Hi list,
Could any one please help me out in finding out where exactly different
shipping addresses store.
For example in my cart I have 10 products each with different shipping
addresses. So I need to store these separate shipping address in newly
created table to keep track of these addresses for further reference.
Thanks in advance.

Why not make a user tag that uses LWP to go to any page and returns
its
contents? It's not that kludgy, some of the major portal apps do that.
It
would be really easy too.

[ OT: How do I generate a static web site from Zope, so that I can serve
it
somewhere else? ]
To the point:
Both Zope and IC are awfully flexible. But there should be very much
less of a Python vs. Perl problem with Zope today since (afaik) as of
2.5.1, Zope can run mixed Python and Perl code. Only, since I'm not
up to speed with Zope yet, I don't know _how_.
> Feed that page to ic.
I guess that this is the question: How to mix the various middleware
systems - IC lumped together with Zope, Midgard and what have you
here - in one application. It appears that several people have similar
problems here.

Yes, at least if you need to manage these separately and are not
able to manage your IC pages eg. within Zope.

works fine with en_US and the settings you discribed...
But the Currency_symbol is still not used... It displays the price
without
currency_symbol...
But the calculation is correct...
So the Locale sl_SI currency_symbol "SIT" is not noticed by Perl..
So there must be some other setting to change the currency_symbol...
The Locale settings in catalog.cfg is not used as it should...
So now the problem now is only to display SIT after price...
Thanks guys! you're the best!

Yeaa... problem solved...!!
Locale sl_SI currency_symbol "SIT" had to be put the last on list...
After Locale C ... The last on Locale list...
Now it works just fine!
Thanks for all your help!

David,
I am currently with Liquidweb and had MANY problems with their default
Interchange setup. I recommend that you just install a new copy of
interchange on your account, instead of using their shared interchange
system.
This is what I have done and it seems to work well.
As for Liquid Web's support:
I find it to be lacking as well. I do find that their accounting
department
is very thorough, though.

At that point you just do in the page:
[setlocale locale=sl_SI persist=1]
It should work fine.

As for now this won't be needed :) As I said in other mail I figured
out
the workaround - problem...
Problem was that the Locale C was set after Locale sl_SI currency_sym...
Therefore I think the symbol definitions were overriden..
So I just put the Locale sl_SI currency_sym... at the end of Locale
definitions and now it works fine...
So I hope this problem is solved... So many thanks! I wouldn't be able
to
solve it without your help..
Thanks again!

The text in those sections seems clear enough to me. Section 3 is all
about creating directories (not folders, btw) and copying files around
in order to create a new (empty) Interchange site.
A working knowledge of the following shell commands is assumed: "cd",
"cp", "chmod", "chown", "ls", "mkdir" and "su".
It may be best for you to start by modifying a Foundation-based site,
rather than creating a new site from scratch. Once you've had some
experience on a Foundation-based site, and are more familiar with UNIX
shell commands, the "Catalogue Building Tutorial" will start to make
more sense.

I have had no luck finding what param to tweak to set a limit on the
number of items per page retuned from a search. Right now, it defaults
to 50. I need to set it to 20 due to thumbnail sizes.
What parameter should I be looking for? A pointer to where in the docs
to find this would be much appreciated!
I went so far as to grep through the source for "50". What I found, I
tried to tweak to 20, but saw no changes.

Hello,
I cant make interchange run in INET and UNIX mode.
I run makecat:
The new catalog is based on foundation.
I specify INET when he asks me.
I finish the rest of the questions.
I run: su -c "/usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange -r" intech
to restart the server. It outputs the following:
Killing Interchange server 5738 with TERM.
Low traffic settings.

Interchange server started in INET and UNIX mode(s) (process id 12946)
Continuing in UNIX MODE ONLY
After this I try to enter "Customer Entrance" and "Admin

After some hours of double-checking everything and comparing to
a working version on my friend's server, i couldn't find out why i cant
get it to work on INET:
-I telnet to localhost 7786, and i get timeout, so the service
isn't listening... right ?
My friend can telnet to 7786... i can't... he's interchange is workin,
mine's not ! i assume the problem is INET ! because my friend's
interchange is functioning well with INET.
Any clues ? help me please !

Ultimately you will find yourself writing IC, HTML, javascript and
probably even perl on the fly in whatever language your page builder
uses. It's not hard to write perl in perl. I don't know about writing
perl in python. At the very least that requires someone twice as
skilled as I. :-)

You DON'T do it in one application. :-) Stop thinking that way! That
is probably where you are dying, on the conceptual block trying to
figure out how to integrate them; don't. You WANT them separate.
Use zope or whatever content management/page builder you want to build
the pages for IC. IC runs what zope built. IC doesn't know or care
if zope built them just now, yesterday, or a year ago. No connection.
KISS.
(That is not to say IC might not trigger a zope process to update,
just don't start there.)
It should be fairly straightforward to try this. Replace all the
LEFT_HAND, TOP (or whatever - we've not used those ever so I don't know
their names) with appropriate snippets in zope database, set up whatever
templates you need, and build your ic site. (easy for me to say; I
don't know zope or python - YMMV)

You may need to create an inetd entry and restart inetd.

You need matchlimit. This defaults to 50.

The text in those sections seems clear enough to me. Section 3 is all
about creating directories (not folders, btw) and copying files around
in order to create a new (empty) Interchange site.
A working knowledge of the following shell commands is assumed: "cd",
"cp", "chmod", "chown", "ls", "mkdir" and "su".
It may be best for you to start by modifying a Foundation-based site,
rather than creating a new site from scratch. Once you've had some
experience on a Foundation-based site, and are more familiar with UNIX
shell commands, the "Catalogue Building Tutorial" will start to make
more sense.
Thanks, I'll try the Foundation-based site.

Probably we should untangle the meaning of "application" here. First,
I meant not IC or Zope or whatever with "application", but the
resultant site. Like the difference between a data base and a data
base managemnt system. The former is an "application" in the meaning
I intended.

KISS.
That may be desirable, but not always possible. Just assume for a
moment that you want to access some functionality that may be in
Zope or some other system that generates dynamic contents you want
to integrate in your site that you write in ITL. Now what do you do?
My idea was to have either a low-level interface between the various
applications, or to work with a filter-like model where you could
layer different interpreters on top of each other (question: Is
mod_interchange now available for Apache2?). Currently, I try to
imagine how a UserTag could probably solve my problem in a low
level way. That may still be easier than layering the different
engines, and faster, too...

Reply-To: interchange-users@icdevgroup.org
I have Interchange setup almost completed. However, Interchange is
mailing me the orders and they're giving an error of:
Could not parse MIME message. Displaying as source.
I read the archives and found some comments about taking the op=mime out
of etc/report to make this error go away. What I'd like is to get the
MIME to work so that Evolution will decrypt the e-mails inline (or at
least attempt to). At the moment this is not the case.
Can someone give me some clues as to what is happening and how to
resolve it?
Thank you,

I could not figure out what the docs were talking about. After
searching
around I found an archive that talks about adding the following lines to
your catalog_before.cfg located in the interchange directory.
push @out, "ml=5";
There are a bunch of "put" lines under the sub bar link area. Thats
where I
stuck this line.
It kinda stinks because you end up changing this globally but it works.

It is awkward, but it works. Thanks for the tip.
My feeble understanding of the docs I was pointed to earlier is that it
is possible to set the matchlimit variable from the calling page in the

I think.

If you are using the Layout Editor, change your simple searches to
complex
ones and then use the searches as per the docs (look at the one-click
searches page).
If your simple search was on products:
category=memory
the complex search would be:
sf=category
se=memory
(the default search table is products, so you don't need to specify it
here.)
Now, add to this:
ml=20
to limit to 20 results per page.
Hopefully this will get you started, good luck!

This has nothing whatsoever to do with (x)inetd. When IC is listening
in INET mode, it means that it connects through a port (7786) which is
visible on the internet at large. In contrast, listening in UNIX mode,
means that it is using an internal socket which is not visible to the
internet at large. If it can't listen to the INET port, then most
probably
that port is already in use by another instance of IC. In any event, it
is better (more secure) to use UNIX mode only. Is your cgi owned
by the IC user? And is it 'chmod u+s'? These latter points are covered
in the docs and the list archives.

To get both UNIX and Inet modes, add the following to your
interchange.cfg file:
Unix_Mode Yes
Inet_Mode Yes
TcpHost 127.0.0.1
TcpMap 7786 -
Restart Interchange after modifying your interchange.cfg file.
There's not always a point in running Interchange in both UNIX and Inet
modes. Pick one or the other, unless you really do need both for some
reason.

the mailing list, found some answers but the solutions mentioned didn't
work. These lines are in my interchange.cfg

You may want to take a look into implementing the cXML standard on
your site.
In a cXML PunchOut operation, the site sends a 'purchase order' to
the portal upon checkout, rather than the portal requesting it from
the site. This is a lot better than opening your site up to allow
arbitrary external applications to query the purchase data held on
your site.

cXML does that in one hit - passing all the required information to
the portal, without any need for a callback.
If you really wanted to use the callback method then you'd have to
save the order information into the database and pass some form of
unique key to the portal. The portal would then call a specific page,
passing the key. Your lookup page would then format and return the data.
You'll need to carefully consider the security implications and only
ever use HTTPS+POST to pass the key and order information around.

To be honest with you, when I try to use the search builder I get an
internal server error. I am running IC 4.8.6 using mySQL. I see
nothing in
the error.log. Has anyone seen this before?
I am also getting a "pattern failed" when trying to use the shipping
wizard.
I have seen lots of people comment about this and I know it is on the
bug
list but I have seen no replies that anyone knows what is going on with
it?
Later,
Chris Slaght

Subject: [ic] Out of stock and sored shopping carts
Reply-To: interchange-users@icdevgroup.org
Two questions for the group:
1. Is there anyway to know what items people are waiting for stock in
(when
a customer uses the "Out/In Stock Alert" email)?
2. Is there any way to find out what items people have in a saved cart?
