pricing;}, specials:price That is for a single catalog, but the concept scales. It does, however, require one patch in Data.pm to bypass the Safe. # cfm this allows unsafe routines in commonadjust # $price = Vend::Interpolate::tag_calc($mod); # dist $price = MV::MS::unsafe_tag_calc($mod); # /cfm I'd guess you could use a [usertag] to bypass Safe; I can't remember if they work in CommonAdjust. At least that way you could dump all your customizations into an outboard perl module. Then you would have option of including that at run time or use'ing it - depending on how often it changes and your development/prototyping environment. Make it your own pm and it will not get tromped on when you upgrade. Mike will correct me if I am wrong - what I think that amounts to is replacing your many precompiled CommonAdjust routines with a precompiled routine that calls subroutines. In general we've not found internal pricing routines to be a bottleneck; we **have** found outboard pricing routines (the daemon) to be problematic because minivend looks up items so often. We used to patch Vend/Minivend but struggle now to avoid it. Over the last year we've reduced patch count to less than half a dozen spots. Rather than patch, we build our own module. No doubt to the unbiased eye they are just ugly children, but to us they are beautiful and orderly. :-) And as any children will do, they go way over the bounds and talk directly to minivend internal routines. > > Please,please,please can something be done about the limits on CommonAdjust > string/atoms. > > To illustrate here is my common adjust string ( with the shop names replaced). > > CommonAdjust shop1:price:, shop2:price:, shop3:price:, shop4:price:, > shop5:price:, shop6:price:, shop7:price:, shop8:price:, shop9:price:, > shop10:price:, shop11:price:, shop12:price:, shop13:price:, > ==material:shop12_pricing::, ==size:shop12_pricing::, > ==trewbottom:shop11_pricing::, ==pcwaist:shop11_pricing::, -- > "13. ``Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, > but rather when there is nothing more to take away.''" > > God I would sooooo like to rewrite the chain_cost subroutine, please :-) Why not?

And, you must quote to force interpolation. Moreover, the interpolate directive applies to the body of a containing tag, which doesn't apply here. [selected name=[sql-param deliverycode] value="[scratch deliverycode]"] [*-param...] tags do not need forced interpolation as they are parsed prior to other tags within the block.

By using the Apache ScriptAlias directive, we setup our cat to be accessible via http://ourhost/dynamic/pages (versus http://ourhost/cgi-bin/pages). We were proud of ourselves. Then along came 4.6.3.

While I can believe you had a problem, it should not have been related to Storable. There is no way a ScriptAlias would affect that. The only thing I can think of is that you had installed a Storable module somewhere in the /usr/lib/interchange tree and the RPM overwrote it. Or the RPM placed a _session_storable file in /usr/lib/interchange and your original installation didn't have it. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. -- Earl Wilson From: schrader.news at evendi.de (Christian Schrader ) Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 20:01:09 +0100 Subject: [ic] "Others who bought this" with old products How can I make sure, that the "Others who bought this"-links don't include products that have been sold in the past, but aren't anymore?

If a price is $123.45 Then display it in the database as: 12345 So the app will always assume that the last two digits are to the right of the decimal. 1 = $0.01 501 = $5.01 That way we would abstract away which symbol denotes the seperater.

Further I can't access this JVM module/library from within any subroutines within my interchange.cfg file. I tried digging up everything I could on user tags or interchange tags. But the majority of information I found on perl code in the interchange.cfg file was concerned with defining perl subroutines. The best I was able to do was create a GlobalSub in the interchange.cfg file: GlobalSub <<EOF sub count_orders { return "this is returned from count_orders subroutine.\n"; } EOF However, I wasn't able to call this subroutine from within any of my embedded perl code: [perl sub] return count_orders(); [/perl] So then I tried creating a regular subroutine in the interchange.cfg file: Sub <<EOF sub sort_cart_by_quantity { my $out = 'This is a test!!!'; return $out; } EOF But again I couldn't call it from my embedded perl code in my html pages: [perl] return sort_cart_by_quantity(); [/perl] Anyway, now I am a bit stumped. The majority of reading I did on usertags was in the icconfig.pdf and ictemplates.pdf. You'll notice that neither of my subroutines use the JVM module/library I was talking about. This is because I wanted to get a regular subroutine working before I tried use JVM. I'm not sure if this is what you intended when you said to put a user tag in my interchange.cfg file. If it isn't I apologize, but information seems fairly scarce on the topic of usertags in the interchange.cfg file. This was all I could find: --------------------------------------- 7.42. UserTag *global* This defines a UserTag which is global in nature, meaning not limited by the Safe.pm module, and is is available to all Interchange catalogs running on the server. Otherwise, this is the same as a catalog UserTag. --------------------------------------- Anyway, I am either lacking the documentation or I'm just not thinking this through correctly.

Here's a quick solution. Have a old_price field in the products table. Then modify where the special is displayed to pull 'Was [item field old_price], now [item-price]' This only requires the need to change the products table (don't forget to update the products file in the dbconf directory for your db platform) and the specials template. Good luck. P.S.

Hi- I just downloaded the 4.6.3-1.rh6.i386 RPM and installed it, and my interchange is no longer working. When I go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and do a ./interchange start I get the confirmation message back [ OK ] saying that it has started successfully. But when I try to access construct, I get interchange's "Server unavailable" message. I followed the instructions in the mail archives for resolving this message and did a chmod 4755 construct on the construct file in my cgi-bin directory, but this did not fix the problem. A check of the log files in /var/log/interchange revealed that no errors were being passed to either error.log or construct.error.log. Going back to /etc/rc.d/init.d and doing a ./interchange status returned this message: "interchange dead and subsys locked" So I rebooted the box, and tried again to start interchange - no luck, I still get "OK" confirmation but it doesn't really start and a status check shows I'm still getting the same "subsys" error message. I looked through the mail archives again, and it says that this error may be related to running interchange with PostgreSQL on the back end, but I am not running interchange with PostgreSQL (my interchange install is vanilla) However, I do have minivend installed on this same box, and my minivend IS configured to use PostgreSQL - but that should not affect interchange right? Also, prior to installing this latest version of IC, my interchange was running fine.

Products are divided into classes (six initially). Each class of product has a different shipping calculation that corresponds to a shipping method in Interchange. I can add a field to the products table that specifies the class of the product but how do I tell Interchange to sum up the weight of products, keeping them separated along class lines, apply the appropriate shipping calculation (by weight) to each sum and finally sum up these totals to arrive at a final shipping cost ?

Other topics will include: - announcements of Interchange releases and fixes - notification and submission of Interchange bugs - distributing pages which implement Interchange functions - discussing the future development of Interchange - any other topic relating *directly* to Interchange The list started January 5, 1997 as minivend-users. For an archive of past articles, see: http://developer.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/ Also, because the list has high volume for one of its type, before posting to the list it is recommended that you use the search feature at: http://developer.akopia.com/ Many questions can be answered by trying some keywords at this facility. Try more than one combination. It is common courtesy when posting to a forum such as this to: 1. Include the version of software you are using, i.e. Interchange 4.6.1. Bugs are fixed and deficiencies corrected in each release of Interchange, as with almost any software. 2. Include relevant information where appropriate. The operating system in question is often relevant, as is the Perl version and database type in use. 3. When talking about tag problems, include a snippet of ITL tags which illustrates the problem. 4. When posting about PGP, Glimpse, or anything else that uses an external command, you need to state what happens when you run the same thing from the command line. 5. Include error log entries or a statement that there are none. If a post to this list doesn't include the relevant information, not only are you unlikely to get a reasonable answer, you will add to the volume of the list and make it less likely that reasonable questions are answered. All entries are archived and available via a web gateway. The "X-No-Archive: Yes" header is honored if you choose to use it. List etiquette issues: -- No HTML mail is allowed. Besides being improper email netiquette, it destroys the digest. -- Please try to keep your line size less than 80 characters. -- No PGP signatures should be used. This is not a legal record. -- No flame wars are tolerated. -- No "courtesy copies" unless specifically requested. It can be annoying to some people to receive two copies of the same message. -- If you must munge, make sure you mention this in the BODY of the message and not buried incomprehensibly in the header or in a cluttered signature attachment. -- The list changes the Reply-To: header to point to the list. While this is by popular demand, it is recognized that it is not always the best mode of operation. You should reply by email directly to the sender if the post will not be of general use. For more information see the Netiquette RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html Thanks for your cooperation. We believe we have one of the best user lists going, and we would like to keep it useful and pleasant to use. From: marc at inuzite.com (Marc Villeneuve ) Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 09:41:13 -0500 Subject: [ic] No code for currency in orderlines or transactions Hi, I am submitting a proposal right about now for an e-com system, and I am a bit stomped. It is common courtesy that when a customer buys something in his own country, to show the proper price for an item (in his language and currency), everybody agrees on that. This, Interchange can do, it can recalculate the amount for a currency (say from USD to CAD, Canadian dollars), but when this order is posted into the orderline table, there is nothing in there that says in what currency was the purchase made (so that the amount is cast in stone, if you say a pair of shoes costs 33.95$ US, then is it). So, you end up in the Admin UI in the pending orders page to have totally false information, in the sense that if you converted the currency before checking out, the amount is present, but ALWAYS use the same currency sign (whether that is USD or CAD or FF). Try it for yourself in the construct something catalog: Switch it to fr_FR locale (which is French speaking and Francs as the currency) by using the process/locale path like this: http://mystore/cgi-bin/construct/process/locale/fr_FR/page/index.html This will bring you back to the main page, but will switch the store to fr_FR for your current session. Try shopping around, prices should have been converted to FF. Buy something, check out. Close your browser or start another one (a different one): Log into the admin UI cgi-bin/construct/admin/login.html Go to Pending Orders, and there is your US money being multiplied by the currency rate factor of FF. So do I: - Look for a quick workaround like always using USD (CAD) and only showing the converted price? This means modifying the fly_page, result page, cart, checkout, report etc. - Patch the checkout process to correctly insert into orderline (or transaction) a currency code and modify the admin UI "en profondeur" in-depth to accept the currency selected by the customer. - Go straigth to WebSphere Commerce Suite 5.1 (which correctly handles multiple currencies), do not pass go, let my client spend another 9000$ US. Any advice, piece of code, denial ;-) , is appreciated. Thanks!!! Marc Villeneuve Inuzite inc. From: thomas at prometheas.gr (Thomas N.

I would leave the regular price in the price field and add a sale_price field. Then you won't have to change the price field when a promotion occurs, just fill in the sale_price field. Now use a [if] tag to determine whether there is a value in sale_price. If so, show price as: Was $49.99 Now $39.99 else: Now $49.99 This way when the promotion ends, your client has only to remove the price in the sale_price field. Better yet, put a sale_date field in as well and code it so when the date arrives, the sale_price is no longer valid. Sorry I didn't take the time to write the code, but that should get you going.

Hi list OK so I'm a Perl dude, whos been playing with Interchange for the last few months, and here's a problem for you all: I've got a client who wants his storefront to display the specials in a kind of "Was $xx, now $yy" format. That means that I've got to track the old price somehow. The only way I see clear is by getting clever with the current item fields, and pasting the old price into say long description (making sure long desc. contains only the price), changing the actual price field to the new price, and then using some MML to get it to display nicely. Before I go ahead with this detour, anyone got a shortcut that does not involve me having to recode half of IC?

Hi- I just downloaded the 4.6.3-1.rh6.i386 RPM and installed it, and my interchange is no longer working. When I go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and do a ./interchange start I get the confirmation message back [ OK ] saying that it has started successfully. But when I try to access construct, I get interchange's "Server unavailable" message. I followed the instructions in the mail archives for resolving this message and did a chmod 4755 construct on the construct file in my cgi-bin directory, but this did not fix the problem. A check of the log files in /var/log/interchange revealed that no errors were being passed to either error.log or construct.error.log. Going back to /etc/rc.d/init.d and doing a ./interchange status returned this message: "interchange dead and subsys locked" So I rebooted the box, and tried again to start interchange - no luck, I still get "OK" confirmation but it doesn't really start and a status check shows I'm still getting the same "subsys" error message. I looked through the mail archives again, and it says that this error may be related to running interchange with PostgreSQL on the back end, but I am not running interchange with PostgreSQL (my interchange install is vanilla) However, I do have minivend installed on this same box, and my minivend IS configured to use PostgreSQL - but that should not affect interchange right?

In shipping.asc: gst � � GST � � [subtotal noformat=1] � 0 � � � 99999999 � � � �x .07 pst � � PST � � [subtotal noformat=1] [value state] � � 0 � � � 0 � � � 0 pst � � PST for Alberta AB � � �0 � � � 99999999 � � � �x .075 pst � � PST for Ontario ON � � �0 � � � 99999999 � � � �x .08 etc. pst � � No PST � � � � �0 � � � 99999999 � � � �0 GST is always applied, but PST can be geographically qualified on province. The first line just sets up the geographic qualification. Now just set: � � � � [value name=mv_handling set="gst pst" hide=1] somewhere at the top of the checkout page. Finally: � � � � GST: [shipping gst] � � � � PST: [shipping pst] All of this requires a reconfig of the catalog, of course. And the state qualification may not work for you, as I happen to know that Canada can do some funny things with PST exemptions based on postal code. There you should have a custom usertag to calculate your PST percentage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that it doesnt work with the interchange version(this solution, i think, is for minivend)... Did someone solve this problem with interchange...when i try this solution, i've got a error message like this: no definition for PST&GST put 0,00$ Thank you very much for your help!

The issue is not so much nesting as proceedure. The results of the query are not there when you want them for the next query. You don't really have a [query] inside a [query]. There are **at least** four things you can do: 1) Figure out how to rewrite the query as a JOIN 2) Try to preprocess and denormalize your tables so you can pull what you need in one record 3) Make multiple queries and reconcile with perl, eg map %CATEGORIES result set to %SKU set. 4) Write it as a perl sub so you can make more than one query and do it based on what the first query returns. It does not look like you need 4, 2 is a short dead end but very good in some cases, 1 is the most economical approach, and 3 means you couldn't figure out how to do it right but just have to get it to work. :-) I'd bet you could get that to work as a simple JOIN. We do next to everything in perl (option 4). If you go that route you want to start looking at glue to the internal database routines. { $table ||='products'; $db=$Vend::Database{$table} or ::logGlobal(sprintf(qq`%s: %d ERROR: dbi_query: unknown base table: %s, SQL: %s`,__FILE__,__LINE__,$table,$query)); $db=$db->ref(); $db=$db->[$DBI]; my($sth); eval { unless($sth=$db->prepare($query)) { ::logGlobal(" Error: 5 $DBI::errstr on $query") unless ($DBI::errstr=~/specials/); # specials return; } unless($sth->execute()) { ::logGlobal(" Error: 4 $DBI::errstr on $query") unless ($DBI::errstr=~/exist/); # specials return; } # This returns a reference to array of references to arrays $tmp=$sth->fetchall_arrayref; }; if ($@||$DBI::errstr) { ::logGlobal("ERROR: 6 array_query croaked, error: $@ $DBI::errstr SQL: $query") unless ($DBI::errstr=~/exist/); return; } if($sth->rows) { return @{$tmp}; } else { return; } } > > Here's the current code (working): > [query > list=1 > st=db > sql=| > SELECT DISTINCT category > FROM products > WHERE hcpcs IN ( > SELECT hcpcs > FROM coverage > WHERE carrier_idr = '[value carrier_pri]' > ) > ORDER BY category; > | > ] > [sql-param category]<BR> > [/query] > > It just lists the categories.

SELECT category,skus WHERE x=y ORDER BY category; while (@return) { display_category if (new_category); display_item } Maybe they are in different tables? SELECT categories.category,products.skus WHERE products.category=categories.category AND x=y ORDER BY categories.category; That will work the first time and then bite you big time when you want to put an item into n categories. That wants a three table join (at least) where you keep the 1:n relation of product to category separate from products table. -- Christopher F.

Still I'd suggest you make it policy to encapsulate anything that uses minivend internals in a separate perl library and not in the pages.

MV::JVM is probably not going to work for you unless you have a directory MV in the @INC. Ours is /usr/lib/perl5/MV where we keep our custom minivend libraries; I doubt you have that. And unless you run Debian linux /usr/lib/perl5 is probably not even in your @INC. See what your @INC is with something like this: I'm not sure if it runs afoul of Safe in a stock install or not. [perl] { return join '<BR>',@INC,'<BR>'; } [/perl] I'd suggest you NOT use "MV". There is no reason to clutter your life with our legacy code and conventions. See bin/interchange for how to use perl modules. Just put your JVM module there and restart.

A merchant is more or less a cart, so it's a hash of hashes. The %SC hash is too, holding both default and client specific data. We've been loading these into session. The %SC is about 15kb and the %M is about 2kb. Any session will have 2 %SC hashes (the catalog and the default) and at least 2 %M hashes (catalog, default, and more if there are other carts). Now this system is stabilizing I'm wanting to tuck it into ::Vend somewhere outside of the session and load it at start up (or cache it along the way). I'm wondering if anyone could help me out and share some thoughts on where might be the best place to put this? ::Vend::Cfg comes to mind, but so does ::Vend::MS where it can stay "encapsulated". Or maybe it belongs in our modules that handle the relevant data (eg MV::SC); I'm leaning toward that. Maybe it's not a big deal; just that I've had plenty of experience cleaning up ad hoc choices and I want to avoid that. cfm -- Christopher F.

I will contact Akopia`s team to try to submit these patches for currency handling. As a non-american (german ?) yourself, do you disagree from the way I want to solve this whole mess? I really would like your opinion on this. 'ricans have great qualities, but they have such a huge internal market ready to buy (280 M people), that handling 2-3 different currencies, is not their priority. Being Canadian, and even worse, being a Quebecer (latin people, read frenchman like) where we as a people are really pissed when we don't get served in our own language and money, I have got to solve this whole thing before I can push Interchange as a solution. What I am trying to figure out, is: is this a general problem? Or mine only? If it is mine only I will not bother Akopia with it, and I will keep these patches for myself.

First, you need to create a label template... Launch 'Dymo Label' (the software that came with the label printer). Select 'File->New Label' from the menu. Pick the right label type for the kind of labels you are using. Using the design tools available, add whatever information you want to the label, but make sure that it contains one, and only one 'Address' object, this is where the address will be filled in when printing labels (just use 'Text' objects for return addresses, not 'Address' objects. Select 'File->Save As' from the menu. Enter a file name, and make sure it is being saved as a template (.LWT), also make sure you know the complete path to where the template is being saved, you will need it in a minute. If you will be printing labels from more than one computer, they all need to have this template saved in the exact same location. Next you need to configure interchange... Apply the patch below to lib/UI/pages/admin/order_view.html Go to the admin section of your store. Click 'Administration'. Click 'Knar'. Click 'New Entry'. Enter 'SHIPPING_LABEL' under 'Variable name'. Enter the path to your label template under 'Variable'. (something like: 'C:\Program Files\Dymo Label\Label Files\yourlabel.LWT') Enter 'Shipping' under 'Preferences area'. Restart interchange. Last, you need to configure internet explorer to allow this... Launch Internet Explorer. Select 'Tools->Internet Options' from the menu. Click the 'Security' tab. Click 'Trusted Sites'. Click the 'Sites...' button. Uncheck 'Require server verification for sites in this zone'. Add 'http://yourservername/yourstore.cgi/admin' to the zone. Click 'OK'. Click 'Custom Level...' Set 'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe' to 'enable'. Click 'OK'. Click 'OK' again. You are done! Now when you view an order in the admin section, there ill be a link underneath the shipping address that will print a label to your labelwriter when you click on it. *** order_view.html Mon Nov 6 10:42:25 2000 --- order_view.html.new Thu Feb 15 15:22:33 2001 *************** *** 161,166 **** --- 161,181 ---- <br> <blockquote> [scratch ship_address] + [if variable SHIPPING_LABEL] + <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript> + Sub Btn1_onclick() + Dim DymoAddIn, DymoLabel + Set DymoAddIn = CreateObject("DYMO.DymoAddIn") + Set DymoLabel = CreateObject("DYMO.DymoLabels") + + DymoAddIn.Open "__SHIPPING_LABEL__" + DymoLabel.SetAddress 1,[perl]my @l = (); foreach(split("\n",$Scratch->{'ship_address'})) { s/"//g; s/\<br\>//gi; next unless $_; push(@l,"\"$_\""); }; join("+chr(10)+",@l);[/perl] + DymoAddIn.Print 1, TRUE + End Sub + </SCRIPT> + (<A HREF="#" onClick="Btn1_onclick()">print shipping label</A>) + [/if] + </blockquote> </font> -- Jason S Kohles (801)322-5512 jason@jasonkohles.com http://www.jasonkohles.com/ From: db at cyclonehq.dnsalias.net (Dan B ) Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 15:25:46 -0800 Subject: [ic] Images do not display in SSL mode At 12:43 PM 2/15/2001 -0700, you wrote: >Hello, >My Interchange site works great until the "checkout" button is clicked. >Then there are no images. >Anyone know why images do not display when the site switches into secure SSL >mode? >Is it an Apache, Linux, or Interchange configuration.

Can I dup my current Construct by just duplicating the directory and its files and modifying paths in the configuration file. + I go to Edit Item. I click on Add an item. I can't enter the SKU name. It is always something like New001. If I try to edit the data for the item, SKU is not available. Also, I just entered some junk data for the item. Something got screwed up and the Meta data for other items would not display correctly until I deleted the new item.

Yes, you could display sale prices, but I am not sure if basket.html and checkout.html will work properly. Any other opinions, anyone?

There is no "correct" way to do it that I know of. If you are to display the order amounts to the user in their currency, it would be nice to have that on record. You can't really derive it from PriceDivide, for the exchange rate may change. Probabaly the only "correct" way to do it is to double-log the price in orderline and transaction -- the actual dollar (or drachma) price at the time of order and the amount that the user was shown. Actually Interchange is quite well-suited to that -- just add a few fields to the database tables, use [item-field price] for one and [item-price] for the other, and away you go. Even if your price has discounts to where that would not work, you can do a [setlocale currency=foo]. I think it *would* be nice to log the currency locale used at the time of purchase, and I will have that field added to the next version's demo. But anyone can do that themselves. <PERSONAL-OPINION> I take just a teeny-tiny bit of offense at the American bashing (since it was the teeniest and tiniest of bashes). 8-) I tried very, very, hard to put good internationalization features in Interchange. Certainly much more than I received benefit from when I did consulting and produced most of them -- the great majority of my clients were US-based. I did it because I wanted Interchange to be international in scope. I believe it has proved to succeed at that to a pretty good degree. So in short, I paid LOTS of attention to it and I did not think of only the US. I cannot, however, be familiar with the customs of every country and the details of every business process. That is why I tried to make it flexible enough so that if you apply yourself you can do virtually anything you need to do with Interchange. </PERSONAL-OPINION> > What I am trying to figure out, is: is this a general problem?

If anyone has any constructive suggestions or work that applies to all locales, I am very ready to listen to what we can do to make Interchange even better in this regard. Customizing to one country and one business process is not that, but it is useful. The most useful thing would be a white paper on customizing Interchange to your country/locale and your business process. That can serve as a guide to people who have to go through the same thing. I believe that most of the industrialized countries in the world have had at least one Interchange catalog produced for them, and it would be nice to build a library of little documents that speak to them. I will certainly put them in the FAQ if they appear. 8-) -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> Experience is what allows you to recognize a mistake the second time you make it. -- unknown From: mikeh at minivend.com (Mike Heins ) Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 16:33:01 -0500 Subject: [ic] Tax&Shipping!!!

I have taken the middle road on this, I'm trying to disturb the system as little as possible: - Added a field in transactions to save the locale (order_locale) in which the client has posted the order. - Added a default var in catalog.cfg called "DefaultAdminUILocale" to set the default locale for the Admin interface to whichever currency/language suits you. - Modified order, order_view, customer view etc (wherever there is an amount of $ related to an order, to show $ CAN or US $ as defined in locale.txt ) - Modifying (in progress) the sales reports for the month, affiliates etc to convert currencies so that the total is represented in the "DefaultAdminUILocale" currency (converting amounts as iis needed). Todo: - Add the currency rate at the time of the transaction to the transaction table for future reference (like the reports, so the amount is not recalculated based on the new rate, which it does now in my code). - Make all the modification dependant on a var in catalog.cfg, so they can be switched on/off. They are not that complex, but there are too many files to go through to just reapply patches every time there is a new version of Interchange on the horizon. I hope to make this whole thing transparent, so that we could achieve many modes of handling of cases for that kind of problem without disburbing every catalog that has been built on it. Thanks!!!

PHPNuke uses PHP, and the conection is independent from the conection with perl used by IC. Check if your DBI:DBD is correctly installed/configured. You can probe the dsn with dbimon: # su - postgres $ dbimon dbi:Pg:dbname=test_construct or whatever your db is called. C ya!

The system is so close to working with the construct demo store yet our Cybercash test account is not being updated. We can fill out an order, submit it, receive a receipt on the web and via email, but cr.cybercash.com does not show any amounts added. In the catalog.cfg file we have only modified the following: Variable CYBER_CONFIGFILE /catalogs/zitherstore/merchant_conf Variable CYBER_VERSION 3.2 #Variable CYBER_MODE mauthonly #ifdef CYBER_MODE Variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE mauthcapture ## CreditCardAuto No CyberCash Yes #endif We have tried variations of the above theme with no real differences. When we load Interchange it reports that it found the Cybercash 3.2 modules and there is never anything in the error logs. What has to be added to the checkout.html page? We have played around with adding <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_cyber_mode" VALUE="mauthcapture"> and other fields but no differences result. If we run the test web site that the Cybercash MCK kit loaded and run transactions through it then everything updates on the cybercash web site just fine. I assume we are missing a simple step. We have looked through the mail list archives rigorously but it is hard to determine what is applicable with all the different versions of Cybercash and Interchange. It is a shame there is no detailed how-to on this subject, especially with how many postings there are on this subject. I look forward to any obvious solutions that we have missed. Thank you in advance.

Be sure to include the globalsub definition in your interchange.cfg file: #include globalsub/authorizenet 2. Be sure to create the globalsub directory and move the authorizenet file into that directory. 3. Test your authorizenet module as follows: - create a copy - edit the copy to remove the globalsub <<EOF line and the EOF line near the bottom - run perl against the module: perl testfilename - fix any errors in the module. Install any perl modules that are called for. - make the same fixes to your actual authorizenet file - try again Step 3 was the one that showed me my problems. If the globalsub does not compile properly, for any reason, you will get the "BAD GLOBALSUB" error. So, find the errors and fix them.

Something similar happened to me about a month or so ago. After adding a shipping method I could admin other sections but not shipping - it would cause a serious drain on my server (I don't think it died, but restarting manually didn't help, I compared my shipping.asc to the one in construct and saw that my file had a long line of nonsense characters at the beginning. I removed it and everything - including my own shipping additions - were fine. This line was what accounted for the large size of shipping.asc. Hope this helps! John Nealy.

[root@www bin]# pwd /usr/lib/interchange/bin [root@www bin]# ./makecat Select a short, mnemonic name for the catalog. This will be used to set the defaults for naming the catalog, executable, and directory, so you will have to type in this name frequently. NOTE: This will be the name of 'vlink' or 'tlink', the link CGI program. Depending on your CGI setup, it may also have the extension .cgi added. If you are doing the demo for the first time, you might use "construct". Catalog name? demo makecat -- Interchange catalog installation program. *** We will be making a catalog named 'demo'. *** If you are using the Apache or NCSA web server, Interchange can set some of the default parameters for you by reading the file. If you use the Netscape Enterprise server or other non-NCSA HTTP server, enter 'none' -- the information, if any, will not be useful. Try using the UP arrow at some of the prompts -- you have the Term::ReadLine module installed, and Interchange may find some default values in your HTTP server configuration file. You can cycle among them with the UP and DOWN arrows. Enter path to httpd.conf file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ######### BEGINNING CATALOG CONFIGURATION ######### During many of the following operations, defaults are placed in a buffer for you. You may use the up and down arrows to toggle between the defaults. If you made a mistake on a *previous* entry and realize that in a later one, if you enter ONLY an @ sign and press return you should be returned to the previous step. # The server name, something like: www.company.com # www.company.com:8000 # www.company.com/~yourname # Server name? www.yourname.com # The type of demo catalog to use. The standard one distributed is: # # construct # # If you have defined your own custom template catalog, # you can enter its name. # # If you are new to Interchange and not a sophisticated web designer, # use "construct" to start with. DemoType? construct # The type of permission structure for multiple user catalogs. # Select M for each user in own group (with interchange user in group) # G for all users in group of interchange user # U for all catalogs owned by interchange user (must be catuser as well) # # M is recommended, G works for most installations. permtype? M # The user name the Interchange server runs under on this machine. This # should not be the same as the user that runs the HTTP server (i.e. # NOT nobody). # InterchangeUser? interch # # The user name the catalog will be owned by. # CatUser? interch # The group name the server-owned files should be set to. This is # only important if Interchange catalogs will be owned by multiple users # and the group to be used is not the default for the catalog user. # # Normally this is left blank. # InterchangeGroup? # The email address where orders for this catalog should go. # To have a secure catalog, either this should be a local user name and # not go over the Internet -- or use the PGP option. # MailOrderTo? admin@yourname.com # Where the Interchange files for this catalog will go, pages, # products, config and all. This should not be in HTML document # space! Usually a 'catalogs' directory below your home directory # works well. Remember, you will want a test catalog and an online # catalog. # CatRoot? /var/lib/interchange/demo # The location of the normal CGI directory. This is a # file path, not a script alias. # # If all of your CGI programs must end in .cgi, this is # should be the same as your HTML directory. # CgiDir? /home/httpd/cgi-bin # The URL location of the CGI program, without the http:// # or server name. # # http://www.virtual.com/cgi-bin/prog # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # # http://www.virtual.com/program.cgi # ^^^^^^^^^^^^ # CgiUrl? /cgi-bin/demo # # Additional URL locations for the CGI program, as with CgiUrl. # This is used when calling the catalog from more than one place, # perhaps because your secure server is not the same name as the # non-secure one. # # http://www.secure.domain/secure-bin/prog # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # # We set it to the name of the catalog by default to enable the # internal HTTP server. # Aliases? /demo # The base directory for HTML for this (possibly virtual) domain. # This is a directory path name, not a URL -- it is your HTML # directory. # DocumentRoot? /home/httpd/html # Where the sample HTML files (not Interchange pages) should be installed. # There is a difference. Usually a subdirectory of your HTML directory. # SampleHtml? /home/httpd/html/demo # Where the image files should be copied. A directory path # name, not a URL. # ImageDir? /home/httpd/html/demo/images # The URL base for the sample images. Sets the ImageDir # directive in the catalog configuration file. This is a URL # fragment, not a directory or file name. # # <IMG SRC="/construct/images/icon.gif"> # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # ImageUrl? /demo/images Interchange can use either UNIX- or internet-domain sockets. Most ISPs would prefer UNIX mode, and it is more secure. If you already have a program there, or use a common program and the FullURL directive, select NONE. You will then need to copy the program by hand or otherwise ensure its presence. (You can use the up/down arrows to toggle). INET or UNIX mode? UNIX Do you use CGIWRAP or SUEXEC? n Checking directories........................................mkdir /var/lib/interchange/demo mkdir /home/httpd/html/demo mkdir /home/httpd/html/demo/images done. Copying demo files..........................................found more to ask. Your company name: ...............................Construct Something Interchange has a workable internal database, but many things will work better (and a few worse) if you use a SQL database. Interchange can configure MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle in a test configuration. Set to 1 if you want to use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle: ..1 You can select this to use MySQL in your test catalog. Careful! This requires the ability to create a database named "test_construct", and is highly dependent on your Perl and MySQL configuration. Don't be too surprised if this doesn't work. Set to 1 if you want to use MySQL: ...............1 Database to use (will be created): ...............test_demo DBI DSN to use: ..................................dbi:mysql:test_demo Username for MySQL (if any): ..................... Password for MySQL (if any): ..................... We can try and use mysqladmin to create the database in MySQL. In many default MySQL distributions, any user can create a database beginning with "test". Use the next option to add parameters. If your MySQL is password-protected (and you know the password) you may want to add "-u root -p". Set to 1 to create 'test_demo' with mysqladmin: ..1 To create the database you may need to supply a password and username. To do that, add the option "-u USERNAME -p", where USERNAME is a MySQL user with permission to create databases. This is often the user "root". Extra options for creation: ...................... You can use Interchange's companion configuration interface, to do upload/download of files, manipulation of the database, reconfiguration of the catalog, and much more. To enable the UI, you will need a "super-user" account name that has full access. The initial password is "pass". CHANGE IT! You can do this by going to the admin menu and selecting the superuser and then "Change password". Account name that will control this catalog: .....interchange Administrative password: .........................pass Found system commands to run. Since you selected the MySQL option, you need to create a database named "test_demo". In a default MySQL configuration, any user may create and drop and modify test_* databases, but some administrators disable this. run "mysqladmin create test_demo"? y Database "test_demo" created. done. Moving link, /home/httpd/cgi-bin/demo exists, overwrite? ...y done. Copying share/ files to /home/httpd/html....................done. Moving HTML files to /home/httpd/html/demo..................done. Moving image files to /home/httpd/html/demo/images..........done. Found additional system commands to run. To enable image upload feature, you need to make a symbolic link of the image base directory into your catalog directory. run "ln -s /home/httpd/html/demo/images /var/lib/interchange/demo"? y Add catalog to interchange.cfg? y Done with installation. If my reading of your input is correct, you should be able to access the demo catalog with the following URL: http://www.yourname.com/demo In any case, you should get direct access at: http://www.yourname.com/cgi-bin/demo That is, after you START or RESTART the Interchange server. 8-) It is best done with: su -c "/usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange -r" interch For session expiration, you might want to place a line like this in your crontab: 44 4 * * * /usr/lib/interchange/bin/expireall -r It will prevent the session databases from getting too large. [root@www bin]# NOW Check that the database is created. However no tables are created until after running /usr/sbin/interchange -r If you get a config error in this command most likely the tables will not be created in the database. The reasons I have found are the MySQL DBI connections are not working. Trying reinstalling them [root@www bin]# mysql mysql> show databases; +-------------+ | Database | +-------------+ | contact | | mysql | | samp_db | | test_demo | +-------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> quit [root@www bin]# su - interch [interch@www interchange]$ /usr/sbin/interchange -r [interch@www interchange]$exit [root@www bin]# mysql [root@www bin]# mysql> use test_demo Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Database changed mysql> show tables; +---------------------+ | Tables in test_demo | +---------------------+ | affiliate | | area | | cat | | country | | gift_certs | | inventory | | merchandising | | order_returns | | orderline | | pricing | | products | | recurring_items | | recurring_orders | | ship_addresses | | transactions | | userdb | +---------------------+ 16 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> quit [interch@www bin]$ At this point you should be up and running.

then dies A few months ago I posted a message concerning a problem I had with running interchange; it would install fine, run fine, but then mysteriously disappear after about 12 seconds or so (as detailed in the FAQ). After having that problem (on my desktop Mandrake 7.1 box), I tried installing it on my (Mandrake 7.2 pre-release code) laptop. It worked perfectly, albeit a little slowly (does Interchange eat RAM or what?), and therefore did not persist in trying to fix the problem on my desktop machine. However, I was recently forced to wipe and re-install my laptop machine (due to user error!). I installed Interchange, on the same pre-release code as before, and encountered the same problem. The only difference between the first and second install is that I tried installing the RPM package first, as I had on my desktop. Thinking that this may be the cause of the problem I erased the RPM first and manually deleted the folders that it said it could not. I then installed the tarball version, but encountered the exact same problem as I encountered on my desktop. Has the RPM left unidentified some trace that is upsetting the tarball version? Do I have to totally wipe my laptop and start *again*? This is getting rather like Windoze... :-( Any comments or suggestions most appreciated...

Finally I manage to fix it. It was as simple as that the installation scripts of Interchange depend on the messages answered by the operating system. If you use a localized system that display messages in a locale other than "C", you are in trouble. Just set the environment variable LC_MESSAGES to "C" and you will make your test succeed. Cheers.

Maybe if you can post some error messages it'll be clearer what's going on.

For example I read on the German RedHat site, that based on RedHat 6.1 there is a development effort with SAP to produce a RedHat Enterprise Version 1.0 which is optimized for usage with the SAP R/3 system. http://www.redhat.de/products/linux/sap.php3 Doesn't it seem possible therefore to imagine that IC will have an interface to SAP R/3 one day ? That IC will have a German documentation ? Apparently there is a German Installation Manual for the RedHat distro now available in Germany. Considering that there are Germans like Stefan Hornburg interested and able to help etc., what is Mike Heins' best advice for Germans to support RedHat's internationalization efforts ? Shouldn't questions like that be coordinated with RedHat's German office ? birgitt From: j-nicholas at home.com (John Nicholas ) Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 12:33:47 -0600 Subject: [ic] Permissions clarification I am still not clear on the proper permissions setup for Interchange. I installed Interchange as root and I intend to use Postgres with at least some catalogs. I have these directories that all are related to Interchange: /usr/local/interchange/ /usr/local/apache/catalogs/ /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ Prior to interchange I had a user called "webworker" that I used for editing files in htdocs and cgi-bin (who owned both directories). I had a postgres user called "postgres" that cgi's used to connect to Postgres. I created a new "interch" user for interchange to use. When I run makecat it seems to try to write to all 4 of the above directories and always fails with a "permission denied". If I try to use Postgres it also fails saying that user can't create directories even though it asked for the name of the postgres user. If I makecat from a user with Postgres permissions that step completes. The "construct" demo installed once and the htdocs files are owned by "webworker" and the files in catalogs and cgi-bin/mystore are owned by "interch" (the cgi-bin itself is owned by "webworker"). What is the proper user to run makecat? Should all 4 of the above directories be owned by the same user? Does the user you use to create catalogs need to be a postgres user or should makecat be able to use the postgres account?

Raymond From: soudant at home.nl (Guy Soudant ) Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 22:18:27 +0100 Subject: [ic] Secure server problem Hi All, I run the 4.6.1 interchange server, and it all works fine. But when I try to run interchange through a secure server, I get a 404 Error. The secure server itself works fine, and I can browse all folders on the secure server (has been activated for test purposes). Note, however, that the secure server displayes the regular server through a secure connection. I did notice, however, that the IP addresses of the regular server and the secure server are different, but since the hosting provider has installed the application themselves on two different virtual servers (two different IP's), it should work. I read that it may be necessary to set some settings in the catalog.cfg and/or the minivend.cfg (a file I cannot find; only minivend file I can find is a "shortcut" to a interchange file), but I cannot find the location where to change / add them. Can someone be so kind as to indicate where I need to change things to get this secure server to work.

The question is this: Is there a way to set the search page to display the picture and description. So that it is not neccesary to click to the title to view the picture and information? Thanks for all of the help.

Any comments? > Thanks! > Joachim Thanks, Joachim, I don't have any problems with "Europeanization" , believe me. :-) Just concluded from previous posts, that there is some interest in some sort of cooperation and thought exchange about SAP R/3, tax and translation issues from the side of some list members. My admittedly not so clever mind concluded that those issues are not only of interest for some users to whom MH has pointed out that IC is flexible enough to offer a user ways to solve these issues by themselves. (I consider this a subtle hint that solving those issues belongs into the realm of "services", a user would normally pay for, in these days, I guess, you would pay RedHat nowadays). Thirdly, Stefan had indicated, that he looks for some kind of cooperation. Now, even you come up and try to test the waters for some more feedback. And I, old lady that I am, just wanted to play a little bit of a matchmaker, and get some list members on the nerves with my anti- U.S.-Europe-bashing efforts to encourage make-up and kiss efforts across the Atlantik. (Sigh, matchmaking is really no good business at all these days). Good luck with your project, Joachim.

Does that make things a bit clearer? We move catalogs around all the time, but I'd guess we are always restarting minivend anyway because something "bigger" is happening. Are you saying you want same catalog on multiple physical boxes with the same ip address? I think there is email in archive from Mike H about doing that. Still, I'm not clear on what is a "virtual machine"? An instance of an entire machine (eg 10,000 virtual machines on S/390 - drool) that amounts to another box or just an IP alias?

What I would like to be able to choose a group of IP addresses or machine names and have them all run the same catalog. Machine1 is the orginal machine. I would like to be able to choose from every IP address aliased to the one physical address and run the interchange server on each of them. I may have 10,000 virtual machines from the one physical interface, but I only have 9,900 unique IP address or DNS entries. What I would like to do is choose Name1, Name2, Name3,... or WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZ1, WWW.XXX.ZZ2, WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZ3,... where each of these machines has only one location for the catalog. i.e. from the catalog.cfg file Variable SERVER_NAME machine1, machine2, machine3, machine4, ... Variable SERVER_NAME host1, host2, host3, host4, ... and the same for other variables like Variable SECURE_SERVER http://machine1, http://machine2, ... Variable SAMPLEURL http://machine1/construct, http://machine2/construct, ... As I understand now I have to have a seperate catalog.cfg file for each one, but they all have only one location with the same catalog.cfg. I can change the catalog.cfg to work with any one of the virtual hosts, but not more than one. So I am asking to be able to have more than one. These may have all the same IP address for each host, but I want to select from a group of hosts that all have the exact same location for catalog.cfg. I do not get anything in the logs. I just get page not found error from the webserver when I try http://host2/cgi-bin/user_store if I have catalog.cfg configured for host1. Note the webserver is looking at the same location for each. Does that make it clearer?

I am still very unclear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to use the same catalog.cfg file, then you will need to have a way to determine what the outputted URL is for that machine. You may not know that you can do something like: interchange -restart construct:VendURL=http://machine1/cgi/script and interchange -restart construct:VendURL=http://machine2/cgi/script etc. The other possible way is to have a separate ConfDir (i.e. /usr/local/interchange/etc) for each machine, and use the etc/construct.after configuration file to modify configuration.

I have a Interchange process running on a single machine that handles 4 catalogs, each of which has it's own website and corresponding IP address. My machine responds to all four ip addresses. Each website simply connects to the interchange process running on "localhost" which is 127.0.0.1 .. The Interchange process only listens on 127.0.0.1. Of course, I could run an arbitrary number of websites on that single machine, each utilizing the single Interchange process. The IP address of the website is inconsequential to Interchange. Remember, that Interchange is listening on 127.0.0.1, thus ANY website (regardless of the address it responds to) on the SAME machine, can contact 127.0.0.1 for Interchange services. NOW, if you have MULTIPLE web servers that provide web services for a SINGLE website, that is you're distributing the load for a web site across multiple machines, you have two solutions (as I see it): 1: Create a NFS (or similar) filesystem that can be mounted over a network. On machines that serve requests for the website, mount this common filesystem. Now, put the Catalog for the website these machines service on that common filesystem (or partition). Now, on each machine, run a copy of Interchange and configure it to use the catalog on this common filesystem. - This will ensure that all webservers in this distributed configuration use the same catalog information, and same user database. Thus if a user places a item in his cart on web server one, he can do the checkout process on web server two because they both share his personal information (and the same catalog). 2: There are variants of the above approach. However, you must ensure that all web servers use the common user database and order routing system. Ways to do this: - Use a non-flat-file sessions database. I.e.: Use a common MySQL/Whatever database that all web servers connect to when obtaining session information. - Have many web servers provide information about your products, but only one that allows users to 'check-out' or make their purchases. This will allow you to concentrate whatever is necessary to complete your purchase transaction in one location (i.e.: connecting to an outside payment organization, or incrementing a single order counter). - Consider upgrading your equipment if it's not appropriate for the level of traffic your site is receiving. While Interchange is quite good, it can only perform within the limitations of your hardware. Don't run a popular site with 64 MB ram. Use 1 GB. Don't save session information to a machine that's already overloaded, purchase a new one for this task... Consider all weak links in your setup, whether they are machines, network connections, software, or peculiarities in the checkout system that are specific to your business. But remember, if you do have more than one web server servicing a single website, you absolutely MUST ensure that all of the web servers use common session information. -- Jeff Carnahan - jcarnahan@networq.com From: interchange at my-school.com (IC-Admin ) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 14:56:04 -0500 (EST) Subject: [ic] New Feature Multiple DNS-entries/IP's/aliases from interchange.

That is how I did it to start but when I try to check-out from a brwoser not on the machine running https://127.0.0.1/ I would get pages not available. I then put in the address of https:/host.domain.com/.... for the secure server and it worked. I do have Apache-SSL on 127.0.0.1 which works when I check it from a X-window as I mention above. I thought the error from browers was because the machine I was running the browser on did not have a local webserver running. > The IP address of the website is inconsequential to Interchange.

That is what I am doing wrong. I am trying to go from all locations with the https://127.0.0.1 which I could only get to work when I was on the machine. I then tried to use multiple IP's.

I agree. Thanks. I think I know where I made my mistake. It was trying to distribute check-out to many and I was failing there.

That is it. It uses a select * from something to get the field names. The solution is to update to Interchange 4.6.3, where if you are using MySQL it will use a "limit 1" to keep that time to the minimum.

Look into the file results.html and flypage.html and you get the picture. What I mean is, if you want to display the image and the description in your results page, add some codes to display that in your results page. For example, if your results page has a code like [item-field title] you can add a code like [item-field description] to display the description, if you have a column "description" in you product database and so on. If you have a column image to display the image, you can use codes like [if-field image] <IMG SRC="cover/[item-code].jpg" WIDTH=200> [else] <IMG SRC="cover/dummygif.gif" WIDTH=150> [/else] [/if] Make sure, you use the right if condition (for example [if-loop-data table field], [if file file.gif], [if-sql-field xyz] and so on) to display image or description.

But when I try to chech out using a secure server, I get a 404 Error. The secure server itself works fine, and I can browse all folders on the secure server (has been activated for test purposes). Note, however, that the contents of the secure server arethe same as the regular server. I did notice, however, that the IP addresses of the regular server and the secure server are different, but since the hosting provider has installed the application themselves on two different virtual servers (two different IP's), it should work. I read that it may be necessary to set some settings in the catalog.cfg and/or the minivend.cfg (a file I cannot find; only minivend file I can find is a "shortcut" to a interchange file), but I cannot find the location where to change / add them. Is there anyone who knows what I did wrong and how I can get this secure server to work properly with Interchange. I simply cannot figure out why I get this error. Help highly appreciated.

It's created during the RPM build process from the file in SPECS/interchange.spec. I don't think you want to deal with that. The easiest thing would probably be to install the RPM, copy away the script from /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange to somewhere else, then uninstall the RPM. Then you'd need to modify the script to work for wherever you installed Interchange on your system. Interchange runs on most any Unix, but such boot scripts are pretty platform-specific, which is why we don't install something like that when you do a custom install.

Before you say, "Bull", please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are "absolutely no laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost". DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: "Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received total $ 610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in". Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here is another testimonial: "This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail, I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa... 3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything." More testimonials later but first, ****** PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE ******* $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! INSTRUCTIONS: **** Order all five reports shown on the list below. **** For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems. **** When you place your order, make sure you order each of the five reports. You will need all five reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00. **** Within a few days, you will receive, via e-mail, each of the five reports from these five different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. Also, make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk in case something happen to your computer. ****. IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than what is instructed below in steps 1 through 6 or you will loose out on majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter, it will NOT work! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So, Do not try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward! 1. After you have ordered all five reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune. 2.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT # 5. 3.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4. 4.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3. 5.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2 6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position. PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY ! ========================================================= Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY ============================================ let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2% response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails, only 0.2% responded with orders. That's = 100 people responded and ordered Report # 2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that are 1000 orders for Report # 3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that are 10,000 orders for Report # 4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to that are 100,000 orders for Report # 5. THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH = $500,000.00 (half million). Your total income in this example is: 1... $50 + 2... $500 + 3... $5,000 + 4... $50,000 + 5... $500,000 ......... Grand Total = $555,550.00 NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY! ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone, or half or even one fourth of those people mailed 100,000 e-mails each or more? There are over 250 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! METHOD # 2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET =================================================== Advertising on the net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing many free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD # 2 as you go along. For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it. Always provide same day service on all orders. This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise until they receive the report. _____________________ AVAILABLE REPORTS_____________________ ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least two sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW: ============================================== REPORT #1, "The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk E-mail on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Ari Indra Unit 10 9 Denbigh Road Armadale Victoria 3143 Australia don't forget to provide a real e-mail address to receive the reports ============================================== REPORT #2 "The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Dave Wheeler 65 Hume Street Crows Nest NSW, 2065 Australia ============================================== REPORT #3 "The Secrets to Multilevel Marketing on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Les Turner 39 Danesford Hollinswood Telford Shropshire England Tf3 2dy ============================================== REPORT #4 "How to become a Millionaire utilizing the Power of Multilevel Marketing and the Internet" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: Tina East 26 Pardoners Tale Lane Felton, DE 19943 ============================================== REPORT #5 "How to SEND 1,000,000 e-mails for FREE" ORDER REPORT #5 FROM: Mark Hamlin 627 Vale Cresent Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada P7C-2G2 ============================================== There are currently more than 250,000,000 people online worldwide! $$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$ Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: If you do not receive at least 10 orders for Report #1 within 2 weeks, continue sending e-mails until you do. After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that you should receive 100 orders or more for REPORT # 2. If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report # 2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a different report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME, SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business! ____________________________________________________ FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: You have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with NO RISK and JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can make more money in the next few weeks and months than you have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have put your name and address in Report #1 and moved others to #2...........# 5 as instructed above. One of the people you send this to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your name will be on every one of them. Remember though, the more you send out the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. IT IS UP TO YOU NOW ! ************** MORE TESTIMONIALS **************** "My name is Mitchell. My wife , Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received this program I grumbled to Jody about receiving ''junk mail''. I made fun of the whole thing, spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I ''knew'' it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my supposed intelligence and few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old ''I told you so'' on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh was on me! Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she had received a total of $ 147,200.00 all cash! I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her ''hobby''." Mitchell Wolf, Chicago, Illinois ------------------------------------------------------------ "Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back. I was surprised when I found my medium size post office box crammed with orders. I made $319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return and so big." Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------- "I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed again by someone else.........11 months passed then it luckily came again...... I did not delete this one! I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the money came within 22 weeks". Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y. ---------------------------------------------------- "It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money with little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions carefully and within 10 days the money started to come in. My first month I made $ 20,560.00 and by the end of third month my total cash count was $ 362,840.00. Life is beautiful, Thanx to internet".

But problem here is that this would only translate the problem. I could show the category only to users that have the required field in their userdb, but then I have to figure out a way to password-protect them from adding this field. Any user should be able to get access if they have the password. So I think I need a way to check if a user has allready entered a password, and otherwise serve a login-form if they click the category.

Marcelo, Right click on an image that is not showing up and copy the path into a new browser, does it show up in there?

Keep in mind that https://foo and http://foo are different servers. You mentioned you have the symbolic link set up properly but perhaps you can test it some more. You should also make sure that you have Options FollowSymlinks enabled. Otherwise you'll be dead in the water.

Then you need a price selection field for the dealer in userdb.txt - lets call this pricefield. It would contain the full name of the price field to use for that dealer (price2, price3 or price4). Then you can do this: Autoload <<EOR [perl] if($Scratch->{dealer}) { $Config->{PriceField} = $Values->{pricefield}; } [/perl] ...if you need to do anything more complicated, use CommonAdjust. - Ed L. >regards joe- >US Video Center Medien GmbH >Heimsheimer Str 22 >70499 Stuttgart > >Tel 0711 880252 0 >Fax 0711 880252 22 >Email joachim.richter@usvideocenter.de > > >_______________________________________________ >Interchange-users mailing list >Interchange-users@lists.akopia.com >http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: valankar at nmo.net (Lord Valanankar ) Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 15:08:08 -0500 Subject: [ic] Search box perversion Hi Everyone.

Note that I'm > not talking about the user's login name/password. How about this... You have users pick items that go into their own special catalog. You can do this by extending the user database to include product number specific to that user or create a new table keyed on the user name which contains catalog information. Now, when the user logs in with their password (you can check this easily - in mv it was mv_login I'm guessing its ic_login now if its true then do this if not bounce them to a login page) it reads this table and builds a catalog specifically from those items. Anything you can do in the main catalog you'd be able to do in this one. Its pretty easy actually once you start using fields from the user catalog as keys in the main product catalog. People wouldn't be able to view this user catalog without knowing the proper login name and password which would thus protect it. Whats even cooler is that if the row keyed on the user name is defined in the user catalog datebase then it will display products. If not then it will display account information (address, billing, past orders and so forth) or some such thing like that. That way people can create a public catalog and a private account. You can also make it so that they can't create a public catalog without filling in all of the necessary account information by burying that process in the private account page. I hope some of this makes sense. I'm being a little disjointed with my descriptions. I've actually implemented a lot of this stuff in minivend. It not a difficult task once you really wrap your head around the way you actually access tables. You'll need to drop into perl for some of this but nothing major. Good luck.

The installation is typical. There were no special provisions. That having been said, if you are an experienced Unix admin I advise you to "run like the wind". Virtual hosting is setup for people who don't know how or don't want to actually manage their own box. If you do know how and want to, very often the virtual hosting gets in the way of the system administration you want to do. Let's say you want to upgrade from sendmail 8.9.x to 8.10.x. It may or may not work. Let's say you want to change from using ssh.com's libssl to openssl? It may or may not work. The point is that virtual hosting is _not_ exactly like dedicated hosting just with sharing CPU. The virtual hosting software _does_ get in the way of an experienced admin. At least this was true with the Ensim hosting software. -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug@lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait.

I suppose it is also possible that the source file that is needed but missing is called products.txt and the error message is wrong (in older versions of Minivend the requirement for products.asc was apparently hard-coded, perhaps some of the error message text was as well).

If you My guess is that he's a consultant running this on a remote server at an ISP and therefore isn't actually involved with any of the admin issues. What bothers me is that someone had to ask what was necessary for it to run in a virtual hosting environment. However, I have 2 sites at Pair.com. Its all virtual hosting and, I believe, IPless as well. Works without a hitch.

What I meant for you to do was take the link that the image is trying to pull, and place it in it's own browser with the https and see if it comes out. This was to demonstrate that this is not an IC problem, it's a symbolic link problem. Play with your url in a browser (leave IC out of this for a bit) and see what link you need to put in the browser (with https) to get it to pull an image up. Once you have done that you should be able to change your symbolic links or put a ImageDirSecure that is correct. > The symbolic link in the /var/lib/interchange/images is linked with > /usr/lib/stronghold/htdocs/www.portaldavila.com.br/portal1/images that is > were the images are located. This one is there to allow uploading of images or sharing of images that are used across catalogs (can't remember which it is). This link should not have to do with your https. Does the directory for the secure virtual host match the directory for the non-secure virtual host? If it does not then the ImageDirSecure will be needed. > My catalog.cfg is: > > #Variable SERVER_NAME www.portaldavila.com.br > #Variable CGI_URL /cgi-bin/portal1 > Variable SECURE_SERVER https://www.portaldavila.com.br > #Variable ORDERS_TO interch > Variable IMAGE_DIR /portal1/images > #Variable DOCROOT > /usr/lib/stronghold/htdocs/www.portaldavila.com.br > #Variable SAMPLEHTML > /usr/lib/stronghold/htdocs/www.portaldavila.com.br/portal1 > #Variable SAMPLEURL http://www.portaldavila.com.br/portal1 > > and I put the imgdirsecure but nothing happens: > > ## Set the image path for relative images > ImageDirSecure https://__SERVER_NAME____IMAGE_DIR__/ > ImageDir __IMAGE_DIR__/ > ImageDirInternal http://__SERVER_NAME____IMAGE_DIR__/ > > Thank you for your help in advance. > > Marcelo This looks like a problem with either a symbolic link (which links image directories across virtual hosts, or a problem with stronghold's config and how the http and https virtual hosts are setup.

Right after I installed a new Thawte SSL server certificate and changed my configuration to use the secure server, I began having problems with checkout. When I click the submit button on my checkout page I receive a 'page cannot be displayed' error from IE. If I hit the back button and resubmit, it usually works. Sometimes I have to submit/back 3 or 4 times before it will go through. The problem happens consistently on a machine with IE 5.0. I experienced the problem briefly on another machine with IE 5.5 but the problem appears to have gone away. I have not been able to reproduce the problem with that latest version of Netscape. Has any one expierenced this type of problem? I searched the archive and found several discussions related to loosing the contents of a basket, but none with the kinds of problems I'm having. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This seems a nice solution wich I haven't thought of yet. Alhough it solves the problem on a "per-user" basis.I think I have the beginning of a solution to do this on a "per-catalog" basis, so the administrator can easily make a new password protected category: see bottom of this mail. >Whats even cooler is that if the row keyed on the >user name is defined in the user catalog datebase >then it will display products.

What exactly do you mean by "if the row keyed on the user name is defined in the user catalog database"? Do you mean that it's possible to build pages based on the contents of a user's database. That's also very nice, your email allready suceeded in making me wanna scream "eureka" much harder than archimedes when he discovered his law :-) >I hope some of this makes sense.

This is a solution I figured out. I haven't tried it out yet, I will only do that in a few weeks, after figuring everything out and then some snowboarding :-) First I make a few results pages that are each build from another productsdb: results1.html <- products1.txt results2.html <- products2.txt ... Now I can easily controll access to all these results pages using the userdb-acl option from the docs: Their acl record only get's set for a results page when they entered a password they receive by normal mail: [if value accesspassword=passwordreceivedbymail] [userdb function=set_acl location="pages/results1.html"] [else] goto password-page [/else] [/if] This has the advantages that the shop-administrator can easily make a new category, and send the password for it by normal mail. He can also reserve items for this category. eg. he takes out 5 shirts from products.txt and puts it in products1.txt (changing only the sku, so that I have no problem with quantities. Now I only need to figure out how I can easily let the admin copy items from one database to another, but I think [export] is going to be of some help here. And also how I can make this thing a little bit more easy by not making 20 results pages but combining everything in 1 page. I hope all this makes sense, and maybe hear some remarks on this. thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

OK, I'll bite. Maybe that way some of the more serious IC developers can studiously ignore this thread. Have you downloaded and looked at Interchange? We're talking about close to 2MB and 55,000 lines of perl code. This represents _years_ of effort (and probably tens of years of man-effort).

In the end I was able to cut the number of lines in half (and not just by removing comments); it was just really bad code. Assuming Mike and company could work twice as fast as I did. That would still be 25 months of work. Even if they worked three times as fast as I did it would still be almost 20 months. That's two _years_ just to be caught up to where we are today. Even if they could work four times as fast as I did it would still be a year. I'm not setting myself up here as some great programmer; I"m just being realistic. How many developers that know both perl and php are going to be working on the port full-time? How many developers work on IC as it is now full-time? I'm betting there's not many more than one that works full-time on the core library. And what would all this effort gain? Would more developers be attracted to it? Would it run faster?

I am a man, and I spent 5 years on it, not to mention the work done by others. It would not be reasonable to write in PHP for several reasons, not the least of which is that PHP is nowhere near as powerful as Perl from an architectural perspective. The good news is I just put the first take on an Interchange SOAP server in the dev branch, and it looks like the next version of Interchange will be pretty easy to talk to with PHP, Python, or whatever the language of the week is. It also includes a SOAP client (based on the excellent SOAP::Lite module by Paul Kulchenko) which can talk to any other application that talks SOAP. Preliminary work indicates it will be able to serve hundreds of RPC calls per second on a fairly fast machine, which means it will be useful for quite a few things.

As far as I know, up til MiniVend merged with Akopia, Mike Heins worked alone on the code for around five years. (Though he is always very generous to acknowledge even the tiniest itsy bit of help he got from others, but it looked to me as if it was not substantial amount of code added by others). I remember that shortly before Tallyman merged with MV, it was already 33 000 lines. I have never checked back after that. But out of curiosity I would like to know how many of the 55 000 lines are lines from the former Tallyman code and how many people have worked on that one for how long a time period. I never found that exactly described somewhere and didn't try to figure it out myself. I like to know how much lines Mike Heins did wrote per day on an average and if that is a somewhat an extraordinary performance. Just wonder what leading developers in other projects like KDE, Gnome or Apache churn out, though I guess quantity alone doesn't say much without considering quality and I guess it's dependent on the language. The reason I am asking is because (being obviously not a programmer and only lurking here out of being an old loyal fan of Minivend) some people have tried to ridicule me in the past in private email of "defending" Minivend and Mike Heins in the past. I felt somewhat angry about it and helpless, because I had no comparison to other developer's achievements and could never judge it. Luckily now as the code is under RedHat's umbrella, I feel a little bit better, as my judgement was obviously not so bad. But I don't forget those guys who tried to ridicule me. May be someone likes to answer that one. It's so hard for a non programmer to judge a program and a programmer. Anyhow, I think it's nice that you spoke up the way you did, Doug.

This allows those selling Christmas items to mark it as "off-season" and not appear in the catalogs for a certain period of time.

I think the real issue that negates any possibility of Interchange being recoded in php is that php cannot be used to create a daemon or any other type of non-web-based application. This would make it impossible to recode interchange in php. One could probably recode the vlink/tlink CGI to run in php, though.

If you use table=product_cat the product_cat table must exist as *an Interchange database table*. Whether it exists as a MySQL database table is not meaningful. Sounds like you might want: [perl table=products] # FORGET the interpolate=1 my $db = $Db{products} or return 'no products table!'; my $set = $db->query('select * from product_cat') or return 'query failed!'; Remember, typing in an error check takes 10 seconds -- trying to debug can take hours.

(I'll hit you both in one message) I guess this is part of the whole point. I don't have one, nore do I define one to be used. The tutorial specifies the catalog.cfg as up above. The tutorial defines that the search call with fi be as the following line... [set testname]su=yes/fi=products/sf=sku/sf=description[/set] I tried to set it to.. [set testname]su=yes/fi=products.txt/sf=sku/sf=description[/set] Restarted the Daemon and everything.. no go. (Heck I even rebooted the box just to be sure) It's acting like interchange is still hard coded to look for a .asc file as Ed had mentioned in his post earlier. My problem is I have no idea what's suppost to in the asc file yet. (Still a newbie) Ed also asked if I was using an older catalog.cfg from an earlier version of Interchange/Minivend. The answer is no. I installed the latest RPM that was posted sometime this month. I have not run the Makecat command, instead I am following the Catalog Building Tutorial which for those who don't know is a new one that walks a newbie through the manual way of building the needed directories and files to make the most basic of sites. I have tried searching on the sku number in the database and for the parts of the description field of the products.txt file. No matter what I put in I simply get a message that interchange couldn't find any match and the error log has mentions the missing .asc file. 0==----------=^=----------==0 Valankar (aka Dwagon) "Just remember: If life didn't suck we would all fly off the earth."

Of course, it is worthy of discussion, but I haven't made a mall ever, so the only things I can point to, are the links to posts of people who have installed malls successfully, and from how I read them it is possible, without knowing any nitty, gritty details. May be those links give you more courage.

I try to tell people this -- but it is not popular. The key thing is defining the mall process. Once that is done, the actual mechanics of doing the mall are not that hard. For instance, with searching it is best to build an external index file on a periodic basis. Not only for the ability to map searches, but for performance. This is usually a simple custom external script run periodically by cron. The hard parts are the rules for running the mall, and defining what you will and will not support. Once you have done that, you have something. Until you have done it, you have nothing. I know that some people would say "but that is what *you* are there for!" (Meaning me and my Red Hat compatriots.) Well, all I know is that if I defined this for people the next 500 emails I would get would be "well, that is sort of good but I need to do this or that" or "why did you do it this way??!!!?". And I wouldn't have any answer. It is just like shipping except more complicated -- there is no way to take all of the possibilities into account. If there were, there would be a "MallMaster" piece of software that would do it all for you. There ain't no such beast, and I won't hold my breath for one to appear. 8-) Sorry, but it is less work to define your business process then tailor a flexible piece of software to it.

My preliminary theory is that the best solution is to force the user through the checkout process for each vendor (a vendor being a person with an interchange catalog) who has an item in the user's cart, perhaps using some sort of shared customer database so that address and other billing info would not have to be reentered across the disparate checkouts. Or perhaps it will be easier to just offer a "mass search" capability and then make the user check out before moving to the next store. Like you said though, it is more of a set of business decisions that have to be made because there is not one "best" answer to the few issues that present themselves. > I know that some people would say "but that is what *you* are there for!" > (Meaning me and my Red Hat compatriots.)

I'll let anyone know if we do something neat.

This is pretty easy to do. Just share the userdb among every store, using the SubCatalog or separate catalog approach and CookieLogin. With just a bit of work, you can even share the session directory among them so they carry the cart for each store around together. Or if you want a very large scalable mall (you can have literally tens of thousands of stores this way), have every vendor on one store have a vendor code and place items in a separate cart. (The archives have the tag for that, and the archives also should show how to set up a separate look and feel for each vendor with an Autoload.) Also, check out the [cart name=vendor-id] tag, which allows you to switch carts and display each separately. Have a store/vendor database that defines the parameters for a vendor in a record keyed by vendor ID. You can also do different fulfillment routes for each vendor if you want the checkout process to be one form for all vendors. That is hard from a payment standpoint though, as taxing and shipping must be common -- or gyrations must be done to calculate it separately and somehow communicate that to the user without confusing them to the point where they drop the purchase. I usually try to remember that the bread-and-butter is the one-item, one-vendor purchase which defines 80% of online sales. Make that as easy as possible, and the other things at least possible. > Or perhaps it will be easier to just offer a "mass search" > capability and then make the user check out before moving to the next > store.

Interchange is well suited to that, > as well suited as anything I know. But it won't architect the mall. It's ALL about business logic. We always ask prospective clients "How do you deliver; show me" before we take them on. The second question is "Do you have product codes, are they your own or do you use your vendor codes?" Seriously, we can usually put up a 10 thousand item catalog in a fraction of the time it takes to put up ten items. That's ALL about organization and business logic; 10 thousand items we can get a dump **now** and every night at 11pm but ten items will dribble in 80% over the next two weeks. 10 thousand items and they know how to ship and what are the lead times and what kind of pick tickets and what is best mode; 100 items and we see 20% returns because it is "just not right".

Because that's such a recurring issue, knowing where the famous fine line is between getting help for free and getting help at a price, a question popped up in my mind: What's now the official name for the Interchange software ? Is it still Akopia Interchange(TM) or is it RedHat Interchange(TM) ? Otherwise being reminded of Akopia's slogan this came to my mind. RedHat E-Commerce Services: Free To Help Your Business At A Price. RedHat (Akopia) Interchange(TM): Freedom To Mind Your Own Business. May be that would be a nice top banner slogan.

May be someone likes to answer that > one. It's so hard for a non programmer to judge a program and a > programmer. This is a difficult subject. You would think for as long as programmers have been working there would be good numbers on how long it takes to write X number of lines of code. Unfotunately there aren't good numbers. I think the problem is that it's not linear. Sure, I can pretty accurately estimate jobs that are 20 hours or less. I can somewhat accurately estimate jobs that are up to 50 hours. Jobs that are more than 100 hours of work are just shots in the dark. But that's forecasting not measurements. Weather workst the same way. Meteorologists can accurately predict weather for the next 24 hours or so, but you hardly ever see 14 day forecasts. The problem is unforeseen complexity. You can break a job up into small, easily understood components and then add up all the small estimates. That's a fairly typical approach. You say, "to accomplish big project A I need to finish small projects B, C, and D. Since I know how long B, C, and D should take then A should take X hours." But what always happens is that you finish B and C, but now that you actually tackle D you see that B and C won't do at all. So you have to paritally or totally re-write B and C. As far as hind-site goes, I don't really think think there is a "code-per-day" number that is generally applicable. Elsewhere in this thread, Mike said it took him 5 years to write minivend with some help from others. That's a long time, but doesn't seem unreasonable for the power and flexibility of Interchagne. To summarize, I don't think lines-per-day is a good metric. It is seductively appealing because it is so quantitative. The problem again is complexity. Some features can be expressed in a small number of lines (even if they are complex). The other problem is that tasks/features are different by class. Server code is traditionally more dense than GUI code. I think what you have to do is look at the scope of the problem. How large is the problem space and how much of it is covered by the application? Also developing applications is easier than developing libraries which is easier than developing frameworks. And then there's one of my favorite quotes, "You can have it either fast, good, or cheap; choose any two." -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug@lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait.

However now when I use the admin interface I still get the message saying that the Perl modules are missing. I have rebooted the computer and restarted interchange. Is there something I need to do to actually activate the modules or make Interchange aware of them. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here's what I use on my store (http://yamamoto.baits.com/cgi-bin/order/40-20 for example): <TABLE BORDER=2 CELLSPACING=3 CELLPADDING=3 COLS=10><TR> [loop arg=[item-field color]] <TD align=center><A HREF="[area [loop-code]]" class="bod"><IMG SRC="/order/images/chart/[loop-code].jpg" WIDTH="40" HEIGHT="46" BORDER="0" LOWSRC="/0.gif" ALT="[loop-field description]"></A><BR>[loop-code]</TD> [calc] return '</TR><TR>' if '[loop-increment]' % 10 eq 0[/calc] [set colorcount][loop-increment][/set] [/loop] </TR><CAPTION><B>[scratch colorcount] Available Colors:</B></CAPTION></TABLE><P> The alt=[loop-field description] works for me here, because colors are part of my products db (I build cross-referenced pages, that is, a color flypage will list all the products that are available in that color). Could have easily been done as part of another database, but I'm not that smart. :-) In this case, clicking on a color takes you to another page, but it could be rewritten to add the item to the cart with the correct color attribute.

Probably for the same reasons, we wanted to incorporate minivend better in our site building tools. It worked, it got messy and we gave up because we found it **much** easier to turn it around and build minivend pages with our site builder instead. That helped **enormously** both with the minivend syntax and maintenance. I don't know if you got Mike's announcement today about adding SOAP; you might tie that to your cgi handler (I wonder about parsing in real time). I think you'd end up with another daemon, a persistent CGI-HANDLER that mediated between ic/SOAP and the web server. cfm -- Christopher F.

Perhaps Interchange's authors could borrow a few features or facilitate integration? With Mason, for instance, an "autohandler" in your documentroot will apply to every top-level component (like index.html) under it (unless disabled), and each directory can use its own which can inherit from the higher-level autohandler or stand on its own. When you're using @_LEFTONLY_TOP_@ in most pages, it's easier to put it in an autohandler and disable it for the few pages that don't use it.

It occurs to me, though, that I'd rather put the embedded call to HTML::Mason in an Interchange template than add the whole call to each page (though I'll still have to include a call to the template in each page - too bad there's no autohandler!). And Mason's cacheing features should make the 'include some/file/mason/builds/every/two/hours' a cinche. Still, I'd like to look into piping Interchange's output through Mason's handler.cgi. I don't see a mess in that. It's very simple, really - Interchange receives a request for a page, say /cgi-bin/catalog/index.html, parses it, passes the result to Mason's handler.cgi, and it's then parsed as any other component. So all I have to do, it seems, is redirect the output of /cgi-bin/catalog from what? Apache? to /cgi-bin/handler.cgi. Can't be that hard!

What am I doing wrong? Apologies for the previous HTML...fixed the formatiing... Hello all, After staring at the screen trying to figure out my undoubtedly dumb mistake, I'm cross-eyed and need another head or three to look at this and point out my thickiness. I am attempting to set a scratch variable to the value of the form variable "country" on the checkout page. Then after someone has updated the shipping info and the page hs been resubmitted I want to compare the scratch variable containing the pre-update country value to the just-submitted new country value, and then of course set the scratch variable to this most recent value for further comparisons. I thought I understood the sequence of processing an Interchange page but I must be missing something. It seems to me that the comparison between the old country value (in a scratch variable) and the newly updated form country value should proceed before the scratch variable is updated with the new country value, but my comparison ALWAYS returns true, that they are equal. This is a code snippet: FIRST VISIT TO PAGE? [if !scratch visitcount] [perl] $Values->{country} = CA0; $Values->{state} = QC; $Values->{mv_shipmode} = "can_a"; $Scratch->{visitcount} = 1; $Scratch->{previouscountry} = $Values->{country}; return "FIRST VISIT.\n"; [/perl] [else] PROBLEM HERE: [perl] $prevcountry = $Scratch->{previouscountry}; $country = $Values->{country}; -------> if("$prevcountry" eq "$country") { <------- ALWAYS TRUE, WHEN DOES FORM VARIABLE "COUNTRY" GET NEW VALUE? $info = "COUNTRY NOT CHANGED, previous country is " . $Scratch->{previouscountry} .

I have been having a problem with a similar issue (and I still am to some extent). If you are not familiar with how to install new Perl modules, there is a utility I recently found called CPAN that (if installed on your computer) should automatically go out to one of the Perl CPAN mirror sites, retrieve the module and install it for you. You may want to try the following command to see if you have this functionality: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Tie::Watch' It should tell you if it can (and with this command -- if installed -- it will install it) be installed or it already is. Now here is the caveat that I was asking the list about yesterday ... : Even after I ran this command and the additional modules where all installed (and later confirmed using the MCPAN system, my admin area still says some of these modules are not found by Interchange. My question was and still IS ... is there anything I have to do to activate these?

It is the end for now as long as you always set that in your environment before starting/restarting IC. I am guessing it is not the end forever, for your Perl installation looks to be bad.

It would be easier to do it in perl. The easy way, but not as precise, $line ="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs"; @words = split /\ /, $line; $midpoint = int((scalar @words)/2)+1; for ($i;$i <= $#words; $i++) { if ($i == $midpoint) { print "\n";} print "$words[$i] "; } print "\n"; I'm sure there is a better way to do this with splice but I'm really too tired to look it up right now. The way this is set up the 1st line should generally be a little longer than the 2nd line. A much more accurate way to do it would be to do this: $line ="Now is the time that all good men came to the aid of their party"; @letters = split //, $line; $midpoint = int((scalar @letters)/2); for ($i; $i <= $#letters; $i++) { if ($i == $midpoint) { while ($letters[$i] ne " ") { print "$letters[$i]"; $i++; } print "\n"; $i++; } print "$letters[$i]"; } print "\n"; Which does the break down by the total character length of the line. The trick is the while loop which goes to the mid point and then seeks forward until it finds a space. Once it finds the space then it prints the line break but not before it. Again, there is probably a better way to do this by splices or substrings but again, this took 5 minutes of thought which is all I can afford to spare at the moment. Making it work in interchange/minivend is trivial.

I get 404 Not Found error ... however when I go to the same URL in Netscape I get a page that only says: Undefined catalog: /cgi-bin/westerbeke This seems awful strange that it comes back two different ways in different browsers. Either way it is not working. Does anyone have any idea why construct would work just fine but by version (I simply replaced the word construct with westerbeke when makecat asked me for input) does not.

There was a problem in the standard CyberCash 3.2 modules - they would not work with MiniVend. The problem lay in the communication between Minivend/Interchange and the Cybercash encryption module that ran as a separate task. The fix involved replacing the standard 3.2 modules. Those modules were posted to the mailing list, so a search of the archives should give you all the information. The date I recall was around July-August 2000. Are you using the 3.2 Perl interface routines? If so, then the replacement routines might be portable to the Mac.

More about Tie::Watch and Perl Modules Mike, Thanks for the clarification on this issue about not needing the Tie::Watch module. Earlier I wrote an email saying that my admin interface was telling me that I still needed several modules installed even though I have went through the process and installed the modules on my machine. At the time I asked if there was anything I needed to do to "initiate" or force Interchange to "see" the modules. With this question now I am wondering if it may be possible that I do not need these modules. Is that the case? If it is not the case and I do need the modules, why is Interchange not "seeing" that they are installed. I understand that this may in fact be a Perl problem or other type of system problem and not an Interchange problem, but everything "seems" fine on the Perl side. Have you ever heard of this before? Any ideas?

I don't have an answer for you but I will throw in my observations. I have seen this on one installation of IC 4.6.0 on an RH7 box. In their case, they were running the Interchange server as a different user than the catalog in question...and this was the only immediately apparent difference between their installation and countless others I have done/seen which do not exhibit this problem. I requested that they install either another instance of IC or a copy of the catalog in such a way as to make the server and catalog under one user, just as an expirement. I have not heard from them as to whether or not this was done. I don't know if they did the tarball install or RPM - I use the former almost exclusively. I am assuming that you set the table up correctly in Interchange (dbconf/mysql/tablename.mysql for the table defs, and the text source file tablename.txt in the products directory) and that you saw the table creation messages on the command line or in the logs. - Ed L.

Tim - I put your code on a checkout page and it worked fine. You probably weren't seeing the messages you expected because $info was not the last statement of each conditional block, but I made that minor change in my copy and everything is hunky-dory. Your trouble must lie elsewhere - perhaps in the submission of the form on the country change event. Verify your mv_todo value and any mv_checks or mv_clicks to make sure the form is actually submitting the data, and - I know this sounds too obvious - check the spelling on your form input for country. - Ed L.

I'm fairly new but here's what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong) The products.txt file is simply a source to import the data from...if you want you can set the NoImport directive in your catalog.cfg so that you can use another table (already created) for the products.

A good way to test this is to try accessing a regular page (not Interchange) repeatedly, i.e. one of the image files. If there are errors on those, then it has nothing at all to do with anything except problems between the web server and the browser. Usually Microsoft's buggy SSL implementation is at fault. You might put this on the basket page: If you have trouble ordering, <A HREF="https://www.myserver.com/regular_page.html"> try this link </A> repeatedly. If errors occur, when traveling this link and clicking Refresh/Reload several times, then you need to update your web browser. The regular_page.html should be at least 16K bytes in size to give it a chance to fail. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> I don't want to get to the end of my life and find I have just lived the length of it.

I'm not sure if there is one or more issues here. Certainly the IE keepalive is a problem. We do a **lot** of dynamic server side includes in *.html pages. In our experience, *.cgi pages this is not a problem. But a dynamic include in a *.html page does seem to be a problem. Sending CGI headers and PRAGMAs of whatever type does not work, IE just ignores them. Ultimately we patched our server not to allow keepalive from IE. Particularly on larger pages with larger includes this is a problem. For us, at least, the keepalive has been a much bigger issue than any SSL problems. cfm -- Christopher F.

I don't know why I never remembered to remove the "canNest" check for Tagref.pm, but that is actually a legacy from the less-capable MV3 parser.

Yes. Interchange can run multiple catalogs per interchange daemon. You can probably restart individual catalogs by researching the bin/minivend command line arguments a bit more Yes, you can also easily run multiple interchange deamons per box. Just install them to different directories (/usr/local/ic-4.6.3, or /usr/local/ic-CVS-$DATE is how I do it). It doesn't hurt for them to share a common catalog directory (such as /var/ic), but you probably don't want two daemons accessing the same catalog at the same time :-) In short, it's more of a sysadmin issue than it is a program issue, which extols the value of Mike's quality programming.

It isn't really any different than different users hitting the same catalog with browser clicks on the same daemon with forked children. We are very fussy about locking files, which accounts for Interchange's good reputation for robustness. 8-) In fact, I recommend this. Make one daemon with the UI for your admin, protecting it with HTTP basic auth and/or allow-deny IP/host statements in the web server, and disable the UI in the production version that customers use. This is much more secure as all of the GlobalSub and UserTags that modify files are out of play. (You might have to include some of the UI usertags from lib/UI/usertag if you employed them in the catalog -- the only one I can think of that we use in the demo is [button ...] and maybe [table-editor ...] in the DEV_4_7_0 branch.) I will try and include instructions and a little batch file to do that in the next release.

This is exactly wrong -- PATH_INFO is supposed to be empty. The only way to fix this that I know of is to get the web server and CGIwrap set up properly. Beyond that, it would be a hack to the Interchange core, perhaps enabled by a patch in Server.pm or bin/interchnage like: if($Global::Variable->{CGIWRAP_WORKAROUND}) { $CGI::path_info =~ s!^$CGI::script_name::; } This could go in ::adjust_cgi() in bin/interchange or the bottom of Vend::Server::populate(), and be enabled with the interchange.cfg line: Variable CGIWRAP_WORKAROUND 1 In fact, I think it belongs in ::adjust_cgi(), and I will put it there for future releases. Actually, I think that if CGIwrap is set up properly with the --with-chroot=PATH this will not be a problem.

This is further complicated if you are using a SQL db, whereby you must add the columns into the .txt file, and then regenerate the table in the db itself by rm'ing the .sql file and restarting IC. Moreover, don't forget to either have a suitable default datatype in your config file *or* add those COLUMN_DEFs into the config file. If you add interior columns, you will of course have to have \t space holders. I am not sure whether you would have to do the same for columns at the end, but I would do it nonetheless for assurance.

After a few days of struggling I now have a couple of different demo cats working fine including one using MySQL. The plan ultimately is to have several catalogs running on one server with one SuperUser capable of administering all the catalogs and to set up one catalog administrators for each catalog with limited privileges. The main restriction imposed on these administrators is to not be able to delete anything. So far, using only the administrator UI ==> Access configuration utility, I have not been able to configure an administrator that can view and edit orders but not delete them. Am I missing something here? Am I the only one with this problem? In fact, I can set up a new administrator, and without explicitly giving this administrator SuperUser rights, assigning any group memberships or editing the "default" access privileges, this new administrator in essence becomes a new SuperUser! Bug? I have found only one reference in the archives suggesting that this functionality is still buggy but if this is the case, how do I accomplish the above? I could presumably roll my own access.asc but have not found any detailed description/instruction on how I would go about doing that. Any help, pointers, tips greatly appreciated. Thanks. (IC Newbie) Bruno Cantieni From: michelle at wilant.com (Michelle Wilant (home) ) Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 10:32:38 -0500 Subject: [ic] best set up with several stores Thanks for your quick response. Currently, I have installed interchange into two separate directories. (Each directory has its own apache httpd.conf file, too.) So my directory structure is as follows: /web/sites/store1/(interchange root, also cgi-bin, etc) /web/sites/store2/(its own interchange installation) I can get store 1's interchange server running, no problem. By doing /web/sites/store1/interchange/bin/interchange -r (as the interchange user of course) But when I go to start up an interchange server for store 2, it won't start because it sees the other one running. Therefore, right now I can't get two interchange servers running. I'm just wanting, currently, to run one apache server & interchange server per catalog (aka store directory). That way our developers can restart whenever they need to update information etc. without affecting other stores.

An orders that are placed with the Purchase Order option (instead of via Check or Credit Card) do not show up on the Order report in the Admin area. Nor do they show up on the Customer report in the Admin area. I tried this out on my own installation of the demo and on the demo on Akopia's web site.

I tried modifying the little perl piece in the catalog.cfg to always do discounts, but then it shows $0.00 for pricing (although the quantity pricing works.) What am I missing?

Ok assuming your interchange.cfg file is in the /etc dir do this: pico /etc/interchange.cfg Now read the top lines that start with Catalog. This will give you the name you specified for the catalog, the path to the catalog root, the executable located in the cgi-bin dir and the alias.

This happen, if I add a sub into the catalog.cfg or interchange.cfg. But if the sub is created as an UserTag, it works well. What is wrong?

I forgot to post this one a few weeks ago when I finished it up. This attachment is a results page which allows you to have a list of products each having a quantity, size, color, and buy button per product. I spent quite a bit of time to get this one to work correctly. The construct demo used a perl sub (munge_quantity) to set the quantity correctly however it did not work for the size or color. This page also illustrates using an image as the buy button. There is also a check for which browser is being used, netscape did not like the IE code and IE did not like the Netscape code. Come to find out the 'image' input type is not valid in Netscape and therefore does not have an 'OnClick' event. This page is being posted to help out anyone else trying to do the same thing on their site. You can see the page in action at: http://www.mygamewear.com (the page is going to be switched up in the near future to fit more products on a page). Take it easy! -Ron P.S.

I did this, but when the pico editor opens the file "interchange.cfg" it is blank, no lines of text? Yesterday I tried the your other advice, "rm -rf name_of_dir_that_is_the_cat" with the catalog name, which I believe is "interchange" and it tried to delete a whole bunch of files. The problem though was that all the the files were "permission denied". I think that my host may have these write protected? Everything works fine with my catalog except for the "quantity pricing" and "cross-sell" options. That is all I need to work. They worked once but not now? It's possible that I messed them up when I first started learning how to use the catalog?

I know this is only a demo ... and believe me I am not complaining ... the program is great but I am just wondering if there is any documentation telling just what is happening on each line of the demo store? The documentation I downloaded from the akopia.com Web site talks a lot about the demo, however much of it appears to be written off of the former "simple" store. I am trying to find the best way to convert the demo store construct into something similar to what I need before venturing off on my own and starting from scratch.

Do a: locate interchange.cfg that will tell you the location of the file. If you can not run makecat then you most likely can not delete a cat either. If everything works except quantity pricing and cross sell then stop where you are. Site is fine and all is operational except these two items? Read the docs on quantity pricing and start looking for your error. Assuming you are using the UI (again that assume thing) try something as simple as hitting apply changes. In any case stop worrying about both of them and concentrate on one or the other and fix it. Then move to the other problem and fix it. Move slow and backup what you presently have before you alter. You can always go back to the old version. Permission denied simply means you are messing with something you are not allowed to mess with.

His complaints were associated with checkout which is SSL (or at least should be). I am running the most current version of Apache and the SSL configs are all in the same conf file which in the past were seperate files. While this is not a Interchange issue per say I kinda feel it is since there is so much each of us should be familiar with other than Interchange (perl, web servers, HTML, SQL, ...) So maybe not an Interchange problem but the Interchaneg list should be a good place to find a solution :) Steve From: jon at akopia.com (Jon Jensen ) Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 16:36:28 -0600 (CST) Subject: [ic] Documentation for Construct On Tue, 27 Feb 2001, Christopher VanOosterhout wrote: > I am wondering if anyone has seen (or written for them self) documentation > related to the construct store.

The only thing is when you have a passed list like that loop (that is one of the only ones in the demo, and is going away in the next version), or a Perl code section with a here document (i.e. <<EOF).

Gina, I have a similar setup with a store I am creating at http://www.wevegotitwireless.com (a work in progress). I have a phones category and a pagers category, each with Motorola in them.

I think the line: '/home/users/mjs/catalogs/construct/products/variable.txt' read/write: Permission denied summates the majority of the problems I had. I'm sure I'm going to screw some of this explanation up, so I hope another developer can catch any of my mistakes. Interchange won't install as root, it expects a different username. ('interch' is default). Properly setting up this user is key for a smooth install. I was running into a lot of problems until I created a brand spanking new "interchange" account. I did the default interchange install in "/home/interchange/interchange", vs. "/usr/local/interchange".. Once the software was installed in the home directory where all the user permissions were proper, I had zero problems installing the demo catalogs. As near as I can tell permissions and proper username setups are key to a successful installation of interchange. I hope I didn't mangle this explanation too horribly.

Adam From: soudant at home.nl (Guy Soudant ) Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 08:18:56 +0100 Subject: [ic] Installing Akopia? Hi, Installing the application is not the problem, although you have to know the exact meaning of the questions that are asked (if you run ./configure). In general, most standard answers should fit your needs (watch out with the cgi-wrapper question), and be sure to use the pwd command to check directory paths. Taking this into account, then the install is not very tricky (if you have shell access). The difficult part is configuring the application after install. This can be tricky, but then you can always ask questions on this forum. Sorry but I personally cannot install the app for you, since I am too busy with setting it up myself, and I face a deadlline that's nearby.

Somewhere in the construct code it's accessing status.construct with the wrong path and voilating security (when using purchase orders). http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=reference24%2e26 >{IP, DATE, TIME} construct /construct/construct.cgi/process.html search >error: Limit subroutine creation: bad limit creation code in coordinated >search, probably search group without search specification. at >/home/xxxxxxxx/interchange/lib/Vend/Search.pm line 703. > >{IP, DATE, TIME} construct /construct/construct.cgi/process.html Attempt to >set userdb::password::U00004 in read-only table To narrow down where these are coming from: on one screen, do a 'tail -f error.log'. That gives you a continuous realtime output of the errors. Then, go through the site, and every time you click, see which errors come up on the screen. That way you can know it's when you click "place order" or when you click "checkout", etc. -Dan >Does this mean I have something setup incorrectly?

Installation of Interchange (Akopia) would be directly relative to what you wanted to accomplish with Interchange. If setting up a simple demo site to review is all you need, then that should take no longer than a couple hours. If you are looking for a new storefront, then obviously your requirements would drive whatever that timeline would be. Akopia provides for professional installation services, as well as ASP style managed services.

Other topics will include: - announcements of Interchange releases and fixes - notification and submission of Interchange bugs - distributing pages which implement Interchange functions - discussing the future development of Interchange - any other topic relating *directly* to Interchange The list started January 5, 1997 as minivend-users. For an archive of past articles, see: http://developer.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/ Also, because the list has high volume for one of its type, before posting to the list it is recommended that you use the search feature at: http://developer.akopia.com/ Many questions can be answered by trying some keywords at this facility. Try more than one combination. It is common courtesy when posting to a forum such as this to: 1. Include the version of software you are using, i.e. Interchange 4.6.1. Bugs are fixed and deficiencies corrected in each release of Interchange, as with almost any software. 2. Include relevant information where appropriate. The operating system in question is often relevant, as is the Perl version and database type in use. 3. When talking about tag problems, include a snippet of ITL tags which illustrates the problem. 4. When posting about PGP, Glimpse, or anything else that uses an external command, you need to state what happens when you run the same thing from the command line. 5. Include error log entries or a statement that there are none. If a post to this list doesn't include the relevant information, not only are you unlikely to get a reasonable answer, you will add to the volume of the list and make it less likely that reasonable questions are answered. All entries are archived and available via a web gateway. The "X-No-Archive: Yes" header is honored if you choose to use it. List etiquette issues: -- No HTML mail is allowed. Besides being improper email netiquette, it destroys the digest. -- Please try to keep your line size less than 80 characters. -- No PGP signatures should be used. This is not a legal record. -- No flame wars are tolerated. -- No "courtesy copies" unless specifically requested. It can be annoying to some people to receive two copies of the same message. -- If you must munge, make sure you mention this in the BODY of the message and not buried incomprehensibly in the header or in a cluttered signature attachment. -- The list changes the Reply-To: header to point to the list. While this is by popular demand, it is recognized that it is not always the best mode of operation. You should reply by email directly to the sender if the post will not be of general use. For more information see the Netiquette RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html Thanks for your cooperation. We believe we have one of the best user lists going, and we would like to keep it useful and pleasant to use.

When I generate static pages the second static page of the Links to more matches comes back with nothing found. The first static page comes back fine with the Links to more matches (previous-1-2-3-next). When I click on 1 or 2 or 3 it comes back with nothing found using a cached searched page. The static page that was generated also has nothing found for the second page. I have deleted all the temporary cached pages and tried it again. But the same thing happens. When I click on next it works but is not using a static page but a cached search page. The only difference between the links is the next page has mi=static in the url while the 2nd, 3rd etc page links urls do not have it. No errors are showing up. I had to go ahead and set fi=products in the scan searches or I would get an error that search file name was blank during generation. I have ProductFiles set to products in the catalog.cfg.

It all depends on what type of searching you need. If it is categories, you need to use the dl=string method of binary searching, which will bring search times under a second. If it is full-text, you need Glimpse, which will do much the same thing for word-based full-text searches. It is quite possible to get sub-second searches for 300,000 items depending uniqueness of term. This is the type of thing where a few hours of outside consulting with a company that really knows this stuff (like us) will go a long way toward solving your problems.

Sigh, Yes interchange can up load info into a SQL db like postgres, it's in the docs and has been discussed to death before, please search the archive. If you can't find it in the interchange docs try the minivend docs IKFAF thats it's there. -- ____ \__/ Murray Gibbins murray@scotweb.ltd.uk / \ Programmer _ \__/ _ ================================================ \\ || // Scotweb Limited, info@scotweb.ltd.uk \\||// 13a Albert Terrace, http://www.scotweb.ltd.uk \||/ Edinburgh EH10 5EA Tel: +44 (0) 131 270 82 33 || Scotland.

Did do all this on the same computer? Chances are different customers will use different computers, hence different sessions with separate carts, and there will be no problem. If in your case one computer will be used by different users like a pay phone, you'll need to add some code on logout and order submission to dump the session. - Ed L.

The second static page of the search comes back with nothing found. When I click on the 2nd page link on the static firat page of the search it comes back with nothing found. When I add mi=static to the url of the 2nd page link then it comes back ok as some type cached page or search. How do I get the mi=static to show up in the urls for the 2nd, 3rd page links etc. The next and previous page links work ok.

In particular, I want to eliminate anything outside the US ie Military Americas, Canada, etc. I have limited the shipping options to only allow for UPS Ground, but I've looked all over and haven't had much luck. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi Nick, I fought with this for a while, and finally found it! It's in catalog/construct/templates/regions/ Edit all the *TOP files. Look for the a1 and a2 pic files - these are the two top pics.

Does anybody have any experience of running IC on a Cobalt RAQ3? I know it is really just a RedHat install on a PC box in a fancy case, but I have to pay 3 years rent on this server in advance, and it is solely for the purpose of running IC cats, so I want to be certain I can get it working when I have paid (a considerable amount) for it!

This is a newbie question. Has anybody used simple 4.6 demo page with interchange 4.6.3? The search would not work for me. Search function works fine in the construct demo page but does not in the barry page and does not work in the simple page. Has something changed in the latest version of interchage (4.6.3)? Does the new version of simple have to be coded differently to have search work? Search for "search" in the search.html (that is made on the fly) in construct and simple yeilded very different code. >From construct: <td width="119"> <FORM ACTION="http://kirill/cgi-bin/construct/search.html?id=EkegUuhq"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_coordinate VALUE=1> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchtype VALUE=db> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_matchlimit VALUE=10> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_sort_field VALUE=category> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=inactive> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=":*"> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_column_op VALUE=ne> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_column_op VALUE=rm> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchspec VALUE=1> <INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME=mv_searchspec type=text size=10> </td> >From simple: <TR> <TD WIDTH=150 BGCOLOR=#C6A563 HEIGHT=82 VALIGN=top ALIGN=left><FORM ACTION="http://kirill/cgi-bin/simple/search.html"><IMG SRC="/simple/images/clear.gif" WIDTH=1 ALT="" HEIGHT=5 BORDER=0><BR> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_coordinate VALUE=1> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=category> <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=":artist,title,comment,display">   <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica"><SELECT NAME=mv_searchspec SIZE=1> I am trying to monkey with this by adding the lines of code from the config directory in construct to the logobar code in config/brown1 and meeting with very limited success.
