Has anyone noticed that matrix-widgets and others_bought don't mix in
the store demo?
Simple options are okay. Modular?

The query comes back with the "option" sku in the orderline, not the
code:
os28004-CAM-BLK
   (if it was only os28004, others_bought would work fine)

<!--BASKET-->

It's unfortunate, I would have used simple options if I would have know,
so I figured I should warn others.

Strictly speaking, and under normal settings, its true that you can't upload
images outside of the catalog space; this is a security feature of
Interchange. However, you can symlink from the www space, images directory
back into the catalog space. That way, interchange places an uploaded file
in <catroot>/images/whatever and this appears in html space.

Being unable to upload images usually results from either a missing symlink,
or incorrect permissions in the images directories (the interchange user
needs to be able to write to them).

I'm not aware of any way that Interchange ITL can be used to open a new 
window with an alternate URL in the client's browser, since Interchange is 
all server-side. Your best bet is to use a javascript window opener routine 
on etc/receipt.html - there are many such scripts available on the 'net.

And with just a debit flow how/where to grab the, what must

to just do authorization ?  I see  CreditCardAuto  needs to be YES

I find the simplest way is to pinch a known password from another
access.asc.

If you want to create a new one, Mike posted a handy perl app some time ago:

Genius. Thanks for that Jonathan. I have got one store that i can get  
into in development so i shall try that tommorrow.

I have just scanned that doc and it follows that i can use htpasswd  
which i am certainly familiar with.

Hope you had a new year.

Try this:

  * Create a new encrypted password with this sort of thing:

        perl -e 'print crypt("newpassword",rand(100)) . "\n"'

  * Copy the new encrypted password for use in a moment.

  * Change to your products directory and backup your access.asc
    file - just in case.

  * Edit the access.asc file using a text editor such as vi.

  * Locate the old encrypted password and replace with the new one
    you copied earlier, while being careful to maintain the file's
    format: Tab-separated values, no nasty MSDOS or Mac line endings
    etc.

Obviously, you will need to be logged in as a user who has permission
to edit the access.asc file.

This was done on ICDEV with Glimpse, which had a function to 
extract a portion of a document when indexing. (Swish++ has
something similar, but I haven't taken the time to set up the
indexing for it.)

You would need to do this yourself. Seeing as how you have access to any
data you can key in to in an Interchange search list, it should not be
trouble to do efficiently with a simple [item-sub ...] [item-exec ...]
combination.

If you are talking about a file search ala Swish, you would need
to read its docs and figure out how to include it in the index.
IC's Swish module does allow keying into arbitrary elements, but
I doubt there are many examples out there.

Assuming you are returning something like [item-description] from
your search. Something like this would work if I understand your
question correctly.

[calc]
# Set the maximum length of the string you want to display
$max_length = 25;
$out = q{[item-description]};
if (length($out) > $max_length) {
	$out = substr($out,0,$max_length);
      # In case we chopped up a word, backup to the last space
	$out =~ s/ [^ ]*$//;
      # add some ... to the end of the string
	return $out . " ..."; 
}
return $out;
[/calc]

Think this is what you want...

Subject: [ic] weighted search result sorting
Message-ID: <IOEHJBJIDGMNIPMCBCJBCENBDDAA.paul@gishnetwork.com>

Hi List

In recent testing of my search engine I realized that while, yes it DOES
return a very good result set, it poorly sorts them. We have a content
site, that for example sells images. So for example:

sku		keywords
sku123	ocean, island, sky, trees, water
sku124	sky, clouds, blue, day

Lets say I have thousands similar to this. The problem arises when
someone searches for the term 'sky'. It will pull both results from
above, but if I sort by sku it will show the pictures of the island with
water and sky, or any number of picture with sky in it WILL appear
BEFORE a simple brilliant SKY by itself.... which is not good, if left
to sorting a field value.

I have been thinking of ways to "weight" the result set. I am not an
expert on efficiency nor databases. I am using Mysql, but NOT an SQL
query because I am doing full text searches.

A pseudo idea would be like:

sku		keywords
sku123	ocean_7, island_9, sky_5, trees_4, water_5
sku124	sky_10, clouds_10, blue_3, day_2

I have no idea if this is possible but in the above it is assumed that
with substring matching turned on, 'sky' will still be a HIT for both,
then maybe create some custom tf=? or method of sorting based on the
numeric TOTALs of the corresponding _'n' with regards to the words
matched by the users search spec.

So now with the above, a search for 'sky' will still return both, but
the first one visible will be sku124 (because sky=10) and for the other
(sky=5)

But if someone searched for 'sky ocean' then both would still be
returned but sku123 will be first because (sky+ocean=12) and the other
sku is (sky=10)

I still want to return both, because a Graphic artists can just take the
sky from one and the ocean from another, so both are relevant. I know I
know this is starting to sound terribly inefficient :) but the but any
normal tf=?,?,? will simply not work well at all for us.

As of now I have a general "collection" form to gather the users search
terms, then on my results page I separate out all the search terms and
do a nice juicy in-page co=1 search. So basically I do have all search
terms separated out at one point, if that helps.

Any idea on how to go about this? If any consultants have an idea but
feel it is way to complicated to share, or for me to handle, the please
contact me off-list with the idea, and if it is suitable for what I am
doing, then we can work out arrangements. paul@gishnetwork.com

If you have any advice(methods) for me to look into, I would be
grateful, I like trying to do this on my own, but realize this may be a
complicated one.... or not :)

Other ideas may be to base it on how many times the word appears in the
record (I don't like this one as it can get ugly). Obviously any method
will require a competent user inputting the database info, I do not
think there is any escaping that. I think I am pretty safe in assuming
any solution will require some sort of post search (perl) sorting
facility... correct?

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Interchange supports a number of Payment Services Providers (PSPs)
"out of the box".  You'll find a full list on my Interchange RTFM
website:

    http://www.interchange.RTFM.info/downloads/payments/

Payment modules are reasonably simple to create, as long as the PSP
has a proper synchronous API.  The cheap PSPs, such as WorldPay and
PayPal, that force your customers to use their servers to submit their
payment details are more difficult to implement, but nothing's
impossible.

I've never heard of Glypto or GloBill, but a Google search turned up
www.globill-systems.com, which appears to be an asynchronous PSP with
no real synchronous API.  I only spent five minutes on their website,
so correct me if I'm wrong.  I couldn't find any implementation
information at all.  


Call for payment modules:
-------------------------

Anyone who has an Interchange Payment module that's not listed on the
above RTFM web page is encouraged to submit the module to the Interchange
project so that it may be used by others.  The same applies to anyone
who has written, or wants to write, a HOWTO that explains the use of
Interchange with a particular asynchronous PSP.

Modules and HOWTOs may be posted to this mail list, or sent directly to
either myself or any of the other ICDEVGROUP core team members.

I'd have a table along the lines of the following:

    sku     keyword         weight
    ------- --------------- --------
    sku123  ocean           7
    sku123  island          9
    sku123  sky             5
    sku123  trees           4
    sku123  water           5
    sku124  sky             10
    sku124  clouds          10
    sku124  blue            3
    sku124  day             2

PRIMARY INDEX: sku, keyword
NON-UNIQUE INDEX: keyword

The following (untested) SQL queries should then work as follows:

Query:

    SELECT  sku, SUM(weight) AS skuweight
    FROM    keywords
    WHERE   keyword IN ('sky')
    GROUP BY sku
    ORDER BY skuweight DESC

Results:

    sku     skuweight
    ------- ---------
    sku124  10
    sku123  5

Query:

    SELECT  sku, SUM(weight) AS skuweight
    FROM    keywords
    WHERE   keyword IN ('sky','ocean')
    GROUP BY sku
    ORDER BY skuweight DESC

Results:

    sku     skuweight
    ------- ---------
    sku123  12
    sku124  10

Or that's the theory, at least. :-)

You'd pass the keywords into a page which would split them into
individual lower-case words for use in the WHERE clause.  If you
wanted to allow substring matches, you could have multiple "LIKE"
lines instead of one large "IN" line:

User types "sk oce" and the following is generated:

    SELECT  sku, SUM(weight) AS skuweight
    FROM    keywords
    WHERE   keyword LIKE '%sk%'
    OR      keyword LIKE '%oce%'
    GROUP BY sku
    ORDER BY skuweight DESC

Results:

    sku     skuweight
    ------- ---------
    sku123  12
    sku124  10

Once you have your SQL query, you'd execute it with the [query] tag
and display the results in any way you see fit.

Bill,

I've run into and fixed several bugs in PreFork mode due to Interchange
children having state changed and affecting subsequent page requests, and
it sounds like you're running into more of them. Unfortunately, I haven't
had time to go on a complete hunt for all such things, and they take time
to root out. But they are fixable and someone will get to them eventually,
sooner if the job at hand depends on it. :)

Subject: [ic] Edits to LinkPoint GlobalSub?
Message-ID: <017801c2b2b1$e9850680$0b00a8c0@TJMB>

Hello IC Users,

I'm in the process of setting up the LinkPoint GlobalSub (originally
written by Josh Simpson before being modified by Richard Eicher and
then Austin Markus and found at:
http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/downloads/payments/index.html)

Upon reviewing the GlobalSub, it occurred to me that perhaps some lines
should be revised to use some of the existing mv_ variables, allowing
the GlobalSub to be used by multiple catalogs on one server, each with
its own LinkPoint account.

Since I don't consider myself much of a programmer (although I seem to
be heading in that direction more and more each day), I was wondering
if someone might be able to give be feedback about these proposed
changes. Perhaps this was not done for some reason I am unaware of, and
I'm wasting bytes by writing this. :)

Current GlobalSub (lines 9-12):

    my $hostname = "secure.linkpt.net";
    my $port = "1139";
    my $storename = "YOUR STORENAME";
    my $keyfile = "FULL PATH OF YOUR .PEM FILE";


Proposed Changes (based on authorizenet GlobalSub):

    my $port = "1139";

    my $hostname =  $::Variable->{MV_PAYMENT_SERVER} ||
                    $::Variable->{CYBER_SERVER} ||
                    'secure.linkpt.net';

    my $storename = $::Variable->{MV_PAYMENT_ID} ||
                    $::Variable->{CYBER_ID}
                    or return undef;

    my $keyfile =   $::Variable->{MV_PAYMENT_PEM}
                    or return undef;


Thanks in advance for any input on this topic. :)

Not sure how one would implement this, but a site I've worked on
had this problem and we came up with a solution of doing multiple
passes, starting with Kevin's first query which finds exact matches.
Then if that pass doesn't produce <the-maximum-results-to-display>
(however you choose that), you do the second of Kevin's queries.
Obviously you rank the exact matches from the first pass above those
in the second pass.

If you just wanted to do it the simplest way, you could always do
both queries for every search and just display it as:

Exact matches on your search:

	<the results from query 1>

Items with similar keywords:

	<the results from query 2>

A slightly-less-simple way might be to do it as a [query] block and
do the second query within the [no_match] block of the first
query.  Then you would run the LIKE query whenever you got nothing
at all from the exact match query.  Not sure how well Interchange
handles queries within queries, though and I have a vague
recollection that it didn't like nesting them at all.

Thanks Jerry and Mike.  If I did thie correctly, this limits
the total length of the string returned.  This can be done
with a [filter ...  as well.  What I wanted was to return a 
limited portion of the text *around* the search term in a
context form.  If that's what you are talking about as well
then I am missing something I guess.

With the code you posted, I guess you would have to 
find the search term in the text, then go either direction, but
I do not know perl.  Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks again!

Why not go the rest of the way and convert the GlobalSub into a
Vend::Payment::LinkPoint module?  It probably wouldn't take up
a lot more of your time and would allow any of the standard
methods of per-site Interchange Payment module configuration to
be used.

Hi,

I am using Interchange 4.8.6 w/cpanel. I am able to use 
[get-url http://domain/]
without any errors. However when I try to use 

[perl]
my $content= $Tag -> get_url("http://domain");
return $content;
[/perl]

I keep getting the following errors.:

" Cannot use get-url tag, no LWP modules installed."
However the following modules are installed on the server.

LWP::Simple (v1.35).
Safe::Hole (v0.08).

Any help will be appreciated.

Just to add some more (untested) SQL to the mix.  Given a user's
search specification of "SK Oce" (for 'sky' and 'ocean'):

Select all weighted matches along with a count of the keywords
that matched.  The 'wordcount' column would, in this case, contain
1 (single keyword) or 2 (both keywords):

    SELECT  sku, COUNT(sku) AS wordcount, SUM(weight) AS skuweight
    FROM    keywords
    WHERE   keyword LIKE '%sk%'
    OR      keyword LIKE '%oce%'
    GROUP BY sku
    ORDER BY wordcount DESC, skuweight DESC

Select all weighted matches, only when both of the keywords have
been found for a particular SKU (a bit like an AND search):

    SELECT  sku, COUNT(sku) AS wordcount, SUM(weight) AS skuweight
    FROM    keywords
    WHERE   keyword LIKE '%sk%'
    OR      keyword LIKE '%oce%'
    GROUP BY sku
    HAVING   wordcount = 2
    ORDER BY wordcount DESC, skuweight DESC

Obviously, the HAVING clause would have to be dynamically generated,
along with the WHERE/OR clauses.

The first of the two SQL statements seems more useful to me, and would
force the more "exact" matches to the top of the list.  You can then
truncate the resultset, either with a LIMIT clause or using Interchange's
"match limit" or "more list".  Best of all, it'd all happen in one pass,
and with one SQL statement, so it'd be reasonably efficient.

Message-ID: <NGBBIJJGCLFDOPNCJOGHAEJECJAA.listbox@email.com>

I'm currently using Quickbooks for all order processing and accounting
duties that are beyond IC.  It's starting to feel like I need more as far as
order processing; probably something that's geared toward retail.  I was
wondering what you guys use/recommend for that.  I suppose I either need
something that can handle both order processing and accounting or else
something for order processing that can hand the accounting duties off to
Quickbooks.  It should also run on Windows.

I know this might be construed as off-topic, but I think you guys would be
best able to help me here since we do all have a lot in common (e-commerce
and IC).

Subject: [ic] Parameters for Interchange tags documented?
Message-ID: <1041557123.3263.26.camel@oc>

Hello all,

I've read all the documentation and still have a few questions about the
parameters for certain Interchange tags.  The loop tag for
instance.....several parameters aren't documented and I can't figure out
what they are and how to use it.  For example, I'd like to take the
category_vertical component and have the categories put in a drop down
menu instead of links....and from this code I can't figure out what to
change to get it to work.....

<!-- BEGIN COMPONENT [control component category_vertical] -->
[timed-build auto=1 if="[control timed 0]" minutes="[control timed 0]"]
[set found_cat][/set]
[loop
        prefix=box
        search="
                fi=area
                st=db
                tf=sort
                ac=0
                ac=0
                co=yes

                sf=sel
                op=eq
                se=[control set_selector left]

                sf=which_page
                op=rm
                se=[control page_class all|@@MV_PAGE@@]
"]

>From the code above, the ac, co and op parameters and values aren't
documented.  Also, the line: se=[control page_class all|@@MV_PAGE@@] -
what does that do?

  <tr>
    <td valign="top" class="categorybar">
      <b>[box-exec bar_link]area[/box-exec]</b>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" class="categorybar">

[set found_cat]1[/set]
[loop prefix=cat
        search="
                fi=cat
                st=db
                tf=sort
                tf=name
                rf=code,name
                sf=sel
                se=[box-code]
        "
        ]
      &nbsp;&nbsp;[cat-exec bar_link]cat[/cat-exec]<BR>
[/loop]

    </td>
  </tr>
[/loop]
[if !scratch found_cat]

I can't find box-exec or cat-exec or *anything*-exec or bar_link.  I'd
be willing to add the necessary documentation to the files if someone
could explain what's going on here.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Kevin

Those parameters are documented in the "Interchange Database" manual.
See sections 5.6 (One-Click Searches) and 5.10 (Search Reference).

The "se" parameter is documented in the places listed above.  [control]
is in the Interchange Tags Reference section 4.14 (control).

The bar_link sub is probably in your catalog_before.cfg file.
[PREFIX-exec] is not documented in the Tags Reference at the moment,
but you'll find a mention in the Interchange Frequently Answered
Questions document section 13.2 (Optimising lists).

The [PREFIX-exec] tag allows a pre-compiled subroutine, such as bar_link
to be executed from within a loop.  The PREFIX name is determined by
the looping tag's parameters.

Documentation submissions are always welcome, although hardly ever
received.  Feel free to submit text for missing sections of the
documentation, or to re-word existing text to better explain a
facility.

Subject: [ic] yet another shipping problem
Message-ID: <20030103061435.90267.qmail@web10007.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I've searched and searched the archives before asking
this to avoid having to ask about yet another shipping
problem on the list.  From the looks of the archives
there have been plenty.  I've been unable to figure
this out though.

I want to give free shipping to dealers and charge a
flat rate of $5 to everyone else.  My shipping.asc
looks like:

usstandard      US Standard     [quantity]      0     
 0       e Nothing to Ship

usstandard      US Standard     [quantity]      1     
 999999  f [perl]if($Scratch->{price_level} eq
"dealer"){$shipprice=0;}else{$shipprice=5.00;}return
$shipprice;[/perl]  {}

and my country.txt looks like:

US      0               US      usstandard      United
States   USA     840

Of course there are also a ton of other countries in
there but I'm only using the US for shipping addresses
currently.

The problem is that when I add something to my cart I
get this:

Note: No match found for mode 'usstandard', quantity
'0', returning 0.

and an empty shipping pulldown.

Anyone see something I'm doing wrong?  Anything else I
should be checking for?

BTW, I can see that price_level is set correctly.

Thanks,

Ryan Grace

Message-ID: <00dd01c2b312$9ec8acd0$7ae331d2@co3041008a>

I have a store that has many items that all have different 'size' options.

I am wondering if I can return a results page with various sizes returned
based on a value in another field in the products database.

i.e. Click here to see related products with recommended sizes to fit your
show size.

(Manufacturer marked sizes (in the product options) is not always same as
the real size so we have given a hidden value for these in the products
table)

Typical Results should yield links to:

Manufacturer - Product - default option
Manufacturer X - shoe Z - size 9       (hidden value 9)
Manufacture Y - show A - size 10     (hidden value 9)
Manufacturer Z - shoe C - size 9 1/2 (hidden value 9)


Another shoe sized person might yield results like:
Manufacturer - Product - default option
Manufacturer X - shoe Z - size 8   -    (hidden value 8)
Manufacture Y - show A - size 9    -  (hidden value 8)
Manufacturer Z - shoe C - size 8 1/2 -  (hidden value 8)


I hope this is clear?

Maybe the question could be better asked, can I create a search for products
which present a link to a product where the default size option changes
based on a hidden value in the products database?

I hope this is now too way obscure a question; please let me know.

Using 4.8.6/mysql

Many thanks in advance for any guidance or yes no answers!!!!

    Are you using product options?  Or do you have a different product for
each size?

I would prefer very much to use the former. i.e. Use single product with
manufacturer size 'options'.

The second way, with a product for each size, makes the search/result
process easy but basic category search result lists are way to big....

Simply add one more display field in your current results page. Make the
added display field as a link to (or search for)  other product(s) based on
the "value in another field"

Thanks Pat, Kevin and John.

I was hoping that the thread would stay close to my pseudo idea. Having
the keywords in a separate table poses many issues. For one, It would
slow down item entry into the database considerably. However I think
Mike is working on new improved LINK model for table linking in ADMIN,
which may help some with *that* issue.

Then, we are working on a sort of "build you own search engine" type
thing. It will allow to narrow the search down by searching any number
of columns (prod_group, cap_group, aspect, type, etc etc).

This would now mean that then Kevin's above solution would have to be a
select join on tables 'keywords' and 'products'... Do you think that
poses any kind of performance issues? Believe me when I say there will
be millions of sku#'s, This makes for a very large keywords table, as
each sku can have 5,6,7,8... keywords.

This can get ugly fast, as I also give the option of "exclude" keywords.

-> At this point is I ask, IS IT POSSIBLE to keep this in the 'products'
table with an ITL search? If not then I will have to look into reworking
our tables and using sql like Kevin suggests, although for many reasons
doing that is about as attractive as my sophomore year girlfriend :-\

-> At that point I ask, will doing Kevin's suggestion, but joining it to
the products table be no good.... or "the wrong direction" ?

Thanks agian for all youses insight!

Paul

    I am a little confused as to how your data is currently laid out (is the
"hidden" size in the product table or option table), but basically you could
issue a query in your flypage that returned rows that matched your hidden
value for the item currently being displayed.  You would then loop through
those results and use it to display your "related" products.

Unless [quantity] is a UserTag for you catalog, that is your problem, since 
there is no such tag in the core ITL. Try using [nitems] instead.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0301031201410.21669-100000@leila.consilium-iii.com>

Here's my environment:
Debian 3.0
Linux 2.4.18-k6
Interchange 4.8 (from the debian package)

running the demo store, I get problems in the UI. Twice now when the web
site developer has tried to work on the store, the UI has crashed leaving
the rest of the store up and running. /var/log/messages shows:

Jan  3 10:19:51 mordred int1: Died in server spawn: Could not tie to
'/var/lib/interchange/catalogs/ghast/products/access.gdbm': Resource
temporarily unavailable at /usr/lib/interchange/Vend/Table/GDBM.pm line
115.

I can fix this temporarily by deleting the access.gdbm file and restarting
interchange (of course I lose settings) but it comes back quickly.

Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

Thanks for the reply Jeff.  Looks like our estore
account was set up incorrectly with Bank of America.

I changed my shipping.asc, removing [quantity] and
replacing with quantity (no brackets).  Now after
restarting I get a shipping price of $153,590,820.00
and no longer get the error about not finding the
method.  The huge shipping cost changes every time I
hit 'recalculate' on teh checkout page, but stays
within a few grand of that number.  The shipping
pulldown is still empty.

Here's what my shipping.asc looks like:

usstandard      US Standard     quantity        0     
 0       0

usstandard      US Standard     quantity   1      
999999  f [perl]if($Scratch->{price_level} eq
"dealer"){$shipprice=0;}else{$shipprice=5;}return
$shipprice;[/perl] {}

I only care if their price_level scratch variable is
set to dealer or not, as shown in the perl code.  Do I
need to use a criteria still like quantity or weight
to calculate shipping cost by?

Thanks,

Ryan

Ok, I figured something out.  I removed the trailing
{} from the second line of my shipping.asc and the
shipping cost is now calculated correctly.  However,
the pulldown menu is still empty.  

Anyone know why the shipping pulldown would be empty
if the shipping.asc is being parsed ok and shipping is
calculated correctly?

Thanks,

Ryan

Couldn't you default to flat shipping with a IF dealer and assign on the
checkout page? My best guess for the syntax is:

[if data userdb::dealer::[data session username] == 1]
[assign shipping="0"]
[/if]

Subject: [ic] Interchange Keeps Dying
Message-ID: <002901c2b354$da53e070$0cc0a8c0@getontothe.net>

Dear List,

I've had a quick skirt around the mailing list archive and can't find a
solution so I'm asking for some hints here.  After some initial problems, I
finally managed to get Interchange up and running, ran a test catalogue and
now have reinstalled it to run as the end-user's accounts rather than
'interch' and moved the data to MySQL whilst in the process.

Everything looks good and appears to be working as expected but the
Interchange server just appears to die randomly for no reason.  Sometimes
it'll die after 20 mins, sometimes after 20 hours, even when I'm still
logged into the system and there is no "idle process killer" daemon running
to my knowledge.

Here are the contents of the various log files:

/tmp/icdebug file:

Start DEBUG at Fri Jan  3 18:06:41 2003
[Note: I restarted the server several times to reflect configuration changes
I was testing, it's not dying every minute!]

Any suggestions as how I can find out -WHY- it keeps dying and how I can

    I should clarify my statement by saying that "multiple users" means
"multiple sessions".  A single physical person could generate multiple
sessions, I do this by opening both IE and netscape.

If you are using an SQL database for most of your tables, I would suggest 
you convert access to SQL and see if that helps. GDBM is weak when it comes 
to multi-user/session access.

Thanks. I had thought of that and checked, but just realized I had missed
one terminal window open on the server itself. Oops!

Though IC should really have a way to not die when this happens. Feature
Request: When an account is logged in more than once, the second user
trying to log in should get a message to the likes of:

"This user is alredy logged in from {hostname}, idle since {last activity
time). Close this old session? (Yes/No)"

I'd try to code this myself, if I knew more about how the interchange
internals work.

Hello All:

Here in sunny New York State, US, we collect tax depending
on the destination town/city or zip. Taxes vary from town
to town and are not the same throughout the state. I see an
option for taxing states, but is there a way to tax all within
a state, % varying?

Also, does anyone already have NYS info within their table
that they can share with me?

Hello:

I've got some items that have options to them, easy. The problem
that I am having is creating further options based on the options
selected. For instance, you've chosen Luggage-A, Luggage-A comes
with the option a handle option, if you've chosen handle option
X, then you are further queried for options on the lining of this
luggage, if you've chosen handle option Z, then you are queried for
the lining of this luggage PLUS the outer finish. 

I hope this all make sense.

I believe that New York State applies a different tax rate depending
upon the county.  I suspect that your local, friendly tax official or
accountant is likely to have more information.

To help you get started with your Interchange setup, you'll find a list
of North American counties here:

    http://www.interchange.RTFM.info/downloads/counties.txt

The file is in a suitably Interchange-friendly format (tab-separated
values).  If you find any errors in there then please let me know.

It sounds like an over-complication to me.  I'd propose a bunch of
<select> lists, something like this:

    Handle options:
        No handle
        Brown Handle
        Green Handle
        Anti-grav unit
        Jet pack

    Lining options:
        No lining
        Furry lining
        Leather lining
        Unspecified sticky green lining
        Lined using yesterday's newspaper

    Outer finish:
        Grey plastic
        Green
        Blue
        Metal
        Wooden

    Other options:
        Plutonium power cell (only available with the anti-grav unit)
        Hair brush (only available with the furry lining)
        �1,000,000 in used notes (costs extra)

If the choice of handle really does determine the choice of 'outer
finish' then you could:

    1) direct the user to a list of options on a second page
    2) modify the available options using JavaScript, or
    3) code the "handle" options to include the "finish" options

Perhaps if you posted a list of options, and their relationship to one
another would, it would make it easier to come up with implementation
ideas.

Hi
I am having a problem with templates.

>From documentation and search results of the mailing lists, I should be able
to reflect templates with the following line in theme.cfg file of the
relevant theme. However this does not seem to work.

DirConfig Variable templates/__THEME__/regions

I found a mention of using catalog.cfg with varible settings like the
following:
    Variable LEFTONLY   [include templates/LEFTONLY]
    Variable LEFTRIGHT   [include templates/LEFTRIGHT]
    Variable LEFTRIGHT_TOP  [include
templates/__THEME__/regions/LEFTRIGHT_TOP]
    Variable LEFTRIGHT_BOTTOM [include
templates/__THEME__/regions/LEFTRIGHT_BOTTOM]

This works however the THEME_CSS set in theme.cfg does not seem to get set
or translated. Using __THEME_CSS__ in LEFTRIGHT_TOP template and index.html
produces a blank. Here is the actual variable seting in catalog.cfg:

Try the following patch.  I'll have a play with it and book it into

Hi All,

I just moved my store from my old server running IC 4.8.5 to a new
server running IC 4.9.3 and now when I try to update the status of an
order via "Ship all lines -> Update the order" I get the following
message in green on the Pending Orders page:

Here is what is in my log file.

Hi All,

I have upgraded form IC 4.8.5 to IC 4.9.3.  I have setup paypal in my
store and it is working with one exception.  When a user selects paypal
it will do the processing and work fine except that it says COD in the
payment method in the transaction table and in the orders screen.  The
email that gets send to me and the user says 'PayPal - Payment made to
sales@daboy.com' but it stores it as COD.

Can someone Please help me figure this out.  It worked fine in 4.8.5.

TIA

Here is how I set it up.

I added PAYPAL_ACCEPTED =1 in my Preferences

****Checkout.html ****
**In the Select section I added:

I just knew that my question was a bit unclear.

What I am needing is a page of search results that will include 'buy now'
buttons. (easy enough)
but clicking 'buy now' will add the item to the cart with a size 'option' as
pulled from the query, not the default option value.

I guess my first question should have been:

Can I create a 'buy now' button that adds an item to the cart with an option
selected other than the default?

Is there an IC tag that allows me to specify a value for an option before an
item is added to a cart?

Thanks in advance

Simon

Message-ID: <000b01c2b49a$29c2f100$0affff0a@msi5>

let me try to see if I can understand

You have
(1) shoes in different sizes (so, need to select which size)
(2) one size of the shoes from different manufacturers that are labeled
differently, but equivalent among them.

Currently:
In your products table, you have one field specifies common, or default
sizes, which is optional for customers to select at time of "buy now"

Your difficulty is:
The manufacturer or their equivalent size number is not specified, and thus,
you don't know which product to ship, or not available for custumer to
choose which manufacturer's product

What you are trying to accomplish is:
give one "buy now" bottom that tells both the size and the manufacuterer (or
the equivalent size given by that manufacterer)

If my understanding is correct, then, I think you'll have to have two
options for customer to specify: size and manufacturer (or their equivalent
size). It's a (x,y) two dimenssion issue that can't be determined by just
giving (x) or (y). This is the same as selecting sizes and colors. No way
can one tell the color from the size. So, adding one more optional field
(manufacture) in the results page should be the easy way. .

To do this, in the "another field", list manufacturer name, instead of the
equivalent size number. Operationally, take the "default" size just as a
reference rather than actual shoe size. Keep a table that maps the "default"
to actual sizes giving by different manufaturers

default  size    1    2    3    4    5    6
size of M.A    3    5    6    8    9    12
size of M.B    2    4    6    8    10    12
size of M.C     (what ever the equivalent size number)
size of M.D    ......
......

If you want to make it easy yourself, simply give the table to your people,
tell them to prepare orders according that table. To avoid confusing, give
"size reference" as the field name of the "default size", rather than simply
"size". So, when your people read the order sheet, they'll know it's a
"reference number", and they have to pick up the right size according the
table.

To be perfect, you can implement that table in your database, bring up the
actual size as a hidden field when customer select a specific manufacterer.
Then, you get "products with various default options", e.g. manufacturer and
actual size given by that manufacturer.

Hope, this is helpful.

Error messages can sometimes be misleading, but intially it appears there 
may be two problems:
         1. write permissions on the orderline table are not set;
         2. Interchange cannot find your sendmail program.

For 1, check the relevant admin pages for the presence of the tag which 
sets write permission on the orderline table, this is usuall [flag 
type=write tables="table list"] or [tag flag write]table list[/tag]. For 2. 
verify the location of sendmail on the command line using 'which sendmail' 
or 'whereis sendmail'.

Darren -

etc/log_transaction has changed quite a bit since the 4.8.x branch. If you 
are using the new 4.9 log_transaction, you are going to need to modify the 
[if ..][elsif ..][else][/if] block at the top of the file to account for 
your new payment method. It should be as easy as inserting this:

[elsif value payment_method eq paypal]
      [comment] do nothing [/comment]
[/elsif]

...right after where it checks if mv_order_profile eq cod.

Message-ID: <000001c2b4fd$e566f290$1400a8c0@vacuum.local>

Hi,

Recently I have been trying to install the standard 4.8.3 version of
interchange on a debian woody system and I don't seem to be getting anywhere
fast. Problem is that it asks if I want it to create the user and group
interchange; if I answer yes installation hangs at the point 
Adding system group: .

and does nothing more. Only thing I can do is hit Ctrl-C and try again which
results in exactly the same problem. If I answer no to the question "do I
want to create the user interchange?", then it keeps coming back with the
same question again, I can only hit Ctrl-C to abort. Does anyone have any
ideas how to solve this problem? I have also tried the 4.8.6.20021206-1
version and this also seems to give me the same problem. Installation hangs
at the point where it says adding system group.

Hope somebody out there knows an answer as all the searches I've tried
didn't find this problem.

Kind regards

Thanks Ed.

I edited etc/log_transaction and added the following after the check for
COD and it worked great.

[elsif value mv_order_profile eq paypal]
	Payment: [value name=mv_payment set="PayPal"]
[/elsif]

Hi,

I think sendmail is in the right place as email is sent to me and the
customer when the order is placed.  I don't have shell access right now
but I will check the exact location later.
I am not sure where to look in the admin pages for the presence of the
write permission tag.  Can you give me a hint of where to look?

Thanks
Darren

Subject: [ic] There was an error adding to the transaction log.
Message-ID: <BA3E242F.224E%abellmt@spsp.net>

My working catalogs work fine, buy my demo catalog keeps recording "There
was an error adding to the transaction log." in the logs/log file.  (Nothing
is recorded in the error.log for the catalog or for interchange.)  Running
IC 4.8.1 under RedHat using mySQL (3.23.53a) for main data tables.

Compared demo to working catalog for log_transaction (identical),
profiles.order (identical) and permissions on the mysql tables
(transactions, orderline, userdb, products, cat) which look OK.  Can
manually add records to these tables, which have all the same fields as the
working catalog.   Can't say the checkout pages are identical for the
working and non-working catalogs (mostly page layout changes); the essential
stuff looks the same.

One thing I added to demo was quickbooks logging (which works).  Removing it
from ORDER_ROUTES stops quickbooks logging, but doesn't restore transaction
logging.  The Route section of catalog.cfg is identical for the working and
non-working catalogs except for the addition of the quickbooks statements.

(Tried the searchable archive, but concluded there was something wrong with
it at the time.  When I clicked links that looked very relevant, I usually
got an unrelated item.)

Anyone got a clue where to look next?

Ian,
This same problem has been driving me nuts!
When you created your style sheet:
did you create it in a text editor and set the TEME_CSS variable equal to
the path to your CSS file?
Or, were you required to use "Personal CSS / set styles" under the
Preferences tab in the AdminUI?

Thanks for any info.
Jeff

I just cut and paste the style code from the theme.cfg file into a new
style.css file and changed the settings. Then set the Variable THEME_CSS to
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path-to-file/style.css" type="text/css">

i looked at that Personal CSS page but opted to leave it alone. When I read
the help that came with the page (see below) I did not want to escalate any
problems and opted for something that I did know about.
--- snipit from help
The Knar table stores store-wide configuration information. If you don't
know about store-wide configuration, it probably won't help you much. On the
other hand, if you just can't find the place to tweak the value you're
looking for, it might be worth poking around (gently!) in here.

Hope it helps.

'Personal CSS' applies to administrators logged into the UI only.

Themes is the right place for CSS to be applied to the customer-facing
shopping cart.

Is it difficult to place that line in the help screen or somewhere equally
"obvious".

My immidiate thought here was, that if you have a panel for CSS changes on
the AdminUI, why not a panel for CSS changes to the customer pages? Surely
that would be far more important. To employ two different methods for CSS
alterations can only create confusion. Perhaps a future enhancement might be
that the customer CSS solution be similar to the AdminUI CSS solution. If
anything it saves having to learn two methods and remembering it.

Nice to know though.

Ian

Hello, Matthew !

I have no idea why this should fail in the addgroup command. As a workaround,
create the interchange user/group before installation:

addgroup interchange
adduser --system --ingroup interchange --home /usr/lib/interchange interchange

The Personal CSS was nearly removed completely during 4.9 development. There
was a good reason why it stayed in the end, but I can't remember what it
was..

I think the reason CSS for the shopping cart is not in a database is due to
the way the shopping cart templates and themes are constructed. Taking parts
of this out of the file structure and putting them in the configuration
database table would make it more difficult to drop in a new theme or
template.

That said, some pointers as to the purpose of the personal css would
probably help a bit. I'll see what I can do..

Hi Racke,

Thanks for your reply, but alas it helps not. Now when I try to install
interchange it doesn't ask me whether I want to create the user and group,
it just goes ahead and does it and still hangs at the point where it says
adding system group: .

I did purge the configs from dselect before attempting reinstallation. Don't
know if that makes a difference...

Greetings

Matthew

Can you send the complete installation output to me ?

Do you use authentication against /etc/passwd or something different ?

Subject: [ic] Setting a default value in Table Editor seems not to work
Message-ID: <PBEAKFLPAMBMOAAHMENNGEEEEKAA.interchange-users@hertell.com>

Hi,

I'm having a table that I let my users modify, and I wanted to set a
timestamp, some browser info, username into a few fields each time the
record is modified. The problem is when I'm using the force_defaults=1 I get
empty values in all fileds exept the default.foo_field when editing a
record. Is there any other way I could use to update some fields with data
when a record is updated?

Regards, Ren�

Hi,
I recently upgraded from 4.8 to 4.9.5 and now am unable to add items into
the catalogue. My original site was based on the foundation catalogue
however once I deleted all the nail and hammers etc.  I am unable to add in
any new items. The new item page is displayed and the item id/sku increments
each attempt to add a new item but no data is saved into the database. I am
using mysql and this problem seems to be specific to this catalogue and db
as the other foundation we have as a test site works fine, any ideas what
the problem may be ?

It depends upon where you are initiating the 'ship orders' action, but the 
pages I would check would be admin/order and admin/order_status. You won't 
find these pages in your pages/admin directory unless you have put them 
there; they are normally located in VENDROOT/lib/UI/pages/admin.

The difference between the default db and MySQL is the 'NOT NULL' feature.

There are many fields in the products table which require information to be
entered, for example, price. I have a suspicion that the DEFAULT ''s within
the table defs are not being applied, although I have not recently generated
a new table to prove this is the case.

The workaround is to make sure all the fields which are set to be NOT NULL
have data entered. To find out which these are, see the
<catroot>/dbconf/mysql/products.mysql file.

Could you protect my identity? And post this to the forum?  It's NOT THE FORUM

Some of our family work in higher profile positions and deal with potentials of a 
lot of judgement as it pertains to religous and spiritual differences in philosophy.

We need some help badly with the site.  It's been up for a couple of years and I
wondered if a domain might moves things along.  It's gotten good traffic at times
and all but one search engine has something on it listing or a link to it.

Thanks ever so much for any help you might consider.

Dear Phillip,

I found some of your wisdom on a Google search in which I was trying to search for information 
about a 301 permanent change.  

You wrote, (quoting Google Guy) "301 is the only way if your going to redirect and expect rankings."
I continue to read this same opinion on the net in forums amongst web masters but I am still having 
trouble.  Could I presume upon your understanding and experience to ask a question or two?

We have nice placements in all the search engines, with our site on Angelfire.  We want 
the crawlers or spiders to eventually show us at our new domain.  I had read that some spiders 
didn't keep a listing of a site, when moving a web site from one spot to another, if the HTML (change) 
was done in the meta tags.  I wish I'd bought a domain name from the beginning.  Live and learn.

Would using a 301 change vary in a free site as I'm not getting it to function?  For one 
thing the editor won't even let me save a .htaccess but it will a htaccess (note the lack of the ".")

Below are the directions I used: 


1) Create a file in Notepad called htaccess.txt and store it in same directory on your hard drive as your index.html file. 
2) put lines like these in it: 

Send a permanent redirect from our old files to our new files and to handle 404 Errors 
errorDocument 404 /page-not-found.html 
Redirect permanent /old-missing-page-1.html http://www.your-url.com/new-replacement-page-1.html 
Redirect permanent /old-missing-page-2.html http://www.your-url.com/new-replacement-page-2.html 

3) save the file to your hard drive 
4) upload to your root directory on your host server. 
5) rename the file to ".htaccess" (without the quotes) 
6) test it to make sure it works! 


I had no luck, though I did find myself trying a lot of things in this formula, as I felt my take on it was 
different than the author meant it to be.  I was either having early senior moments or an attack of
dyslexia, heaven knows but the result or answer won't come through my tiny brain. ;)  I'm self taught
and perhaps too much a point and click, visual learner.  I tried such variations as 
/biz/6/desertmoonprofiles etc and nothing would help shake this into gear.  I couldn't tell where 
I should be typing this code for sure either, in the body of the page or the meta tags?

The current site is:

http://www.angelfire.com/biz6/desertmoonprofiles/

The new site is:

 RE. Jonathans post regarding NOT NULL db fields.

 Thanks for the post, had a quick shot at sorting it out but still no joy.
First off I had a look at the database structure, like you suggested
(<catroot>/dbconf/mysql/products.mysql).  Now there are a few things here
that I don't quite understand, although I might be wrong with this.

 Certain fields state that they should not have null values, however the
default value that is specified is clearly NULL i.e. category=VARCHAR(64)
NOT NULL DEFAULT ''.  Now I really don't understand this - but I went on as
you suggested.  I went to the New Item section and started to add in a new
item, ensuring that I filled in all the fields which required values.  My
first problem was this, the db structure for products starts withRE.

Database products KEY sku
Database products COLUMN_DEF "sku=char(64) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY"
Database products COLUMN_DEF "description=VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL"
Database products COLUMN_DEF "title=VARCHAR(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL"
Database products INDEX title
Database products COLUMN_DEF "template_page=VARCHAR(64)"

- now when I go to New Item, I don't have any 'title' field displayed - thus
no way of entering a value for this (Problem no.1).

So not wanting to be put of I went to the table section of admin and
displayed the products table as a spreadsheet - now I see the 'title' field
as well as all the others that weren't displayed - however now I have a
whole host of other fields that don't seem to be defined in the products
table i.e. tax_category,dl_type, dl_location.  Now I don't know what these
fields are or what they relate to, or for that matter, what value, if any
they need.  Are these values defined in another table?  Why is the 'title'
field not displayed on the New Item page, if it has to hold a value? And
how, please, please can I get some products back into my system.  Could the
structure of my sql database be corrupted some how as a result of the
upgrade.

Sorry about the length of post, thanks in advance,

Hi
having tried to get the sales tax to display on the checkout form, I feel I
must be missing something. Have looked at salestax.asc and changed it
(originally set at fly-tax). Even default .25 produced nothing.

I have the following variables settings when the checkout form is viewed:
Area: SE
Rate: SE=25
Field: multi
Ship: __TAXSHIPPING __

Short of hard coding to get the 25% value I need. How do I set this? It
would be nice to have country selection but just to one value of 25% would
be sufficient for now.

Regards,
Ian

I have already developed a basic store using interchange 4.8.3.  I have
been commissioned now with the job of developing an online order taking
system.  I do not yet have the specifics but basically, this system
would allow a user to create an account, log in, and place service
orders online.  The system would store the customer #, name, address,
etc.....as well as the unit model and serial numbers in a database to be
exported in csv format nightly.  That is really all I a going on right
now (just got this assignment before lunch).  I was hoping someone out
there may have done this in the past.

Hi Mike,

If you are a super-user then just click on "Item editor"... the red link at
top above the limit with search input on your item list page. This will
allow you to edit the meta display for your items and dislay of them in
ADMIN. NOTE the "Edit page" tab. Somehow your 'title' got hidden from you,
no biggie, just go into meta and put it back into "Fields to edit".

Also, I have not been following this too much, but have you checked your
error log? I went from 4.8.3 to 4.9.x and I seem to remember not being able
to add items. It came down to me needing to add a new column to table
mv_metadata, the column was named 'extended'.

I don't know why, but it cleard up alot of problems... so check if you have
that column in mv_metadata, if you don't, then add it.

HTH

I did a search on the list archives, but was unable to find anything; I

Interchange is running on RedHat 7.3, perl 5.6.1.

Access to interchange is via another server running mod_proxy 
(server1/duncan/cgi-bin --> server2/cgi-bin).

When trying to edit content in several browsers on Linux, MacOS X, and 
Windows (Netscape 7, IE 5.5, IE 6), every time I hit "publish" or 
"preview" I am logged out and have to log back in. The changes never 
take. Other form operations, such as setting parameters in the admin 
prefs section took just fine.

The entry in the error.log file immediately after this occurs is:
/cgi-bin/pbsinteractive/process.html Runtime error: Must have type and 
name for save_store, args were:  at 
/usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/ContentEditor.pm line 108.

After logging in again, I get a 500 error, and cannot get in unless I 
discard the session info in the URL.

The apache error log shows this, but only infrequently (twice out of the 
many times I have attempted to publish):
File does not exist: 
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/interchange/en_US/[page_param ui_page_image]

Line 108 of ContentEditor.pm reads:
die("Must have type and name for save_store, args were: " . join(" ", @_))
                 unless $type and $name;

and is within the save_page sub. save_page seems to be called from 3 
other places, but I only checked one, in the sub page_editor.

vi +2715 /usr/local/interchange/lib/UI/ContentEditor.pm

I uncommented the '::logDebug' for the page edit in that sub, enabled 
debugging to the icdebug file, restarted ic, and duplicated the 
error-prone process. Here's the output:

UI::ContentEditor:debug: in page_editor, name=index.html

It seems to me that the vars that are claimed to be missing, aren't...?

I then returned to the save_store sub and added the following line right 
before the 'die':

::logDebug("This is from the save_store sub: type=$type, name=$name, 
value=$value");

which output the following:

UI::ContentEditor:debug: This is from the save_store sub: type=page, 
name=index.html, value=HASH(0x95cf170)

In straw-grasping, I set the perms on pages to 777, and all the dirs 
above it are either 755 or 777 (depseration), to no avail.

A note: these logDebugs fire off only when the page is selected (via 
clicking a link) to be edited. Once in the editor, they don't get hit. 
The form points back to this same page, content_editor.html and I don't 
know where to turn next. What follows is the xmp dump in case this is of 
use:

Message-ID: <000001c2b5bd$ee4e4af0$ef0329d0@vl2k>

I am using IC 4.9.5

I have set up an item with simple options , 3 select widgets, and 1 Text
Entry Widget.

The options show fine during checkout process, However, the receipt and
the Email does not show the value of the Text Entry, It just shows the
label !!
Whereas, the other options show both label and value.!!!
Looking further in the admin / orders , and the options are shown with
their labels and values intact..!

I have seen through the archive that this has been issue for others in
previous versions, is this a bug, or is there a work-around ???

Thanks.

I've seen this before when IC has trouble getting data from the UPS Server.
I switched over to internal tables because of this - not reliable enough. I
wrote a couple of tags that use internal tables, and fallback to web lookup
in special cases if you need it.

Does anyone know how to get input type=image tags to assign mv_click info?

I have a client who wants his store to be totally workable with
non_javascript browsers, but he wants all the images to be buttons.

I've tried naming the buttons mv_click name
i.e. <input type='image' src='someimg.jpg' name='mv_click Checkout'>
    and <input type='image' src='someimg.jpg' name='mv_click_Checkout'>

but neither seem to work.

Message-ID: <001701c2b5c4$9ec47d90$d701a8c0@w3itdev>

An update.

I found the following post that suggests 4 ways to setup tax.
http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2002-October/028173.ht
ml

Seeing as this particular site is Swedish based (for now) and only requires
the one tax code I went for the same method described for a UK setup. The
link fails in the above post fails due to to many full stops... try this
one:
http://www.webmaint.net/interchange/uksetup.html

In following the instructions and substituting where required for Sweden,
all goes well until step 5. Setting the TAXFIELD is no problem. When I come
to the next part I am confronted with a different panel and cannot set the
tax type.

I figure this is due to the TAXFIELDS setting, but no matter if set to multi
or state, I cannot set the tax type. All I can do is set "location", "tax
rate", and "apply to shipping charge".

Any pointers appreciated.
Ian

I don't think there's a problem with your data. Not all the fields in the
products.txt file are defined in the products.mysql. This just means that
they get the default data type when the table is created.

Subject: [ic] 'batch' add to admin cart from another IC cart
Message-ID: <000001c2b5d5$4211f5d0$ab7ba8c0@abhlaptop>

Hi all,

I know the subject probably sounds confusing, but I need
some input on this project.  Here's what I am trying to
accomplish:

On a Local Intranet running IC 4.8.6 (can be changed)
CSR's can really quickly find all the items and set them
aside for later reference (in the shopping cart).  if the
call turns into an order, I would like to add the whole
cart to the Live UI entry page's cart. (another server 
in another location running 4.8.3 currently)

I figured out how to set up a link with the following
components, but it seems like it would be quite
insecure:
   cart.cgi?mv_action=return
   &mv_click=MMLogin
   &mv_username=(username)
   &mv_password=(password)
   &mv_nextpage=admin/entry
   &mv_order_item=(some sku)
   &mv_order_item=(another sku).. etc.
would that be a bad idea?

I also thought of already being logged in in another
window, and have some sort of textarea or some-
thing that would process this 'batch' that would be
pasted from the other cart or something ....

I would like some input on what would be the
best way to approach this

Thanks

I have one shipping method in my shipping.asc, shown

$5 if not.  The shipping cost is being calculated
correctly at checkout, but the shipping pulldown menu
is empty.  Anyone know why this might be?  I've tried
everything I can think of.  My country.txt is set up

   I did have that exact same problem.  The problem is with the orderline
table write permission, which doesn't make any sense to me since there is:

[flag type=write tables="orderline transactions"]

right in the order_status.html page.  Does anyone know if this been
corrected since 4.9.3?  It seems like a bug that most people would run into.
What ended up happening with my catalog was WRITE_CONTROL statements were
added to catalogs/ic493/dbconf/default_db/orderline.dbm to make the table
"writable" all the time.  I hope this isn't a security problem.  I would
love to know about a better solution if anyone has one.

In foundation, a search for Shoe yields a results list that includes a link
and 'buy now' for 'Leather Shoe' with size option 7. (default)

Can this be done:

Create a search using IC tags that will yield a results list that will
present a link and 'buy now' button to 'Leather Shoe' with an option other
than the default?

or even something like: Click here to buy 'Leather Shoe' size 9.

(I would like to present all shoes with sizes as 'options' rather than list
each individual shoe and shoe size as seperate products)

Hope this question is simpler and straightforward enough. Even a yes/no
answer will help here.


Apologies again for previous complex and 'bad' question.

Message-ID: <3E1A3991.ADB7C8A0@attglobal.net>

I'm sure this will be an easy answer for most here but
I can't find a way to accomplish it.

    With in the results page I'm trying to determine
all the mv_values that are set from the user's selection.
In other words. User clicks on a product link which
sets up all the search specifications such as DB, Field,
and value to search for.  How can I grab that information
from with the results page ??
This is working from a modified foundation catalog
from IC 4.9.3

Appreciate any pointers.

    Sure.  Save the size in a scratch variable and use it on the results
page to preselect a choice in the option selectbox.  You
will need to replace the call to item-options with a handrolled option
display.  Look at the source for

http://shop.sophee.com/sophee/00191.html?show_source=1

    and the browser-rendered version (without the show_source parameter) to
get an idea of how manual option building might be done (the scrunchy colors
are item options), although places that you see the item number seemingly
hard-coded are actually [item-code] calls.

    This page overall is an example of poor coding, I load the option list
two or three times when it only needs to be done once.  "I'll go back and
fix it".

It really has nothing to do with more than one user on the same account.
It is just GDBM timing out for write after a long access holds off a 
user for more than a certain period of time.

I suppose I could put in a Limit parameter that makes that configurable.

I am building a Finnish web shop, and when done, I contribute the
admin translation to you. (there is a lot of stuff, and might take some time)

Some questions have popped up though - and did not find it from any
documentation.

How to invalidate user session when user presses logout button?
Now it nicely tels that user has logged out, but still all user
information is still there and can be modified pressing Services button.

Also a session must be invalidated after non registered user checkout.
Now the Service button allows to modify the dummy profile. The point is:
Client has no idea whate the dummy userid / password is, but still
the information is there after checkout.

This is also a security matter, you can shop using a public terminal and
after you the next user can see all you stuff if he/she is clever enough
and also could order some extra stuff to you :-(

There's no need to 'invalidate' the session.  You can clear the user's
session variables by adding a clear=1 parameter to the [userdb logout]
tag.  The session can be safely reused once the user has logged out.

Well, they could but they'd have to use their own credit card as that
information is not stored in the session at all.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33L2.0301070246270.457-100000@butch.cubesearch.com>

Hi there,

First time post, so be kind.  :)  Referenced [links] at the bottom of the
post. *

When clicking on 'design' from the admin page, I get a 500 internal server
error.  Nothing in any logs which I can find.

Interchange 4.8.6 (via tarball)
Mandrake 9.0 [1]
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.26
Perl 5.8.0
Digest::MD5 found (v2.22).
LWP::Simple found (v1.36).
MIME::Base64 found (v2.16).
SQL::Statement found (v0.1021).
Safe::Hole found (v0.08).
Storable found (v2.06).
Tie::Watch not found. Minor: cannot set watch points in catalog.cfg.
URI::URL found (v5.03).
GDBM available (v1.06)
No Berkeley DB_File.
DBI enabled (v1.32), available drivers: ExampleP, Proxy, mysql

After searching the archives, I found quite a bit of talk [2] about this
problem [3], which seems to hint at it being related to apache 2.0.  I'm
not running apache 2.0, but I'm having the same problem.  The default
Mandrake "Extranet" apache is loaded with stuff - - mod_perl via separate
apache process, etc.  I have no problems running other stuff (perl, php,
mysql, etc, etc) under this setup.

A related patch [4] was released, and put into the RPMs [5].

At this point, I'm not sure what's going on, as I've personally validated
that the version of IC I'm running (4.8.6), has this 'patch'.

How can I crank up the verbosity of IC?  I've never seen such... umm...
lackluster errors from perl/apache before... normally much more shows up
in the logs...

Please let me know if I can provide more info on this problem; I'm really
quite lost at this point... :)

Thanks in advance,
Eric Johanson

The demo version online works fine and I am able to change tax settngs for
Sweden and reflect the correct sales tax total in checkout.html.

The Administration/Tax link on my system seems to be incorrect. The online
demo has a drop down list entitled select country. All I have is a place to
insert a location. Obviously somewhere along the line something has confused
the tax settings, as no matter what fixes I try from the material I find at
this site, nothing changes the salestax result.

How do I get the Administration/Tax page set so I can choose a country and
therefore set up the tax codes for Sweden, etc.

Ian

directory under both my images directory and the tmp directory.  I placed
my banners here.  I loaded my table with data and have tried several
variations but cannot seem to get my banners to display.

This is the code I have in my page:

[banner weighted=1 category="horizontal" interpolate=1]

I added the interpolate based on what I found searching the ml archive

Here is the data I am using as far as data:

code      category    weight    rotate     banner
i1        horizontal  5         0          <img
src="/store/images/banners/SPFC-DVD02_V_121002.jpg" border="0"
alt="FLCL2">
i2        horizontal  5         0          <img
src="/store/images/banners/PIO-11826_V_12.07.02.jpg">

I also checked the error log and I am not reporting any errors...

So I guess my question is what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Alex

A fix...

Well I am not sure if this is the correct approach but at least I get the
result I am looking for.

I noticed there is a peice of Javascript code that causes a pop-up warning
with the sales tax detailed. The tax was correct in this pop-up! To keep
this email brief, I changed the sales tax from:

<TD ALIGN=left class="contentbar1">Sales Tax:</TD>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT class="contentbar1">[salestax]</TD>

to read:

<TD ALIGN=left class="contentbar1">Sales Tax:</TD>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT class="contentbar1">
       [loop list="__TAXAREA__"]
           [currency][fly-tax [loop-code]][/currency]
       [/loop]
</TD>

I hope this helps if you find yourself with the same problem Note that
instead of salestax, flytax is used. I suspect my Admin is corrupt, as from
what I can tell, I have setup for multi but the Administration/tax form is
showing the simpletax.html form and not the tax.html form.

Perhaps this will clear on the next upgrade... and then make my checkout
page useless! We shall see.

Regards
Ian

None of that will work. Because of the way type=image works, it doesn't
actually send such a variable.

Interchange does support an mv_click_map facility, though. This should
be detailed in the docs.

Thanks Grant,

It is not possible for me to upgrade IC.  Can you tell me which

Subject: [ic] some praise where praise is due
Message-ID: <000601c2b68a$7454ece0$ab7ba8c0@abhlaptop>

All too often we only hear complaints when things don't
go so well, and very little praise is given where it is due.
I thought I would put in my 2 cents worth to this list.

Over the past few months I have been working on a 
some deeper development with some IC sites and a
complete Intranet for CSRs.

Sure, IC is said to have a 'steep learning curve', and
only working with the software for a little over a year
I will attest to that.  However, most of the things I 
attempted actually turned out to be pretty easy once
you figured out the right way to do it.

Even with little knowledge of perl, it is very powerful.
However, with the extensive usage of perl in some
of the admin pages and lots of great little snips on
this list, even someone with little knowledge of perl
like me can come up with some pretty cool little
features if you do a little searching and have some guts.

Interchange is extremely modifiable to suit your 
individual needs, very powerful and up-to-date,
and second-to-none in my opinion.

A big round of applause to the writers of this program
as well as everyone who takes a part in this list. 

Thanks again to all the people that have helped me
with various things through this list.

Darren,

You would probably want that file�s contents to look like this:

Database            orderline    orderline.txt     TAB
Database            orderline    WRITE_CONTROL          1
Database            orderline    WRITE_ALWAYS           1

Please do keep in mind that this makes the orderline table always writable.
Also, if you�re using the SQL database instead of the default one, these
instructions will need some adjustment.  Actually, isn�t the SQL database
writable all the time?

I'm in complete agreement here too. To date I've developed a total of
17 Web sites driven by Minivend or Interchange. When we were first
contracted to develop an e-commerce site, I spent a lot of time
searching for a package that would allow the flexibility to completely
customize and integrate the e-comm components with the rest of the
site. Nothing came close to meeting my needs until I was introduced to
Minivend.

Not only is MV/IC flexible enough to be totally customized on the front
end, but it's also robust enough to address any and every need that's
come up in the variety of projects that I've used it for (from
e-commerce catalog to a "virtual tour" of an artist's studio). As I've
mentioned in other posts to this list, I'm not a programmer by trade.
I'm trained in the graphic arts but have enough computer knowledge and
experience to hack my way through customizing simple PERL scripts and
the like (and I continue to learn).

For several of the solutions I've developed to address the needs of
various projects, I've taken my own approach and broken off of the
paved MV/IC road. As I've worked more and more with IC, I've been
learning every step of the way about the "right" and "wrong" ways to do
things (with much appreciated help from Mike Heins, Kevin Walsh, and
others on this list). My most recent projects involving IC forced me
into using the existing features of the foundation catalog and admin
component and now, based on what I've learned from those experiences,
I've got a list of some improvements to make to the solutions I've
developed in the past.

True, IC's documentation could be improved -- and I'm sure it will be
over time (it's difficult to document something of this caliber in the
first place). True, there are some topics that people are frequently
asking about but the answers lie buried or cannot be found. But all in
all, Interchange is a great system and it more than meets my needs.

All who have contributed to the development of Interchange and keeping
it alive through all that's happened over the last few years deserve
many thanks from all of us who make use of this system.

And for those of you who have read this far, I thank you for hearing me
out. I was going to write a quick response, but just couldn't express
what I wanted to in so few words.

Mike Heins, and all the rest, THANK YOU and keep up the great work!


Sincerely,
Tom Burton

Has anyone developed an affiliate program for the newer 
version of Interchange? I have searched archives and 
recent newsletters and the only mentions are of people 
wanting to do one without a single mention of a complete 
one. 

To be clear I am not looking to integrate with a third 
party. We are looking into developing our own where we can 
offer quarterly payments through PayPal or monthly store 
credits.

I have briefly played with the affiliate features in 4.9.2 
but could not seem to get them to work as expected and 
could not find much in the way of help. Looking for 
something where customers can easily sign up with minimal 
interaction on our part. Any ideas or pointers for how 
others have gone about development of such a feature are 
greatly appreciated.

This was working fine for me in 4.9.3 !!

I used the Demo site, and it seems that that does not work either..!!

May be I am missing something ???

I am using the foundation store, with  etc/after.cfg as supplied in the

The user was also set up as dealer.. !!

In 4.9.3 we have price level !! and that does not show in 4.9.4 !!

    Sure, take a look at etc/log_transaction .  That is where the entry into
orderline is made, inside of an import block there.

    I have a simple affiliate system running under IC but it only tracks
traffic and sales.  It doesn't handle signup (I manually enter the
affiliates) and it doesn't track payouts.  I think the issue is if you look
at the level of functionality supported by a full-fledged affiliate system
it's an application unto itself.

Hi Alex,

"Affiliates" is a pretty general term IMO. When I looked into setting up
affiliates I looked at the demos stuff and was surprised to find that it
wasn't more than area where other stores, or websites, can get credit for
sending customers your way... that is unless I was not doing something
right.

I recently started on (my definition of) an affiliates interface called AFI
(affiliate fulfillment Interface). It will be where a person can sell items
on our website, but he will ship them out himself (and other scenarios). We
take care of marketing, payment, website, etc etc, and they log into the
AFI, and ship their products. They only see their relevant portion of the
order. It is in it's very early stages, mostly just the initial shipment
view page that weeds out their products and shows relevant order
information.

That is what I thought affiliates were :) anyways, I am on another project
for right now, but still do a little work it in my spare time. The plans are
growing into a place where they can input products into the database, but on
(in a way) inactive, awaiting for admin approval.

Mine will take a while because we also sell downloads so it must facilitate
swapping files around safely and logically for admin review.

Anyways, I am trying to get my taxes done right now, but after next week, I
would be happy to share any code with anybody else who is implementing a
similar affiliates facility. I believe I remember Jeff Dafoe commenting on
the affiliates portion of IC, he made it seem like they logged into ADMIN,
and were able to see/do all sorts of cool things... but I don't get that
impression, because pages/affiliate is basically what I described in my
first paragraph. But he seemed to think it was better than the type of bread
that is sliced.

He could be right, he is very knowledgeable (has a nice shop), either that
or Mike Heins is secretly selling "Interchange XP" behind our backs ;)


Also, I have a type of wishlist/registry I suppose. It is called a
'mediabox'. Customers can create an account, and places any item into their
mediabox. They can Add, Delete, Name, Rename, Describe... their mediabox(s).
Then, the item can be Copied, Moved, Deleted between the mediaboxes, and you
can add multiple items to any mediabox all at once. The cool feature is you
can 'invite' people into you mediabox, IOW we provide a facility called
Client View, where the invited folks can input (1.original persons username,
2. box name, 3. arbitrary password) and then see all the persons choices. It
is going to evolve to a collaboration area. Inviting people is automated in
the accounts section.

It is pretty cool. You need Mysql database, as one of the tables has a
unique key spread over two columns, although it could probably be rewritten.
I also heavily use SQL instead of IC imports. However I so so inside of the
[query] tag, which I get the impression you don't need a mysql db to use in
conjunction with.

Anyways, I would be happy to share that as well, however it would take a
while to get all portions together (about pages and two tables) and notes,
and post as-is after next week. I say as-is because I don't have the time
right now to pretty it up and make a tutorial.

Sorry for the long post, let me know if there is any interest and I will get
some stuff together next week. Also, if people want to see the media box,
give me some lead time to make sure my development sites version is still
functional, as I don't want bogus accounts on my live system. But hey, maybe
between us all we could get a wishlist and other affiliate stuff going.
e.g., The wishlist would need to be restructered for general non Mysql
use... etc

HTH

I went ahead and made the change to the etc/log_transaction file.
However, it didn't work. The field is called "brand" and is in the
products table. I'm using mySQL as my RDBMS.

When adding additional fields to the products, is there anything I
should do after I altered my table in mySQL? I do issue a restart so IC
can notice the column exists.

hmm, I dunno. I AM able to pull an arbitrary field inside of the item_list
on the demo cart on the devgroup site, but it seems I cannot do this either
on my site, which is also using Mysql...

I am using an OnFly routine, but I think it should still work, and I am 99%
sure it works that way. You should be able to use:

[item-field fieldname]
[item-data table fieldname]

inside of an item_list. hmmm. this catalog is on 4.9.3 (an old
nightly_build), I will upgrade tomorrow and test it more.

TIA

You could use the [value] tag's "set" parameter or, if you have a
block of Perl nearby, you could delete the value from there.

You may find the "Interchange Tags Reference" document useful here.

Message-ID: <HBEKIBJJPJOJADAIAHKGKEGOCBAA.rkelly@encocontainer.com>

Hello group,

I have created a product table column called nmfc and store the N.M.F.C
freight classes for my inventory in it.  However unlike other Shipping
companies the Common Carriers that deal with this type of freight want up to
6 separate NMFC class numbers.  So when I do my lookup up and build the Url
for the lookup I need to pass the variable not as a total but as a
concatenated string of some kind.

I am having trouble figuring out where in IC to assign a "nmfcstringtotal"
variable in or near the checkout.html file or even if it is there.  Where
can I create this new summary type variable and how to I concatenate it?

Example:

product  	qty	$	weight	nmfc(the field I added)
A        	10	3.50	50		77.5
B		5	2.50	100		65
C		25	3.00	300		100
D		10	4.00	100		60
===================================================
		50	13.00	$1		$2


The rules for weight in this case will be the same but I need to focus on
the nmfc right now
how in IC do I add the new items nmfc field in a way that it will come out
as a string such as..

$2= ("77.5", "65", "100", "60")

Once I figure out the nmfc I can figure out the separated weights.

Do I need to create new tags with perl scripts?
Where Do I assign+initialize the new temporary String Variable that will
contain the $2
I will later need to break down $2 into separate variables in a perl script
I know.  But I cant figure out how to create the total string.  I know that
Once I can create $2 I just pass it via the shipping variables in
shipping.asc.. not a problem

I did search through the tags reference a number of times but
obviously wasn't searching on the right key words.
"set" and "undef"   who would have guessed :))

Subject: [ic] How to add a subscriber-based reminder service?
Message-ID: <1042047698.1281.36.camel@giesbrecht.redhat.org>

I would like to add a piece of functionality that would invite users to
sign up for a service that would remind them when it is time to replace
worn-out parts on their vacuum. After signing up, they would receive a
message after a specified duration reminding them to replace
such-and-such, with a one-click link to buy the product on-line.

The subscription portion would record which vacuum they own, the last
time each particular part was replaced, possibly factors such as amount
of use, then calculate a replacement interval and date of first
replacement.

A cron job would run daily to check the date of the next replacement
against the current date, and send out reminders when the two are equal.
The next replacement date would then be updated.

Another idea would be to provide multiple links in the reminder email,
to assess the consumer's course of action, something like:

buy online
remind me in 7 days
no plans to buy anytime soon

which would update replacement date records. I have no idea how that
could be done yet, except that there would have to be a web page that
would process the last two options. For the first item, a purchase of a
replacement part should trigger when the next reminder should go out.

So, my questions are:
1. how to provide a means for users to sign up? this could be part of an
online account signup, but I'd also like to make it easy to sign up with
minimal info
2. how to process the sign-up?
3. how to access the db via a cron job to email out the reminders?
4. how to process the links in the reminder email?

Thanks,
Gerry

I know this subject has been beat to death, but I searched the archives
and found some information on this subject, but most deal with multiple
boxes of equal weight.

I am shipping items in individual boxes, of various weights.  The total
weight can go over the 150 pound limit for UPS.  I am only shipping via
UPS, so I need to only query UPS for the shipping costs.  Another problem
is that a line item in my cart can have two boxes of equal weight, that
will ship separately.

I have modified the foundation demo, graphically, but used the underlying
engine.  In the products db, I have added "shipbox" that is the number of
boxes for that item; 1 for one box, 2 for two boxes, etc.

I want to calculate the shipping costs for each box for each line item in
the shopping cart and show the total shipping cost in check_out.html.  I
want use the online query, not a table.  I also need to make sure that the
correct shipping costs are sent to my credit card service, authorize.net. 
I have everything working, except the shipping.  When I get the shipping
working, I can go online.

I know I need to added an UserTag to the catalog.cfg file.  I also need to
call that tag in the appropriate locations.

Can someone help me write this UserTag to calculate this correctly.

Thanks Grant,

It fixed my problem, no more "Orderline 00000150-1 ship status update

Michael,

What that means is that you haven't supplied a zip code yet for it to
calculate.  Put a zip code in the proper field, then hit the recalculate
button.

Yes, I've figured this out after playing with it, thank you.
Just out of curiousity, why aren't the shipping options placed
on a separate page, after the ship-to info is entered? I 
realize that that I can do this on my own page, but by default,
I believe that it should be a separate page as well. 

Also, I see that I can only select UPS Next day and 2nd Day, 
however I see under admin that other choices are enabled, is this
broken, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again,

-mike

Guys,

Just got a new client today for a web store and naturally wanted to use
interchange.  But for some unGodly reason the owner wants whatever
solution I provide to be done in PHP.

Is there anything out there written in PHP that even comes close to the
functionality, security and maturity of IC?

add an option in mailing list  in account record.

setup your userdb in mysql which can be queried later by a script run with
cron job.

setup your products and order db in mysql, write a script which can be
called by cron job.

> 4. how to process the links in the reminder email?

write a script that will update your db records and bring up an order page
when needed. Your customer will then make final decision on what and how
many to order.

It's a complete automation solution, interacting with interchange.

I am running IC 4.9 on SME server.
Since, I do the admin through my windows 2000 PC. , I often end up
downloading and uploading files between the two.

The problem lies when you end up editing files on the PC and uploading
it to the IC..

I had a case of catalog.cfg being modified in the PC, and uploaded to
IC., and I got all kinds of strange results.. I ran dos2unix on the file
and uploaded it again and all the problems went away..!!!

What is the best editor to use in the PC when you are working in IC?

Hi,

I see the functionality in the latest demo to craft content for an
existing mailing list, but how does one create/delete/update the mailing
lists themselves?

I tried to find info on this by searching help and the mailing lists but
failed.

Thanks,

Can you elaborate? Do you mean create a field called mailing_list or
something? What if users can sign up for multiple mailing lists? Would I
have to create a column each time?

I'm wondering how to actually record the sign-up, i.e. what code is
needed. Then, once stored, to send a confirmation email message and also
display something on the screen.

I need a little more depth!

Fair enough. I see in the latest version, one can download a script to
do this.

Sure. It'll be nice when it's done. As a newbie, I'm still feeling my

    If you are talking about the default Foundation implementation of
Intechange there are PHP packages which come close to that functionality and
security.  They do not come close in flexibility or scalability, however.
Remember that Interchange is a platform for dynamically-driven web sites and
Foundation is its reference ecommerce implementation.  At the bare minimum,
IC is a preforked perl interpreter with some handy session stuff, at the
most its a serious platform on which you can build solutions similar to what
you could build with six-and-seven-digit solutions like ATG commerce or
Broadvision One-To-One.  You can't really compare IC to a php cart, only the
Foundation implementation can be used for that comparison.

I don't know about the *best* editor to use, but I've been pretty happy
with GWD Text editor (www.gwdsoft.com).

I use GWD Text Editor and it has an option to save in Unix format every time
you save a file.  I know a few other Windows editor programs also have this
option.  Also, I started a thread about code editors in general a while
back.  There's a lot of good info in there.  It was called "How do you write
your code?"

Subject: [ic] PC Text Editor and IC

I am running IC 4.9 on SME server.
Since, I do the admin through my windows 2000 PC. , I often end up
downloading and uploading files between the two.

The problem lies when you end up editing files on the PC and uploading
it to the IC..

I had a case of catalog.cfg being modified in the PC, and uploaded to
IC., and I got all kinds of strange results.. I ran dos2unix on the file
and uploaded it again and all the problems went away..!!!

What is the best editor to use in the PC when you are working in IC?

Jeff,

Agreed.  I should have been more clear.  Yes, Foundation is what they are
after.

Thanks for your input.

Actually the entire ups online calculation stuff should be redone.  THe
current implementation violates the ups license for one thing, and secondly
it has been replaced long ago by a new set of ups online tools that can
provide the same functionality as the Business::UPS module.  The new ups
online tools also provide a lot of other features as well such as address
verification, tracking, and being able to actually send ship orders to ups.

I will be writing a usertag for the new ups tools sometime in the next
couple of weeks.  I don't feel comfortable using the outdated code anymore
when we have several hundred clients using it.  Unless the ups license
forbids using an open source license for the code, I will post it once it's
done.

Chris

I am starting to use that one too and like it quite well.  I was just 
about to look into the setup of the config files so that the

might show IC tags a little better.  Have you or do you know 
anyone that has done such for Crimson?

You weren't thinking of using Interchange to arbitrarily send email
to people who didn't specifically request it, I presume. 8-) I wouldn't
like it to be used in that way.

WRT what is there, people automatically add themselves to them as they
check out, providing you have the mail list functionality enabled on the
checkout page. You can do that by setting the variable
CHECKOUT_MAIL_LIST in catalog.cfg or variable.txt.

The actual checkout page code is now in include/checkout/mailing_status
in the foundation demo. I can't remember if the mail list adder is
enabled by default. Since you ask the question, I presume it is not...
nope. I just added it to the "Mailings" preference area.

My thoughts exactly, but I didn't write the demo....maybe when I get
something worthy of 'demo' status I'll add it to the additional demo's
page.

Using the UI, you need to actually edit the shipping item you want
displayed and select a country or countries for it to be associated
with.

In the UI select Items->Item Editor->Shipping then select the type of
shipping that you'd like added to the drop down and click the "Edit
method" button.  Once in edit mode, select a country or countries from
the list, then click the finish button and Apply Changes.

Then refresh your checkout page and you should see the additional entry.

HTH,

Kevin

    I believe that the UPS license is indeed why we see no further

Gregg,

Any idea exactly what you searched for in the archives to get those
results.  I'm trying to do exactly what you found in the archives.  

All my products are .5lb and UPS requires a minimum of 2lbs for any
shippment.  I need to specify that if the total weight of an order is
under 2lbs to charge a minimum of $6.16, other than that, take the total
weight of the order and query the UPS database.  Here's my shipping.asc
snip

GNDRES  UPS Ground Residential  weight  0       0       e Nothing to
ship!
        {'origin' => "29708",'ui_ship_type' => "UPSE:GNDRES",'ups' =>
"1",'at_le
ast' => "6.16",'round' => "1",'PriceDivide' => "1",}
GNDRES  UPS Ground Residential  weight  0       150     f [ups-query
mode=GNDRES
 weight="@@TOTAL@@" origin="29708"]

Any help you can offer is appreciated...

Thanks,
Kevin

Only at checkout is possible? What if I want users to be able to sign up

I'm still not clear on how to create the mailing lists via the admin
pages. Does it have to be done by editing files directly?

Subject: [ic] who is supposed to run bin/makecat?
Message-ID: <IFMLBDEODLGAOAAA@mailcity.com>

I installed Interchange from interchange-4.8.6.tar.gz
via configure with no args as the root user.

However, then I wanted to run "bin/makecat". But some aspects of this program seem more oriented towards a normal user and others oriented towards root.

For example, BaseDir defaults to ~/catalogs, which of course would mean that some data entry/marketing expert might type bin/makecat and be own his way. 

However, doing this, leads to problems that can only be solved by running as root:

ImageUrl? /terrences_catalog/images
Unable to write temp config file /usr/local/interchange/etc/makecat.cfg.new: Permission denied at bin/makecat line 1176

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
./configure: line 413: ./config.log: No such file or directory
Couldn't run configure; probably no C compiler.
        Couldn't find the executable file 'vlink'.

        Please give the complete path to the link program.

running IC 4.9.6 on shared hosting with cPanel

When ever I try to login or use the store it comes up
http://http://..... this is driving me crazy as it now means the store

I can't edit the file variable.gdbm (which I think is where the problem

Hello all,

I am trying to get some basics down with the ITL and am having little

Here's an example - printing a variable....

This code is in checkout.html
 [if-item-field weight]
 [seti weight][summary amount=`[item-quantity] * [item-field
weight]`][/seti]
 [/if-item-field]

Now, how do I get the *total* weight printed?  I know how to print each
item's weight, I just write:

[item-field weight]

I've tried all sorts of things to get the weight variable in the "seti"
tag to be printed.  And yes, I do have the weight field with a valid
value for all of the products in my database and I can get each of them
to be printed with the product info, but I need a total of all products
weight.

I seriously have looked at all the documentation and am at a loss on
several basic things like this....

Can anyone provide syntax for a few basic features like printing
variables (or whatever the interchange term is for something that holds
a value), and other useful pieces that would make the ITL a little
easier to get into?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi All,

I am trying to run makecat and am getting 
Can't read config file /usr/local/ic/etc/makecat.cfg: No such file or directory
even though that file is clearly there and readable.
Is this a known error? I am using an old version of IC in early 4.x series.
This used to work, and I'm sure I haven't done anything to break it.

It seems tht the IniConf object is coming back as null when it is created.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

Tim

The following is copied from the ic doc:

User Reconfiguration
Documentation index | Contents | Previous Topic | Next Topic
User Reconfiguration
The individual catalogs can be reconfigured by the user by running the
[reconfig] support tag. This should be protected by one of the several forms
of Interchange authentication, preferably by HTTP basic authorization. See
RemoteUser.

The command line can be reconfigured (as the Interchange user) with:

   VENDROOT/bin/interchange -reconfig <catalog>
It is easy for the administrator to manually reconfigure a catalog.
Interchange simply looks for a file etc/reconfig (based in the Interchange
software directory) at HouseKeeping time. If it finds a script name that
matches one of the catalogs, it will reconfigure that catalog.

*** icadvanced, User Reconfiguration

at url http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=icadvanced04%2e03

If you can't execute the command, ask your hosting company assistant.

Possibly you can't reconfigue youself.

It looks to me that you are just setting up the cart, with little done yet.
The easiest way might be to re-install the interchange.

1) remove the whole directory of the shopping cart.
2) remove the link cgi in the cgi-bin directory.
3) login to cpanel
4) click on install interhange.

That will give you a fresh interhange.

The [set],[seti] and [tmp] tags modify variables in the Scratch namespace.

Yes. The user can edit their preferences using the customer services section

Mailing list preferences are stored with the other user's details in the
userdb table, but you don't need to edit this directly. Just go to the
Customers section of the UI, select a customer, and then click preferences.
Its on the email preferences page.

Try mojomail

Dumping the email addresses into it is very easy and sending html/text email

The Interchange Tags Reference section 4.86 (value) describes the
[value] tag's "enable_html" parameter as follows:

  Any '<' characters will normally be converted into '&lt;' for
  safety reasons.  This conversion can be disabled using 'enable_html=1'.

Did that not work for you?

where exactly is this doc? 

Documentation -> ictags -> value 

does not mention this. I checked originally when I tried to solve the
problem. I am using the docs on www.icdevgroup.org. Is there a more
up-to-date source of info?

a search of icdevgroup.com for "enable_html" also drew a blank.

thanks anyway for the tip, i'll give it a shot.

just out of interested, the characters weren't converted to &lt;, but
removed altogether.

Message-ID: <004b01c2b7e5$3f0c7510$0300000a@mobile2>

Hi all,

  I'm using Interchange as a catalog/cart for software sales  and a little
bit for hardware sales.  I'm thinking about adding sales of web hosting
space.  Has anyone done this?

  It would seem I need some changes to the Check-Out portion of interchange
to allow the buyer to check the availability of a domain name, then a field
that would pick up that choice, and continue through the check-out. Also, it
would need to forward that domain name choice to me, so I can set up the
hosting appropriately.

  If anyone can help with this, I'd really appreciate it.  I understand
tables and fields a little, but I don't have much experience modifying
Interchange.

Thanks,
Mark

What if I don't want users to have to create an account in order to sign
up for a promotional newsletter? Many sites do that now (see oreck.com
for example). Signing up for a newsletter is a one step process: enter
e-mail address, select format (optional) and click on "Sign Up". Or, is
this an example of an account where the e-mail address is the login id,
and no password is needed?

That aside, I'm still not clear on how the mailing lists got created and
recognized by Interchange in the first place. The demo has four listed:
Special Offers, Newsletter, Alerts and Recalls, Upgrades. Here are my
questions:

1. How did those mailing lists get created? For my own site, do I have
to do that myself, outside of Interchange?
2. If the mailing lists are part of another program, how does
Interchange know about them? Where is the part in Interchange where I
can add/delete mailing lists? I'm not talking about signing up customers
here.
3. If the mailing lists are part of another program, how does
Interchange send an e-mail to the list, and restrict others from doing
so?

Thanks for your patience,
Gerry

It looks to me that you are just setting up the cart, with little done
yet. The easiest way might be to re-install the interchange.

1) remove the whole directory of the shopping cart.
2) remove the link cgi in the cgi-bin directory.
3) login to cpanel
4) click on install interhange.

That will give you a fresh interhange.

Unfortunately there is quite a bit in the store at the moment (over 400
items and a lot of custom configurations) I'm hoping that my hosting
company will be able to do the reconfiguration manually. Otherwise I may
have to do as you suggest and move all the configuration files manually
to get back to square one.

In the products directory of the catalog home, edit the variable.txt
file. Then remove the variable.sql or variable.gdbm file. When
Interchange is restarted, it will rebuild the database faile for
variable from the .txt file.=20

Racke,

Tried that, doesn't work.  Yes, I do have several items with weight in

That's odd.  I'll have a look into that.  Can you demonstrate the
problem with a small amount of code?  If so, can you post it here.
Also, which version of Interchange are you using?

Can you provide the code you changed and what you changed it too?  Hard
to tell what the problem is without seeing the code.

Hi all,

I am wanting to make sure I am not missing anything
here on the logout.  When cookie login is enabled,
which I need, then I cannot figure out how to really
log out so that IC will require a login again.  Is this 
possible? 

 I tried using the info from the default foundation 
'logout' page and also tried a logout  button made 
from an mv_todo=cancel, but neither is giving the
desired results.

This is the case even when closing the browser
and opening another one as well.

Thanks

IC V 4.8.6

the "enable_html" kind of worked, but only behaved correctly when used with
[cgi]. I'll try to post a test case when i get time.

What worked best for me (so far) is doing most things in Perl, and only
using ITL occasionally. Bit by bit I've picked up on some tags that I
*really* needed.

the trick is to add another

Message-ID: <Pine.WNT.4.51.0301091103320.-747937@hofbbs.hoflink.com>

I have found that for all my searches, if the user leaves the input field
empty and just hits the "search" button they will get a return of all
records in the database.

I know how to limit the number per page, but how can you limit the total
number per search or more importantly how can you avoid wildcard or
ALL records from displaying?

I tried to put the mv_min_string to see if it would require the user
to put at least X characters like this:

  <input type="hidden" name="mv_min_string" value="2">

in the <form></form> but it doesnt seem to do anything.

Am I missing something easy to do?. I really dont want people to do
a full list of a database with one key press.

thanks.

As someone suggested emacs, I guess I should suggest vi which is
available for windows too ,)

But seriously, the windows text editor I've liked most so far is
UltraEdit. The important features to you are that it detects the
difference between unix and windows, so it won't mess up the file. You
might like its feature to open from and save to FTP; the next best thing
to editing files directly on the machine itself. 

Then it has customizable syntax highlighting, macros, word completion
and a lot more. It's a very mature product.

In case that you need to keep you current work, do a full backup and then
copy back all files after re-install interchange from c-panel. It won't take
you much time though, using the following procedure and command:

Make a backup directory at the same level as the cart directory. Then, above
the cart directory,

cp -r cart_directory/*   backup_directory

The above command will copy all files with subdirectories to the
backup_directory.
cd to the backup_directory and check to make sure that all files are copied
properly with the subdirectories. You may see many session files can't be
copied. That's ok

In the backup_directory, delet variable.gdbm, just keep the variable.txt

IMPORTANT:   backup your image files!

cp -r image_directory/*   image_backup_dir

Again, check to make sure all image files are backuped.

Now, you are save to do a re-installation in the procedure outlined in
previous reply.
After the re-installation from cpanel, copy back all files, using the same
command, but with reverse file orders in command line.

You are done. Total is about 5 to 10 minuts

 On Behalf Of James P. Kinney III

In the products directory of the catalog home, edit the variable.txt
file. Then remove the variable.sql or variable.gdbm file. When
Interchange is restarted, it will rebuild the database faile for
variable from the .txt file.

This is what I've done on this so far, deleted the variable.gdbm, edited
the variable.txt file so that the SERVER_NAME variable is acforsale.com,
asked my hosting company to do a manual reconfiguration as per docs at
url http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=icadvanced04%2e03
(I'm still waiting on this or some response from them)

I can get to the IC login screen but as soon as I enter the password etc
I get the "cannot find page error" and I'm being redirected to
http://http://shop.acforsale.com/~acforsal/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/process.html
? (using an editor I can even get to the Administration menu page by
changing the url to go to from the login screen but then all links still
have double http:// on them).

If I try to access the store with http://shop.acforsale.com I can get
into the starting page (index) of the shop but all links on that page
revert back to the http://http://shop.acforsale.com... thing as well. 

Does anyone know if the server_name variable appears or is copied to
some other area that I may be able to modify.

Thanks in advance

Gerry

To prevent further automatic cookie-logins, you'll need to clear down
the user's MV_USERNAME and MV_PASSWORD cookies:

    [set-cookie name="MV_USERNAME" value=""]
    [set-cookie name="MV_PASSWORD" value=""]

See the [set-cookie] docs for more cookie-related information.

When you installed interchange as root, the configure script should have 
asked for / created the interch user to own the interchange server process. 
Then when you run makecat as root, it should have given you a choice of 
operation modes for the catalog (M, G and something else I don't recall 
right now) and in the course of events asked for the user ID for catalog 
ownership, etc. You need only read the help in the prompts and answer 
accordingly.

I believe this is demonstrated in the cart code, which is located at 
yourcat/templates/components/cart. The [summary ..] tag has a parameter for 
returning the accumulated value, which you should be able to see in 
practice there.

Kevin - examples of this are all over the foundation demo, plus you have 
the Interchange tag reference at your disposal: take a look at the docs for 
[value ..], [var ..], [scratch ..], [cgi ...] and [data ...], among others.

Well, I've tried that too....

[perl]print $weight;[/perl]

also tried:

[perl]return $weight;[/perl]

and even tried

[perl]print $Scratch->{weight};[/perl]

This is what I get from error.log:

You just need to clear the client's cookies. Try putting this your logout.html:

[set-cookie name=MV_USERNAME value=""]
[set-cookie name=MV_PASSWORD value=""]

I haven't really looked into those lists myself, but I'm assuming that
they are just in the foundation demo as a "suggested use" and don't
actually have any backend programming or actual lists set up. If anyone
knows this to be otherwise, please correct me.

We use majordomo for our mailing lists, and don't use IC to manage the
existence of any lists. Each of the catalogs we run currently has only
one list, and on the checkout page I have a "Would you like to receive
our free newsletter?" area with a "Yes/No" select list.

At the top of the etc/mail_receipt file for that catalog (I have e-mail
address required and don't give customers an option not to receive an
e-mail receipt, so this file will always be processed), I've added
lines like this:

    [if value mail_list == 1]
    [email to="listname-request@domain.com"]
    subscribe [value email]
    [/email]
    [/if]

This sends an e-mail to majordomo requesting a subscription to the
list. If you have e-mail receipt as an option for the customer, you
might want to put the above code into the etc/report file instead of
mail_receipt.

That's my two cents. Hope it helps. :)

-Tom

Ed, yes it is in the cart component, but the same code is also in the
checkout.html file in pages/ord and I have reviewed the documentation
and the parameter that suppresses the output is "hide" when set to true
(or 1).  In the code above the hide paramenter is not present and by
default is set to false.  This code should be printing the weight,
correct?

Thanks, there are just so many tags that have similar features....kind

Plus, I think you can do this:

	[userdb function=logout clear-cookie=1]

Also, if you want that to be the default you can put in catalog.cfg:

	UserDB default clear_cookie 1

I'm using flat rate shipping as the default and only shipping method with

shipping rate? When a person checks out the page comes up "Nothing to ship"
unless the cart is recalculated.

Hello,

  I�ve been running Interchange catalogs for a couple of years now.  Within

I'm pretty sure the default mode in 4.8.5+ is for the checkout page to
suppress zero values in the shipping options.

Here is a cut of code from my checkout page that you might want to try:

[comment]
    <SELECT NAME=mv_shipmode onChange="this.form.submit()">
       [loop option=mv_shipmode
       list=|[data table=country key='[default country US]' col=shipmodes]|
  ]
<OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]"> [shipping-desc [loop-code]]: [shipping
[loop-code]]
      [/loop]
    </SELECT>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Will Update Display)<br>
[/comment]
<SELECT NAME=mv_shipmode onChange="this.form.submit()">
  	      [shipping
	        label=1
        	mode=|[data table=country key='[default country US]'
col=shipmodes]|
              ]
	      </SELECT>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Will Update Display)<br>

****
Uncomment the commented section, and comment out the normal select.
The part commented out will allow the results to return zero amounts for
testing purposes if upsgnd is returning zero you will know this is a problem
of data from the UPS site. I highly recommend moving to tables, for
reliability and for speed if nothing else.

Err...any information in /var/log/messages(or equivalent)? How is your
memory use? (top and then 'M') Did you change anything that made this
start happening, or did it always?

Qmail ships with a program called supervise that you can use to keep it
running. This is obviously a very shoddy solution, but it is better than
nothing.

Good Luck

Nothing current. This has been asked before, and someone mentioned a
practically obsolete guide, you might find it if you search the archives
(assuming you are that desperate).

Nevermind, I set  $Values->{mv_shipmode}=$Variable->{SHIP_DEFAULT_MODE}

Ok after some further research here is the deal on UPS.

The current perl module being used for ups calculations does violate the ups
license.  In addition to simply not being supported as a way to connect to
ups.  Even the author of Business::UPS states that the module should no
longer be used.

The new xml interface can be used without violating any licenses.  You have
to display the ups logo, display a notice if the shipping price displayed is
different from that returned by ups, and the merchant has to sign up for an
access key which is then sent with each request.  I have a perl module for
the new xml interface completed.  It's basically a replacement for the
Business::UPS module.  The shipping.asc file needs a couple of changes, the
usertag needs to be redone, and a couple of new global variables need to be
added to make it all work.

By the time I get done testing everything and cleaning up the code, it will
probably be a couple of days before I post it to the list.

Subject: [ic] Secure server FAQs [monthly posting]
Message-ID: <20030109211800.A13680@bill.heins.net>

These are the FAQs:

  Shopping cart is dropped when using SSL.

    This is a thorny question. It has many possible causes, and most often
    occurs when you try to use a different secure server domain than the
    regular catalog runs on. (See the next question for more info on that.)

    If your secure domain is the same as the non-secure domain, it is
    usually due to the user not having cookies enabled. It can be due to the
    HostnameLookups (Stronghold/Apache parameter) not matching for the two
    servers, secure and non-secure. It can also be caused by the user having
    different web proxy addresses for HTTP and HTTPS. If it still does not
    work, try changing some of the appropriate configuration parameters in
    interchange.cfg:

       DomainTail   No
       IpHead       Yes

    If you still are having problems, try this combination in catalog.cfg,
    the catalog configuration file:

       SessionExpire  10 minutes
       WideOpen       Yes

    The above setting will typically make Interchange work when it is
    possible to work. Sometimes when you have multiple Interchange servers
    sharing the same secure server, you will have problems after accessing
    the second one. (The first one issues a session ID cookie, and that
    causes problems).

  I have a different secure server domain. Why does the shopping cart
  get dropped?

    First of all, it is questionable business practice to not certify your
    secure server. Besides violating the terms of use of many certificate
    issuers, customers notice the changed domain and it is proven by user
    surveys and long experience that you will receive fewer orders as a
    result. Certs can be obtained for $125 US per year, less than the
    typical cost of one hour of a top consultant's time. Do your business
    a favor -- spend the money to get a cert.

    If you insist on doing it anyway, probably driven by the fact that
    you need a dedicated IP address for a secure server, you can use the
    solutions in the previous FAQ question and get some relief.

    But by far the best way is to have all orders and shopping cart calls go
    only to the secure domain.  Your users may get a different session when
    browsing the non-secure catalog pages, but it will matter little.

    To do this on the Foundation demo, place in catalog.cfg:

            AlwaysSecure  order ord/basket ord/checkout

    A more complete list might be:

        AlwaysSecure <<EOF
             account
             change_password
             customerservice
             login
             logout
             new_account
             ord/basket
             ord/checkout
             order
             process
             query/check_orders
             query/order_detail
             query/order_return
             returns
             saved_carts
             ship_addresses
        EOF

    (Thanks to John Beima for the above list.)
    Add pages of your own that need to be sure of coherent 
    session information.

    For all *forms* to be secure, make sure "process" is on that list. (Your search
    forms will still be non-secure if you use "[process-search]" to produce
    the form ACTION.)

    To make individual order links secure, use this instead of "[order]":

            <A HREF="[area
                        href=order
                        secure=1
                        form='mv_order_item=SKU_OF_ITEM'
            ]">Order it</A>

    To make a form-based order button secure, use "[process secure=1]" as
    the ACTION.

  My images aren't there on the secure server!!!

    You have a different document root, or the permissions are not such
    that you can access them. You can set a different base URL for images
    with:

    ImageDirSecure   https://your.secure.server/somewhere/images

    Don't try to set it to an http:// URL -- images will be broken anyway.

  My secure pages fail when my browser is MSIE.

    MSIE has several SSL bugs, particularly in V5.01.  See the C<Apache-SSL>
    or C<mod_ssl> FAQ. You can sometimes fix this with an httpd.conf change:

       SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

Hiya.

The flyout menu component that comes with the foundation store produces a
great flyout menu, but a vertical one, with the top level items under each
other.

Has anyone found a way to create one where the top level items are by the
side of each other?
(kind of like the icdevgroup.org menus)

Hi
could someone please advise me.

I have never used IC before and am actually more use to JSP/Java as opposed
to Perl. However I found IC and was impressed with the demo. I decided that
it looked supported enough and well established that it should not take long
to employ.

That has not been the case.

All I have done is to utilise the foundation demo making a new theme. Yet it
seems to me that everywhere I turn I come across a problem.

Is this due to it being setup through CPanel? I contacted my ISP about your
warning note but so far have had no response on that. Am I flogging a dead
duck trying to get this up and running with this kind of setup?

I have command line access, but the Interchange is shared, thus no
interchange.cfg access and the like.

Is there a way to "reset" IC and would this be a god idea?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the overview. That does help. Just a few more questions, if
you don't mind:

1. Do you have the mailing list set up so that users don't have to
confirm their addition to the list? If so, how is that done? 

2. Normally a password is involved to change user mailing list settings,
say if someone decides to remove themselves from the list. How do you
automate the removal of users from the list?

Thanks.

check your order profile and your log_transaction file.

What did your custom gateway connect to?  Would it be of use to others?

If you receive no response at this point then you should take that as
a warning about what may happen when you urgently need support in the
future.

If your host supplies Interchange with CPanel then their full support
WILL be required.  In fact, any host that advertises and supplies
Interchange MUST have a proper working knowledge of the application and
provide full administrative support.

im currently running a site with a frameset (ugh).

things are usually OK, but say 1 in 5 times when the whole frameset is

is there any to force the frames to load serially, or force the lock attemt

Message-ID: <C59E8B2F5312D5118FAF0002557C23149C2F37@SITSERV>

I'm trying to use Autoload.  I cannot get it to work, even using the basic
code below.  I've restarted Interchange and checked the logs, Interchange
restarts fine.

Here's my code:
 In /interchange/catalog.cfg:

  Autoload <<EOS
  [perl]
  $Scratch->{mook} = "Test"; 
  return;
  [/perl]
  EOS

Then, on the index page I try to display the value using [scratch mook],
nothing appears. I've restarted Interchange and checked the logs,
Interchange restarts fine.  I have noticed that when I move the Autoload
code up towards the beginning of catalog.cfg then I get an error when
restarting Interchange.

What am I missing? 

Thanks

I have a Stupid Question: Where is the order profile? I know where the
payment routes are but not sure on the profile.

My gateway connected to NOVA and since I am a certified gateway for NOVA
this was and is perfect for my clients that use this system.  It is
similar to authorizenet's interface. I am switching one client off and
since their box is dedicated, no problem, but this error.

I can provide it (called vericommerce) if any one is interested. although
the configuration goes through my servers for authorization.

One (possibly daft) suggestion..

check the 'EOS' to make sure there is no white space after it.

When you move the code up the catalog.cfg, and it fails, what is in the
error log?

Jedit http://www.jedit.org

Dan's written an IC tag highlighting plugin here.  Though it was 
originally created for 4.6.x it should work for later versions pretty well.

http://www.icdevgroup.org/~danb/interchange.xml

I especially like Jedits ability to do FTP editing.  You can FTP and 
edit a file just like it was on your local machine!.

Order profiles are in yourcat/etc/profiles.order.BTW, did you check the 
value MV_PAYMENT_MODE in the variable table? In the foundation demo, this 
is typically used to specify the gateway for payment processing.

If you added this with a windows-based text editor and then ftp'd it up to 
your site, carriage-return contamination would be highly suspect. I've 
posted the perl one-liner for stripping CR's out of a dirty file many 
times; here it is again:

         perl -i -p -e 's/\r//g' filename

Kevin
thanks for your reply.

I wondered what people think to maintaing IC on a dedicated server? I have
another project that requires a dedicated server. What with maintaining the
general Linux/Java environment is administering IC a tall order?

Anyone have any feedback on administering your own server with IC? Come to
that is anyone looking for IC on their own dedicated server and want to
share the responsibility/costs with me?

Ian

If your host supplies Interchange with CPanel then their full support
WILL be required.  In fact, any host that advertises and supplies
Interchange MUST have a proper working knowledge of the application and

Ian, please use contextual quoting here, where you would reply *below* the
post you are replying to. It just makes things easier to read ;)

I have a dedicated server, and I went in knowing nothing, thankfully my
primary consultant really hooked me up with a nice clean setup. Howeveer it
is a big responsibility (esp when things go wrong from making bonehead
moves).

You may want to subscribe to the ic-biz mailist to find some hosts fo for
IC. Said that, There are people here that will give you very complete shared
hosting. Like www.newmediaems.com, they offer dedicated as well as shared. I
think you would be better off (for now) on a shared server, with a competent
host. No need to spend money that is not neccessary, and take on more
responsibility than you need to.

Also, given the fact that you will need to have an above average interaction
level with your host WRT using Cpanel, it makes sense just to avoid Cpanel
in the first place and opt for something else that gives the control back to
you (where it belongs). I use Plesk.

Nope -- doesn't qualify as a source, has a non-word character.

> Should the slash be stripped off the end by IC?

Nope, once the question mark is there all remaining characters are part
of the query string and have nothing to do with anything else.

I don't know how "www.site.com" would get that parameter anyway, unless
all requests were being handled by IC and somehow mod_interchange was forwarding
such requests.

    Just as a note, mod_rewrite expands the url out to
www.site.com/site/page?params .

for Business::UPS.  It also includes a modified ups-query tag and
shipping.asc.  I have done some testing on it, but it was thrown together
fairly quickly.

Read the README file to see a quick installation guide.  You will also need
one of the perl SSL modules installed and XML::Simple.  If you use one of
the payment gateway modules that uses ssl, you should be ok for ssl.
XML::Simple I think you will have to grab from cpan.  There might be more
dependancies also, I can't remember since I am using freebsd and installed
using a port.

One thing it does do is move some functionality out of the perl module and
into Interchange itself.  So you can now configure your pickup type, set the
packaging type in shipping.asc if you wish, etc..

And don't use this if you aren't familiar with Interchange.  If it breaks
something, it's on your head.  It works for me, but your setup might be
different.

There's your answer -- do a bit more rewriting and remove the last /.

    Oh, I could definitely fix it, I just didn't like the comment from
Overture that the slash they were appending to the end of the url was "not
something over which Overture exercises any control" and was "an internet
standard which occurs within most browsers".  I enter "w.x.y?n=v" and their
system changes it to "w.x.y/?n=v/" .  I say the problem is not in my
system's inability to accept that but rather in their inability to not
mangle the url I input into their system.  They managed to get the middle
slash removed but the last one seems to be a real stumper for them.  I just
wanted to make sure there wasn't some actual internet standard that I wasn't
aware of dictating that slashes appended to url parameters by companies
named overture were to be stripped off by the receiving server.  That
standard doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks again,
Jeff

In IC 4.8.6, what is the function of the line

[set page_title][set] 

in a template file such as ../catalogs/foundation/templates/leftonly ?

EditPage generates the same page even if it is removed. Is it a default?

I am trying to use the order profile to enforce a form policy.  The kicker 
is that I am not using a cart on the site, so the error page reports that 
I have no items in my shopping cart when I submit the form.  I notice that 
this particular warning is hard coded to appear if !scalar 
@{$Vend::Items}.  How can I trick intervend so this warning will not 
appear?

Can you use mv_form_profile instead of mv_order_profile?

Or failing that, just set:

Subject: [ic] Paysystems Payment Gateway
Message-ID: <00f301c2ba1d$423458e0$0100a8c0@spankmaster>

I'm currently setting up automated cc billing through Paysytems.com's
merchant gateway, and from what i've found on the mailing lists etc, noone
has bothered having a crack at this before. It all looks fairly simple to
me, it's just your usual POST with hidden fields you pass to the site that
direct you to the appropriate pages on success, failure, etc. It also
returns some data to you.

My question is: is there any documentation out there on exactly how the
whole checkout process works, and how the payment modules are installed and
how they change the checkout procedure? I understand that on my checkout
page, instead of the usual interchangey stuff, i'll direct it off to the
payment gateway, but what would i set as a value for the "success" page? how
would i ensure the order was added to the db?

Basically, i'm fumbling in the dark on this a little, i was hoping to simply
pull a hack job on someone else's module (hence assuring the order goes in
the db, etc), but none of the ones i've seen modules for seem to act all
that close to paysystem.com's methodolgy, insofar as they don't seem to use
a "success" or "failure" URL. I can provide documentation on their service,
should anyone be interested enough to flick through it...

yeah, i did this.

it was all fairly simple. just use the standard affiliates stuff, and when
an order is placed, it'll get tagged with the appropriate affiliate's code.
Then, in pages/affiliates/index.html stick this lump of code:

<TR>
        <TH ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=top>
        Your sales statistics
        </TH>
        <TD>
[perl tables="products orderline"]
my $affiliate = $Session->{values}{mv_username};
my @OUT, %totals;
my $results = $Tag->query({sql => 'select * from orderline'});
for (@{$results}) {
        if ($_->[19] =~ /$affiliate/) {
                $a = substr ($_->[15], 0, 6);
                $totals{$a} += $_->[9];
        }
}
my $month;

foreach $month ( keys %totals ) {
    undef $string;
    my $string .= "Total for $month ";
    my $sold = $totals{$month};
        $string .= '$' . "$sold";
        my $com = $sold * .05;
   $string .= " Commission earnt " . '$' . "$com<br>";
   push @OUT,$string;
}

return join '',@OUT;
[/perl]
        </TD>
</TR>

It's a long way from perfect, but it'll show you what you need to know.

Hello,

I am looking for an alternate shopping cart solutions
and this product looks promising. My questions are:

1) I have my pages in static html right now and have
an "Add to Cart" button that passes the product
information and product parameters to my remotely
hosted shopping cart. I am paranoid to change my
static html pages because I have achieved good
rankings in Google for these words.

Can I do a similar action in Interchange. I would like
to keep the static html pages and add the appropriate
form code in the html to add the product into the
cart. I don't mind recreating the product in the
database if this is possible. Any help would be
appreciated.

Also, if this is possible, would there be a way to
allow a return link to the product in the cart.

Looks like a great product and would love to use it.

Thanks!

KS

Thanks for the help. This adds the item to the cart,
but in the cart, under Description, the link back to
the product goes to the interchange product page. My
product pages currently are structured as 

mysite.com/bluewidget.html

whereas the interchange goes back to
mysite.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/os28086.html

if i can get the link back to change to my actual
product page or create some kind of redirect in the
interchange generated page to my static html page,
that would be great.

David, I also looked into your hosting service and
would be interested. I sent a note to support but you
can contact me directly.

I also looked at PatSpiderizer, and it seems kinda
dangerous. Google gets pretty picky about the hosts it
searches and a tool like that may be alright, but you
never know with google. I'd rather create a proper
search friendly site from the beginning.

Thanks.

Interchange needs to control the session. That's why the link back page is
under cgi.

I understand how significant a good google position to your business, and 
how much effort, time it takes to get that position. We can help  you out.
I 'll look at  your note, and continue from there.

Message-ID: <00cf01c2babb$4f85e1a0$6301000a@chris>

I just realized that my in-stock notification does not work.

I tested it by going to an item that had "0" inventory.  The flypage show
that there is no inventory and has in the in-stock option.  I give it my
name and email address.
At this point I receive an email that tells me that when the item is in
stock I will get an email to let me know it is in stock.

I then went to the UI and increased the inventory from 0 to 10.

No email was sent to me to tell me that it was now available.

I am running Interchange 4.8.6 with foundation template.

    Probably a bad Subject, but I'm not sure what it is called
so I'm not having any luck searching for it.  But I recall someone
asking for this some time ago.

    How to build a one-click type search path bar that would
look something like the following...

Home -> ProductLevelItems -> CategoryLevelItems .....

Where, in the above example, the  'Home' would be active and
take the user to the front page, 'ProductLevelItems' would also
be active and take the user to the previous ProductLevelItems
search, and CategoryLevelItems would not be a live link since it is the
current page.   Anyone recall doing this and how ??

Using IC 4.9.3 based off of foundation.

Hiya.

I don't know if this message got posted correctly as it shows on my browser
with other people replying to it with the start of another question.
Anyway, I posted again in case.

The flyout menu component that comes with the foundation store produces a
great flyout menu, but a vertical one, with the top level items under each
other.

Has anyone found a way to create one where the top level items are by the
side of each other?
(kind of like the icdevgroup.org menus)

thanks

(from conversation on the phone) I know that the 'please specify the
MailOrderTo directive' happened when the autoload routine was placed at the
top of the catalog.cfg file.

This indicates that the 'VariableDatabase' directive has not been read..
which means that the Autoload routine right at the top has not been
terminated correctly.

Try editing the file directly on the server using vi or your favourite
editor to put your routine in.

The functionality you are referring to is not a standard part of
Foundation (at least in the 4.8x branch)

Here is a link to a post that Russ Mann made about a year ago. I have
not personally tried it, but the code looks like it will do exactly what
you want.

Subject: [ic] embedded perl
Message-ID: <002901c2bb0f$8c398a80$0400a8c0@mercury>

Hi all, I working on a piece of embedded perl for my index.html page.  I
want to display a section of products with there large image and a brief
description.  I've been looking at some of the other "components" that come
with Interchange, in particular the specials and promos components.

Now I need some more information relating to the "objects"  $Tag and
$Scratch.  I can't find where these objects are declared or what they relate
to, and therefore, how to use them.  They appear to be global and from the
limited information on the rtfm site I've found that they are created /
instanciated for each user session (I think :-).  However I need some more
information on how they work (i.e. what methods & properties are available)
and what exactly they do (i.e. how to use them) - how do I do this with perl
?

For example, I'm looking at the piece of embedded perl below and I can't
find references anywhere to : $Tag, $Scratch and $Tmp.

  delete $Scratch->{product_info};
  my $date = $Tag->time( { body => '%Y%m%d' } );
  $ref = $Tmp->{main} or return;
  my $matches = $Tag->control("matches",10);


Any help or pointers would be excellent, thanks in advance,

Try to put in the following code in shipping.asc it should work.

We started with a comodo cert last year and loved it.  Since then we have 
itegrated it with all new interchange sites and all renewals of verisign, 
geotrust, and thwate, we have used comodo for.

With any newer provider there is an issue of browser compatability.  comodo 
certs go back as far as IE v.5 and Netscape v.4.  Here is a link for a 
comparision.  http://gostats.com/gogi/browser_war.pl?mn=gostats&all=t

We are a dealer for comodo, but would happily provide the certificates for 
wholesale (at cost) for anyone using interchange who needs one.  Just contact 
me directly.  Our cost is around $40.00.

There is also a site by geotrust called free ssl http://freessl.com (geotrust 
trying to reclamin marketshare they lost to comodo) and rip off their 
resellers.  I have experimented with that one, compatability is okay.  On the 
test site we did, out of 30 users only 4 couldn't access it at all (mac users 
in the US on aol dial-up).  For us this wasn't good odds, support is not 
available on the free certs, but hey... they are free.

    I have a test certificate that integrated easily with IC.
Side comment: This IC is really an amazing application/tool.
Anyway.  Currently I'm experiencing a problem using the
test certificate and IE6.  I've sent a query to their support
people.

I can't afford to have problems... can you tell us what type of problem 
and if/how it gets resolved?

    The problem I'm seeing is this.. And keep in mind I'm pretty vanilla
Foundation store 4.9.3.  When the user logs in they are presented the
customerservice page (it is secure) and log in component shows they're logged
in.
It seems no matter what you select e.g. Account Maintenance then the
user is presented with the required login screen, in that example, i.e.
logged out.
I do not have any problem with NS 7 or IE5 for sure, and pretty sure
it is fine for NS4.7 and Konqueror but I would need to go back and retest
if anyone needs that.  I'm hoping for a browser configuration issue,
something
I did wrong, but will post when it is resolved.

Bear in mind, this has nothing at all to do with the cert. It is
blameless in whatever problems you are having.

That doesn't sound like a problem with the certificate.. more like some 
sort of configuration issue.

I looking over the server log file for one client:
there are people with versions 

Versions Hits Percent 
MSIE 6.0 6679 58.5% 
MSIE 5.5 2797 24.5% 
MSIE 5.22 133 1.1% 
MSIE 5.2 79 0.6% 
MSIE 5.15 74 0.6% 
MSIE 5.14 31 0.2% 
MSIE 5.13 11 0% 
MSIE 5.12 13 0.1% 
MSIE 5.01 650 5.6% 
MSIE 5.0 812 7.1% 


Netscape 7.0 210 19.6% 
Netscape 6.2.2 19 1.7% 
Netscape 6.2.1 21 1.9% 
Netscape 6.1 22 2% 
Netscape 5.0 186 17.3% 
Netscape 4.8 53 4.9% 
Netscape 4.78 72 6.7% 
Netscape 4.76 43 4% 
Netscape 4.75 153 14.3% 
Netscape 4.73 94 8.7% 
Netscape 4.72 82 7.6% 



So, the majority of customer on this site are above 5.5
Also, again I reitterate, it is a configuration issue or software issue 
(browser/settings) not IC or your cert

Message-ID: <200301131306.25941.geoffs@rdgi.com>

I need to do an across the board markup of items..

So, I made a variable in the variable.txt for MARKUP 1.1
then on the flypage, and baskets etc.  included..

[discount ALL_ITEMS]
return $s*__MARKUP__;
[/discount]

This easily passed the markup to the [item-price] and into the [subtotal]..

Is there a more elegant, better, way to do this?

Morning All,
Still troubleshooting my install.
I get the main foundation page http://64.32.173.228/foundation/
but Customer Entrance and Admin Interface links both return
"We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable...
We are out of service or may be experiencing high system demand. Please try

Are these directories actually supposed to exist in the cgi-bin? or do they
redirect to var/lib/interchange/foundation/pages?
I only have 1 file in cgi-bin, foundation. Is this correct?
What am I doing wrong here?

Is this function going to be rolled into IC?

they do redirect to the /path/to/interchange

You can simply ssh to /path/to/interchange/ 
and ./restart

well i have a biiiiig problem. I inserted some code into log_transaction. we
have to types of items limited and not limited ....for the not limited it
works fine , for the limited it should decrement the inventory table as well
as quantity in another table: menge
If on the order there is only just ONE limited article it works out fine.
If there are 2 or more limited items ist works out for the first one, and
for the rest it inserts bogus data, aparently no logic .....
I know it works, but it is something I cannot get ....

here is the code:

[if variable DECREMENT_INVENTORY]Inventory of [item-code] now:
        [data
                table=inventory
                col=quantity
                key="[item-code]"
                increment=1
                value="-[item-quantity]"

[if-item-field limitiert eq 1]

[query sql="update menge set quantity='[calc][sql-param

I've been doing this since Minivend 3.x.  I'm doing an
upgrade and am looking for feedback as to what is
running well, and not so well with IC.
 
What's playing well with IC these days IC wise?  The
page mentions RH 7.2 (which seems a bit on the old
side).  I'm looking at RH 8.0.  Anyone have any
experience with this?  Anything not work well?  (x86)

What about web server.  Seems like Apache with
Mod_perl is pretty standard these days.  1.x or 2.x?

Try our sample site

and see if you get the same problem. It uses instantSSL. login with

    Thanks David.

    I get the same symptom.  So must be a configuration
problem with my browser on that PC.  That is great to know.

    Anyone have any thoughts on what could be wrong in the browser
configuration ??

I am trying to figure out how to change my menu to display an image rather than pre-entered text.  The current Product Tree is just Text and + signs (very boring).  I made my own buttons but do not know how to replace the menu text with the graphic. Any one had luck playing with this option?  If so PLEASE HELP!!!

Hey everyone,

I need to allow the user to select products by using checkboxes instead

how to do this? If so your comments will be appreciated.

Message-ID: <003201c2bb57$79d0ef80$8002a8c0@takedownlt>

I'm running IC on Redhat 7.3 all errata up to date, Perl 5.6.1, mysql,
dual Xeon P4, 2GB ram.  The IC services is running in RPC mode, I have
tested with both MaxServers set to 0 and no MaxServers setting within
the RPC block in interchange.cfg.  Below are the relevant portions of my
interchange.cfg:

Variable  TRAFFIC  rpc

ifdef TRAFFIC =~ /rpc/i
Message RPC traffic settings.
PreFork             Yes

MaxRequestsPerChild 100
HouseKeeping        2
PIDcheck            120
MaxServers          0
Endif

When the service starts ps shows:

19452 ?        S      0:00 interchange
19462 ?        S      0:00 interchange

I then issue a restart with this command:

interchange -r -u

After the restart I see this in ps:

19464 ?        S      0:00 interchange
19466 ?        S      0:00 interchange

If you count the number of processes it increases by two each time.
This continues in this fashion unless I do a killall and then restart
IC.  You can probably figure out on a development server that IC would
be restarted a lot and this leaves a lot of processes which are not
doing anything.

Any ideas?

However, I want to use an accessories something like this tag like this so
that they can simply be listed.
[accessories code=os28005 table=options type=show]

This does not work though, does anyone know if or how this can be done using

    Try stopping apache first, restarting IC, and then restarting apache.  I
am not positive that this will fix the issue on your system but it does fix
the issue when the same symptoms occur on mine.

I have also run into this on production servers where new catalogs are added
frequently.  This is under both Redhat and Freebsd.  My guess is that it's a
bug in perl because what is happening is that a kill -TERM doesn't work, you
have to use -KILL on the parent and all the children.  Unfortunately I'm not
enough of a perl guru to know how to track it down or fix it.

Hiya.

I don't know if this message got posted correctly as it shows on my browser
with other people replying to it with the start of another question.
Anyway, I posted again in case.

The flyout menu component that comes with the foundation store produces a
great flyout menu, but a vertical one, with the top level items under each
other.

Has anyone found a way to create one where the top level items are by the
side of each other?
(kind of like the icdevgroup.org menus)

thanks
Dion Jones

I used a public domain DHTML menu and integrated it with the vertical
category list.  I posted it on the Demo Live Catalog last year sometime.  It
is a lot of code, so I can attach it to this message, but incase it gets
lost, you can email me for a copy of it.  You can modify it pretty easily
too.

Subject: [ic] In order to overcome a problem we had with the -m option of the
 localize script
Message-ID: <1042506801.3098.193.camel@localhost.localdomain>

In order to overcome a problem we had with the -m option of the localize script, we did the following.

A relevant bug report is available at: http://www.icdevgroup.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=479

Instructions
1. Generate a localization file using the interchange tool by:

  localize -l en_US [-d fr_FR ...] page.html > translation.txt

2. Replace the default translations with your own where required

3. Feed this data into my utility

  ./locale-merge -i page.html -o page.html -t translation.txt

Known Bugs
If you specify a default locale that /does not/ have translations for
all keys, the output file will have blanks (you should not run into this
if you make sure the -l option on the interchange tool corresponds to
the -d option with my tool, or if you omit -d altogether)

Message-ID: <001101c2bb6b$66dc3ec0$0200a8c0@paul>

I had the same issue running IC on OpenBSD 3.2 with Apache ( Chroot off
) and mod_perl from the ports. I still don't know if it is due to IC's
compatibility with OpenBSD or something else.

I deleted all IC related directories including /usr/local/interchange ,
did a ./configure again .... a bin/makecat again .. but this time I
selected "INET" .. and went ahead with the defaults. What do you
know..!! it worked.

So seems to me that "UNIX" mode didn't work for me on OpenBSD 3.2

Also passwords with a "!" in it doesn't really work well with the
bin/makecat script when executing "mysqladmin -u root -p!p@sSweRd create
databasename"



Wish you luck.

they do redirect to the /path/to/interchange

You can simply ssh to /path/to/interchange/ 
and ./restart 
to get your copy of interchange running

    I have a few domains pointed at the same IC site.  I use an apache
rewrite rule on the domains to add a parameter and redirect to the IC
domain.  Inside of my site, I use those passed parameters to both control
the look of the site and to filter products.  This allows my IC site to
completely adopt a different look and offer different types of products
depending on the originating domain.
    I feed these different domains to the search engines.  Each site look is
"search engine optimized" in a manner that corresponds with that product
line.  This allows my single IC installation to get high ranking on a
variety of rather-competitive search engine phrases.
    This has been a paid political announcement from "friends of

We actually do something very similar and have good success with it. IC
can accommodate everything we have needed it to do and a whole lot more!

This has been a follow-up message from "FOI"

I tried to do one like that with the table-organize tag but it came out afu
because the row with the category name has to span several columns, but I
managed to do one something like this:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
    [search-list][item-change 1][condition][item-param category][/condition]
    <tr class="catable">
      <td colspan="5"><b>&nbsp[item-param category]</b></td>
    </tr>
    [/item-change 1]
 [item-calc]if(!$yy){return "<tr class=\"catable\">";}[/item-calc]
      <td valign="top" width="85"><table><tr>
          <td height="105" bgcolor="#9AA3AF" align="center">[if-item-param
thumb]
[if type=file term="__DOCROOT__/images/[item-param thumb]"] <a href="[area
[item-param sku]]"><img src="/images/[item-param thumb]"
border="0"></a>[/if][/if-item-param]
          </td>
        </tr><tr><td>
   <a class="skulink" href="[area [item-param sku]]">[item-param
description]</a></td></tr></table></td>
   [item-calc] $xx++; $yy=$xx % 5; if(!$yy){return "</tr>";}[/item-calc]
    [/search-list]
   [calc] for($xx=0;$xx<$yy;$xx++){$pad.="<td>&nbsp;</td>";}if($yy){return
$pad."</tr>";}[/calc]
  </table>

Your image paths will most likely be different and you won't have a class
named catable and I cut out all the buy now and such. And I think for this
to work you need rf=* in your category search and quick search, something
like this:
fi=products
st=db co=1
sf=category
se=Apples
op=eq
se=1
sf=inactive
op=ne
nu=0
ml=10
tf=title
rf=*

Message-ID: <20030113210630.A14282@bill.heins.net>

Dear All,

This is to advise everyone that the nightly builds will stop temporarily.
There have been major changes to the DEVEL branch CVS prior to the
beta for Interchange 5.0.

The fine folks at Zeald have provided professional-quality HTML for
the Interchange UI, and I have incorporated it in an update that should
greatly improve the UI, and make it more intuitive.

In addition, the UI becomes more easily configurable than ever.

Most custom UI pages should work unchanged, but there may be cases
where they don't; also, most menus should work fine but again there
will be cases where they won't. Because of this, I am suspending 
the nightly build until some semblance of stability returns.

In a few days, Demo space 1 should reflect the new UI and the
nightly builds will return.

Best,
Mike

At one point I saw some talk of a manual for the standard Foundation
store possibly being produced.  As it appears that 5.0 will be not only
a major backend change and but also a major shift in UI.  Has this been
looked into recently?  Also, is there anyone out there willing to
generalize their store to give some more options to the starting base?

Subject: [ic] Newbie - Admin access from outside
Message-ID: <1042513724.3e237f3c85653@webmail.no-ip.com>


I set up the foundation demo store. I can access the demo store from the
Internet, but when i try to get to /cgi-bin/foundation/admin/index.html, it
apparently refuses the connection. 

I can't really find the reason in the doco. I find the section on restricting
access to pages using .access and the userdb, but this doesn't apply since I'm
not even logging in. I also find the WideOpen configuration which "Disables IP
qualification of user sessions"...whatever that is, since there is no doco on
what this is and what are the alternatives. 

I figure it must be a port it is trying to use that I don't permit or it's
something of the above-mentioned.

I would deeply appreciate any pointers on how this works and generally how use
of ports and security works. 

Also, any pointers on where to look for setting up credit card authorization and
payment.

A couple tall orders, but much much appreciation for the help.

Thanks, Joe

There actually is such a manual, icfoundation, though as usual I am sure
it is not nearly what people seem to want. It is all anyone seems to be
moved to work to produce; after the treatment I have received for my docs
efforts I can't seem to get motivated to do more, and neither can anyone
else.

The thing I am really interested in is some better online help. There is
now a built-in online help editor, but I doubt anyone except a couple of
people (one of whom is me) will actually take the time to contribute
back changes if past behavior is any indication.

I would love to be wrong on these assumptions... 8-)

I am afraid I have given my all here. While I have many other enhancements,
the documentation program is a show-stopper and I won't put in any more
features that cannot be supported.

It totally understand.  I'm starting down a path that is going to
probably require a huge commitment in both time and money to make both
Foundation and our future product documented.  If we get done (we're
hoping to be done with it in a year) we'll be using the Open
Documentation License.

However, what I was looking for was not a description of the Foundation
store from a technical perspective but an actual guide for someone just
recieving orders and creating product associations and discounts. 
Things of that nature.  icfoundation (from what I can tell) is not
really that.  It's a pretty good doc, just not something I'd hand over
to our Orders Clerk.

Well... I don't know how you want it submitted.  Let me know, I'll
commit what I can.

I totally agree.  I'd love to have better documentation, to the point
that it's going to make our future work impossible without it.

We are hoping to build a Point of Purchase/Brick and Mortar POS system
to integrate with Interchange.  I realize that seems funny coming from
someone that doesn't know a whole lot about perl, but I have a fairly
good group of surrounding people that I'll engage when I can facilitate
it.  Until then I need to raise some cash with the site and that means
getting orders in the door.  And that in turn means teaching the Orders
Clerk to use Interchange.

Mike ... Once IC 5 is released we are planning a big upgrade to our companies 
internal interchange support systems. As part of this we are planning on going 
through the IC online help and updating the existing sections, adding in new 
sections etc. As usual, we will probably go to work on the visual design and 
layout of it as well. :-) My hope is that the work we do here will be able to be 
integrated into IC and will be of benefit to the rest of the community.

We would be quite happy to help out here in whatever ways we can as well.  The 
problems in the past for me has been how exactly does one contribute to the 
docs.  The new wiki has changed all that now ... and things should be a whole 
lot simplier.

Hi

David (I have seen 5.0 David, really looks great, you guys did a great job
on the html)

Now, for this topic...

What about building a tool to contribute right from ADMIN, where most of us
are all day anyways. Some sort of questionnaire (or form) that emails
directly to the devgroup, and gets databased, code only, no questions.

We could submit snippets, links to [strip] tagged content, whole pages,
helptips (for integration into backend/frontend covering demo/advanced
functions), etc.

All I have to say is, out of sight, out of mind. One could post interesting
code, or a link to [strip] tagged content in under 60 seconds by hitting the
"contribute" tab in admin. As hectic as all our lives are, I am less likely
to search out a good home (Archives, Docs, RTFM, Forum, Wiki) for said
snippet, log in, cut, paste, explain... Alot of times I have something cool,
but don't think it is worth crowding 10000 inboxes. When I have something
cool, the world does not stop, and my credit card debt does not pause for
nobody, so I am off to the next todo item.

I have been doing taxes, so I have not seen the Wiki, but I most likely am
not going to spend 6 hours in the Wiki, however most of us are in our ADMIN
most of the day. Alot of us are not Interchange developers, simply people
trying to make their store in IC, so the urge to stop what you are doing,
venture out to somewhere else, log it, etc is not *as viable.

The contribute would not be for questions, so it would "archive" pure big
juicy code, snippets, helptips, etc, so we would not have to wade through
questions and quoted replies. Maybe the Wiki could be used to search these,
and/or edit these.

If you are to empower people, you must do it where they are, not where you
want them to be.

Paul

BTW, I am not criticizing, just posting an idea.

...

I can confirm this behavior with IC 4.8.6, FreeBSD and Perl 5.8! But I 
can't increase the number of the processes with several restarting of 
the IC server.

Out of interest, are you (either of you) running the with UNIX or

Actually the cause of this one is a rather interesting one. We have tracked down
the beginnings of it, but have been too busy to do anymore.

What is happening is when a request comes in, Interchange wakes up 2 process not
1 and hands the request to both. The first serve completes it and exits the
second one chokes.

Then the regular house cleaning kills it. However since when you do a shutdown
the house cleaning doesn't seem to be run process are left alive.

They are not dead. In most cases if you issue a kill -48 the process shuts
itself down cleanly...

This only seems to happen in RPC mode. With one or more CPUs. It is very easy to
recreate...

We started working on it in late November and early December, but then things
went nuts... We will be looking into it more in February...

There's no need really - you can create the global UserTag yourself,
as explained in the article you quoted.

UNIX-mode only!

There are two other coworkers, who use the same IC in the same machine.
I've asked them for more informations (how to start, stop or restart IC) 
and
did not get the answer yet. I want to know, if they stop, start or 
restart IC with another commands than me.
It seems to, if there are some syntax errors and/or one of the running 
IC Server is very busy, some IC Server will not stop or end by any 
command like

bin/interchange --stop
or
bin/interchange -u -r

In the error.log file, i have for example

- - - [27/November/2002:17:38:35 +0100] - - page server pid 32045 won't die!
- - - [27/November/2002:17:38:39 +0100] - - page server pid 32043 won't die!
- - - [27/November/2002:17:38:39 +0100] - - page server pid 32047 won't die!
- - - [27/November/2002:17:38:43 +0100] - - page server pid 32049 won't die!

What kind of the reason can that be?

Thanks!

Among other things an infinite loop in embedded Perl might cause this error 
message.

Any Perl code executed by Interchange might do the "trick".

Hi...  can you provide more details, such as the actual rewrite rules 
and examples of how you do the filtering within IC? I'd like try this out!

Subject: [ic] embedded perl
Message-ID: <015501c2bbd5$87401ff0$0400a8c0@mercury>

Hi all,

Posted a few days ago regarding the structure and use of the &Scratch, $Tag
and $Tmp "objects" in most of the components.  Just wondering if anyone and
any good, solid information on the topic of component writing for
interchange.  I've looked through most of the interchange documentation and
the rtfm site but I can't find any solid information on what these objects
are and how / why to use them.

I need to extend some of the functionality of interchange by using
components or embedded perl and I thought the best starting point would be
to look at the existing components.  Most of the code makes sense but there
is no explanation of the use of these objects or the structure of the
components in general.

Any help or pointers would be excellent, thanks in advance

Subject: [ic] Interchange-users guidelines [semi-monthly posting]
Message-ID: <20030114090900.A19898@bill.heins.net>

interchange-users@icdevgroup.org is a list for users who have questions about
configuring, setting up, and fine tuning Interchange catalogs.  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://www.icdevgroup.org/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://www.icdevgroup.org/
 
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 4.8.6. 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.

 -- Contextual quoting is preferred, i.e.

		Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):
		> Some limited text that will give context.
		> 
		
		Your reply.

    versus

		Your reply, lazily put at the top.

		Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):
		> The whole big blob of the previous posts, including
		> signatures and all

	In fact, the author of the program stops following a thread
	the moment this lazy quoting method is used. He figures that
	if you can't take half a minute of your time to save multiple
	minutes of the readers time, the heck with ya.

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.

Neat idea -- however I believe that without some hoops to jump through

The one area I would like to do that in is for online help. Now that
it is editable, it would be fairly easy to do a "send this entry to
ICDEVGROUP" button that might yield some good results.

D Zhangy, RTFM yourself!!!!  As you will see from my post, I have already
stated that I have read the relevant documentation - which begs the
question - can you read?

Upon examining ALL of the Perl source code, it starts to become clearer how
the product functions, the items in question are simply identifiers for the
objects defined within the Vend package.  However, this is not very easy to
find, are all users of interchange expected to be experienced software
developers, with a lot of time on their hands?  The whole point of using
interchange is that it offers a fast solution.  If I had 6 months to spare
searching source code then I would write it ALL myself.

Thanks for your lack of help, it's posts like yours that bring the excellent
group down!

What do you specifically mean by 'refuses the connection' - what error 
page/message are you getting. Is your web server software SSL enabled? It 
is possible to run the entire UI under SSL, though I do not believe that 
this is the default - and if you were attempting to do that without SSL 
capability that would most certainly cause a problem.

    It's *in* the manual, though.  If you look in the ictags reference under
tmp, scratch, and tag it has the syntax for ITL and embedded perl for every
one of those.  Almost all of ic's components are documented there.

Your outburst is totally unjustified, and his RTFM is justified. The
$Tag object *is* documented, rather extensively in fact -- a call
example is given for almost every standard IC tag.

The other ones you mention are documented as well.

So I don't know what you are reading, but you aren't reading it
very thoroughly. Perhaps downloading the docs and using grep on
the files will help you.

Which shipping method are you trying to use?

Most posts like this that I've seen are typically because the shipping
method is not associated with the country properly. Make sure that the
shipping method(s) you are trying to use are properly linked with their
corresponding countries by viewing the "shipmodes" column in the
countries table.

If that doesn't help, please list the shipping method(s) you are trying
to use and the version of IC that you are running.

I guess the answer to this is: the icgroup is stupid. It takes so many years

It is mentioned on 336 lines in the version in CVS.

bill:~% grep '$Tag' /usr/share/doc/interchange-4.8.5/*.pod | wc -l
    650
bill:~% 

And on 650 lines in the RPM documentation for 4.8.5. I think the
difference has to do with long lines in the SDF source.

Subject: [ic] [4.9.5] Question about lib/UI/pages/include/item_option_simple
Message-ID: <3E245FF2.6000805@thirddimension.net>

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the code in 
lib/UI/pages/include/item_option_simple.  This can apply to both 4.8.6 
and 4.9.5 (versions I'm running).

What does $v do?

...
[perl interpolate=1 tables="[cgi mv_data_table]"]
         my $db = $Db{[cgi mv_data_table]}
                 or return;
         my ($k,$v);
         $db->clone_row($CGI->{ui_clone_id}, $CGI->{sku});
         $db->clone_set('sku', $CGI->{ui_clone_id}, $CGI->{sku});
         return;
[/perl]
...


It seems to serve no purpose other then to stop the Options Editor from 
functioning properly.

..
             map {
                 my $default = 0;
                 s/[,\r\n]//g;
                 if(s/\*//g) { $default = 1; $hasdefault = 1; }

                 if($v) {
                     if(/=/) {
                         ($left,$right) = split('=',$_);
                     } else {
                         $right = $_;
                         $left = substr($right,0,3);
                     }

                     while($seen{$left}++) { $left++; }

                     $_ = join('=',$left,$right);
                     if($default) { $_ .= "*"; }
                 }
             } @value;
..

Anything below 'if ($v)' does not get executed which results in an 
option's default being lost, or not being set, when using the Options 
Editor.  Moving 'if($default) { $_ .= "*"; )' below the if block, solves 
this issue.

Also futher down there is this line:

$odb->set_field($key,'o_widget','select');

This will cause the widget style to be lost upon use of the Options 
Editor.  Removing this line solves this issue.


Any ideas?

Message-ID: <NDBBIIJJGLBCFNCIIKLJEEOLFHAA.dave@davesport.com>

I'm using IC 4.8.6 and have been using the UPS WWW lookups for freight, but
as you know, UPS Ground isn't resolving these days.

I've decided to go to internal lookups to solve this and future problems.
I've uploaded current rate charts, and a pertinent zone chart to my products
directory. I've set shipping methods in the UI and the zone and rate charts
show up there. I've added a catalog.cfg directive for the zone table, but
when I restart IC, I get the following error message:

..Using default DBM database...Bad shipping file for zone 'u', lookup
disabled.

My 980.csv file looks just like the included 450.csv file (except of course
for the values). I even tried stripping out all the text, but I still get
the same error.

Do you have any ideas what's going on, or have a working zip.csv file I
could look at?

Thanks,

I've looked through the Interchange source modules for the
various payment gateways and they all seem to support pretty
much the same features. Has anyone had any personal experiences,
good or bad, with one of these providers that would make you
make a recommendation? Thanks for any advice,

Usually this happens when the browser can't find the java applet. And
usually this is because you told it to look in the wrong place. Remember,
without specifying a location it will look in /cgi-bin/foundation or
whatever.

I suspect you need a:

<param name="filelocation" value="/path/to/applet">

in your applet definition.

    I like the bank of america gateway, which is called "estore settle-up".
Aside from the issue where they seem to set everyone's account up wrong the
first time (by giving it a full estore instead of just the gateway api),
it's pretty painless to implement.  And inexpensive too.  It costs me less
than $30 a month.  Since they are one of the major merchant banks they can
set up merchant accounts at the same time.
    I don't get a kickback or anything from this, but the boa rep I dealt
with, Margaret Carter at 804-515-2292 was the most pleasant person I think I
have dealt with on the phone in the last ten years.
    I suspect that this is probably more a topic for interchange-biz, not
sure though.  The relative ease at which boa is integrated versus some of
the others that require the installation of special libraries probably has
some relevancy here.  Plus the fact that I can answer questions about the
boa integration but not any of the others...

This looks like a syntax error in your shipping.asc file otherwise it
would say "bad shipping file for zone 980.csv"  (at least that is what
mine said when the actual zone file is bad)

can you post the relevant section of your shipping.asc file?

Folks,

I was wondering if the new Interchange Logo is GPL'd or not.  Can we freely
use it on our web site or do we need permission to?

Thanks,

Stefan Hornburg is the current ICDEVGROUP captain, and probably the one 
who should speak definitively on this matter. But it is my understanding 
that everything in the CVS repository and available for download in the 
tarball is licensed to you under the GPL.

I have been using 4.8.3 for a long time now and trying to avoid
incremental upgrades. I see that 4.8.6 is worth upgrading to but
everyone seems to be working with 4.9.x or higher.

IC is not totally new to me, as we have been using it since
MV 4.04a but I am not sure if 4.9.5 is stable enough to put
into production.

Just would really love to get the benefits of all the 4.9.x
changes and not just do a small jump to 4.8.6


Anyone using 4.9.x in production reliably ?????

    I have a few domains that are set up to do nothing other than forward to
my main domain.  The apache virtualhost configuration for those domains
contains the following:

  ErrorDocument 404 http://store.subcultural.com/subcultural/index?src=pcing
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^.*$
http://store.subcultural.com/subcultural/index?src=pcing  [L,R]

    Those configuration elements redirect to my main domain and add a
parameter.  On the main site, I simply use...

[if cgi src eq pcing]
 <one set of tags>
[elsif cgi src eq pces]
  <a different set]
[/elsif]
[else]
  <another set>
[/else]
[/if]

    ... in various places on the page to output tags specific for that
domain.  I should note that the optimization strategy I am shooting for is
not complete indexing of my catalog but instead focuses on a few keywords
that are key to the entire product line.  The cgi value is lost once the
spider starts to move to the interior pages but in my strategy I do not care
about those pages (although you could pick them up in the value namespace on
interior pages).  The first term I did this with, "punk clothes", now lists
my site in the top 15 results for searches originating from either the
google or inktomi engines.  This is with no sites linking to me, either.  I
just output a page title of "punk clothes", some silly text with "punk
clothes" near the very top of the page, and that's about it.  I have no
experience in search engine submission, I spent about a week in mid-december
doing some research and seeing how I could use the fact that the site is
dynamic to help get good placement.

    For some domains, I send an additional parameter that tells the main
site to only display a certain class of products.  This doesn't have
anything to do with my search engine strategy but instead has to do with the
fact that the "punk" teens don't want to see "goth" clothing and vice versa.
To placate this idiocy, I have some logic in my page header (LEFTRIGHT_TOP)
that looks for an incoming cgi variable called "scene".  If it is present, I
set a scratch variable called "filter".  If filter is set, product scan tags
have additional parameters appended to them.  These parameters look for
keywords in the "inactive" field (yes, I should've created another field for
this) by adding se=[scratch filter]/op=rm/sf=inactive to the scan string.  I
have also modified the promo, random, and cross components to skip results
that don't meet the filter criteria.  This effectively allows for certain
portions of my product catalog to be displayed.
    You can see this in action at www.subcultural.com .  The filter thing is
on the left hand side.  You might notice that you can go three pages into
the search results and then filter to another "scene" and the search will
automatically be reissued.  That is a little more complicated to do and I
didn't cover how to do it in this message.  You can also go to
www.subcultural.com?scene=punk and you will see that the punk filter will be
applied when the page loads.  If you add &src=pcing you will see that the
title and some of the text on the page changes as well.  My using the
rewrite rules as described above and various combinations of the two
variables, I can control the page look and the page keywords on a per-domain
basis.

    It's all really simple to do, since it's primary setting, testing, and
retrieving of scratch, cgi, and value variables.  The sky's the limit as far
as what you can do once you realize the flexibility that dynamic page
generation offers.  Also, don't restrict yourself with the default
Foundation components.  I think use of the default category_vertical or
category_horizontal navigation is one of the major stumbling blocks we all
have, design-wise.  I use a modified version at subcultural but it's still
very recognizeable.  At sophee, we didn't use any Foundation components.
The nav isn't even database driven, it's done through an include file loaded
with conditionals.  Most of the logic on a sophee page is right in the page.
By not trying to component-ize everything at sophee we had a lot more
flexibility.  Flexibility is interchange's greatest feature and I think when
this feature is heavily utilized it yields the nicest results.

As far as I know and have read on this list many time, IC doesn't store
the credit card number. Plus, it's already capable of sending the cc
number off in pgp file. Do you have pgp encryption set up for the
catalog you are running?

Message-ID: <000001c2bc21$6ef221e0$0507a8c0@oemcomputer>

Hi,

Can anyone explain this? I've tried looking for a bug but can't
track anything concrete down.

Using the demo store admin, create a new page.

Enter (as content):
[discount] discount tag on this line
[discount-price] ...price
[discount-ibble] ...ibble
[discount-prices] ...prices
[discount-pricefixing] ...pricefixing
[discount-subtotal] ...subtotal

Go back to the main edit screen, and then select the new page again
(to reload it). The content now reads:
[discount] discount tag on this line
$0.00 ...price
[discount-ibble] ...ibble
 ...prices
 ...pricefixing
[discount-subtotal] ...subtotal

[discount-price] has been replaced with $0.00, and discount-price*
have been removed completely. Nothing appears in the error log. If
you examine the file on disk, it's correct, so it's something to do
with the load.

I posted something similar over Christmas, but the list was fairly
quiet then, so it may have been overlooked. Is it a bug or am I
doing something wrong? 

Many thanks,

John

Here's the UPS Ground listing, the others are similar. I tried using the UI
to do the shipping methods first, and once that didn't work, I edited the
shipping.asc directly and added the value following the 'u'. I got the value
from an old mail list message, and I think that is what's causing the

    Isn't there supposed to be the name of the CSV file after the 'u' in the
second line ?
Something like            150   u Ground
Also be careful of hidden tabs so use something like vi to edit.

Here is my upsg definition below from shipping.asc.  It seems to work for me so
maybe it will help.

Thanks Jon,

That make sense. I changed my shipping.asc to be similar, as below for
example using the names of each rate file.

UPSGND  UPS Ground      weight  0       0       e Nothing to ship!
{'ui_ship_type' => "UPSI",'table' => "Ground",'zone' => "980",'ups' =>
"1",'at_least' =>$
UPSGND  UPS Ground      weight  0       150     u Ground [value name=zip
filter=digits default=98045]
UPSGND  UPS Ground      weight  150     9999999 e Too heavy for UPS

But I get the same error on IC restart. Hmmm. BTW I used the Pico editor to
do it. I'll look at it in vi to see if there's any difference.

    Now look at your first line. The, in your case, UPSI needs to match your
zone
table headers.... don't quote me there it has been a while since I dug into this

shipping stuff.  Also in the first line where you have Ground, that needs to be
your
zone file. If my memory is correct.. The basic flow is to take your zone file
and search
for the destination zip code (first 3 digits) to find a ship to zone value which
is an index
into the rate table, in this case Ground.  In your case the zone file would be
called something
like ups980 to match your from zip code. You would get this file from the UPS
web site.

    Ignore if already answered.... Working my way through old email

        I had the same problem. I noticed that the download file in the
URL was like ...  file.txt.html    which doesn't exist so you will end
up with
an empty file.  In the download section of admin/gentable.html  add
the following       add_dot_html => 0,
That changed the url to be     file.txt     as expected.

P.S.  I can't take credit for that fix.  Mike helped me with it.

Subject: [ic] Extending a UPS Zone File above 150
Message-ID: <001601c2bc49$8370d6c0$0b00a8c0@CCS>

Here's the problem:
I want to be able to extend our UPS Internal Lookup file past the 150lbs
mark, I have the data and have entered (up to 300lbs) into the csv file,
but when I check out goods above the 150 mark this shipping option does
not appear, (it works perfectly for orders up to 150lbs). I have another
quick fix shipping option that works on formulas for weights above
150lbs and it shows in these cases, but I would prefer to use the zone
files.

I would like the settings to allow for shipping weights up to 1000lbs
although we rarely ship above 600lbs on an individual order.

Is there a limitation somewhere in IC that restricts the Internal UPS
lookup from going above 150 lbs and if so can it be over-ridden?

Or is there a way of calculating shipping for each item in a cart
separately and then showing the total cost?

Using IC 4.9.3. on cPanel (so accessing much of IC can be limited)

Thanks in advance

    First of all make sure you have read/write access to shipping.asc and
the
associated rate table file. This may not be the case for a cPanel hosted
site.

    If I'm not mistaken all you need to do is modify the limit value in
shipping.asc
here is just a snip-it not the whole thing:

upsg    UPS Ground      weight  0       150     u Ground

Change the 150 to something higher... 600 I guess, and
then make sure you have every pound 150 - 600 covered in the rate table.
Or at least an entry for every weight you'll need a match for.
That I think would be the Interchange part
But does/would UPS, or whatever carrier,  provide such a rate table ?

    I don't think history scan would do it.  The problem is that more
information is necessary to determine how to do it.  What should the nav
display if you jump straight to a product detail page (like via pasting the
url in the browser)?  We need a little more information about how navigation
occurs on your site in order to help.

    Thanks Jeff.

    The searches are currently related to either the prod_group or
category column from the products tables, or a combination of
the two columns.  Beyond that there would be, as you mentioned,
the product detail page. In that case I would assume that would
not require a link back to it, but would want to display the links
to get back to where they came from. So if on a detail (flypage)
then would see something like.

HomeLink -> prod_groupLink -> categoryLink -> SkuNonLink

If they went straight from front page to a detail page then would show

HomeLink -> SkuNonLink

Does that make sense ?  I've seen this feature on web sites, but
can't recall one now that I'm looking for it, and I thought some has
done this in IC.

Thanks again.
Jon

UPS has discount rate for over 200 lbs, called "hundred weight".  That rate
is not available form the materials they distribute, but can ba calculated
with their software "worldshop". So, there might be a formular for that.

If it's possible to get that formular, it might be do the lookup up to 200
lbs. then, switch to formular after that.
UPS may not be willing to give out that formular though, or those response
to 800-pickups have no idea.

Well, well, don't complaint to much on cpanel though. You can still use
admin interface to edit, or make a new one.

Message-ID: <001001c2bc60$3c94eb30$8703cb92@daqun>

Suggestion to icdevelgoup:

To what I can see, there are 3 main problems when interchange is under
cPanel:

1.    permition settings of files
2.    unable to use the restart command by a cart user
3.    UI not accessible to users.

Is it possible that icdevelgroup negotiates with cPanel to make a deal?

There is advantage of this.

1    cPanel does make the interchange more popular
2    cPanel has good control on collecting license fee.

If a deal can be reached, say $0.10 or $0.20 or so per month per
installation of cPanel goes to icdevelgroup, and the two parties work
together to solve the main problems to certern extend, it may be good to
both sides. icdevelgroup can use the fund to do many things, say: working
out a hard copy manuel, have some one working full time for coordinating the
integration, etc.

Just an idea to make things better. I don't know if it may or may not be
practical. Or, even it's tried already.

_______________________________________________

Thanks Jon
I've used the UI Interface to setup the values for shipping but with
cPanel I can't read (or even view) shipping.asc but when I do changes to
shipping via the UI the shipping.asc file is updated so I'm assuming (a
dangerous thing I know) that the correct values are put into place.

BTW the rate values I'm using are a compilation of UPS and common
carrier rates as we decide on the carrier depending on shipping weights
and destinations and our tables are reasonably accurate.

If the above is the case could there be anywhere else that the 150 limit
is set that I can get at, remembering the limits of cPanel?

If anyone has an idea please let me know as at the moment I'm going to
try using a separate lookup with 151-300 and see if that works (the
logic being 150 lines rather than the number 1-150

but it allwys returns empty, no data is visible ..... it seems that the data

I am using the tool at the admininterface to generate it ...what am I doing
wrong ?
I want to see statistics on the items that were sold ...
Same thing happens in the live demo 1 of interchange as well ....

Thank you!

Hello

I have set up an online store with Interchange 4.8.6 in two different
languages, English and Spanish.

Allright, now here comes the problem I would like to solve:  Depending on
the products, we currently have two different shipping points, one in Europe
and the other in Asia.  Of course, shipping rates should be different
depending on what product you buy.

Is it anyway to do this with Interchange, that is, a checkout page that is
"smart" and displays shipping options depending on shipping point of
products purchased?

As you can see, in this example, the currency code is EUR.  Now we would
also like to accept US dollars, Canadian dollars and British pouds, which
can now be processed with paypal, however have no idea on how to do this.

Say the customer chooses US dollars in the currency selection panel.  The
URL would be something like
www.interchange.com/interchange/process/locale/en_US/currency/en_US/index.ht
ml.  Is it anyway to put any interchange tag at <input type="hidden"
name="currency_code" value="EUR"> so that it shows the chosen currency,
instead of EUR to PayPal?

Thanks for your help.

Anyway to avoid placing orders for products that are out of stock?

I have implemented the following, but only works in the flypage.html:

[if-item-data inventory quantity > 0]
     <td align="right">
       [L 11_5]Quantity:[/L] <input type="text" name="mv_order_quantity"
size="2" value="1">
     </td>
     [/if-item-data]

It makes possible purchasing an item when stock is greater than 0.

Did you try with

[tmp noformat_cost][total-cost noformat=1][/tmp]

and work with

[if scratch mv_locale =~ /en_US/]
do something ...etc.

Hello group,

I've put together a few pages about setting up credit card handling.
Most people in this group will run into these topics sooner or later,
and I'm sure quite a few people here are more knowledgeable about the
subject than I am at this point. If I have missed something or if I'm
uttering complete nonsense in the document mentioned below, I'd be glad
to receive comments about it.

    I know how it can be done without using the accessories tag, by building
your own loop to display the options.  There's a message I posted in the
last month showing how to do this, it might not have been indexed yet in the
archives, you'd have to go right to the pipermail page that shows all the
messages.  If you can't find it, let me know.

Subject: [ic] locale - apply changes - where do the pennies go?
Message-ID: <1042646119.2730.60.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Since I've been using locale features to dynamically switch between
French and English with Interchange 4.8.6 I've had a puzzling problem.

In the back end, if I "apply changes", the pennies on item prices in the
back and front end are truncated to zero. This affects more than just
the catalog that changes were applied too. As soon as I restart
Interchange the pennies come back. The problem runs deeper than currency
presentation, items sold, are recorded with pennies truncated to zero in
the database.

Note that I've added rows to the locale table, but haven't deleted or
modified what was there to begin with.

Any suggestions?

You might want to include some [item-*] tags to actually display the data 
from the search, i.e.:

[item-data orderline sku]
[item-data orderline quantity]
[item-data orderline status]

... slightly faster would be to add return_fields spec to your search terms:

rf=sku,quantity,status


Then you can do:

[item-code]
[item-param quantity]
[item-param status]

I have done this in the latest CVS. When you do a help edit, you can
check a box which will send the help to the docs list. We will see

When you are developing a site, do you generally enter the MSRP, List, or

Would I be correct to assume that most folks are putting in their MSRP

It's become a discussion around here.. any input would be greatly appreciated.

It's really up to you and what works best in your scenario.

Most of our clients use what you refer to as MSRP as the price that is
displayed to most visitors. We have some that also store additional
prices like actual cost which can be used for reporting.

Again, it is totally up to you and whatever you think will work best. I
can say that no matter how you decide to proceed that IC can accommodate
:)

    You might want to take the designers off it and put a programmer on it,
payment gateway integration probably isn't a design issue.  The gateway
information goes in the catalog.cfg file located in the catalog root
directory.

I'm pretty sure that Interchange is buggy with switching locales. There are
a number of reports which describe odd behaviour of Interchange, especially
dropping fractional numbers. For one thing, you cannot switch the currency
twice on an Interchange page without wreaking havoc. Though I'm really
interested in Interchange's i18n features, I fear I cannot do much about
it due to limited resources.

I'm sorry that I'm not able to give you and others more help in this respect.

I believe these problems go away completely if you just set LC_ALL to "C"
before starting Interchange.

Switching the currency twice on a page won't work flawlessly regardless of this
setting. This is a bug and I reported it in an earlier posting to interchange-core,
I guess. Not easy to fix though.

Au contraire:

    reconfig=[reconfig]
    [calc]
	@$Items = ();
	$CGI->{mv_order_item} = 'os28004';
	$CGI->{mv_todo} = 'refresh';
	return;
    [/calc]

    [update process]

    Default: [total-cost]
 
    [setlocale locale=de_DE]
    de_DE: [total-cost]

    [setlocale locale=fr_FR]
    fr_FR: [total-cost]

    [setlocale locale=en_US]
    en_US: [total-cost]

    [setlocale locale=de_DE]
    de_DE: [total-cost]


Yields for me:

    1

    Default: $14.95

    de_DE: DM 27,64

    fr_FR: 91,61 FF

    en_US: $14.95

    de_DE: DM 27,64 

What is not working? If it cannot be described, it cannot be fixed.

(Run on latest CVS devel.)

Note that I am running with an environment of LC_ALL at "C". If I set it
to de_DE or some other locale that uses "," as a decimal separator there
are problems, I agree.

If there is something wrong that can actually be described and duplicated,
I am sure it will be trivial to fix. But so far I see nothing.

I wouldn't argue if people who used procmail to set up autoresponders
were jailed, but it is probably a bit extreme. 8-)

Assuming the offender hasn't subsribed another address to make it
impossible to figure out who he is, he/she will be unsubscribed before
another flood of these stupid things hits us.

Doesn't anyone know how to program email software? It should be
automatic to discard Priority: bulk or Priority: junk messages
before doing anything like this.

I am using Mandrake Linux 9.0 and I can't get Interchange 4.9.5 to load the 
catalogs because it could not find perl-Safe-Hole.  I have installed the 
program using RPM but interchange refused to acknowledge that it is 
there!  What went wrong?  What else can I do?

You changed the whole locale, not the currency alone. Try the same sample with
[setlocale currency=..].

So if ExecutionLocale isn't sufficient to solve the problem with the
broken fractional digits, shouldn't we preset the locale in the init
scripts or is there some other measure like a warning on startup ?

    Yes, this is on the top but justified. I wanted to begin by saying I

Isn't that a cPanel configuration issue ? Or rather the configuration of file
permissions
when the cart is created or some time like that. In any case should be easy to
resolve.

This can be done at the hosting company pretty simply I believe.
Possibly as a separate script.  I've seen it as an added feature to the
restart section of the 'Web Host Manager' tool... don't know anything
about that tool though.

It is accessible to the owners of the shopping cart with cart permissions.
Not sure what you mean here.

It should be sufficient. There is probably just a fault in the keys
that [setlocale currency=de_DE] sets.

Subject: [ic] Need Help Creating Items
Message-ID: <F14TWoqLkISi2zmx34n0001165b@hotmail.com>

Hello:

New to this list but I spend a good amount of time
searhing the archives and found no answer helpful.
I am currently using a CVS of 4.9.6 and I am having
some difficulties setting up and creating items.

I sell computer memory and custom built desktop PC's
at local computer shows, I am now at the point where
I would like to begin selling via internet using
minivend/interchange.  I can not make item that
allows for multiple and dynamic changes for PC's
various options and parts.

For instance, if I create PC item, one that has
two CPU option, how do I also allow option for 2nd
CPU and for various CPU speeds? The same goes for
memory and hard drives. I sell tower that allows you
to have up to four hard disk drives, along with
floppy, DVD and or CD rom, BUT if you chooose DVD,
then you are not able to choose CDROM, and of
course vice-versa. I wish not to have to create many
items as it would prohibit me from allowing "Specials"
at a later time.

Here is my problem. You choose tower case. You choose
motherboard. Motherboard you choose allows two CPU's.
You are then allowed to buy one or two CPU's. (You
are only allowed to buy one if you had chosen a different
motherboard. Next you choose floppy, CD, DVD or JAZ
drive. If you choose all of the above, you only have
enough space for one hard drive. If you choose one floppy
and one DVD, then you are allowed two hard drives!!!

Does this make sense?

Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE help me to create item that removes
AND adds options based on previous choices?

I LOVE Interchange!!!

Subject: [ic] I Use VeriSign, Unable to Test with 4+1's...
Message-ID: <F143uME4dyNDvcLCoLI0000bca9@hotmail.com>

hello again.

I have an account (payflow) with verisign. I have the following
information configured within the admin/preferences (no category).

MV_PAYMENT_HOST      https://test-payflow.verisign.com
MV_PAYMENT_ID        vadimsPCs
MV_PAYMENT_MODE      signio
MV_PAYMENT_PARTNER   VeriSign
MV_PAYMENT_REFERER
MV_PAYMENT_SECRET    MY-LOGIN-PASSWORD
MV_PAYMENT_VENDOR    vadimsPCs

As you can see PAYMENT_ID and MV_PAYMENT_VENDOR are the
same. Is this correct? I only see failures, even with the
VeriSign test server. Whenever I try to buy something,
using the 4111 1111 1111 1111 credit card, I get the
following error:

"
There were errors in your last submission:

(Payment process): There was an error accepting payment: Real-time charge 
failed. Reason:

The areas you need to correct are shown in this color below.

Please verify the information below and click the "Place Order" button to 
process your order.
"

The problem with the above is that I never actually see anything
in RED except for the error message itself. Is there any way of
telling if credit auth is happening or if it works at all? Can
someone help me with what I should have or do when using VeriSign?

Thanks to you all.

Vadim

Subject: [ic] Broken Icons Under Admin (but fixed...)
Message-ID: <1042691465.aa5ca8c444e62@webmail.hawk.com>

I've recently noticed, after performing a CVS up, that I
had alot of broken icons and backgrounds. I rectified this
by copying everything under

/src/interchange/share/interchange/en_US
to
/apache/htdocs/interchange/en_US

Since I would like to keep up with CVS, hopefully in a 
helpful way, I would like to know if there is anything
else that I need to do in order to keep up with changes, 
especially those like this? I normally just perform 
a CVS update, followed by the normal .log removal and 
finished up by a restart of interchange.

Thank you in advance,

-mike

You will definitely want to take out the https://

just use test-payflow.verisign.com 

I'm not sure about the variable identifiers, I'm using the SIGNIO_SERVER
identifier instead, but yours may work fine.

Subject: [ic] new table with new price field
Message-ID: <00a001c2bd1c$73563a40$9e61d30c@c1404715a>

I've created a table called customorder with a price field called
customprice.  I can run queries on this new table and pull up the custom
price, but I can't pass this price on to the shopping cart.  Is this a
situation where I'll have to do some Perl coding in lib/Vend, or am I just
missing something in another file like after.cfg?  I haven't done anything
other then create the table and columns, add a couple lines of data, and
create the html page with query.

The table contains 4 columns called number, username, sku, and customprice.
The rows below 'number' are numbered 1-1000, the other columns should be
self-explanatory.

Thanks,
Joe

Look at your catelog.cfg, work on lines and files indecated;

I saw one as "reset" but not "retart". It removes everything, and builds a
fresh cart.
I would not expect every or most hosting company  with cpanel to make a
script.

Sorry, what I tried to say was the shared parts in lib. I didn't look at
details. But, it seems that it could give a user more control if  some of
them move to cart directory.

That let me wonder if I were in a position to suggest it. I am  not a member
of icdevelgroup, but simply an interchange user. I love interchange. I
appreciate icdevelgroup's work very much, and wish they get necessary fund.
Now, there is no support from some major (or well known) commercial companpy
(I don't know though, I just know that RedHat stopped support). Things may
become difficult. Just think, a deal with cpanel could be good to every one,
generate constant fund, more or less, and make something become possible.

you should link that directory instead. It makes life much easier

here you have the guide how to do that:

Hi All,

Has anyone written a payment interface for Interchange to the Barclaycard
ePDQ ClearCommerce engine. Or written an XML interface to a similar payment
gateway.

I could really do with some pointers as the 525 page API manual is rather
unhelpful and dense (or is it me that is dense!). The folk at barclaycard
ePDQ support are friendly and helpful but not programmers or scripters.

Cheers,

Hillary

I often use the following technique:

[perl tables=foo]
$set = $Db{foo}->query('select question,answer from foo');
for (@$set) {
    ($question, $answer) = @$_;
    ...
}
[/perl]

were using mysql exclusively, so can the table name be arbitrary, or does it
have to be one of the explicitly registered tables (products, userdb - in
our case)?

ok, now i get data, this is great, but how can I group it ? so i want to see
totals for an username for one item, now it just displays the :
username - item - quantity ....if a customer orderd more than once the same
item, i get to lines ...and i only want to have one.

thank you !!

To my knowledge, any query in the example above would work in your case, regardless of
the tables= and $Db parameter.

I'm getting an error $Db {products} undefined.
keys (%Db) returns empty, although %Db *is* defined.

what do i do with the tables="" attribute within the usertag?

Usertag is:
    UserTag         testcase Interpolate  1
    UserTag         testcase HasEndTag    1
    UserTag         testcase Routine      <<EOR
        sub {
            my ($body) = @_;
            my $rv;
    
            my $rs = $Db {products}->query ('SELECT * FROM products');
    
            return 1;
        }
    EOR

page contains:
    [testcase] test [/testcase]

Results are:
    Apache internal Server error - Premature end of script headers

    IC log shows "Runtime error: Can't call method "query" on an
    undefined value at (eval 840) line 5."

database setup in catalog.cfg is:
    Database         userdb            userdb.txt     __SQLDSN__
    Database         userdb            USER           __SQLUSER__
    Database         userdb            PASS           __SQLPASS__
    Database         products          products.txt   __SQLDSN__
    Database         products          USER           __SQLUSER__
    Database         products          PASS           __SQLPASS__

    (where __SQLDSN__ is dbi::mysql::__DBNAME__::__DBPORT__)

IC v4.8.6
Perl 5.8.0 (i386-linux-thread-multi - could this cause problems like it does
            with locking?)


all i want to do is reuse the DBI connection within my tag.


thanks for any help

    I do also appreciate IC and I'm constantly amazed how a number of particular

people are able devote so much time and some how still make a living. Amazing !
In any case, my view, limited as it is, I would think those that stand to gain
directly from
making cPanel become a more viable solution for IC ought to stand up and put
forth the effort.  The things you've mentioned already, though I'm sure there
are more,
should be fixable.  Ok, let me say it... I think cPanel people ought to come
forth and
make a few changes that would appear to go a long way.  Many of us have already
read from key people in IC development, those amazing people, how they've tried
to get cPanel to make some changes. I'm sure there are a number of reasons why
they haven't made the changes and I probably shouldn't speculate here.  So what
can we, or I, do....

Subject: [ic] A Question about changing the locale
Message-ID: <HAEFLHGFFHCKLMHGBFJMIEOJCAAA.interchange@hertell.com>

Hi,

Is it possible to make a locale-switch in the middle of a page and show
values based on that?

I have a date-widget specified for one field with the table-editor that
should show the date in a different language. If I switch the language like
this, the table-editor shows still the date in the original language. But If
I set the locale on the previous page, the date shows as i need it.

Here is the code i tried with:

[perl]
	$Scratch->{original_language}=$Scratch->{mv_locale};
	$Scratch->{mv_locale}="fi_FI";
	return;
[/perl]
[table-editor ....]
[perl]
	$Scratch->{mv_locale} = $Scratch->{original_language};
	return;
[/perl]

Is it possible to specify just the table-editor-part to be a different
locale, instead of having to switch it on the previous page?

Regards,

Ren�

You need to put

[perl tables=products][/perl]

somewhere on your page before using your usertag or call the
above code within Autoload.

Hi Mike and everyone. Can the 4.9.4 Authorizenet.pm be used in a 4.8.6
catalog to pick up the improved ability to settle auth_only orders? I have a
catalog on the edge of going live and would like to stay with 4.8.6 for it.
It uses Authorize.net and the client is going to need to settle after
shipment. That one 4.9 piece would be great to have, for the rest I would
wait for 5.0. Would it break the 4.8.6 order module to have the newer
Authorizenet.pm included? Thanks.

$Scratch->{mv_locale} is considered to be read-only, use the [setlocale] tag
instead.

Subject: [ic] IC and MySQL not creating tables from makecat
Message-ID: <000801c2bd75$d1da6790$2a00a8c0@frankmaestas>

Hello,

Using RedHat 8.0, Interchange 4.8.6, and MySQL 3.23.52.

MySQL is running just fine.  When using makecat to create the catalog
database,
makecat produces no errors, but there are no tables created. The database
name is there, but is empty. Have restarted IC and MySQL.  Am using root and
a password for MySQL database creation when prompted.

Is this a MySQL permissions issue or is there a "specific" Perl CPAN module
that I may be missing?

Try this sort of thing instead (untested):

    UserTag testcase Interpolate 1
    UserTag testcase hasEndTag 1
    UserTag testcase Routine <<EOR
    sub {
        my $body = shift;     # unused in here

        my $db = ::database_exists_ref('products') or die 'No products table';
        my $query = q{
            SELECT  foo, bar
            FROM    products
        };
        my $resultset = $db->query($query) or die 'SELECT on products failed';

        foreach (@$resultset){
            # $_->[0] is foo
            # $_->[1] is bar
        }
        undef;
    }
    EOR

lies with how to actually get the pfpro binaries and libraries
installed properly. 

1. What must I do, aside from modifying my interchange.cfg to
include Require module Vend::Payment::Signio so that it sees
the VeriSign certificate that came with the versign dev pkg?

2. Where should I install the verisign pkg? Is the location
something that needs to be added, like an environmental variable,
file or other? For instance, PFPRO_CERT_PATH?

3. Must I do anything else besides installing their (Verisigns)
cert? For instance, do I have to generate my own as well? Aside
from the one for my SSL server?

Thanks all in advance,

-mike

OK, made a few changes, now I get different errors.
First, I linked everything in ~payflow/bin to ~interchange/bin,
same for lib and finally linking ~payflow/certs to ~interchange/
certs. Now instead of getting the previous error message, I now get
the following:


(Payment process): There was an error accepting payment: Real-time charge 
failed. Reason: Charge error: 4 Reason: Invalid amount: Range must be $0.01 
thru $25000.00. Please call in your order or try again.
Credit Card Information: Charge error: 4 Reason: Invalid amount: Range must be 
$0.01 thru $25000.00. Please call in your order or try again. 

My total amount is in fact $3,051.59 Does anyone have any insight into
what is going on here? I am using the latest version of IC.

Subject: [ic] FYI - *****UPS Ground Residential Code Change*****
Message-ID: <1042728240.2777.13.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Hello everyone,

I am currently testing a site for shipping options and noticed that UPS
Ground Residential wasn't showing up as a shipping option anymore.

After researching on the UPS site, it seems they've changed the GRDRES
code to GRD.

A quick fix is to recreate a UPS Residential shipping method and change
the "Name of the method" from GRDRES to GRD.

This works for me and didn't require any behind the scenes coding
changes.

Just wanted to let everyone know.

Hope this helps!
Kevin

Message-ID: <BB8A11CC-298D-11D7-BA68-000393717580@showmeinteractive.com>

I've been having trouble off and on with CyberCash.  I finally got the 
3.2.0.4 library installed and it does not work under RedHat 7.2 (or 
newer).

In the error log I see the following errors when I try to place an 
order:
sh: /usr/local/interchange/lib/MCKencrypt: No such file or directory

If I replace the MCKencrypt/MCKdecrypt files with those from the newer 
(3.2.0.6) library the error goes away, but IC returns:

   (cybercash): Charge failed, reason: Location: CCMckDirectLib3_2; 
Message: Decryption failed

I've seen the above error with an Encryption failed message in the past 
(and commentary on the lists), but nothing about a Decryption failure.

Any advice?  Tips?

Thanks,
Kerner

IC doesn't run as root... be sure the user that IC runs as (often it is

My apologies, what I asked about and am struggling with is the

Where might I find other distributions?

I have searched extensively but the version you speak of I have not ever
seen.

  I was having problems of a similar nature.  UPS Ground Commercial was not
available to my sites.  Do you know if UPS GNDCOM was also changed?  And if
so to what.  I likewise checked ups.com but was unable to find their
shipping codes.  I know others have been experiencing this problem.  Could
you give us the ups web location where you found these codes.  Perhaps your
solution for GRNDRES will also apply to GNDCOM.

Thanks,
Michael Stone

Thank you, works as expected.

One question that I have here is that my catalog lives under 
~interchange/catalogs/store_products and foundation, which is 
what the above doc states to backup, assumes that my catalog
lives under foundation as well. Is my catalog in the wrong place?

There's no reason why it shouldn't work.  Keep a backup of your current
AuthorizeNet.pm file - just in case.

My currency, at least what the debug file show, 
shows my delimiter to be a comma , versus a dot .
So 40.94 tries to get approved for 40,94

Any ideas?

Thanks,

My suspicion is that they changed the ratefinder to mimic the same behavior
as their official online tools.  With the online tools ups ground is always
ups ground commercial unless you set a value in another variable that tells
the system it is residential.  I'll bet that sending GRD is in fact
calculating for ups ground commercial, not residential.

Subject: [ic] suid makecat
Message-ID: <20030117123456.6f696ef2.tim@ehost.com.au>

Hi,

We're implementing a browser driven interface to setting up interchange catalogs. One of the steps involved in this is the makecat of course. I have written a wrapper that is suid the interchange user, that checks parameters etc. for safety. However, makecat is called from here as suid aswell, and it is giving me a lot of errors due to the forced -T mechanism.

Has anyone got any solutions to this, other than me auditing makecat and making it -T safe?

Or is what we are trying to do a crazy idea?

Thanks for the help

After hearing so many bad comments about CPanel we did not go down that road. This is just for internal use anyway, so that we can setup many catalogs quickly with inexperienced staff.

Perhaps a rephrase: staff that are not using the root account or the interchange account. They will be shielded from doing anything else by the wrapper script, with the only parameters being the catalog name and template type (sanity checked of course). Most people *should* be able to handle that level of technical skill surely?!

The way it has been done in the past is to actually have the IC server
do it. It is not that hard, and there is even a piece in CVS that
does it.

Basically, you build a catalog that is AllowGlobal and place the
procedure in a page. You authenticate via HTTP basic auth, and
collect the information. Then you build the catalog by calling
makecat.

Since it is already running as the right user ID there are no
issues with tainting.

In fact, if you would make an eg/ style package with HOWTO I would
give you a complete working install. Until then, I will just share
the actual page that builds the catalog, though there is nothing
too difficult there:

Makecat creates an empty database.  Interchange will create and populate
the appropriate tables when you (re)start.

Message-ID: <001101c2bdfa$47e29320$05a2a2a2@david98>

I am still having a severe problem with the UPS external (web) lookup. I
have the shipping zip as 35006 and default zip as 35006, but the UPS still
appears to be using the 450.csv for zone calculation or some other zip code
table. I have been through the entire shipping setup and tables and can not
find anywhere that the system is using anything wrong. Everything is set to
350.

If it looks up a package for zip 35006 it sets zone 7 or 8 while it should
be zone 2! It charges more to ship to my own zipcode and neighboring states
than it does to the west coast!

This is not a new problem, I checked back and it has existed since I started
using Interchange.

Also, how can I trap and log the data being sent to UPS and returned?

Any ideas?

I'm new to interchange...and i was wondering...

Can interchange, be setup to display items/products clicked on,
and then have those items compared by prices, or products
in either the same catgory...or in different ones.???

If so, How do I do that...exactly???
Can someone either explain the step-by-step...or lead me to a easy 
tutuorial...about this.  or walk me thru it on ICQ or a chatroom...

please help me in this...I've been thru the docs...and help 
system...and it appears to me, that it can be done, somehow...
via the search builder page app.  but it's real confusing to me, 
seeing as I'm new to this.

Subject: [ic] Internal Server Error on the Design Tab
Message-ID: <3E2822DC.2020406@saberlogic.com>

I know this has been dealt with before, and I have read through every 
related post I could find but this has really got me pickled.
Yes, I am running RedHat 8, but not apache 2. Currently, the server is 
running apache 1.3.27. But as you can see from the blurb I left below, I 
am using the new redhat version of perl (5.8.0) which I figure is where 
the problem stems. I would REALLY like to not have to reinstall perl as 
this will fsck up just about everything else on the server :) But 
anyways, back to the problem.  As far as I can tell, the error only 
comes from the design tab. Like every body else, a quick trip into my 
apache's error log shows

Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/<name of store>

I dont see anything in any thing related in any of the interchange logs. 
I followed a patch that was posted a while ago:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2002-August/024217.html

But didnt do anything to help my cause. All I really saw different 
between the original version of tlink was in the send arguments there 
was an added "@ARGV=(join ' ',@ARGV)" which didnt make much sense to me 
but I am reaching toward desparate. I added that line in both my 
tlink.pl and my mod_perl_tlink.pl in my /usr/local/interchange/src/ 
which was the only place that I found those files. So I hope that I 
applied them correctly. Here is the information that I can gather from 
the interchange administration page:

Check your variable table to see what the default zip there is set to.
It should be set to your ship from zip.

Another part that I forgot, I installed all of the modules via CPAN. 
Basically I tried to install the Bundle::Interchange and also got all 
the rpm's for the perl modules and installed them from CPAN (I figured 
that there were some extras that would be nice). But like I said, 
everything was installed from CPAN. All of the stores are also using 
MySQL as there database backend. I've tried this on 3 seperate stores. I 
even had originally blamed a store that I had moved over and went 
through and deleted the store and recreated ( :( ) but obviously that 
wasnt the issue.

I have still not had any success trying to get the Internal UPS Lookup
function to return any shipping values. What I'm trying to do is have a
lookup read up to and over the 150lbs limit that UPS has.

To start with I'm using IC 4.9.3 under Cpanel.

Here's what I have:
In etc/after.cfg (unable to directly edit catalog.cfg)

edited)

then I get this error on the checkout page "Note: No zone found for geo

The way we automated our catalog setups, and a lot of other setups, is to
run a setup daemon  under daemontools as root that queries a database every
few minutes.  If there is an entry in the database with setup information
for the catalog, run makecat with the correct options as root, flag the
database that the account was setup.  Makes the setup on the server easy no
hassles with any suid scripts, and makes integrating with pretty much any
type of front end easy.

I was looking through my error logs and came across this in one of my

<continued on with much the same>

I was wondering if there is anything in there that may help. The part 
that caught my eye the most was for example: 

col=link_type key=00002 = simple

Is that last = normal? The reson I ask is that there is no variable setting that value to. This probably is completely irrelivant but I am just hoping for a miracle :)

I've jumped through many hurdles trying to get cybercash working and 
this is the latest.

Encryption apparently works fine as the current error is:
   (cybercash): Charge failed, reason: Location: CCMckDirectLib3_2; 
Message: Decryption failed

Here is what I have done so far:
1. Install MCK 3.2.0.4
2. Make required changes to .pm files
3. Make changes to the catalog.cfg (pointing to the merchant file)
4. Replace the MCKencrypt & MCKdecrypt binaries with binaries from the 
MCK 3.2.0.6 (the older ones don't run under RedHat 7.2 and newer).
5. Restart Interchange
6. Place an order with the test (4111111111111111) credit card number
7. Error message above.

Migrating this client from CyberCash is not an option.  Has anybody 
seen this error before?  Is there any solution?

Thanks,
Kerner

We use a similar setup for our hosting services and it is nice way to integrate
things together. Some servers like Exim need no further setup, they can draw
all informations from the database, others might need the generation of directories,
configurations etc. Keeping all informations in a database is very useful
for a multi-user/mulit-server setup.

a sign where to get it ?

I think I'm able to program this myself (my perl is better than my english
:-) ), but I would like a hint where I can start!

So the payment process looks like:

1. I have to open a page at the Payment Server with a special URL wich has
the products and prices of the cart as a Parameter

2. The Payment Server will open an URL on my server whith the result of the
payment process and the Adress of the customer (so I don't need to have them
in Interchange) as Parameter . There could be 2 Answers : Payment  Accepted
or Denyed

At the moment I have no idea where to start. It would be very helpfull if
there was a Payment-module with the same functions

I hope you can help

Oliver

I'm interested in a web based catalog setup capability too. There are some
Webmin modules out there, but for older versions of IC. 

I'm somewhat new to IC, but I'd be willing to help put a HOWTO doc together
about this if I can get it to work.

Hallo, Oliver !

Die sogenannten "asynchronen" Payment-Gateways sind nicht so beliebt bei den
Interchange-Programmierern, da sie die Behandlung unn�tig erschweren. 
Bietet IClear kein vern�nftiges API ?

Ansonsten sind die Paymentmodule f�r erfahrene Programmierer keine harte
Nu�.

Why don't you use a select-box?

What have you tried so far?

It doesn't seem too difficult to me.  A checkbox either sends a value
or it doesn't.  A checkbox that sends a qty of 1 should do the trick.

replace the text input field with checkboxes. I don;t know how you are going
to handle multiple checked checkboxes, though,  say, 2, 5, 10 at the same
time. How many do they want to buy? You also need to work on variable names,
since each checkbox should have a unique name, while there is only one
variable for buying quanity.

I have seen this error usually on the encyrpt part.  If you go to our demo
store at http://secure.thecomputercorner.com/demo2 and place an order it
will do everthing this is on a rh 8.0 and ic 4.9.3 and cybercash 3.2.0.4 and
it works fine.  I had the same problem with the newer versions of cybercash
and it was will the encyrpt not decyrpt.

If you need some help call me at 740-383-4919 ext 10 and I can walk you
through what we had to do.

But it works fine on our end.

Hope this will help...

    I suspect if you set the name of the checkbox to the same thing that the
quantity value is currently named and set the value of the checkbox to "1"
it might do what you want.

It's for a cross-sell message to allow customers to add additional
products to their order by using checkboxes. For example, if you
purchase a portable cd player you may want to add batteries, headphones
or even a cd cleaning kit. So, then they will be able to check off which
accessories they want to add on the same page that displays the product.

We did this in a pretty cool way using the UpSell Feature. I don't
remember how much modification I did to this code before this final
version, but it looks like you can just plug this right into the UpSell
Component file. It will display the item of the page the person is on as
well as any items that are associated as UpSell items for that product.
It will list a column with checkboxes that people can check to add them
to the order. I don't know if this is the best solution, but it has
worked well for a lot of our clients.

Just make sure the following variables are included near the top of your
flypage.html file:

[set upsell][item-data merchandising upsell_to][/set]
[seti main_item][item-code][/seti]
[seti main_title][item-field description][/seti]
[seti main_price][currency][item-field price][/currency][/seti]

(Sorry about the font colors that are given... I was lazy and didn't do
this version with the Foundation theme.cfg)

It doesn't work with IC. Regardless if the form element is checked or
not, its added the additional items to the cart.

I forgot in my last post that you will obviously need this on your
Flypage.html file where you want the UpSell Component to be dropped in:

[include file="templates/components/upsell" group=content][control]

Thus we have the problem with checkboxes -- they are simply not sent
if not checked.

Therefore, you can't do:

    <input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value=foo>
    <input type=checkbox name=mv_order_quantity value=1>

    <input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value=bar>
    <input type=checkbox name=mv_order_quantity value=1>

Both will be ordered no matter what.

The only solution is to introduce some protocol of your own. Luckily
with IC and ActionMap, this is extremely easy to do.

Well, I did the following on the search results page of http://www.materialboerse.de/:

<FORM ACTION="[process-target secure=1]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_session_id VALUE="[data session id]">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=refresh>
<input type=hidden name=mv_click value=addtobasket>

For any product a checkbox:

<input type=checkbox name=mv_order_item value=[item-code]>

The mv_click code:

[set addtobasket]
[perl table=component]
$CGI->{mv_order_quantity} = join ("\0", map{$Tag->field('count', $_)} @{$CGI_array->{mv_order_item}});
[/perl]
[/set]

I was looking over the shipping status section of the administration menus,
and it seems there is a bug with the "Deleted" entry, I'm not entirely sure
what this space is for, but it lets you update this number to anything you
want, and it doesn't increment when you delete an order (like it appears to
function).  The archive number does increment sometimes, when you archive an
order however.  I just thought I would point this out, and also was just
kind of interested in what exactly the "Deleted" and "Archived" entries are
for.

    They are boolean values, either 0 or 1.  If you are in the order section
of the admin menus and you press the X to delete an order, the "delete"
value is set to 1 and the order doesn't show up anymore.  Appropriately, the
order isn't actually deleted, though, it's just stored with the deleted
field set to 1.

The following test code works for me:

<form action="[process]" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="mv_todo" value="refresh">
    foo: <input type="checkbox" name="mv_order_item" value="foo"><br>
    bar: <input type="checkbox" name="mv_order_item" value="bar"><br>
    <input type="submit" name="Checkbox test"><br>
</form>

The quantity defaults to one so it doesn't need to be specified.

Hello Joachim, thanks for your reply.

Bases on your suggestion I have developed the following formula:

[tmp noformat_cost][calc](int([total-cost
noformat=1]*100)+1)/100[/calc][/tmp]

Since your original idea results in a number with several decima places when
changing currencies (for example 14.493284543), I have done this to cut
decimals to only two (14.49 in the example).  However, there is still a
problem with this.  Sometimes, if, say, you get something like 14.70, it is
shown as 14.7, which results in a failure at the Paypal page, as they
require two decimals formatting.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

At this point I have used the following:

[if scratch mv_currency =~ /en_US/]<input type="hidden" name="currency_code"
value="USD">
[elsif scratch mv_currency =~ /eur_EUR/]<input type="hidden"
name="currency_code" value="EUR">[/elsif][/if]

which works fine.  Thanks for the tip.

    What is prod_groupLink a link to?  Do you have a landing page for each
category, or is it a direct search link?

    I have done this a couple of ways.  One way, we had two layers of
navigation, main category (prod_group) and subcategory (category).  As users
navigated to the landing pages for the categories and subcategories, we set
scratch variables to indicate what pages the user had passed through.
    Another way I have done this is by taking apart the last search and
looking at the prod_group and category search values.

    In that regard I'm pretty much like foundation and pretty much as
you described.  I'm using the prod_group as a brand and the category
as a product type.  Otherwise it is straight from the category_vertical
component with only presentation changes.  I need to get more in tune
with IC, the idea of setting a scratch variable, I guess in the component,
makes sense.  Do I have that right ?

    Your other way; taking apart the last search, how do you do that
exactly ??  I've tried dumping the scratch area and I don't see it in
there.  I must be looking in the wrong place.  Even if I try the above
suggestion I'd really like to know how to get access to the last
search.

Thank again,

Jon

    Well, on the site that I set the scratch variables while passing through
landing pages, there were separate html pages for each prod_group and then
again for each category, so we just did a "set" command at the top of the
page.

[if session last_search =~ /products/]
    [seti lastsearch][data session last_search][/seti]
[/if]

    Put that at the very top of your results.page .  The if statement is a
ghetto solution to keep lastsearch from being set to something we don't
really want when on result pages past the first (the "more" system).  You
will then be able to access the lastsearch value as a scratch variable.  The
complexity is that the lastsearch variable will contain the entire search
string (basically as it appears in the url) and you have to use perl's
"split" and/or regular expressions to take out the parameters you are
looking for.

It seems there's a lot of card processing facilities that act in this
fashion, and i don't like it either. The only conceivable way of getting
this to work that i can think of (being the interchange non-expert that i
am) is to on the Success page that you get returned to, manually insert the
order into the db. This is obviously less than ideal... Maybe someone else
knows of a nicer way to do it?

My first idea was to write a perl LWP wrapper around the entire submission
process, so that the client never has to see the submit, and i can then
merely adapt the Signio payment module - the only problem is that my payment
gateway will ban too many connections from the one IP address - so unless i
proxy it through a whole bunch of anonymizers, i'm kinda out of luck... :/

That is correct. The problem is that you can't put quantities in....

    Is there a column/field in a table to define the html page for IC to

    Oh thank you so much.  I'm been trying to figure out how to grab the search
URL for a while.  None of my searches came up with anything.  I should be
able to grab some split code from some where and then do some figuring.

Thanks again.

Hi to everybody.
I'm new to Interchange and I've my website developed with typo3 . I'm 
trying to implement a shopping area and Interchange is, what I've been 
told, the best. What I'd like to accomplish is, after spent some hours 
over the manuals, to create an event portrait photography catalog, 
where instead of products are pictures and instead of Area sections and 
Categories are groups of Photos of the same event/family. Would it be 
cool to have a log in for each category/group of photos, but that's 
probably too much.
If anybody has done something like that before, I would love to have 
some hints about where to start from and which of the manuals I'd 
better memorize. Also something like: forget about it, kind of answer, 
would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

    I am not sure exactly what you mean, but we didn't have much
database-driven stuff involved, the site actually has ten trillion
interchange template pages.  We use flypage and results but everything above
that is not database driven.  So it was easy to set variables at the top of
the pages to set what the user had been through.  Here's an example:

http://shop.sophee.com/sophee/womanLanding.html

now click on the shaving link near the top.  Click on the first search
results, the "California North" thing.  Notice that the page carried the
women's header forward.  That was because a scratch variable got set when
you hit the womanlanding page.

Now go to:

http://shop.sophee.com/sophee/menLanding.html

and click on shaving there.  Click on the "california north" thing in the
search results.  You will see that the exact same flypage (00169) now has
the men's header.

    But it was relatively easy to do because there is a physical page for
the men's and women's landing pages.

    Oh, you are in luck!!!  While I was writing that stuff above I started
wondering how the sophee site picked up the sidenav which is obviously based
on the presented search results.  Then I realized that I already wrote what
you need:

[if session last_search =~ /products/]
  [seti lastsearch][data session last_search][/seti]
  [perl]
    my @sf;
    my @se;
    my $item;
    my $cnt = 0;
    my $tmpSearch = {};
    my @searchstring = split(/\//,$Scratch->{lastsearch});
    ## build list of sf and se
    foreach $item (@searchstring) {
      if ($item =~ /^sf=(.*)/) {
        push @sf,$1;
      }
      elsif ($item =~ /^se=(.*)/) {
        push @se,$1;
      }
    }
    ## now build our hash of field/term pairs
    foreach $item (@sf) {
      $tmpSearch->{$item} = $se[$cnt];
      $cnt++;
    }
    ## populate needed scratch values
    $Scratch->{lastbrand} = $tmpSearch->{brand};
    $Scratch->{lastmaincat} = $tmpSearch->{maincat};
    $Scratch->{lastsubcat} = $tmpSearch->{subcat};
    return;
  [/perl]
[/if]

    I forgot that I wrote it in a way that I could post it here later, all
you have to do is change those last 3 lines and you will be set.  In those
bottom three lines, the $tmpSearch value would be the name of the search
fields you are looking for and the thing on the left (the $Scratch) would be
the name of whatever scratch variable you want the extracted values stored
in.
    Just put this at the top of your results page.

    Man, I feel great now, contributing and stuff....

Subject: [ic] Total-cost is not equal to discounted price plus tax
Message-ID: <02b601c2beea$6372fc60$0c01a8c0@zaq.ne.jp>

Hi,

I have a problem with calculation of total-cost under discount rate and tax
calculation.

My system is IC 4.8.3.

currency_symbol Yen
frac_digits 0

My problem is Total-cost is not equal to discounted price plus tax.

For example, Subtotal is 25450Yen.
5% Discounted price is 24178Yen. The rounded is fine.
5% Tax is 1209Yen. It is correct too.
So Total-cost should be 24178 + 1209 = 25387Yen.

But, [total-cost] showed 25386 Yen.

[total-cost] may be  25450 * 0.95 * 1.05 = 25386.375, and round is 25386
Yen.


My checkout calculation tags are as follows.

[discount ENTIRE_ORDER][/discount][subtotal]
[discount ENTIRE_ORDER] $s * 0.95[/discount]
[salestax]
[total-cost]

What should I do?

Hello

I have two groups of products, one which can accept COD or other payment
methods, and another group which can only accept all methods but COD.

Is it anyway to force interchange to eliminate COD in the payment methods
list at checkout when one of the items not accepting this kind of payment is
included in the basket?

I suppose it can be done by adding a special prefix to the products SKU,
like A-xxx for products accepting COD and B-xxx for all other products.
Then a script could do it at the checkout page.

Anyway not sure about it, that's why I am asking in case someone had to do
something similar.

Thanks a lot for any clues.

    Just add a field in the products table and then, when on the checkout
page, look through the cart at all of the items and see if the corresponding
row in the product table has the value set.

It would be better to have a "cod_allowed" field in pricing or inventory.

This is a typical need of tying the database to the shopping cart
to test for shipping/pricing alternatives. IC has some facilities
that make it fairly easy to do it.

Add a column to the inventory database (or anywhere you choose) named
"cod_allowed". Set it to 1 if COD is allowed, blank otherwise.

In catalog.cfg:

	AutoModifier  inventory:cod_allowed

(Of course you restart/apply changes, having changed configuration.)

Now there will be a cod_allowed attribute in the shopping cart. At that point,
you can do:

	[calc]
		$Scratch->{allow_cod} = 1;
		foreach my $item (@$Items) {
			next if $item->{cod_allowed};
			$Scratch->{allow_cod} = 0;
			last;
		}
		return;
	[/calc]

Now you can test for your allowed payment methods:

[if scratch allow_cod]
	# ITL you need to enable COD
[/if]

    Oh wow, that is so cool.  I am sure you posted about that at least 20
times in the last year but I never really looked at the auto-modifier stuff.

    I bet not as good as I do.  That was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you very much. You just saved me a ton of time and educated
me a bit more.  Hopefully I'll be able to return something to the list.

By following those links to your site I better understand how you did
things and can appreciate the approach you took with it.  Very good.

and subtract $5 from the total. If the code is incorrect then it should
display an error.

Jon,
thank you for your reply.
I just digested the iccatut, even if not completely assimilated, and 
I'm going through the icfoundation and I think I got the big picture. I 
was thinking about defining one area to be Portrait Photography, or 
something like that, and the different cat table to define family names 
or events like "the Smith's wedding" with all the shots to be the 
single products.
My first problem is how to change not the flypage, which I understand 
is the single product display, but the page that shows all the item in 
one category, to show a list of thumbnails instead of the SKUs. Which 
page should I edit?
And also, what do you suggest me to edit pages? I normally use BBEdit, 
because the application to edit the content doesn't work on my Explorer 
5.2 for Mac.

This is still confusing to me. Where do you suggest me to read to

Thank you again

Subject: [ic] New Authorize.net connection method
Message-ID: <DNEMJFMPNBPIKABMNNEAIEGGDLAA.tom@asherwebdesign.com>

Greetings,

  I have a client who uses Authorize.net as her merchant service for credit
cards.  We recently received an email stating the following:

"In an effort to enhance security surrounding the submission of transaction
information, Authorize.Net has developed a new gateway connection method.
This new method, referred to as Simple Integration Method (SIM), combines
the increased security and robustness of Advanced Integration Method (AIM)
(previously known as ADC Direct Response) with some of the programming ease
of WebLink and Relay Response."

 We are currently using the WebLink method and must convert to the new
method before April 30th.  I am not sure how to change the settings in
Interchange to comply with these new requirements.  Has anyone else made
this conversion?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  My 2 cents, I love having examples. If there is any one thing I would
love to see improved in the existing documentation is to mix up the
examples with variations of usage of options and parameters.

Subject: [ic] affiliates/index.html no worky in UI
Message-ID: <IOEHJBJIDGMNIPMCBCJBEEIKDEAA.paul@gishnetwork.com>

Hi List

Anybody else notice that affiliates/index.html cannot be edited in UI? I
tried in 4.8.3, 4.9.6 and 4.9.7(devgroup demo). On 4.8.3 and 4.9.6 I tried
in IE, and Mozilla. I am on Windows XP.

It seems this block here:

[if !session logged_in]
[or session login_table ne 'affiliate']
        [bounce page="affiliate/login"]
[/if]


causes IC to actually bounce to the page when trying to edit it. Even trying
to [comment] the above block out won't help becuase the content editor
ingnores *most* ITL. I say most becuase I have seen "floating" selectboxes,
and background pages in the content editor, which usualy indicates and
syntax error somewhere on the page, however the above looks fine to me.

If I remove this:
[or session login_table ne 'affiliate']

I CAN then edit the page via ADMIN. This seems like maybe an issue with the
content editor and the [or ...] tag in an [if] block. I tried an [and ...]
also, and no joy.

Can someone tell me where I should be looking to resolve this?

Thanks
Paul

I've just gone live with a site and taken some orders, but in the UI, i'm
finding some weird stuff. Viewing the Pending Orders section shows all the
orders with the appropriate Order number, yet clicking on that order number
brings up the View Order page, but with none of the details filled in! The
order has definately been entered into the Orderline table, and the customer
definately exists in the user table, so what could be causing the View Order
page to break in this manner?

Note: if i bring up the View Customer page, the order numbers associated
with the client are all wrong. I did at one stage change the Last order
number on the administration page (it has TEST in the number), and yeah...
things seem to have gone pear shaped. Any idea where this may be breaking
and what i need to do to fix it?

There is a problem with the [if ...] tag in some situations, and has
been for a long time. I should probably look to fix it considerably
better with a proper parser, but for the moment I have committed a
change to the page editor which solves this situation.

The change that is made will apply to all versions, but there
won't be any 4.9.6-specific fix made. It could be hand-edited
in based on this patch (or the patch might work as is):

522,537d521

Hi Cameron,

If I remember correctly, didn't you build a log_transaction from scratch?
This sounds to me like data is not getting written correctly to the tables.
I say *correctly, becuase you mention that there is data getting written to
these tables. The Order View page does not read from userdb, as you imply
above, it reads the written data that was copied into transactions table.

Try posting your IC version, and a couple records from 'transaction' and
corresponding 'orderline'...

It sounds to me like this is a log_transaction issue. Compare it to a
foundation copy.

I have set up an item with simple options , 3 select widgets, and 1 Text
Entry Widget.

After selecting the options during checkout and placing the order, the
receipt and
the Email does not show the value of the Text Entry, It just shows the
label !!

Whereas, the other options show both label and value.!!!
Looking further in the admin / orders , and the options are shown with
their labels and values intact..!

I have seen through the archive that this has been issue for others in
previous versions, is this a bug, or is there a work-around ???

Thanks.

Hi Schuyler,

I struck a similar problem when I had matrix options & wanted to display 
them in a customised fashion. The only way I could get the accessories 
tag to return anything was if I used the code from the options table 
that correlates to the option values you are wanting to retrieve 
(confused yet? ;)). This code is not the same as the sku in the products 
table, but appears to be generated when you create the options (not sure 
if u can specify this - mabye you can). If you look at the database 
directly, you will see this as a record with the sku field being set to 
the product sku, the o_label field being set to the label you specified 
for the options, and the o_value field being of format 
value=label,value2=label2 etc.

So basically, I ended up using the following ... a bit of a workaround, 
but hey, it works :):

First i retrieved the option code from the db with the query tag (note 
this assumes you have specified & know the label for the options .. if u 
don't i'm sure the code could be retrieved by a modified query):

[perl no_return=1 interpolate=1]

   # retrieve the option code for the options I am wanting[/comment]
   my $results = $Tag->query( { sql => "SELECT code FROM options WHERE 
o_label='Color' AND SKU = '[item-code]'" } );   
   $Scratch->{option_code} = $results->[0]->[0];

[/perl]

If you retrieve the o_value field from the options table using the 
returned code, you get the following format:
R=Red*, O=Orange, Y=Yellow

 From here, depending on what you are trying to do, you can now use the 
accessories tag to acheive what you wish.

e.g.

[accessories
      code="[scratch option_code]"
      table="options"
      field="o_value"
      name="mv_sku"
      js=| onchange="alert('size change');" |
      type=select
]

that would spit out a select box populated by the options & would cause 
a javascript alert onchange. Note: if you use type="show" it seems to 
merely spit out the o_value (R=Red*, O=Orange etc). However, changing 
the type to labels would spit out a newline-delimited list of the option 
labels which sounds like what you're after.

Alternatively if you wanted to be able to display these one at a time 
(allows you to format them how you wish & specify match/no_match code) 
you may just want to use a loop (acclist=1) and use the data tag to 
retrieve the options as the list attribute for the loop. i.e:

[tmp count]1[/tmp]
[loop list=|[data table="options" field="o_value" key="[scratch 
option_code]"]| acclist=1]
   [list]
      <b>Option [scratch count]:</b> [loop-param label]<br>
      [perl no_return=1]$Scratch->{count}++[/perl]
   [/list]
   [no-match]No options![/no-match]
[/loop]

As you can see its nowhere near as pretty as a one-liner accessories tag 
call, but it was the only way I could acheive the results I wanted (or 
manage to get anything out of the tag for that matter :)).

If anyone out there has a better way that works, feel free to enlighten 
us :).

Hope this helps,

Subject: [ic] Authorize.net setup/ more information
References: <20030119170001.29496.99935.Mailman@icdevgroup.org>
Message-ID: <001a01c2c008$4bf34260$0200a8c0@cfl.rr.com>

I have read a few articles on icdevgroup.org about setting up Authorize.net
with IC.  Is there anyone out there that has a working example on writting
the billing vars into the checkout.html?  I use Hot Connect payment gateway
built in to our servers and Authorize.net stuff is new to me.
Here is what I mean, writing this code into the page:

if (($actual{b_address1} eq "") ||
        ($actual{b_zip} eq "")) {

        $actual{b_fname}    = $actual{fname};
        $actual{b_lname}    = $actual{lname};
        $actual{b_company}  = $actual{company};
        $actual{b_address1} = $actual{address1};
        $actual{b_address2} = $actual{address2};
        $actual{b_city}     = $actual{city};
        $actual{b_state}    = $actual{state};
        $actual{b_zip}      = $actual{zip};
        $actual{b_country}  = $actual{country};
    }


    # concatenate the two addresses into one if a second address line exists

    if ($actual{address2} ne "") {
        $actual{address} = "$actual{address1}" . ", " . "$actual{address2}";
    } else {
        $actual{address} = $actual{address1};
    }

    if ($actual{b_address2} ne "") {
        $actual{b_address} = "$actual{b_address1}" . ", " .
"$actual{b_address2}";
    } else {
        $actual{b_address} = $actual{b_address1};
    }


 my %query = (
                    x_Method        => 'CC',
                    x_Type          => $actual{mv_payment_mode},

                    x_ADC_Delim_Data => 'TRUE',
    );
How is this information tagged into the checkout.html page?

Thanks for any help

Subject: [ic] Custom Shipping
Message-ID: <00a701c2c009$570d4000$fd02000a@spider>

Does anyone know how to modfiy shipping for packages?

Currently I have shipping based on quantity eg
1 10 6.95*@@TOTAL@@
11 9999    6.95*@@TOTAL@@ - 1.00

In cases where the product is a self contained package. eg
productB is really a package containing 10 products so quantity is actually
10 and not 1. I do not see anyway to implement this unique product as a
package.

Basically I want productB to have a shipping charge of 69.50 and not 6.95
Does that make sense?
And it does not look like you can modify the shipping.asc directly either.

Thanks a lot both Mike and Jeff.  I have implemented the AutoModifier stuff

Message-ID: <001101c2c00a$9829fe10$420ed8d9@europa>

Hi, I need to specify different shipping methods for different items that
are shipped by different vendors.

Searching through the list archives I found an old post by Michael Lehmkuhl
about the exact same thing and a solution that he tried but did't seem to
work 100%:

------------------ from old post ---------------------

Here is the code that we are calling to generate the shipping dropdown:
###### CODE ord/checkout.html ######
[item-list modular=1]

# Other stuff in here...

[seti currentvendor][item-field vendor][/seti]

<SELECT NAME=mv_shipmode onChange="this.form.submit()" CLASS="styled">
[seti vendormodes][data table=country key='[default country US]'
col=shipmodes][/seti]
[perl]

    my @temparr = split(/[\s,]/,$Scratch->{vendormodes});
    my $currentvendor = $Scratch->{currentvendor};

    # Display only those shipping modes that match the vendor for this
product.
    @temparr = grep { m"^$currentvendor" } @temparr;

    $Scratch->{vendormodes} = join(' ',@temparr);

# Also tried this...
#    $Values->{vendormodes} = join(' ',@temparr);

[/perl]

[shipping
    label=1
    mode='[scratchd vendormodes]'
]
[comment]
# Also tried this...
[shipping
    label=1
    mode='[value vendormodes]'
]
[/comment]
</SELECT>

# Other stuff in here...

[/item-list]
###### CODE ######

-------------------- end old post -------------------

Of course this is done after creating a field at the products database with
the name "vendor" and identifying shipping methods by the vendor prefix:
say we create vendor1 then an UPS shipping name for this vendor would be
vendor1UPS.

The problem is that it only works partially, and all shipping alternatives
show in the dropdown list, including those only reserved for other vendors.

In case Michael is still around here, or anyone who has used this, I would
appreciate some tips about making this work.

Thanks in advance!

We have a Webmin module for Interchange which works fine with 
IC 4.9.5. It also lets you restart (but not stop) the Interchange 
daemon, add the extra variables found in 'additional_fields' into
a new catalogue, and do all the stuff needed for SSL certs. (I'm 
currently looking at adding PGP/GPG functions to it, but it's not
yet clear that they can be totally automated ..)

Up to this point it's only been available to our hosting customers 
to use to make their own catalogues with, but I could make it
available to others if they want it. Find a demo linked from my 
home page at http://www.zolotek.net

Subject: [ic] Ebay auctions and Interchange
Message-ID: <002a01c2c014$41adbfe0$c4010a0a@agentsmith>

First let me say how impressed I am with Interchange.
Second let me apologize if this issue has been addressed earlier and I
didn�t find it in my searches.
Now, to the point.  I want Interchange to manage my auctions on Ebay,
Yahoo etc.  Most importantly I want for my auction customers to be able
to checkout via Interchange.  This will give my website greater
exposure, and give me the opportunity to upsell my customers.  In
addition I want Interchange to manage starting auctions, notifying
winners, collecting money, and shipping goods. What I am envisioning is
integrating the services of Andale or the like into Interchange.   I am
open to suggestion, but I envision items in Interchange with auction
metadata including type of auction, buy it now price, description,
auction schedules etc.  I want Interchange to automatically post the
auctions according to these schedules.  I envision auctions with a link
for the winner to follow which takes them to the Interchange checkout
which will upsell, calculate shipping, handling, and tax.   I want items
to be sold at auction, at the web store, or both.  I don�t care all that
much about paypal since I have a credit merchant account.     I realize
this is a lot to ask, but who knows.
 It seems to me that someone out there must have Perl modules to parse
winning notifications from Ebay and maybe even to post auctions, so it
seems that the work would be in integrating that into Interchange.  I
think that Interchange already has the flexibility to do the rest fairly
easily.
 So, has anyone done this?  Has anyone considered this?  Is anyone even
interested?  Would I be crazy to consider doing it myself?  I have a cs
degree, have built custom shopping carts, and even integrated Mailman
(this mailing list software) with oracle and LDAP, but I do not
understand Interchange well enough to estimate how much work is
involved.  For you consultants out there, how much would it cost to pay
for this?  If I pay for it I would insist that it be returned to the
community.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
 Andy

Another idea is that the page that you get returned to by the payment
gateway writes a file on the server and the checkout process waits with
FAM on that file (see SGI::FAM) and completes the order afterwards.

I've actually been thinking about this a lot lately, and *conceptually* this
is what I've come up with:

1. import all Interchange items as auction items into your auction
management system (I like ChannelAdvisor)
2. have items with an inventory greater than 0 listed on the auction sites
of your choice
3. after an auction purchase is made, the automatic auction email is sent to
the purchaser with a link to the special IC auction page (auction.html)
4. on auction.html, the purchaser enters their auction item number and the
sku of the item they won
5. the customer is then taken to the Your Cart page with the appropriate
item in their cart
6. the customer then has the option to "continue shopping" or "checkout"
7. each day, a fresh items file is imported into ChannelAdvisor and all
currently unlisted items with an inventory greater than 0 are listed at
auction
8. after processing any order, check to see if it was for an auction (the
info could have been set in a table and included in the report email) and
mark that transaction as complete in ChannelAdvisor and leave feedback
9. ChannelAdvisor sends emails to late checkouts and NPBs to deadbeats

This means you would need to:

1. get IC to export items file and (as you said) include auction specific
information in the products.txt info
2. set up the auction.html page to add the sku entered into the cart and
record the auction number
3. set up ChannelAdvisor (or other auction management service) the way you
want it

Now, this is what I've come up with due to my very limited IC skills.  It's
based around being relatively easy to implement.  I'd love to hear about
other possible systems that are smoother and more efficient, or critiques of
this system.

Subject: [ic] A few Interchange queries
Message-ID: <BA5188B3.201%kaiandsally@netspace.net.au>

Hi,

I am in the process of finding out more about Interchange, and after having
played with the demo store for a while I have a couple of queries.

A) Is it possible to build some automation into the order numbering system ?
What I mean by this is that the in the demo store, the order number appears
to be a simple iterator of whatever number code is entered. I want to set
the order number up so that it is a combination of date AND iterator ie at
the start of each day, the order number is set to the current date plus the
number 1 eg the first order today would be "20030120-1" - then this number
is incremented throughout the day until it is reset the next morning eg
20030121-1 tomorrow morning. Is this possible and if so - how can it be
done.

B) The demo system has a number of lookup tables that bear no relevance to
my business eg the freight/shipping lookup tables. Is it possible to remove
or alter these tables and/or create new ones ? Or is the existing table
structure set in stone ?
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance with these queries and I look forward
to your responses.

Regards
Kai Berberich

Just thinking.....

If you just take the user to your "auction" page, and then check out... how
are your transferring the final end of auction price to the page. In your
scenario, they are presented with your cart price and not the cost of item
at end of auction (which may be higher than your cart price).

Also, if you go this far... just have IC create a file of your auction
products (can even be done with criteria as you may want to only out for
auction certain categories of items. Have that executed via cron, then write
a simple perl script to auto FTP the file to your auction house which also
could be run via cron... but then you must think about the logic of your
export query as not to list same item day after day, as most auctions last
more than 24 hours...

Food for thought..

Hmm, it's hard to tell because you did not put the headers for the
fields listed however, one glaring error is the lack of an order_number
in the orderline table.  Your first column listed "101010-1" is the line
item and unique code for that row.  Each successive item in that order
will increment the code by 1, ie: 101010-2, 101010-3 etc..  Interchange
will look at the order_number field to determine which order it is
associated with. (a one-to-many relationship) That order number should
be 101010.  Without a proper order number in the field, nothing will
match up.

What's 1904?

Yep, it's possible.  As is usual with ic, there are many ways to do it. 
You could modify etc/log_transaction and perhaps put in some logic
there.  If it was me, I think I would write a cron job and have it run
at midnight each night and update /etc/order.number with the proper
string. That's a bit risky if you have a busy catalog however.   But if
you did it that way you could do something like echo #COUNTER-1.0\n`date
+%Y%m%d` > /path/order.number

(not tested)

Avoid the hyphen if you can.  The code field in the orderline table will
be the order number seperated by a hyphen and then the line item
number.  It you use a hyphen in your order number, it will make your
queries that much more complicated.

Your best bet is to leave those tables just the way they are.  Otherwise
you may be breaking things and not even know it, then spending days and
days finding the problem.   It is usually ok to add a field to tables
(always add fields to the END of the table and reconfig the catalog
after any updates) and it is definitely ok to create your own tables.  

The table structure is definitely not set in stone, in fact, it can be
just about anything.  But unless you are absolutely certain that
removing a field or table will not have any affect on your catalog, your
best off to leave them in tact.

ok, i've narrowed it down. I've exported the orderline table, and lo and
behold, it's corrupted. Every time a new order is being put in, it's coming
out as if there's an incorrect character following after the text - for the
sake of the exported file, it's supposed to be a tab, but it's coming out
like a CR. you should see the funky patterns that Excel displays this file
in ;) all the old orders in there are fine, it's just the new ones - they're
all broken :(

i've had a look at log_transaction, but it SEEMS ok. everything else is
getting inserted into the appropriate tables in the appropriate fashion, so
i can't understand why it'd be doing this. my immediate thought was along
the lines of "it'll be full of DOS cr/lf's" and that'd be confusing it, but
there really isn't anything to be found anywhere. the code is almost exactly
the same as the code from the foundation cart, all bar the "options:" line
that i took out a while ago for some reason i don't recall - but this exact
same log_transaction file is working fine on another site.

so, yeah, anyone know what might be causing this? i can fix it, by manually
changing the orderline table and then uploading it again, but this obviously
isn't a long term solution... :)

All zip code entries were originally set as follows:

ZIP 35006 Company
SHIP_DEFAULT_ZIP 35006 Shipping

UPS_POSTCODE_FIELD zip Shipping

All zip code entries were originally set as follows:

UPS_ORIGIN 35006 Shipping
ZIP 35006 Company
SHIP_DEFAULT_ZIP 35006 Shipping

UPS_POSTCODE_FIELD zip Shipping
_______________________________________________

Check your products/shipping.asc file for your zip code you should have
something like this for an external www ups style lookup (I'm shipping
from zip 33155 so modify below to suit your requirements):

GNDRES	UPS Ground Shipping Residential	weight	0	0	e
Nothing to ship!		{'origin' => "33155",'ui_ship_type' =>
"UPSE:GNDRES",'table' => "Ground",'zone' => "330",'ups' => "1",'adder'
=> "0.00",'at_least' => "0.00",'PriceDivide' => "1",'geo' => "zip",}
GNDRES	Ground Shipping	weight	0	150	f [ups-query mode=GNDRES
weight="@@TOTAL@@"]		{'PriceDivide' => "1",}
GNDRES	Ground Shipping	weight	150	9999999	e Too heavy - Please
call for Quote		{'PriceDivide' => "1",}

If you are doing an internal lookup try something like this (I just got
my internal working up to 600lbs - another story - hence the 600 values
below):

INTGND	Ground Shipping (US 48 States)	weight	0	0	e
Nothing to ship!		{'ui_ship_type' => "UPSI",'zone' =>
"330",'table' => "Ground",'ups' => "1",'adder' => "0.00",'at_least' =>
"0.00",'PriceDivide' => "1",'geo' => "zip",}
INTGND	Ground Shipping (US 48 States)	weight	0	600	u 330
[Ground zip]
INTGND	Ground Shipping (US 48 States)	weight	601	9999999	e Please
call for Shipping Quote

What you may need to do also is make sure that the zone file (in my case
products/330.zip) exists and contains the zone information for zone
range zips, you could modify the 450.zip with your data, however I
suggest that you download a new set of zip zone data from UPS and create
your zip zone file.

Hope this helps

Gerry

That is nice.. But where are you getting the shipping costs from? One
another note does anyone know where ord/checkout.html is configured to the
store? The checkout.html file I am using in storeid = 'store' is not the one
I see being displayed, the one being displayed is the foundation
checkout.html template.

Subject: [ic] interpolate / reparse inside area tag???
Message-ID: <C59E8B2F5312D5118FAF0002557C231420C4@SITSERV>

I have an odd question regarding interpolating inside an "area" tag.

I'm trying to filter a variable like so (note we have created our own "url"
tag for the filter): [filter op=url interpolate=1][sql-param
category][/filter]. Then I need to parse it inside an "area" href.

I know from reading the documentation that the "area" tag is a standalone
tag and does not interpolate.

So this is a major problem. Not being a Perl Wizard, like a lot of you
cleaver chappies, I cant find anyway of getting the filtered variable into
my URL. I've tried using a scratch variable but is it has the exact same
effect, obviously!!!

Did you try the [page] tag?

We have a Webmin module for Interchange which works fine with
IC 4.9.5. It also lets you restart (but not stop) the Interchange
daemon, add the extra variables found in 'additional_fields' into
a new catalogue, and do all the stuff needed for SSL certs. (I'm
currently looking at adding PGP/GPG functions to it, but it's not
yet clear that they can be totally automated ..)

Up to this point it's only been available to our hosting customers
to use to make their own catalogues with, but I could make it
available to others if they want it. Find a demo linked from my
home page at http://www.zolotek.net

Hi,

I would love to get hold of a copy of your Webmin module. I was
going to attempt to write one myself based on an old version I
found on the Webmin website (4.6.x, I think). Any chance of
emailing a copy or adding it to the Webmin third party modules
site?

Regards !

Very true!  I'm planning on using fixed auction prices with the same price

Does anyone know how to capture the credit_card_number? I am well aware of
that you would not want to do this, but the business practice is to hold the
number for a period of 10 days as it sends its orders to a fullfilment
center. Please contact me directly or post this information. I have gone
through the archives and only found many messages about why you shouldn't do
this. If your only response is going to be why I shouldn't do this, please
don't clog up the group with something we already know.

You can capture them PGP-encrypted for your records, and decrypt them
in the unlikely event you need them. There are multiple sources for this
information -- basically all you need to do is add the PGP/GPG key to
your interchange user's keyring, and put the key ID in the EncryptKey
directive in catalog.cfg (can usually be set with PGP_KEY preference in
UI).

In 4.9.7, I even have set up a "wizard" which will add GPG keys, check
which ones are on your ring, and set it up. Now that I think about it,
I should add a "test your setting" page and will do so.

Yes, I had that same problem, its to due with the fact that the options tag
in interchange will not automatically display values of options that are not
predetermined in the admin interface.  The only way around it, is by using
the [item-modifier (name of option)] tag and using the specific name of the
option, unfortunately it means you need to pre-define each option that your
catalog can use.  But it does work, has anyone else found a way of
automatically displaying all options, including user-defined value options?

I have set up an item with simple options , 3 select widgets, and 1 Text
Entry Widget.

After selecting the options during checkout and placing the order, the
receipt and
the Email does not show the value of the Text Entry, It just shows the
label !!

Whereas, the other options show both label and value.!!!
Looking further in the admin / orders , and the options are shown with
their labels and values intact..!

I have seen through the archive that this has been issue for others in
previous versions, is this a bug, or is there a work-around ???

Thanks.

Hi Interchange Users List

Question: how can i implement the following thing in the Interchange Shop of
a customer

after a User has completed his chart, he checks out and then automatically
there shoud be a shipping tax
of SFR 6.- to be added to the total price, and also there shoud be a
execption (if Statement) if the total prices
is over SFR 200.- (which is shipping free)

I tried this with adding a shipping method, but it doesn't work, the tax
won't be added


Any idea?

thanks in advace for your trouble


kind regards

Elvis Altherr

Yes, I'm happy to make it available. Please note though, that because
it's been through so many patches and revisions (and only intended for 
internal use) the code is now really quite messy. I'll tidy it up and add
proper comments and then release it. (This may take a few days, 
considering the other claims on my time, not to mention my wife 
and child ... )

I think I'll leave the PGP/GPG stuff alone, especially as it is so easy 
to do that by ssh.

sure, you just need to make changes in Order.pm. There is no trivial configuration changes for this as far as I know

It is better to keep the table structure, but you can decide which field(s) is(are) to be used/not used.  shipping is not even stored in sql table, it is in shipping.txt in the product directory.   In 4.9.5 and above, there is a demo for a paid download site, such as software, research reports, downloadable articles, etc, so there is no shipping/freight related caculations. Check out that.

The order didn't go through, even though it forward the page to the

there a workaround for this problem. I've been struggling to resolve this.

Yes, there is. If you set a value in $Session->{mv_order_number}, that
will be used instead of the counter value.

If you are thinking of hacking an Interchange core module, I recommend
you don't do it. There is almost always a better way.

Thanks Jeff, found your post, did something similar to return the color
options I was looking for:
[loop
     search="
      st=text
      co=0
      fi=options
      sf=sku
      se=[item-code]
   sf=o_group
      se=Color
   op=eq
      nu=0
      rf=o_value
     "

Yes, starting with Interchange 4.9.6, Perl 5.6.0 or later is required.

Jon,
thank you very much. You put me on the right track. I've been looking 
in the "Hall of fame" and nothing seems to get close to what I need. 
But I'll have my manuals and I'm making some searches in the mailing

brain work on everything, but I'll be back soon, to beg for more help.

Thank you again.

Subject: [ic] Total-cost is not equal to discounted price plus tax
References: <02b601c2beea$6372fc60$0c01a8c0@zaq.ne.jp>
Message-ID: <056a01c2c114$680bddb0$0c01a8c0@zaq.ne.jp>

I'm still have a problem of [total-cost] calculation.

In case of mine, 5% discount for subtotal, and frac_digits 0,

subtotal is 25450 * 0.95 = 24177.5 , rounded is 24178 Yen. [subtotal] shows
24,178 Yen.
salestax is 24177.5 * 0.05 = 1208.875 , rounded is 1209 Yen. [salestax]
shows 1,209 Yen.

What is [total-cost] calculation?
(A) 24177.5 + 1208.875 = 25386.375, [total-cost] shows 25386 Yen
(B) 24178 + 1209 = 25387

>From assign tag in IC doc below, [total-cost] shows (A). Is it correct?
I think [total-cost] should be 25,387Yen.

Am I wrong?


http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=ictags04%2e04

Important note

salestax
This preempts the salestax calculation. The assigned value is not rounded.

subtotal
This preempts the cart subtotal derived from prices. The assigned value is
not rounded.

Note that you cannot assign to [total-cost] - it will always be the sum of
the four above.

How do I restart IC when it is installed under cpanel

I can't get access to the admin interface to "Apply Changes" after I

__________________________________________________

I've recently been down this path under cpanel and I found that the
quickest and easiest way is to copy your files to another directory the
reinstall IC from scratch (this will give you back your admin) and then
"carefully" move files back.

By carefully I mean check all your file permissions and ownership rights
(on the new install) both before and after the copy, then test, and
retest. (This I found to be the most important aspect and I had to learn
it the hard way).

For some reason when you change the path variables in variable.txt under
cpanel it propagates somewhere else and just fixing variable.txt (even
with a restart) doesn't fix the errors. I couldn't find out where and I
was working on a live site so to me time was the most important factor.

Sorry I can't give you a magic fix - someone else may be able to.

Is there a way I can configure interchange to allow multiple users who can

I have a similar feature. You could add a "owner" filed to your product-db,
and limit the editing based on the user that's currently logged in [tag that
gave the current username was [data session username]). That's field would
be updated with the username when the user adds a new product.

Message-ID: <C59E8B2F5312D5118FAF0002557C231420C8@SITSERV>

Two questions in two days, I think I'm starting to push my luck a little
now!!

Anyway. Here goes. 

I have a results page, from which I read in a variable called [cgi
name=browse_cat], where you can select to re-sort results (in a drop-down
list) by certain criteria such as "Price High-Low, Price Low-High..etc". You
get the idea. Very Amazon-esq.

What I'm hoping to do is have a second drop-down box that lists the
different manufactures together with the number of matches found. E.g.
Stellar (4), Le Creuset (15), All-Clad (19).

To be totally honest with you I have an idea of how it should work in my
mind, but implementing it is another matter all together!!! Has anyone done
anything like this before or come across it somewhere in the mailing lists.
All pointers in the right direction are much appreciated.

For those of you who are interested here is a copy of my first "sort-by"
drop down list.

<form action="[process]" method=post> 
		<input type=hidden name=mv_todo value=return>
		<input type=hidden name=mv_nextpage value=@@MV_PAGE@@>

Subject: [ic] Adding new Product Groups and Categories, and new Menu items
Message-ID: <004301c2c163$c77c4b50$6501a8c0@ci.com>

Thank you all for your dedication to this wonderful software, and making it
possible for us all to afford an online presence.

I have two questions:

(1)  I am building my store from the foundation store.  I added new Product
Groups and Categories which I would like to show on the blue navigation bar,
but only the pre-defined groups and categories are showing.  I then added
new items and placed them in new categories as indicated on the new items
page.  The changes were successful on the products table, but not shown on
the blue products lists section (On the left side of page)

I have not deleted the old categories/products, but added new ones.
Eventually I will delete some of the categories and the initial product
items in the catalogue.

(2) While building on the Foundation Store, can I add additional menus to
the Menu items,  - Currently, --Home, Login, Checkout, etc.  (the new menu
items would point to other pages which I will write in html and upload to
the site)

 Please let me know the best way to accomplish this.  I am a programmer but
I have not used Perl before.  I am good with html and understand general
programming logic, and relational databases like Oracle.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Tina.

You need to add tf=sku or mv_sort_field=sku in your search parameter,
This question has been asked before, have you tried searching the
archives?

How did you create the product groups, Did you go through the design
tab. Make some product groups and categories via the "Design" tab in
the Admin UI.  If you did that already then you probably forgot to
select "all" or "left" or both when it ask you for "page class" and
stuff. Make sure you click all and left so you actually highlight them
and select them.

You could add more menus by editing the template files
LeftOnly, LeftRight, Noleft (i think those are the names)
however, the menus on the foundation use images. so I would recommend
to you to make all new images or simply use text only. otherwise you
will need to edit those .gif files and that usually doesnt out looking
too well. Maybe you can ask the developers for the original raw and
uncut image file so that you can just change the text and export it to
a .gif.
well 
good luck,
tom

There was a string of emails that came out about a month ago. between
12/26/02 and 12/30/02 that recommended some POS systems. The title of
the thread was "Brick and Mortar POS" Thats the only thing I can recall
about anyone ever talking about POS systems.

Hope that helps,

I can help if I am understanding your question properly, However, a
"step by step walk through"... you would need to hire someone for that
because they would be devoting much time to walk you through it or to
type it out. 
anyways all you really need to do is to add
tf=price
to=r,n
to the code your search builder generates in order to sort by highest
price first. if you are confused with using the code the builder
generates then add this after the code is generated.

if you want to sort by prod_group simply add this
tf=prod_group 

FYI. tf stands for "sorT Field"

Good Luck 
Tom

If you are using the simple search for the links which list those items, I 
believe you'll need to make a little modification to the bar_link globalsub 
located in VENDROOT/catalog_before.cfg. You'll want to add 'tf=sku' to the 
search parameters which are assembled by the globalsub.

Could you use the check out process to sign up users who would then put
products on the interchange site through the above process? So instead of
the current log in there would be a second more in depth log in where you
could even charge them via a check out process?

Yes.

You are asking Interchange to _display_ costs rounded, not to calculate
rounded costs.

If you did the equivalent in a spreadsheet, displaying to zero decimal
places, it would behave just like Interchange.

Subject: [ic] need help optimizing-process product data and export to tab delim file
Message-ID: <002701c2c18f$85da3730$ab7ba8c0@abhlaptop>

Good Day to All...

I am trying to export my products into a tab-delim
text file for another database to use, however, there
is a limited amount of processing to be done and 
changes that need to be made first.  I could not
figure out how to do the processing with any of the
[export] type things done in the UI, so I struck out
with the following:

[tmp done][log file="[time]%Y%m%d[/time].txt"
		create=1
		delim="\t"
		type="text"
		interpolate=1
][query sql="SELECT sku, title, comment, image, price, prod_group
		FROM products
		ORDER BY sku;"
type=list][list]http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/site.cgi/[sql-param
sku].html	[sql-param title]	[filter striphtml][sql-param
comment][/filter]	[sql-param price]	[either][sql-param
image][or]na.jpg[/either]	[sql-param prod_group]	[sql-param sku]
[/list][/query][/log][/tmp]

This is probably a mess, but it works.  The problem is
that if I go much over 1 or 2 thousand it dies (no error
in IC, but "500 Internal Server Error" to browser after 
approx 8 minutes of 99% load on server).  This
products database has almost 50,000 records.

Anything I can do about this?

TIA

I always prefer metal POS systems.  Brick and Mortar POS systems require
skilled builders to install, and are difficult to keep clean. :-)

> That is nice.. But where are you getting the shipping costs from? One

I have created different shipping methods for each "vendor".

Anyway I have already tried several different ways to do this I want but to
no avail.

My idea is as follows:

- You create an additional field at the products database.  Let us call it
"vendor" (or whatever you like).  In this field you indicate, for each
product, a code that will identify the shipping methods available for it.
In my case I set this code to 00 or 01 depending on the products.

- Now you create shipping methods for each code.  The idea is that you can
create several methods for each.

- Then at checkout.html, items in an order are grouped depending on their
"vendor" field.  I think this could be done by something like [seti
currentvendor][item-field vendor][/seti].

-  But then, and this is what I have not been able to achieve, a shipping
options dropdown list should appear for each product, showing only valid
shipping methods for the related vendor.  The original idea obtained from an
old post from Michael Lehmkuhl is as follows:

<SELECT NAME=mv_shipmode onChange="this.form.submit()" CLASS="styled">
[seti vendormodes][data table=country key='[default country US]'
col=shipmodes][/seti]
[perl]

    my @temparr = split(/[\s,]/,$Scratch->{vendormodes});
    my $currentvendor = $Scratch->{currentvendor};

    # Display only those shipping modes that match the vendor for this
product.
    @temparr = grep { m"^$currentvendor" } @temparr;

    $Scratch->{vendormodes} = join(' ',@temparr);

[/perl]

[shipping
    label=1
    mode='[scratch vendormodes]'
]
</SELECT>

But unfortunately it does not work.  Further, I believe he got this running,
as it can be seen at https://www.hoopstore.net/store, but unfortunately he
seems not to be here anymore to explain how he didi it.

I have also found an alternative as follows.  The only limitation is that
you can only define a single shipping method for each product:

- Create a new field in the products database as in the former example.
Here we will call it "ship".  You will also insert a shipping code here for
each product.

- Then create a shipping methos for each code.  Say you have codes 00 and
01, so you could create shipping methods UPS00 and FEDEX01.

- Now create the following user tag in catalog.cfg:

UserTag delivery-charge Routine <<EOR
sub {
	my $mv_shipmode = $::Values->{mv_shipmode};
	my $items = $Vend::Items;
	my $delivery_charges = 0;
	my $opt = { convert => 1, noformat => 1 };
	my %carts;

	# iterate over the cart, watch the sun rise :)

	foreach my $i (0 .. $#$Vend::Items) {

		# decode cart item into components

		my $code = $Vend::Items->[$i]{code};
		my $mv_ib = $Vend::Items->[$i]{mv_ib};

		# get shipping class of product

		my $db = Vend::Data::database_exists_ref($mv_ib);
		$db = $db->ref();

		return "no such sku $code" unless $db->record_exists($code);
		my $ship = $db->field($code, "ship");

		# create cart for each shipping class

		push @{$carts{$ship}}, $Vend::Items->[$i];
	}

	# calculate shipping for each cart ...
	foreach my $c (keys %carts) {
		$Vend::Items = $carts{$c}; # set shopping cart to this subset of items
		my $delivery = Vend::Interpolate::tag_shipping($mv_shipmode . $c,
$opt);
		$delivery_charges += $delivery;
	}

        # restore original shipping cart
	$Vend::Items = $items;

	return $delivery_charges;
}
EOR


- And finally insert this tag [delivery-charge] wherever you want to see the
shipping charges for a product.

This is a very good idea that I have found in an old post from Guido Sohne.
Unfortunately it is only good if you only have a shipping method for each
ship code.

If anyone could help in doing this letting the customer choose among
shipping methods available for a ship code, it would be much appreciated.
Sure it can be done as seen in hoopstore.

You must edit the checkout.html at
~interchange/catalogs/YOUR_CATALOG/pages/ord/checkout.html

That is the one you will see from the UI.

Subject: [ic] CC Authorize now, settle later
Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.1.20030121183519.02713d60@mail.thebackpacker.com>

I am using the BoA payment module in 4.8.6.  I am also using a fulfillment 
company to handle the stocking and shipping of products.  For this reason, 
I don't want to complete the credit card sale until after the item is 
shipped (in case the item is currently out of stock).  Looking through the 
BoA module, I see the "sale" transaction requires two requests to complete.

My question is, what is the best way to authorize the credit card and then 
settle the transaction after the item is shipped?  If an item is currently 
out of stock and is not included in the shipment, is there an easy way for 
me to adjust the final sale price after it has already been authorized?

Message-ID: <HAEFLHGFFHCKLMHGBFJMAEPGCAAA.interchange@hertell.com>

Hi,

I have a date-widget in a non-adminUI table-editor-page that I would need to
check against a date-field in an other table. The field I need to check has
to be between 1 and 3 days before the date that exists in an other table.

What I understood from the docs there is only one way to check a field, and
that is by the check.field=required method, but this just checks if there is
a value or not

I could probably manage to create the check routine in Perl, but for the
moment I don't know to execute that and return to the edit-tag with an error
message.

Any help is appreciated,

Regardss, Rene

Yes, this is completely customizable. Just add more columns to your
pricing table as necessary and then re-start IC. That should
automatically add more entry fields when you click on QTY Pricing in the
Items Menu in the UI.

Assuming you are talking about the UI, the image share directory didn't
get copied over to the right place, that is all.

If you go back to 4.9.7 and then copy the files from ICDIR/share/interchange
to your DOCROOT/interchange directory, all should be well.

I restarted interchange and Applied Changes from the admin screen to be

Now a different user wants to run a catalog.. what's the best way to

have a perl programmer available to help me customize IC, but first I need
to understand the structure of IC, what many of the UI components are
about, figure out why my import didn't seem to work, etc.

I am looking for a tutor to whom I could direct specific questions that I
have, either by email or phone.  If anyone is interested in helping me
out, please let me know your interchange experience and what you would
charge.

Thanks very much.
Pat

I just did this same sort of thing with Authorize.net and it
was actually pretty simple to implement.

The simplest way is to upgrade IC, as this feature is implemented
in the latest version.  If, on the other hand, you must stay with
the old version for the time being, as I had to, you can do the
following:

You need some way of passing the transaction type to 
the [charge] tag called in the etc/profiles.order.  in that way
you can specify which type of transaction you want.  in my
case, I modified the admin/order_status page to include 
a void feature as well as capture for follow-up use.  

But you must keep in mind that some items if backordered,
may go over 30 days in which case you will need to have 
it set up for a new auth and capture.  also, you have to 
modify your transactions table to hold your auth number, 
and transaction numbers.  I also added some 'captured', 
'voided', and 'credited' fields which are handy.

Im not sure on BOA, but I think that most of the time
you cannot do this.  You must void the first transaction
and just enter a new one if the price changes at all.

It sounds as though Interchange is not actually running.
as root run:
/sbin/service interchange restart

then as the interchange user (user you installed interchange catalogs with)
run:
/usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange

or if you installed it under "/usr/local/"
run:
/usr/local/interchange/bin/interchange

    With boa, it can be adjusted in the boa backend but the default IC 4.8
backend doesn't have a canned way that I am aware of (aside from the table
editor) to adjust the final sale price.

Subject: [ic] Problem: IC wont use Net::SMTP
Message-ID: <000e01c2c267$26c4d8d0$0564a8c0@2530mhz>

Hello! 

I have this problem: 

1. I installed Interchange on a HPUX which runs fine with sendmail 
2. I want to use an external mailserver for email procession 
3. I installed LIBNET (NET::SMTP) and set the following paramenters: 

interchange.cfg: 
Variable MV_SMTPHOST mail.mailserversdomain.net 

catalog.cfg: 
SendMailProgram Net::SMTP 

But every time I make an order my customers email address doesn't get
any receipt and the hole email is listed in error.log with a "Unable to
send mail using Net::SMTP" 

Do you have any ideas? 

Thanks in advance.

I don't know why this happened, but all of a sudden my checkout is
screwed up. When a user enters his credit card number and clicks the
process order button, it just returns to the checkout page with the
credit card info missing. I haven't done anything recently to the
checkout pages. In fact, I even replaced basket.html and checkout.html
with old versions I know worked. Any ideas what could cause this? I
don't even know where to begin. Thanks. I'm using a default catalog.

It seems like it is having issues with trying to find the order profile
'credit_card' which should be in etc/profiles.order and named   credit_card

But I am just guessing, as the error message is very vague...  ;-)

Change SHIP_DEFAULT_COUNTRY in the variable table to CA. You can edit this
table in the UI table editor at the bottom of the page.

I have been using Hot Connect (http://hotconnect.net) for about 6-7 months
now.  The integration is totally built to use with IC.  Fees are resonable,
depending on how you want it setup, virtual terminal, wireless, payment
gateway...  The company works with Global Payment Solutions and their system
works awesome.

Well I did just that, copied what I could to another
directory and then executed the script to reinstall a
fresh catalog under cpanel. (First I tried tech
support restarted the server but it didn't work)  But
now after "creating a new" catalog it's giving me the
following error:

Undefined catalog: /~homeuser/cgi-bin/cart.cgi

which I suspect means a file permission problem.  But
when I ssh into the box it does not show new catalog
files.  The old ones are still there.  Do I have to
blow out all the old catalog files for the new install
to work under cpanel?  All the file permissions under
the catalog are:

homeuser    cpanel
homeuser    cpanal

Is that OK, any help? Thanks.  Does someone know and
interchange ISP that doesn't use cpanel and is fast
and cheap? (Asking too much?):o\

I should have mentioned that too, yes delete all the old files after you
have the copy, you may also find that you need tech support to
completely empty your trash as well, some of the permission on original
files may not erase from trash.

Dear List,

I am trying to find the process.html page or it's simply the page that is
the receipt page after you order.

Is this actually  called receipt.html or process.html?

Where is it located? so I can edit it.

Thanks

process.html is not actually a file at all.

view source of the preceeding page for this information
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="ord/checkout">

in this case the page that gets generated is based on checkout.html and you
can modify this page in the admin

I second that. Sometimes documentation is so extensive that
it obfuscates how to do things in the most common situations. 

To see my point, do a 'man ping'. If the manpage would have a single
example, for most common use the whole reference wouldn't even be
needed. In fact I more frequently find the 'real' answer to questions by
searching usenet than by reading the manual.

Surely there is an art to reading manpages, but I'd choose a good
explanation with a set of examples over just the specification anytime.

Subject: [ic] "Select a Brand" drop down, nearly there!!!
Message-ID: <C59E8B2F5312D5118FAF0002557C231420CD@SITSERV>

I'm having trouble in figuring out why my drop-down menu select is not
working.

Briefly, I have a results page in which I have two drop down menus. One for
"Sort By", which works fine. The Other a "Select a Brand" list which shows
the matching brands, with a match count, allowing a user to narrow down the
results to the selected brand. I have managed to get most of it to work
except for the importing part. When you goto to select your brand nothing
happens. The results are the same. 

I know the answer is something simple. Usally when I post something to the
list the answer is something silly like a missing quote or something. Please
help!

Heres the relevent code:

      <form action="[process]" method=post>
        <input type=hidden name=mv_todo value=return>
        <input type=hidden name=mv_nextpage value=@@MV_PAGE@@>

            <option value="[sql-param manufacturer]" [selected
name=select_brand]> [sql-param manufacturer] ([sql-param man_count])

Could I do this for only allowing a shipping method in case COD is selected
as payment method?

The problem here is that COD is only compatible with normal shipping with
the post office (well, the truth is that it is with other shipping methods,
but at a higher rate, thus I would rather disallow it with those shipping
methods).

Now I guess this tag in particular could also be applied to shipping by
doing something like

[if scratch allow_cod]
# allow only Standard Post Office shipping
[else]
# allow all shipping method for that destination
[/else]
[/if]

However I do not really see where to apply it.  If it is done in the html
for the shipping methods menu (checkout.html), the only effect is just not
displaying it.  Any clues, or something like this cannot be used for
shipping?

This looks like Interchange may be trying to access the root directory
as it's own. Double check the /etc/passwd file and make sure that the
interchange user (typically interch) is NOT trying to use the /root/
directory as it's home. It would be much better to have as it's home
directory /var/lib/interchange  (on a redhat system installed with
rpm's).

Hi guys, here's a weird one. First time i try to log into the affiliates
section on my site, it dies with this:

203.220.102.120 6aJUsMfN:203.220.102.120 - [23/January/2003:10:08:50 -0500]
cart /cgi-bin/cart/process Denied attempted login for user name ''; must
have at least 2 characters

But the SECOND time, it works, with this:

203.220.102.120 6aJUsMfN:203.220.102.120 - [23/January/2003:10:09:44 -0500]
cart /cgi-bin/cart/process Successful login by user 'consolidated'

And that's it. The two pages generated to login from are *PRECISELY* the
same, all bar the "Invalid user name or password." message. So. Anyone seen
this sort of thing before? It's not the end of the world - i can,
technically, get in - but boy it's going to annoy the affiliates.

I have taken a look to see if that was the problem.  Turns out that the
interch home folder is /var/lib/interchange.  There is a .gnupg folder
created when I imported the key for my mail account.

Any other place that Interchange might be configured to try to runas root
or a place where a default home folder might be set?

Hi,


we had severe problems displaying the VAT correctly on our flypage,
the result being ALWAYS wrong.

Background information: With the constant changes in the legal
settings here in Germany, there appear to be requirements to
at least be able (afaik: MUST) show an item price net, the
vat amount, and both added together (don't ask me why 8-( ).
The legal rules on which to display, when, and what not to
display seem to change on an almost weekly basis, but in order
to avoid legal hassle, one has do adjust (or take the shop down).

Anyway, we originally wanted to show "nicely" formatted prices
in Euro according to our local tastes:

Locale          de_DE@euro
Locale          de_DE mon_decimal_point   ,
Locale          de_DE mon_thousands_sep   .
Locale          de_DE p_cs_precedes       0
Locale          de_DE currency_symbol     " &euro;"

Unfortunately, this badly breaks [calc] and [currency] which are
somehow evaluating their expressions as _strings_ in Perl, much
like eval "stuff_inside_cal" (I didn't make too large inrods into
Vend/Interpolate.pm to be 100% sure, though).

With the settings above, you can say:

[calc][item-price noformat][/calc] and get the part of the price
that's _after_ the decimal point (really a comma), apparently
since this is the last part of a Perl expression:
[perl] 2, 3 [/perl] yields 3.

The workaround was to forcefully reset all locale settings to C,
but unfortunately the catalog required forcing decimal points
and such, too, before it would obey:

Locale           C
Locale           C currency_symbol     " &euro;"
Locale           C mon_decimal_point   .
Locale           C frac_digits	       2

which makes for a less-localized experience, but at least solved
the numerical problems :-|

It would be nice if someone in the know could take a look at this
and suggest a solution, or a good place to start hacking. Thank
you!

This test was conducted with 4.9.6-something.


Side question: Is it sensible to run 4.9.7 in production already?

If you currently have Apache 1.3 then you must consider whether
Apache 2 has any features you need that are not available in 1.3.
If this is the case then make the switch, otherwise you may as well
stick with what you have.

There will come a point when 1.3 is far too old and unsupported to
be viable, at which time an upgrade to Apache 2 would be strongly
recommended.  In my opinion, that time is not now.

I'm still using Apache 1.3, by the way.  I suggest you study the
documentation on the Apache website and match your requirements against
the available versions before you make your decision.

This is going to be fixed in 4.9.7 today -- I am taking on this
locale thing so that we don't have problems in 5.0. The problem is that
a persistent setlocale() call is being done when it should not be;
I will change this.

If it isn't too critical. There is one major change to the output model,
but I haven't seen any reports of it causing problems so far.

You could put [if scratch allow_cod] somewhere in the cost or criterion

    It depends on what your site flow is.  You could set the mv_nextpage for
the account page to be that of a "thanks for signing up" splash page.  Look
at the Save Acct. Info  code block and change the "customerservice" to
"thanks" and then make a thanks.html page.

This should solve just about every problem related to decimal point

It nice now their is an actual section to input tracking numbers. My company ships UPS and Fedex. The problem is in the demo when you put in a tracking number it defaults to a UPS link.

I would imagine it could be something in this code in check_orders

Subject: [ic] mv_order_fly not generating expected results
Message-ID: <000601c2c31d$49517be0$ab7ba8c0@abhlaptop>

I have read and re-read the docs on this and tried
several different ways of input, but am getting various
results with each method.  Here's the breakdown into 
3 questions:

1. if using a URL like this:
  [area href="process" form="
	mv_todo=refresh
	mv_nextpage=admin/entry
	mv_order_item=122
	mv_order_fly=description=some test item|price=100.01
  "]
you get what you would expect, and description shows,
but with this error in the logs:

  process Bad data selector='mv_fly' field='gift_cert' key='122'

where is gift_cert coming from?? and what does this mean?

2. if using <input>'s like this:
  <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="">
  <input type=hidden name=mv_order_fly value="description=[cgi iddesc]">
  <input type=hidden name=mv_order_fly value="price=[cgi idprice]">

you have to enter the text input for price, refresh the page, and then
fill in the mv_order_item for it to add the item.  Otherwise, you have
no price.  Also, the description does *not* show up, even if you do 
refresh the page.  After refreshing the page, and entering the fake
sku, the item will be added at the price you input, but also with
an error *like above* about the "gift_cert field"

isn't there some way to use text inputs, and add the item on the
fly without the extra page refresh?  I tried some mv_click type
options but was unsuccessful??

3. If you use a one-line hidden input (which is in the docs) like
this:
  <input type=hidden name=mv_order_fly value="description=[cgi
iddesc]|price=[cgi idprice]">
it just does not work for me.  No item is added, even if you
do a page refresh to update the variables first.  Also I get a
different error in the logs:

  process.html Attempt to order missing product code: onelineinput

where "onelineinput" was the fake sku I tried to enter.

So, if I want to have a sku, price, and description, the only
answer seems to be a link, but the preferred way of entry is
to use text inputs.

Am I missing something? or is this just weird?

(from a drop-down list) to display random sku's from.

Has anyone done this, and would you share your work? I've looked at the
cross component in hopes of modifying it to suit, but I don't have the
programming skills to do it.

Thanks,

All of our company's Fedex tracking numbers start with 155 (and UPS obviously
doesn't). I'm not sure if that is a standard prefix for Fedex Ground, since
we only ship ground, or if that is just a company specific prefix. Maybe
someone that ships a lot with Fedex will know? I've put the relevant section
of code that we're using which creates a tracking link automatically
whether or not it is a UPS or Fedex number below. We are currently using it
in a 4.8.6 catalog and I see from the CVS log that Mike modified the
check_orders.html page in revision 2.1 to work a little differently but
the same method should be easily adaptable (it looks like the status field
in the hash has been replaced by tracking):


if($hash{status} =~ /\d/) {
         my @ids = grep /\S/, split /\s+/, $hash{status};
         $hash{status} = '';
         for(@ids) {
                 if ($_ =~ /^155/) {  # Check if FED EX number (starts with 
155)
                         $hash{status} .= <<EOF;
<A 
HREF="http://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/tracking?tracknumbers=$_&action=track">FED 
EX $_</A>
EOF
                 }
                 else  {  # UPS number or other
                         $hash{status} .= <<EOF;
<A 
HREF="http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking.cgi?InquiryNumber1=$_&TypeOfInquiryNumber=T">UPS

EOF
                 }
         }
}
else {
         $hash{status} = <<EOF;
<A HREF="$hash{detail_url}">$hash{status}</A>
EOF
}

yuck. Ok, thanks for the well-meant advice, but yes, I know at least
one desirable feature in 2.0 that isn't in 1.3, and not doable there
as well. OTOH a web server has to be stable and secure, and since
2.0 appears to be largely unproven yet, I'm a bit hesitant. The
question is if the associated risks are worth it. If anyone could
say that his/her sizable and numerous installations have much
improved by switchin (and why and how), that would be a plus for 2.0.

Ok, so you say that currently sticking with 1.3 is the better option
for you.

Paper won't blink, even if you write down the most blatant lies.
Of course, the Apache developers think that Apache 2.0 is much
better than 1.3, but I also know some people who think rather
different. I'm "in the middle", so to say...

I'd like to expand on Terry's question, as my client also has weird yet

of this kind of a setup and if it is feasible with interchange?

Ok, not only do we have various qty items, such as 125/pack, 500/roll
and so on, but also quite a few sets of price break ranges (ex. 1-10 @
1.50, 11-19 @ 1.45, 12&up @ 1.25).  We have on the order of 70-80 unique
sets of price break ranges and probably 10-20 quantities (maybe more),
all in various combinations for 50,000 or so products.  

So, has anybody done anything similar with interchange?  What was your
overall experience?

Any insight provided is greatly appreciated.

Yes, this is completely customizable. Just add more columns to your
pricing table as necessary and then re-start IC. That should
automatically add more entry fields when you click on QTY Pricing in the
Items Menu in the UI.

Here is a snip of our pricing file:
sku	price_group	q1	q2	q3	q4	q5	q6	q10	q12	q15	q24	q25	q36	q48	q50	q72	q100
q144	q250	w2	w5	w10	w25	w100
sku12	ABUXX	2.66	2.66	2.66	2.66	2.66	2.66	2.66	2.4	2.4	2.4	2.4	1.99	1.99
1.99	1.99	1.99	1.99	1.99

This is based on the standard foundation pricing file, with a few more
discounts. You need to keep in mind that if someone orders one of the breaks
like q10, and you don't have a quantity break for that particular sku, you
have to set a value in this spot. It could be higher, or lower than the
adjacent price breaks depending on your price struture for broken
cases/boxes, etc. We just fill in the values with the previous break prices
until then next break price is met for that particular item.

I also maintain a pricegroupdiscount database that populates these values
based on predetermined discounts, per price_group. This is done outside
interchange, and hooks into the customers back end inventory & price system.

We haven't implemented wholesale price structures yet.

I have found this to be a very flexible structure.

As a prover, I have now served in excess of 20,000,000 pages with
Apache 2.0, including a couple of million of those being IC pages.
And that is in less than 2 months time.

So I think it isn't terrible, anyway. My guess is that you would
survive. 8-)

You can, with the CommonAdjust usage, create a Perl routine that does 
any type of custom pricing you feel in necessary...  It just requires 
the coding...

how about something like this in shipping.asc:

STD	Standard	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	0	e Nothing to
Ship!		{'PriceDivide' => "1",}
STD	Standard	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	200	f [subtotal
noformat=1]*.6		{'PriceDivide' => "1",}
STD	Standard	[subtotal noformat=1]	200	9999	f 0.00		{ free => 'Free!' }

Of course this will not give you FREE SHIPPING as an option...but you
didn't specify that ;P

Good Luck.

Message-ID: <000001c2c334$80e60870$2a00a8c0@frankmaestas>

Hello,
I too am having this same problem. I went from 4.8.6 to 4.9.5 now cannot add
items to any catalogs.

I read in a previous post to "add a new column to table mv_metadata, the
column should be named 'extended'.

How is this done?  I found the mv_metadata table but am not sure of the
steps and syntax to add a column.  My only workaround so far is to use
"phpMyAdmin" to access the products table and add my new item from there.

Thanks!

Provided I understand your question correctly, what I would do is: write
a user-tag that generates this drop-down box. In sparse pseudo:

sub{
	my $ret = '';
	@results = query("SELECT manufacturer, COUNT(*) AS count FROM
		products GROUP BY manufacturer");
	foreach (@results){
		$ret .= "<option value ... $manufaturer($count)>\n";
	}
	return $ret;
}

In any case, I would try to conserve your database access and make it do
all the grunt work for you. I am making a large assumption that you are
using MySQL, but that should align with the assumption that your head is
screwed on straight ;P.

Good Luck.

Well, I figured out my problem. Can anyone tell me the correct way to do
this? I was trying to correct the error in the foundaton checkout form
where the shipping doesn't show for a user with no account. I was trying
to require an account, so I added a [if session logged_in] right before
the checkout forms.(I'm doing this from memory, not actual code so it
may be off a bit) For some reason this screwed up my checkout. Can
anyone tell me why?

    Here is something Mike Heins developed for us that should do exactly
what you are looking for:

A mere 717,000 pages for me, all served by IC over the last 6 months on 
Apache 2.0.

    It seems with IC there is always a way and I came
up with something that seems to work.

    I modified new_account.html to require an email
address. Then with success the next page becomes
welcome_new_customer.html.  This file basically
generates an email to the new user and then bounces
them to the account page.  Of course you could
bounce them anywhere such as a welcome
splash page as some one else has suggested; good idea.

    I may be way off on what you're asking.  Are you wanting to limit the number

of items displayed on a page ?  Your top link provides a whole lot more then
10 products in total or per page. So I'm a bit confused... maybe other aren't.
Assuming you're trying to limit the number of products displayed per page
then you need to use the complex versus simple search function in the cat
and/or area table for each record.  With the complex search you'll be able
to set your matchlimit (ml) to whatever you like.  For example

http://www.drinkandshrinknow.com/cgi-bin/sam/scan/ml=10/fi=products/st=db/co=yes/s

f=category/se=Skin%20Care/va=banner_image=/va=banner_text=.html

Hope that is at all useful.

Message-ID: <002901c2c36b$429c1f00$0cc0a8c0@invincible.net>

Dear Group,

I currently have two eCommerce systems created using Interchange undergoing
testing and it won't be long before I'm going to need to move onto the next
stages of testing.  I am thinking of using PROTX for payment processing and
although I've seen one or two posts referring to various different modules
being in development, haven't actually seen one saying that someone has it
working.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has managed to successfully get PROTX
integrated with Interchange and, if so, in which mode.  If a module doesn't
currently exist, could someone please provide me with the costs of writing
one?

Many thanks.

Regards, Ade.

Hi guys

OK, first off let me say I don't buy into the whole salutation thing, but my
sister has a travel&tour company, and her clients can get very disjointed if
you address them incorrectly. Most are > 65 so they are used to a more
traditional level of interaction, not that there is anything wrong with
that. Since it is > 65 there are alot of separate last names too.

That said, I have no choice but to adhere. The below pseudo iteration
figures out if the spouse has a different last name is a doctor, then if the
client himself is a doctor, if their not and still have different last
names, if they have same last names, and so on and on.

This is all fine and dandy for like say a flypage, or a short list. However
she needs to generate 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 clients list for mailing (snail
mail) on a regular basis. Looping through the below 20,000 times for an
output file is not going to be pretty. (and this is just for the name, not
the address)

----------------------------------PSEUDO

[if-loop-param spouse_lname]
	<!-- if spouse has different last name -->
  [if-loop-param spouse_salutation eq 'Dr.']

------------------------------------------------------------------------

column names have been changed for readability.

What are my options? There is [loop-sub routine], but still this is way too
much even for that. I was thinking of possibly having an additional column
called "greeting" then use the above like a tool somehow and have it run
through a database and copy the result into that rows "greeting" column.
Then every time someone(we) edits, or adds, it can run it through the above,
and into the greeting column. So, it would require me to run the above ONCE
on the entire table of 20,000, then (on)EACH time a userdb record is edited,
or added (which individually is not too big a deal).

I have been thinking about this all week, and that seems to be my only real
option. The question is, is that possible? Would this be something to be
done in perl, and have it "go over" userdb once after/during I upload it the
first time?

Am I correct in any of this? Is this the direction to go with this?

TIA

Paul

Yes -- having a salutation field is the way to go IMHO.  If your db 
supports it, write a function that updates the salutation on every 
update/commit to related records.  Since we use PostgreSQL, we do this a 
lot using PL/pgSQL and it works like a charm.

Hi Ade,

I am currently (just started )writing a Protx module. We could pool our

ok, thank you (also to Dan Browning!). NB: You also haven't been

Ok. Of course, using a bunch of new-fangled mod_something_weird
is what I'm after. If it's not broke, fix it... ;-)

But serving 20 million pages with no problems (assumed) is a good
start.

Thank you!

Hi to both

I will also have the need to use Protx within the next month, so I am
more than happy to chip in. I guess you will want to use their 
"direct" method (ie, keep it all on your own server).

I did the upgrade to 4.9.7 to use the Settle Transaction feature.  I have 
authorized an order and that goes well.  But when I try to settle the 
transaction through the order view, I get the following error:

mv_credit_card_valid: Invalid transaction type ""

Any ideas?

I am not sure the IC BoA module supports post-auth. Assuming BoA does
itself, you would have to find out what the transaction type is and
make sure the Vend::Payment::BoA module uses the right transaction
type and passes all of the info properly.

Thank you so much Tom.  I have contacted my hosting company, they currently
do not have the tool for me to restart Interchange, and I don't think I
would be able to wait for them to restart it for me everytime I need to.  I
really love to use Interchange and I have been happy with my hosting company
until now.  They also have another shopping cart called Agora.cgi, I am
looking at this in the meantime to see if it would serve my purpose, which

You're right. Change your host to someone that takes Interchange seriously.

It sounds as though Interchange is not actually running.
as root run:
/sbin/service interchange restart

then as the interchange user (user you installed interchange catalogs
with)
run:
/usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange

or if you installed it under "/usr/local/"
run:
/usr/local/interchange/bin/interchange

I've never seen that error before but make sure the permissions on the
link file is correct. It should be owned by your interchange user then
chmod 755 and chmod u+s. Also make sure your web server is set up to
correctly run cgi programs. That output looks almost like the browser
is actually displaying the C cgi program instead of running it (that
error text is in the link program of course). Maybe try the perl one
instead if you still can't get it to work. If your cgi is set up
correctly make sure you're using the right link program (vlink or
tlink depending on which mode interchange is running in). Hope this
helps,

Subject: [ic] potential problem with shipping tag implementation on Foundation checkout page
Message-ID: <004001c2c3ce$7b95f660$0a01000a@badtzmaru.com>

    I have noticed what I think may be a small issue with the way most
people will implement the shipping tag and the way it is implemented on the
Foundation checkout page.  I don't recall having seen this mentioned in here
before.  The standard foundation checkout page uses [shipping] to display
the shipping amount.  The shipping tag knows which shipping mode to display
the price for by using this logic (from docs):

[value mv_handling] if handling=1 or [value mv_shipmode] or 'default'

    The issue occurs when someone changes their country on the checkout
page.  At that point, the page reloads.  The select box for the shipmodes is
now potentially loaded with a new set of values (depending on the shipping
modes you offer).  If the cost of the first shipping mode now shown in the
select box is not the same as the cost of the first shipping mode that was
shown previously, the shipping amount shown at the top of the page will be
wrong.  This is because mv_shipmode didn't change when the form was
reposted, so the shipping tag is still using the previous value for the
calculation.

I did all you asked, still same error message.

A pid trace on interchange shows below:

select(16, [6 7 8], NULL, NULL, {3, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL)                              = 1043431723
open("/usr/local/interchange/etc",

fcntl64(2, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)         = 0
getdents64(0x2, 0x97fa538, 0x1000, 0x4) = 360
getdents64(0x2, 0x97fa538, 0x1000, 0x4) = 0
close(2)                                = 0

Nothing strange that I can see, also compared to other servers and no
difference.

Let me know what you think, I think this could be a red hat problem not
sure though.  Anything would be great.

I believe this is handled in that perl block on top of the foundation
checkout page so that the shipping mode agrees with the country.

Dear All,

I've been looking through the source to flypage.html and notice it refers to
specs.txt which -looks- like the idea is to print out specifications in a
"<b>Label:</b> Detail" format.

I assume that I need such a file to contain "sku, header, detail" fields.
Is any additional information required and once I've created such a file,
how I do I get Interchange to pick it up in the admin area (so I can import
into the SQL database?)

I have had a look through the icdevgroup website (and searched on the
mailing list archives using Swish and Google) and www.interchange.rtfm.info
but there is very little detail there, pretty much just CVS repository
details.

Regards, Ade.

Hi Mike,

> I have made numerous Locale fixes to the DEVEL branch of Interchange.

thank you for the effort. I made an attempt to stress your code with
a bogus config... While developing, I usually run my personal
Interchange server from my home, like ~/interchange/bin/restart, and
as me. I'm using the CVS from some 15 hours ago.
Here is what I get (hope you can use it):

Platform: Debian unstable/testing... I upgrade about twice a week
to unstable. I have generated all locales that the system offers,
including the (unused) Chinese etc. ones.


In my environment:

LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LANG=de_DE@euro


In catalog.cfg:

Locale          de_DE@euro
Locale          fr_FR@euro
Locale          en_US
Locale          sv_SE

Locale          de_DE@euro currency_symbol     " &euro;"
Locale          de_DE@euro mon_decimal_point  ,
Locale          de_DE@euro mon_thousands_sep   .
Locale          fr_FR@euro currency_symbol     " &euro;"
Locale          fr_FR@euro mon_decimal_point   ,
Locale          fr_FR@euro mon_thousands_sep   "&lsquo;"
Locale		sv_SE PriceDivide        .1081209657364659581
Locale          sv_SE currency_symbol     " SEK"
Locale          sv_SE mon_thousands_sep   &nbsp;


In flypage.html (with most of the HTML in between removed):

[setlocale de_DE@euro]
x [item-price]
[setlocale de_DE@euro]
[currency][calc][item-price noformat]*0.16[/calc][/currency]<br>
[currency]
    [calc]
    [item-price noformat]*1.16
    [/calc]
[/currency]
<br>
[setlocale fr_FR@euro]
[currency][calc][item-price noformat]*0.16[/calc][/currency]<br>
[currency]
    [calc]
    [item-price noformat]*1.16
    [/calc]
[/currency]
<br>
[setlocale sv_SE]
[currency][calc][item-price noformat]*0.25[/calc][/currency]<br>
[currency]
    [calc]
    [item-price noformat]*1.25
    [/calc]
[/currency]


The intention was to show a net price, a VAT amount, and a price
of net + VAT in the respective currencies. The VAT and some of the
locale data is really bogus and only serves the purpose of exercising
code.


The results:

With the settings above, and Interchange started just like described
above, I get for an item with net price 1495,-:

x 1'495,00 �
    239,20 �
  1.734,20 �
    239,20 �
  1'734,20 �
    373,75 SEK
  1 868,75 SEK 

[ The currency symbol isn't displayed correctly using cut&paste,
unfortunately, but it comes out correctly on the web page. ]

One thing that immediately jumps into the face is that PriceDivide
doesn't seem to have any effect - I've tried other numbers as
well, without success. Another problem is that the locale settings
are somehow honored only partially, with the french setting in
force while trying to display a german price.

If you have suggestions on what I should test in addition, or if you
want me to perform something more specific, please let me know.


Thank you!


Best,

    OK, so another way to "resolve" the issue is to not remove that block of

I believe an example file was at one point supplied in foundation, but
it is no longer there.

It is as simple as 

 sku	header	detail
SKU	Spec name	The information

Note the space before the "sku" in the header line -- It does need to be 
a sorted file, as it is accessed via binary search.

This was done to provide very fast free-form additional specs support
for a large database such as a computer parts distributor would use.
It works (at least) with the one that Techdata supplies, suitably sorted
and headered. You could indeed do the same thing with a SQL table,
though you would have a hard time matching the select speed of the
IC binary search for a large database.

With the code you have, you would need to use

	[currency convert=1] .... [/currency]

This is now obviated with [currency locale=sv_SV] ... [/currency], which
forces convert=1.

With a patch I put in yesterday, you would say:

	[currency locale=sv_SE][item-price noformat][/currency]

Of course the calc would still need to be in the body for the calculated
values...

No setlocale need be done, and conversion is automatic.

Likewise, I enabled:

	[subtotal locale=sv_SV]
	[salestax locale=sv_SV]
	[shipping locale=sv_SV]
	[handling locale=sv_SV]
	[total-cost locale=sv_SV]

I've transported this to the standard foundation shop, and it
appears to work so far, but it badly breaks with a former example
shop, applying the (wrong) PriceDivide at least once, and sometimes
twice.

This is what I converted everything to. I tried to set the default
locale like this: Locale de_DE@euro in catalog.cfg. Tests are
done with a fictious item priced 1495,- Euros. This time I
checked across catalogue templates.

The result is that if you don't use the locale data base as in
locale.txt in foundation, the result you get is -VERY- dependend
on the order of Locale statements in catalog.cfg. The default
locale needs to be placed last.

I would have preferred to be able setting the locale specific
attributes in any order and have the default locale be determined
either by saying

Locale	a_A
Locale	b_B

and have the first/last be the default, or to be able to say

LocaleDefault a_A

and list the other locales that are present.

Yes. That makes for a clumsy source code, but hey - it works!

I found that using setlocale doesn't affect the result anymore
when I write [currency locale=...] in the pages.

This I had yet no time to test, but will come back later to you.

While you are at it, this is on my wishlist:    ;-)

[salestax [item-price noformat] locale=de_CH]

to display the individual localized sales tax (taking into account
the different taxing rules according to destination, product type
etc) of an item in eg a flypage or a browse page, and likewise for
the other tags. That would spare me to write all the clumsy [calc]
sections or mangle my own UserTag-s for this purpose.

It is documented in ictags for the [currency ...] tag, and has been
for years.

Actually, this is there for Salestax "multi" mode, but not to pass a raw
number to:

        [salestax country=DE locale=de_DE]

It would honor tax_category, etc, and follow it down if you had differing
taxes based on state and province.

My impression is that it is insufficient to just say [... locale=...]
on a random page, but that it is also required to tell Interchange
which locales are going to be used via eg. the Locale statements in
catalog.cfg. But since you managed to point out two oversights on my
behalf in one message, I probably need to retract that idea and check
again before making any claims :-|

Using the code

[item-price]<br>
[currency locale=de_DE@euro]
[item-price noformat]
[/currency]

should display the price in the default locale (first occurrance), and
the specified locale (second occurrance). I've tried to say various
incantations of [setlocale] in front of the first [item-price], but
could not see any effect. Ie, I changed PriceDivide for fr_FR@euro to
.8, restarted Interchange and still found the price being the same for
both fr_FR@euro and de_DE@euro when saying:

[setlocale fr_FR@euro]
[item-price]<br>
[currency locale=de_DE@euro]
[item-price noformat]
[/currency]

Saying [currency locale=fr_FR@euro][item-price noformat][/currency]
works fine, so I'll stick with that.

Ok :-) I'll check this out!

Calculating the right item price and sales tax is a bit complicated
(not due to Interchange, but due to real-life).

Are you sure this isn't because [item-price], being a list tag, is 
interpolating before your [setlocale] tags? That's what it looks like to 
me. So all your [item-price] tags get interpolated, then afterwards, 
[setlocale] and [currency] tags operate but have no visible effect since 
the prices are already hard numbers.

Dear List,

Following an article posted somewhere else on how to set up Interchange for
use in the UK (using VAT and adding Switch/Solo/Delta as card types) I've
managed to get VAT on product sales sucessfully calculated.

One thing I can't seem to find is that VAT needs to calculated on the
shipping costs and the tax amount added to the "Tax" column so that
everything balances.  Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I suppose we could try and retrieve arbitrary locales at runtime
via localeconv(3); I had never thought of that.

Nope. You are missing the behavior of [item-price ...]. It is a sub-tag,
which is really part of the loop it is in. Read ictags and look for
"Looping tags and sub-tags".

If you want that behavior, you would need:

    [price code="[item-code]"]<br>
    [currency locale=de_DE@euro]
    [price code="[item-code]" noformat=1]
    [/currency]

Jonathan,

Okay, I've gone ahead and put "UK" in the TAXSHIPPING variable and restarted
Interchange.  If I add an example �1.00 product to the cart and select �8.95
shipping (a total of �9.95 in other words) it still displays tax as �0.18
and the total as �10.13.  It should, of course, show �1.74 as tax with a
total of �11.69.

Suggestions?

Regards, Ade.

Using IC 4.9.3 and MySQL

I've read all over but haven't come across any solutions.

I've tried it on the 4.8.x demo and it appears to work there.
I haven't done anything to the guts of basket.html.
User does a save of cart and the cart's name appears
in the little box produced by saved_carts.html but
if the cart is selected nothing is in the view of basket.html.
If the user attempts to delete the saved cart via the 'x' it
doesn't go away it just stays there until another cart is
saved then the previous one is replaced with the new one.

Another weird thing that might help.  After saving a cart
with some name...  Via UI.... select tables, then userdb,
then select the user, then select the Repositories tab.
On that view there is a field 'carts'.  If user saves a
cart then that field has a single left curly brace '{'
If the user attempts to delete the saved cart then that
field has two curly braces  '{}'     On the other hand
via PhpMyAdmin that field is set to BLOB.
So what should be saved in carts then ?

Thanks for the heads-up, although it's worth mentioning that it's working
without the leading space for me which is good because Access really didn't
like the idea of a field with a leading space.

Ah, in other words it was written for people like me :)

I've written off to Ingram Micro (UK) to see if they offer something in this
format to save me having to manually enter the specification details.
Techdata's UK company ("Computer 2000") fails to mention anything like that
being available on their site.

If anyone in the UK knows of any disties that offer something in the above
format, please let me know!

Hillary,

Sounds good, although I'm a little concerned that no-one else appears to
have written such a module yet.  Another company that I'm involved in used
eDatCat (another eCommerce system that's nowhere near as good as
Interchange) and the main programmer herself couldn't get it working with
Protx's "vsp form" product for more than just the initial transaction.  It
would complain regarding a duplicate serial number being sent to it but
looking at the text pre-encryption the serial was different.  We gave up in
the end as I was already mulling over looking for new eCommerce software.

Anyway, the businesses that I'm using Interchange for don't have merchant
accounts at the moment so I'm going to need to obtain those first but
whenever we eventually do, will most certainly like to pool resources.

Regards, Ade.

Lyn,

Yes, I'd like to use (iirc) "vsp direct" so that payment details are entered
on the server running Interchange and then submitted to Protx rather than
passing the user onto a webpage on the Protx server to fill in their
details.

I will warn you -- it will not always work, though it will probably work
much more often than not. A binary search halves the data and checks based
on the first character, then halves again. There are plenty of scenarios where
it will fail when the sort is wrong, even on the first line.

You didn't perchance happen upon this one, did you?

It may or may not be any help.

I did find that and though it did provide some good information
about how it is structured I wasn't able to gleam from it what
might be wrong.

I couldn't log on as a user to the latest 4.9.x demo to
test it, but I did try the 4.8.x demo and that worked.
I'm assuming that area hasn't been changed between
the releases but maybe I'm wrong here.
Anyone know for sure ?

Appreciate the help !!

How many people would like to see Interchange extended to have a module
to be a complete inventory management system?  This would allow for the
interface to be abstracted and a new interface to be put on for Point of

Yes, but wouldn't this take a customer to the thanks page after every edit
of their info? What you might want to do is set a scratch var in the [set
NewAccount] on new_account.html, then do an [either][or] to set the
mv_nextpage, depending on whether or not they came from the new_account
page, and therefore a new user. In the 'thanks' page you can send them an
email, but you must requrie them to enter their email on the account page,
for that.

PS, I don't have a virgin catalog anywhere, so I went to the demo, and it
seems that the 'Save Acct. Info' block is no longer there... At least I seem
to remember there being one, but I could be wrong. You will probably want to
wrap the hidden mv_nextpage in the [either][or], or alter account.html to
act differently. I think by default account.html, will simply run it through
a profile, save to userdb, an return.

    I'm trying to debug this back through the functional code
but not having much progress. In the interest of dividing
and conquering maybe some one could give me an idea
how to easily determine whether the problem is in saving
or retrieving the cart.  Thanks.

 Hello,

  I have been trying to create a new catalog after I
have upgraded my IC from 4.8.6 to 4.9.5. I go through
the makecat steps and when it's time to restart ic I
get this error.

"mode" is not defined in %Fcntl::EXPORT_TAGS at
/usr/local/interchange/bin/interchange line 812
Calling UI......UI is loaded...
Interchange V4.9.5
Configuring catalog foundation...Using default DBM

In line 222 of the configuration file 'catalog.cfg':


foundation config error: Use 'yes' or 'no' for the
Static directive

In line 222 of the configuration file 'catalog.cfg':

This line in the error has no refrence to DBM and I
can't figure out what's the problem.

Can anyone help me figure out what am I doing wrong.

Thank you

Kevin, 
	Exactly what I thought. However, having now done some research
on what currently exists... got a couple questions.

1. Thomas, did you in fact convert the globalsub to a
Vend::Payment::Linkpoint module? I would hate to re-invent the wheel.

2. I was thinking of just using he basic linkpoint C payment library,
rather than purchasing the perl wrapper... basically using Inline C to
make my own wrapper. Any thoughts on that?

3. I have set up the 4.9.5 release... anyone know of why this wouldn't
work with that release?

Thanks for any help...

Jeff

Why not go the rest of the way and convert the GlobalSub into a
Vend::Payment::LinkPoint module?  It probably wouldn't take up
a lot more of your time and would allow any of the standard
methods of per-site Interchange Payment module configuration to
be used.

Anytime I encountered this message it was a permission
problem. Ensure that the interchange user has sufficient
access to the catalog files.

Subject: [ic] Customized Gift Cards with Interchange
Message-ID: <003701c2c57b$6ddd8ac0$a21f0740@sp1>

As more and more companies start to use custom gift cards (i.e. Target,
CompUSA, etc.) I wonder if other people have integrated some of this
functionality into their web site and use with Interchange. 

Has anyone built or thought about how this would work with Interchange?

Subject: [ic] changes to etc/log_entry.html for Admin Order Option views and pulling top sellers from orderline db
Message-ID: <PIEEIFDAKHCKIIMDDMIDIEBLCLAA.KarenG@LOADUP.com>

Hi All,

Could you add these changes to the nightly builds.

The admin order entry uses log_entry as an order route. If you use the Admin
Order entry for items with options other than "simple" your orderline db is
going to be missing the description data. Here some changes that might be
helpful to etc/log_entry.html for Admin Order Options views and if your
pulling top sellers from orderline db.

etc/log_entry.html could look something like this:

Line 130>      sku: [item-code]
options: [item-filter mac strip][item-options report=1
type=value][/item-filter]
quantity: [item-quantity]
price: [item-price noformat]
subtotal: [item-subtotal noformat]
size: [item-modifier size]
color: [item-modifier color]
mv_mi: [item-modifier mv_mi]
mv_si: [item-modifier mv_si]
mv_mp: [item-modifier mv_mp]
order_date: [value order_date]
affiliate: ORDER_DESK
campaign: [value campaign]
status: pending
description: [filter mac][item-description][/filter]



It's missing these lines:
options: [item-filter mac strip][item-options report=1
type=value][/item-filter]
mv_mi: [item-modifier mv_mi]
mv_si: [item-modifier mv_si]
mv_mp: [item-modifier mv_mp]
description: [filter mac][item-description][/filter]


Note: earlier than IC 4.8.x probably don't want the option line:
options: [item-filter mac strip][item-options report=1
type=value][/item-filter]

Hope this helps

Anything in the error log? Sounds like somthing can be wrong with your
etc/profiles.order. You might want to check for carriage return
contamination. As for it happening every night, I don't know what that is
about. Are you using an online payment processor? or are you having the
cc#'s sent to you?

Why it would fix by replacing basket and checkout... hmm    try to find some
more clues, and check your error logs.

Check your crons, maybe you have a cron job thats gone medieval on you.

    In case some one is interested.....
    I'm making progress. I replaced my save_cart.html and
basket.html with the original versions, however, the only
difference is in the components layout per the diff I ran.

    The only problem I know of now is that when I delete
a saved cart it doesn't disappear from the list unless I
close the browser. Obviously it is some cached problem
I just haven't found it yet... Anyone ??

Thanks
Jon

    Ok, I'm working now. What I did was deleted the code in the
content section of save_cart.html and included the
saved_carts_list_small component. They were both doing
basically the same thing from what I can tell but only one
of them seems to work correctly.  Hopefully this will help
someone in the future.

Subject: [ic] Clone options problem
Message-ID: <020001c2c5e1$5c1097e0$5c3a5418@cardsup>

Hi,

I am trying to clone the options for the items in my catalog, but
probably I am doing something wrong...Here's what I do:

1. I go to a new item (Option type: Matrix)
2. Click on "Clone options"
3. "Create all possible combinations"
4. Manually delete the ones I do not need and edit the others

The result is not what I am looking for, as there are two problems:

1. There is an added price option with the description of the option
that I can not get rid of
2. The default option does not work, i.e. if I have set size "Large" as
default, after the cloning it is something else, like "Small", although
in the options table the "Large" is still selected as default...

Am I doing something wrong? 

What is the best way to clone items w/ options? I have over 400 to do
and clicking CLONE then making the adjustments
will take forever.

Thanks much!

Best,
Stan

Subject: [ic] Database access within an ActionMap
Message-ID: <200301271001.39646.gibsonm@cromwell-tools.co.uk>

Hi,
	I'm having problems accessing the database within an ActionMap sub.

Previously I was running a query within a page using:

[perl tables="mytable"]

	my $db=$Db{mytable};

	my $ary = $db->query{'SELECT ...'};

	... do stuff with $ary ...

[/perl]

I've decided to move this functionality out of the page into an ActionMap -
which seem a much better/cleaner solution.

Only I can't seem to find a database handle,
$Db{mytable} doesn't return anything when used in an ActionMap!

I've tried the following, as suggested on the mailing list for DB access 
within a usertag, but it didn't work either:
my $db = ::database_exists_ref('products')

How can I get a handle on the database from within an ActionMap?

(Interchange 4.9.5, PostgreSQL 7.3, Perl 5.8.0)

There's nothing in the error logs at all. I had this a couple days ago
and I got an error about mc_creditcard or something like that, but after
restoring from backup it worked for a day or two, but now it's at it
again, with no error logs. I ran a perl script to remove the carriage
returns from my entire /catalog directory but that didn't help at all.
I'm not using online processing. I have the CC's encrypted and emailed
to me. I don't have any cron jobs, btw. Thanks for the help.

Hello again,
	I've come up against another brick wall while attempting to make
use of the ActionMap feature.

Where would I define a subroutine that I wish to call from within an 
ActionMap?

I've tried the 'Sub' directive, eg:

Sub <<EOF
sub do_stuff {
	...
	return $myresult;
}
EOF

ActionMap myaction <<EOF
sub {
	...
	my $stuff = do_stuff();
	...
}
EOF

When I go to the URL (http://.../myaction) I just get the message:

Sorry, there was an error in processing this form action. Please report the 
error or try again later. (Undefined subroutine &main::do_stuff called at 
(eval 1783) line 4. )

Ah-ha, I've found a work-around for this, calling the [perl] tag with the
'tables' attribute set does the trick, example:

ActionMap dostuff <<EOF
sub {
	$Tag->perl('mytable');

	my $db = $Db{mytable};
	...
}
EOF

Neat! I didn't know that would work myself.

I am so used to using Global ActionMap and UserTag things I have put
off figuring out some way to deal with this problem. You have found
a solution.

That sub is not available in that context. You can do this, though:

ActionMap myaction <<EOF
sub do_stuff {
	...
	return $myresult;
}

sub {
	...
	my $stuff = do_stuff();
	...
}
EOF

One more note on this --- you can also call the Sub via:

Sub <<EOF
sub do_stuff {
	...
	return $myresult;
}
EOF

ActionMap myaction <<EOF
sub {
	...
	my $stuff = $Config->{Sub}{do_stuff}->();
	...
}
EOF

I'm having another problem regarding 'Sub', they don't seem to work in
[perl] blocks.

Lets assume we have defined the do_stuff() sub as above.
The following doesn't work (within an HTML page):

[perl] return do_stuff(); [/perl]

I keep getting (in global error log):
Safe: Undefined subroutine &main::do_stuff called at (tag 'perl') line 1.
>
> return do_stuff();
>

BUT, the following works fine:

[perl] return $Config->{Sub}{do_stuff}->(); [/perl]

Have I missed something, or is this a bug?

I think it would be a useful feature if 'Sub' routines could be called from
anywhere in the catalogue, (ie. ActionMaps, UserTags, other Subs, [perl], 
[calc], [mvasp], etc.)
as there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to place reuseable functions
(or again, have I overlooked something?)

No, it is not -- you did not use the subs=1 parameter as documented.

There is a place -- UserTag. It has the advantage of being callable
from ITL, and is easily accessed via $Tag->routine().

In addition, unless you are somehow limited in your permissions, it
is usually more useful to define global UserTag and ActionMap things.

Also, I noted that the strategy you found for accessing tables works
well for subs:

Sub <<EOF
sub do_stuff {
	...
	return $myresult;
}
EOF

ActionMap myaction <<EOF
sub {
	...
	$Tag->perl( { tables => 'products', subs => 1 });
	my $stuff = do_stuff();
	...
}
EOF

Brock,

You said that your customers screen would refresh if they tried to buy
something from you, and not take them to the receipt page. Well, is
interchange databasing their attempts? IOW are the orders getting databased
even though it looks like the order didn't go through? Are you or they
receiving an email receipt? Or is nothing at all happening...

If none of the above, then the order is probably not getting to you order
routes, and most likely not getting to the point of encryption, so you could
possibly rule out the order routes. It could be failing in profiles.order...

But all of this is mute, because you said it will fix if copied over an old
basket.html, and checkout.html, which to me just does not make sense (unless
you have attempted to edit them incorrectly).

If it were me I know I would have no choice but to get professional help,
and when something goes wrong, and orders are affected, I call Mike, Ed, or
Kevin for their supreme knowledge. This problem of yours (at least to me) is
not making sense, and I suspect it is something seemingly unrelated.

BTW, someone more knowledgeable might answer if you would include more
details that could be relevant (IC version, OS and version, database type,
Apache version, etc)

Good Luck.

Paul

I am trying to make it so that a person takes an order from a customer they
can manually override a price in the lib/UI/pages/admin/Entry.html page.

It must be possible.. I have so far accomplished changing the variable on
the Entry page so that it can be manually overwritten, but once you hit the
recalculate button the field reverts back to whatever price is in the
database set for retail.

Anyone have any ideas on what variable name I should set on that page?? and
do I need to set it elsewhere as well?

Thanks in advance

Subject: [ic] Will the Real Saved Carts Solution Please Stand Up
Message-ID: <3E36128F.D65558F3@attglobal.net>

This seems to exist in both 4.8.5 and 4.9.3.  Maybe it has been fixed
since then.

    The difference between component saved_carts_list_small and
saved_carts.html is the structure of the looping ITL code.
At the top of both modules is [if value carts] which branches
around the perl code in saved_carts.html but yet still flows
through  [loop list="saved_carts_carts saved_carts_recurring"]
section of code so that it can display ' No Saved Carts entered.'
and/or  No Recurring Orders entered.  However, in
saved_carts_list_small the [if value carts] branches around
both the perl and the looping ITL code so that nothing is
displayed unless [if value carts] is true.

    My solution is to add the following lines to saved_carts.html
above the [if value carts].

[perl]
   $Scratch->{saved_carts_carts} = '';
   $Scratch->{saved_carts_recurring} = '';
[/perl]

This will clear out the variables used by
[loop list="saved_carts_carts saved_carts_recurring"]
giving the perl code a change to legitimately set them up if
appropriate.  Sorry for the wordy answer but didn't know
how else to get it out.

Anyone think of a better way to fix this ??

Jon

Subject: [ic] Interpolate [include] or [file]?
Message-ID: <20030128052900.61148.qmail@web10002.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I'm working on building a dynamic catalog browsing
page.  The page gets a category of products from the
URL and possibly a page number to show, else it shows
the first in the category range.  These are images of
whole catalog pages in jpeg format with image maps to
go along with them.  It's a long story.  

What I'm wondering is if there's a way to interpolate
the [include] or [file] tags.  I need to grab a
different image map, each of which are stored in
separate files, for inclusion in the page depending on
what catalog page number I'm currently showing.  I've
searched the archives and haven't been able to find a
way to do this.  

What I'd like to do, basically, is:

[include name="catalog/imagemaps/[scratch
thispage].map"]

But that doesn't work.  Or does it and I'm doing
something wrong?

TIA,

Ryan

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 4.8.6. 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.

 -- No PGP signatures should be used. This is not a legal record.

 -- No flame wars are tolerated.

 -- No "courtesy copies" unless specifically requested. It

 -- If you must munge, make sure you mention this in the
    BODY of the message and not buried incomprehensibly in

 -- The list changes the Reply-To: header to point to the

Josh,

I used your simple perl script below to test for DBD and I got the "all
good" message; however, when I configure one of my dabases to use mysql and
restart IC I get the following message:  Using MySQL,
DSN=dbi:mysql:iscl...perl: can't resolve symbol 'mysql_init'

Should your test script also work for DBI?  I changed DBD to DBI and reran
and got an error message.  I also checked the INC array then then looked
into the perl system directories listed in INC and found directories for
both DBD & DBI, so it appears my sysadmin did install DBI.  But like I said
earlier, I still get the above message when I restart IC.  Any ideas?

Subject: [ic] Removing Tables
Message-ID: <008b01c2c6e4$16056290$b105010a@usia.co.at>

Hi list,

RH7.3
IC4.8.5

If I remove a table that I do not need, for example userdb.* from
catalog/products & catalog/dbconf/pgsql where else do I need to remove
userdb.* or any associations to it?

I'm getting the following error message in my error.log, which I think is
causing problems with the IC and preventing my 'log out' link from
happening. Nothing else has been changed to cause this error otherwise.

ERROR:

ip_address fIRkmuUQ:login login [28/January/2003:16:38:18 +0100] training
/cgi-bin/catalog/admin/login.html Runtime error: user database userdb does
not exist.


Also when I update my products or remove an item it tries to remove any
association to the other tables, correct?. When the table such as userdb.*
has been removed then I also get an error msg from IC in the products page
itself. Thus my latter assumption.

How do I properly remove tables that I do not need?

Thanks, Greg G.

Subject: [ic] relating parts to products
Message-ID: <3E36A719.6060509@alumni.uwaterloo.ca>

Hi,

I'm not quite sure how to go about this. I need to create a catalogue 
that consists of a list of products, as well as a number of parts and 
accessories.

Each part may link to product type, product sku or a series of products, 
all within a brand.

How do I set up this kind of relationship? Interestingly, it seems in IC 
product information gets repeated in columns, rather than stored in a 
separate table. Is this for performance reasons?

I'm thinking I'll need two tables for this, which won't be related to 
one another. Information needed in both tables, like brand, product type 
& subtype, model number will simply be input twice.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Gerry

The script will work for any module, but you have to use the right one. 
DBI is just "use DBI".

I'm not familiar with that error message, but you might check the 
archives (if the test for DBI works and you still get it).

Message-ID: <A0896930-32E0-11D7-A1F0-0030654BBC4C@kingdomdesign.com>

I'm wondering if it is possible to do SQL functions within the query 
tag. My database is MySQL.

On the flypage, I'm passing this code (adds times for track rows to get 
the total disc time for a CD):

[query sql="select time_format(sum(length), '%T') from music where sku = 
[item-code]" table=music type=list]

[/query]

This gives me nothing. I would guess there's a problem with what I 
should ask for (sql-param ???). Is this even possible?

ok, that worked in that the test for DBI now says, "all good".  I was using
"use DBI::mysql" just like the DBD test and I changed it to only say "use

Message-ID: <20030128173058.36000.qmail@web20421.mail.yahoo.com>

I was wondering if anyone else has configured IC to
allow people winning ebay auctions to pay using IC
instead of paypal.  Personally I'd rather use my
merchant account and site, if nothing else it will
make some people aware of the site and maybe come back
to buy direct, tell their friends, etc.  

What I am envisioning is to create a page that first
simply has input fields for auction number,
description, ebay id, winning bid amount and shipping
amount.  Then when they click on submit it takes them
to the secure checkout, but maybe a different version
of the regular checkout page.  It would have all the
regular info there but will also calculate their total
(bid, plus shipping and sales tax calc if necessary on
bid amount).  Then it would simply process as if any
other transaction was, although it would probably need
new email forms to be sent to the store admin and
customer that were tailored more to an ebay purchase
than a store purchase.

If anyone has done anything like that and is willing
to share some code, that would be greatly apprecaited.

You can use the options feature to provide size/color/etc.
functionality. You can also store additional product information in the
products table like with foundation. If you want to show that
information on flypage, just use:

[item-field FIELDNAME]

Have you tried [sql-code] or [sql-param 0] ?

You might check you sql query in MySQL. I am pretty sure that sku is a
string field, so your query should have quotes around the item code,
sku='[item-code]'

This error is caused because you deleted the userdb table.  You cannot
just delete a table "assuming" that you do not need it.  You must be
absolutely sure that none of the underlying code is going to try and use
that table for **anything**.  In the case of userdb, if you are using a
catalog even closely resembling the Foundation demo, you are going to
have a big job on your hands trying to delete userdb without causing any
errors.

Yes, Interchange tries to keep it's data as clean as possible by
deleting data that may be related to data in another table.  ie:
products and options.  However, this has nothing to do with why you are
getting an error on your products page. The error you are getting is
because you deleted a table that is needed by some code in the page.  

> 
> How do I properly remove tables that I do not need?

Again, this is going to probably give you a major headache unless you
are really familiar with the internal workings of Interchange.  You are
MUCH better off to leave the table structure as it is and add your own
tables as needed or you can modify the current tables by adding columns
to the end of the tables without affecting the functionality of the
catalog.

If that is valid SQL for your table, try [sql-pos 0].  If that works, then 
isn't passing 'length' back as the column header.

Hey there.  I'm using 4.9.5 on Linux and have, I think, beaten
the "simple store" from the RTFM tutorial into submission.
(Yay me.)  It's at b3x5c.com (no www) for now, and will move
to a "real" server next month sometime.  Utter newbies are
welcome to ask questions while the problems are still fresh
in my mind. (The "contact us" link goes to my partner, so
please don't use that to take me up on this offer.)

I could use some help on two issues:
 
1) I can't figure out how the snippet in the FAQ allows me to
remove one item from a cart; there's just no context for it.
Can anyone provide that?  I can delete the WHOLE cart, but
that doesn't make for a pleasant shopping experience when
you've picked multiple items and your mouse slips.

2) On a possibly related note, is there a good way to tell
the cart in the "simple store" that it should NOT increment
quantities when an item is picked twice?  We're selling one-
offs, so once a sku is selected there just aren't any more
of it.  I have hardcoded the display so the quantity always
shows as "1" but would like the internals to support it
correctly.

Again, this is the tutorial "simple store," not the Foundation
demo.  I've tried to pick a few enhancements out of that, and
that's how I got the canceled.html page to work, but the rest
of it is WAY too hairy for me. :-)  Thanks!

I did something like this some time ago.  Of course,
how involved it will be will depend on whether or 
not the auction info will already be in your databases
or if you want the customer to enter everything.

If the customer is just going to input everything, as
I did, you can simply use the OnFly feature of IC
to dynamically create the "item" for that particular
auction at whatever price it went for.  Then you are 
just working with a normal cart and checkout as
usual.

    Look at the Foundation cart component (templates/components/cart) for
sample code.  It's done by setting the quantity of an item to zero.

    This code below came from someone on the list, I think it was Ed.  It
goes at the top of the basket (templates/components/cart) and checkout
(ord/checkout) pages.  Then set the inventory for your items to 1.

[comment]dont let users add more to cart than we have in stock[/comment]
[perl tables=inventory]
  my $item;
  foreach $item (@{$Carts->{main}}) {
    my $on_hand = tag_data('inventory', 'quantity', $item->{code});
    next if $on_hand >= $item->{quantity};
    if ($on_hand<=0) {
      $item->{quantity} = 0;
      $item->{q_message} = "Item is currently out of stock.";
    } else {
      $item->{quantity} = $on_hand;
      $item->{q_message} = "Limited item stock, order quantity adjusted.";
    }
  }

    I suspect you should use the Foundation, thats what everyone uses as a
foundation for building interchange sites.

Hello,

can do a single query using data session arg and get out all of the fields
that I need at once and then just use prefix-param to display them on the

Fair enough. Do you know what the intent is for the size and color 
columns in the products table for the foundation demo? Where does that 
info get used? I don't see any use at the moment.

Yep.

To return the sum under the column name 'length' use 'AS', also, sku is a
string so needs to be quoted:

SELECT time_format(sum(length), '%T') AS length FROM music WHERE sku =
'[item-code]'

I suppose that will allow you to decrease the number of queries. To be sure,
watch the postgresql logs closely.

Those columns have been a part of the products table for as long as I
have been using IC. Again, those have largely been replaced by the
options features, but they are an example of how you can store
additional product data and then display it wherever necessary.

In 4.9.x, you can do this directly:

    MaxQuantityField  inventory:quantity

No. The record is only pulled out once per table.

Thanks for all the help. The [sql pos 0] worked (with or without single 
quotes around sku), but not for everything.

Adding track times with MySQL's time_format doesn't work. I tested it at 
the command line, and it would add the seconds, say 242, and take the 
hundreds place (2), and add it to the minutes. If the seconds tens place 
were over 6, like 292, it would return NULL.

"AS length" did indeed change the column name.

So, I guess the only way to make it work would be manually, dividing by 
60, etc.

Thanks again!

Josh

Hi,

ic 4.9.5

I tried importing a CSV (Tab-delimited, no field marker) file containing 
four new products. All four products were added in, no problem.

I then tried importing the same file, this time with the "Replace 
existing items" option. I expected this would update existing items, and 
it did that, but any products that were not in the file got deleted, 
even though I didn't enable the "Allow delete" option.

Is this a bug?

Hi all

I am finally getting comfortable with this program.. I have a question on
shipping.. I have read the documents and tried some of the examples.. but
they have not worked for me. I am running Interchange 4.8.

Basically I am doing a quantity shipping procedure:

shipping.asc
CPP     Charge Per Piece        quantity        0       0       e Error
{'ui_ship_type' => "quantity",'ups' => "0",'adder' => "2.95",'at_least' =>
"6.95",'PriceDivide' => "1",}
CPP     Charge Per Piece        quantity        0       1       4.00
CPP     Charge Per Piece        quantity        2       9       f
(2.95*@@TOTAL@@)+4.00-2.95
CPP     Charge Per Piece        quantity        10      9999999 f
(2.95*@@TOTAL@@)+4.00-4.45
PKG    Book Bundle    1    0    999999999    f    [my-shipping flat="0"]

catalog.cfg
UserTag my-shipping Order flat
UserTag my-shipping Routine <<EOR
sub {
	my $flat = shift;
	for my $item (@$Items) {
    next unless $item->{code} eq 'the_code';
		    $flat += 32;
    last;
	}
	return $flat;
}
EOR

But the PKG never gets picked up.. In fact after I restarted interchange 3
times all shipping stopped working.. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch..

M

PS I got the example from Mike Heins in an old post.. So if you are
listening.. please point this young one in the right direction

This doesn't help.  at least I don't see how.

Basically . On the Order Entry page (not the Checkout page) I need to be
able to change <input type=text name="[whatever]" value="[price]">
in a way that it takes this value and keeps it ..once I hit recalculate the
value reverts back to the value that is in the database ie(item-field price)

When I hit the recalculate it does a Process and I am not sure what it is
doing.  I only know it is making a new request for the price based on the
new quantity that may or may not have been changed.  But there has got to be
a way to do the same with "price"

Message-ID: <20030128222816.78971.qmail@web10002.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I'm working on building a dynamic catalog browsing
page.  The page gets a category of products from the
URL and possibly a page number to show, else it shows
the first in the category range.  These are images of
whole catalog pages in jpeg format with image maps to
go along with them.  It's a long story.  

What I'm wondering is if there's a way to interpolate
the [include] or [file] tags.  I need to grab a
different image map, each of which are stored in
separate files, for inclusion in the page depending on
what catalog page number I'm currently showing.  I've
searched the archives and haven't been able to find a
way to do this.  

What I'd like to do, basically, is:

[include name="catalog/imagemaps/[scratch
thispage].map"]

But that doesn't work.  Or does it and I'm doing
something wrong?

TIA,

Ryan

For anyone who cares, I actually made it work. Not too hard; just 
convert the time to seconds, sum the rows, and convert back to time:

[query sql="select sec_to_time(sum(time_to_sec(length))) from music 
where sku = [item-code]" table=music type=list]
[list]<p>Total playing time (HH:MM:SS): [sql-pos 0]</p>[/list]

Hi Rich

It looks like entry.html has an actual cart, so I think circumventing the
price might be difficult. You may have to make it an on-the-fly item, which
gives you alot of head room. Maybe have a selectbox that says
"regular|custom" and if it is custom, have IC build an OnFly item right then
and there before the recalc is submitted.

http://www.icdevgroup.org/doc-5.0/frames/ic_ecommerce_5.html

However if this is for giving a customer a price break, or credit because of
a shipping mixup (or whatever) I would instead look into issuing a
[discount] within that cart.

BTW I have not done either of these in ADMIN, so I am just throwing ideas
up.

You have already asked this, and had a reply. Asking the same question again
when you didn't get the right answer last time will not really help.

I think you need to better explain what you need to interpolate. Is it the
contents of the included file, or the named parameter passed to the
[include] or [file] tag.

As you will see from the docs, [include] interpolates the file contents,
whereas [file] does not. There are some things which will not work in an
[include]d file though.

So, my answer is: Use [include].

Did I answer the right question?

Ryan, did my suggestion not workout?

[include file="catalog/imagemaps/[scratch thispage].map"]

assuming [scratch thispage] is properly set...

Sorry, my attempt to subscribe to this list last night
before sending the second email with problem
apparently didn't work.  I never got the confirmation
email but my problem message sounds like it got
through.  I subscribed again today and am now on the
list, but I missed your first reply.  Sorry to ask the
same question again!

I'll try your suggestion.

Your suggestion did work for the [file] tag, but not
the [include] tag.

The image map I'm including looks like this:

<area shape="rect" coords="145,93,163,141" href="[page
href="7068"]">
<area shape="poly"
coords="103,71,127,71,134,110,132,125,118,134,97,127"
href="[page href="7048"]">

So I want to use [include] to interpolate all teh
[page] tags in there.  However, I can only get the
file to be included if I use [file] instead of
[include].  The tag looks like:

[include name="pages/catalog/imagemaps/[scratch
thispage].html"]

That doesn't work, but replacing include with file
does include it, but obviously doesn't interpolate
those tags.  

Any reason that would be?  I've checked and double
checked the map fle and made sure all the [page] tags
were formatted correctly and there were not weird
brackets hanging about.

Firstly, please post replies in the context of the message, as per the
guidelines of the list which you were sent.

As has been answered above, the named parameter for the [include] tag is
'file' and not 'name'. Also, I think you meant to use [area] instead of
[page] in your above code. Other than that, it should work if you use:

[include file="pages/catalog/imagemaps/[scratch thispage].html"]

Subject: [ic] Disable / Bypass Administration Login
Message-ID: <F20B415D-334A-11D7-B072-000A27D85934@entrmix.com>

I asked a question yesterday on how to disable or get around the login  
for the administration module.  I wanted to grab the order_view page  
without authorization (because I am doing it from PHP and fopen).  So  
below is what worked for me, YMMV.  Also, you are disabling security  
for this page so this is not at all recommended.  You might make the  
admin directory be protected by .htaaccess just in case.

To try this simply:

1. su to root
2. edit /usr/lib/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/order_view.html and add  
[set no_login_required]1[/set] to the line above @_UI_STD_HEAD_@ .
3. Restart Interchange /etc/init.d/interchange restart
4. Test. Something like:   
http://www.myICStore.com/cgi-bin/myICStore/admin/ 
order_view?order=MIC4988  should bring up the order with no  
authorization required.

I would assume this would work on other pages also, but this could  
cause some potential problems with the permissions IC sets up for its  
users and of course your changes to order_view.html will go away when  
you upgrade IC at any point.

Subject: [ic] Payment module questions
Message-ID: <20030129053823.EEJZ15439.mta3-svc.business.ntl.com@there>

Hey there,

I'm working on a new payment module and have a couple questions (many more 
will follow, no doubt).

The payment gateway I'm using requires a credit card type (that is, 'VISA', 
'MASTERCARD' and so on). I've put the following chunk of code in 
checkout.html:

<SELECT NAME=mv_credit_card_type>
[calc]
my $accepted = $Variable->{CREDIT_CARDS_ACCEPTED};
my %cc;
my $out = "";
$cc{"Visa"} = "VISA" if $accepted =~ /visa/;
$cc{"MasterCard"} = "MASTERCARD" if $accepted =~ /mc/;
$cc{"Discover"} = "DISCOVER" if $accepted =~ /discover/;
$cc{"American Express"} = "AMEX" if $accepted =~ /amex/;
for (keys %cc) {
  $out .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$cc{$_}\">$_";
}
return $out;
[/calc]
</SELECT>

Can I now access this variable using '$actual{mv_credit_card_type}' (assuming 
this hash was set up as in other payment modules)?

BTW, what's the best way to debug? Where does the '::logDebug()' function 
output to? How are payment modules called? Can you debug without having to 
place an order each time?

Secondly, can someone please give me specs on the return values that IC 
expects to receive in the %result hash? I can see more or less what's 
happening in other modules, but it's a little confusing.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you make a copy of the order_view.html page and copy it to
<catalog_root>/pages/admin/ and then revert the original UI page back at
/usr/lib/interchange/... That way, you have overridden the UI page for only
one catalog, not all catalogs. Also, your page will remain when you upgrade
the core.

Of course, you could use a different name for your page and then users in
the UI would have access to the core UI page and your PHP routine would use
another.

Good ideas.  Thanks.  When I get this finished, I will package the 
system up, it may help other IC users.  It's basically a way to print 
PDF based packing slips and mailing labels based off of IC orders.

Sounds good. I use <HTMLDOC> on Helpem (which was developed in Interchange)
to generate on the fly pdfs.

good luck!

Is there a quick way to update the inventory table without having to change
each product individually?  I tried importing the inventory table but it
doesn't seem to work.  The products table import works but the inventory
doesn't seem to update, just all the other tables in products.xls.

Subject: [ic] Search routine
Message-ID: <BA5D647B.2A1E%abellmt@spsp.net>

I have a question about a search.  First let me say that I did try the
searchable archive and it came up with some promising hits, but the
drill-down to an article gave 404 errors (rejection from RedHat).  So is
there another way to do this?

The search I'm attempting is to find the word(s) typed in the search field
within some of the product db fields (description, comment, sku, price) but
eliminate any in the "specials" category.  (There is no "specials" category
in the cat db, but some items in the products db have category = specials.)
In other words, we want to keep the casual visitor from finding the
specials.

Here's what I tried:

<FORM ACTION="[area search]" method="post">
  <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchtype VALUE=sql>
  <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_matchlimit VALUE=4>
  <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_sort_field VALUE=category>
  <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_search_page" VALUE="results_big">
           
  <input type="hidden" name="mv_coordinate" value="yes">

  <input type="hidden" name="mv_search_field" value="category">
  <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_column_op" VALUE="rn">
  <input type="hidden" name="mv_substring_match" value="no">
  <INPUT type="hidden" name="mv_searchspec" value="special">

  <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_search_field"
      VALUE="sku,description,comment,price">
  <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_column_op" VALUE="em">
  <input type="hidden" name="mv_substring_match" value="yes">
  <INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME="mv_searchspec" type=text size=10>
 (submit button)
</form>

This returns (along with other items) my item in the "specials" category,
which I didn't want.  (I typed in "spec" which appears in a number of the
comment fields.)

And I've tried a number of variations (changed order of statements,
column_op="!=", etc.) and got various results, but none what I want.  I even
tried using a mysql_query, with no improvement:
   <input type="hidden" name="mv_sql_query"
    value="select sku from products where (sku like mv_searchspec
        or description like mv_searchspec
        or comment like mv_searchspec or
        price like mv_searchspec)
        and category != 'special'">

Anybody done this sort of thing before?

I can't say without any doubt, but I suspect what is bitting you is that 
you are mixing the individual listing of the fields in the 
MV_SEARCH_FIELD along with the combined search, which I also believe you 
have stated incorrectly.  Unless I'm mistaken, I thought that the 
multiple fields were delimited with a colon, not a comma, so you could 
start by changing that.  If that still fails, you could use the initial 
search page to gather the search spec and then on the next page, do a 
SQL loop so that you can precisely pull what you want or don't want from 
the tables...

Well... for me, working with the Foundation is like driving an Abrams to 
the 7-11.  With those two cart problems out of the way (THANK YOU!!!) the
simple store does everything my partner wants.  We've gone slightly beyond
it; added a nicer search function, and a couple of static pages (not sure
what inspired me to find the "StaticPage" config line, but it solved the
problem of not being able to link directly to static content from outside).
Those are items that I hope to write up and post somewhere.  It's just a
case of Less is More for some folks.

Goes without saying that I'm impressed by what I've seen so far, and 
starting to have serious fun with it.  Many thanks, Jeff!

Again, it's a question of context.  I have not got clue one where 
I should put that, you see?  I'm not ashamed to say I need to take
baby steps here, Mike.  I've stared at Foundation for a couple of
months, and while I may be able to tease things out of it someday
now that I have seen the Tutorial in action, it still makes me feel
a bit like Sam Gamgee approaching Mordor.  :-)

go under the inventory section of your .xls file and save as a "tab
delimited text file" then upload the single inventory.txt file that you
just saved. you may want to open it up in a text editor of some sort
and make sure that quotes were not added to your table. if there were,
just to a "search and replace all"

Good Luck,
Tom

to actually display the string I submit for a search/scan.
This I am trying to do in the results page and am getting nothing.

When I try [value mv_searchspec] I get an array ref.

When I try to seti or scratch the mv_searchspec I again get nothing.

I have scanned all of the documents on the icdevgroup site & can find
little of assistance.

I am working in IC 4.8, on Red Hat with Mysql. I am getting no errors
other than the fact that I am getting the null value returned.
I have reference several docs that discuss having this null value issue
but no solutions.

Any Ideas are most appreciated.

The docs say:
"nontaxable

Boolean value. If true (1), the sales tax calculation for an order will not 
include the cost of the product. See also the salestax tag."

If you go to the interchange demo and look at the 10 penny nails they are set 
for nontaxable=1
Next, If you order the 10 penny nails and choose US, and Ohio, you are taxed 
$0.70 for them.

Is this is a bug? or am I missing the purpose of the nontaxable field?
Should there be an [if-item-field nontaxable]  tag placed in the 
/include/checkout/shopping_cart before figuring the tax?

 I have a large number of tax-exempt items mixed in with standard taxable 
goods.. any help would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks in advance,

HI:

Is there a way to read the shipping table without the shipping tag?

Because I would like do my own shipping calculations, but it seems to me
that there is no official way to read the ups shipping tables in order to
look up the shipping charge only thru the shipping tag, so there is no way
to get a rate for a specified zip and weight if its not in the shopping

Check your etc/after.cfg.  You may need something like:

NonTaxableField nontaxable

and perhaps...

Profile default NonTaxableField nontaxable

Enable debugging, then check your CATROOT/foundation.structure file to see 
what your profiles are working out to after all is said and done.

Good luck,

Subject: [ic] Can Interchange allow us to make Quotes that can be converted to
 Orders?
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0301291736460.25831-100000@altenergystore.com>

Is it possible to create Quotes for customers within Interchange that can
be later converted to an Order? We would need this functionality for just
the backend interface (for our sales folks) of Interchange and not the web
interface portion.

We old users of minivend and are considering upgrading to Interchange, and
we trying to figure out what workarounds in our current system we'd have
to carry over in an upgrade to interchange.

Thanks,
Sascha

Also, when you speak to your host tell them to do the following:

  1. Downgrade SQL::Statement to version 0.1021, from the 1.x version
     they probably have now.

  2. Don't upgrade modules in use on live sites without testing first.

  3. Don't supply software that they are unable or unwilling to support.

Actually yes that is exactly what it is for... We have too many pricing
structures that are inconsistant even with each other.. it depends on
negotiations and profit and size of the order.  I have been trying to get
them to accept a more standard way such as what is built into Interchange to
no avail.  Interchange appears to be realy just a retail store outlet with
some distributorships that all follow the same guidelines.  Into doesn't
seem to take into account that for a few very big client or more that I may
need to actually just override a price.

I am open to the following.
	-Overriding the price from the admins/internal Entry page
	-Overriding the discount from the same page
	-Using MS Access to submit a Query to Interchange as a url to make an order
so I would need info on how to submit an order as a URL
	-Using MS Access to Add an Order ( this is difficult) because of the
shipping that has 		to be included.

Message-ID: <001901c2c87d$21cc0080$6501a8c0@ci.com>

I would like to limit the items shown on the lists mentioned above for Users
who do not belong to the Content Manager's group (i.e. users who were added
to the Merchandisers and Orders/Sales permission Groups).

To do this I believe I need to add a "Owner" field to the Products Table,
and populate this field with the Username of the user entering the product.

Then when a user (that is not the Content Manager/Power User) logs into the
Administration Area, and they select the Items tab, only the items they have
added will be shown, likewise when they select the Orders, Merchandising, or
Customers tab, they will see only the orders, Merchandise, or Customers who
have ordered the products they added.   This requires modifying the
selection criteria to restrict the items shown to the items matching the
UserName currently logged into the Admin Interface.

If you have any idea about adding New fields to the table, and how to use
this fields to restrict the items listed please let me know.

Thanks!

Tina.

Hello group,

I have a question which seems simple enough, but I haven't found any
documentation about it.

For one of our clients we are creating a website that includes movies,
which they upload via the administration pages. The server currently
assigns the attributes 660 to these files (rw-rw----). Is it possible to
change this to 644 (rw-r--r--), and if so, how? 

Regards,

Marc Brevoort

Message-ID: <20030130170057.24575.qmail@web12506.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello All-

I was wondering where in the doc I could find info as to how I could
link IC on the back-end to a front-end CMS such as Zope...

The situation is that this site will not be mostly catalog-based, but
will instead be heavily content-driven, with a small number of
products. I like the CMS functionality offered by Zope, but also lik
IC's robust e-commerce functionality (links to payment processors,
order routing, order management).

Is there maybe a HOW-TO?

It seems like this would be a pretty common need, since many companies
have both a web site, and an e-commerce section of the main site.

Does anyone have any info?

-Malcolm

Without seeing how you have things setup, you could change your users
umask to 022 or create a new user with the umask of 022 and chmod your
upload script with the sticky bit.

Jarod,
Thanks for your reply so far. I assume by 'your users umask' you mean
the umask of the user account that is running the interchange server
process? Do you (or anyone, for that matter) happen to know which file
contains the Interchange code that accepts uploads?

Marc Brevoort

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.50.0301301726420.21194-100000@louche.swelter.net>

ICDEVGROUP announces the release of Interchange 4.8.7. This latest version
in the stable Interchange 4.8 branch is primarily a bugfix release that
fixes problems with version 4.8.6 and includes a few minor new features.

We recommend that users of earlier Interchange 4.8 releases upgrade to
this version. New users should generally use the latest build of
Interchange 4.9 instead, to be ready for the upcoming Interchange 5.0
release which has many improvements over Interchange 4.8.

Packages are available for download at these locations:

Generic cross-platform TAR package:

    http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/4.8/tar/interchange-4.8.7.tar.gz

A list of most changes appears below.

Enjoy,

Interchange 4.8.7 changes

Core/Usertags
-------------

* Fix bug where Interchange got stuck into an infinite loop on startup in case
  of wrong SQL database access information.

* [userdb function=logout clear=1] will now restore the appropriate
  ScratchDefault and ValuesDefault values instead of simply deleting the
  scratches and values under its control.

* Fix persistence problems in PreFork mode:
  - [more-list] settings
  - profile state
  - [summary] tag's accumulator

* Table/DBI.pm: Simplify field_settor subroutines with prepared query and
  placeholder. Prevents infamous DBD::Pg::do errors.

* Server.pm:
  - Output proper header so missing script will be seen as 404.
  - Fix whitespace transform, tolerate leading whitespace on header lines.
  - Apache 2.0.x compatibility fix for problem described here:
    http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2002-August/024212.html

* Fix bug where bad [nitems compare=...] could cause server error.

* Tolerate following previously unallowed constructs:

  [if-loop-param fieldname =~ /abc/i]
  (and/or options s, m, x)

  [if-loop-param fieldname =~ /abc/ ]
  [if-loop-param fieldname =~ /a b c/]
  (space in or after regex caused regex compilation to fail before)

* Fixed a problem that prevented the following from working:
  [input-filter name="[quantity-name]" op="nullselect digits_dot"]
  [/input-filter]

* Config.pm:
  - Tolerate missing configdb database, issue warning only.
  - pass Perl error message if Sub fails to compile

* Allow the 'md' (mv_more_decade) parameter to be specified with tags
  such as [query].

* Don't reject ZIP+4 without hyphen in 'zip' profile check.

* Search.pm: Change stupid behavior where last sort_option is forwarded
  to all future unset options; always default to 'none' if not set.

* [button]
  - Allow tag to work with an unnamed form.
  - Make sure that the current button being pressed is the only one whose
    mv_click_map_* variable gets set. This works around the problem of a
    user clicking one button, using the browser's Back button, then
    clicking on a different button, and both mv_clicks execute instead of
    just the most recent one.

* [formel] - Pass value to display tag.

Payment
-------

* Signio.pm: Fixed several bad function mappings. Unlink temp file when
  done. Prefer pfpro over pfpro-file. Accept bin_path and library_path
  route settings. Handle ORIGID properly on delayed capture.

* AuthorizeNet.pm: Fixed a typo that kept 'auth' type from working.

* Payment.pm: Display errors from payment modules in credit card header on
  checkout page.

Foundation
----------

* Change catalog.cfg default for MaxServers in "rpc" profile to zero. This
  is probably best for the vast majority of servers running in PreFork mode.

* Reconfig seems to be always timing out on faster processors, made more
  reliable....

* Be more tolerant with zip/postal codes -- don't remove hyphen from
  ZIP+4 (99686-2933) or space from Canadian postal code (T0L 0R0).

* Fix orderline import deficiency found by Karen Gold (KarenG@LOADUP.com).

Miscellaneous
-------------

* Included latest mod_interchange code with several bugfixes and improvements.

* Fix makecat bug that prevented the cgi-bin link program from being
  associated with the chosen owner and group. Patch by Carl Bailey.

* Update copyright notices, Interchange URLs, and email addresses.

Build/Packaging
---------------

* Prevent test from failing during upgrade -- remove the installation
  library directories from @INC if MINIVEND_ROOT =~ blib.

* Debian package build process didn't install scripts properly
  into usr/lib/interchange/bin when running with Perl 5.8.x.

* Cleanse mod_interchange directory in Debian's clean target.

* Separate package creation process into architecture dependent
  and architecture independent run (fixes Debian bug #172940).

Looking at /usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange, it turns out that (what
seems to be) the upload handler already contains the following:

Vend::Interpolate::tag_value_extended(
    $file_fields[$i],
    {
        outfile => $outfile,
        umask => '022',
        yes => '1',
    }
)

which looks like it's doing what it's supposed to. I'll see if I find
any more clues as of what could be causing different attributes, only
two of the files in the upload directory had different attributes set.
Might be a user error...

Marc Brevoort

Message-ID: <000801c2c895$91154dd0$ab7ba8c0@abhlaptop>

Good Day All,

I find that when using [discount ALL_ITEMS], then this:
   [if discount [item-code]][item-discount][/if]
doesn't seem to work.  Is there a way to do that?  What
I would like the most is to be able to show the total
discount that has been supplied (if there is one) for the 
whole cart.  Is there a way to do that?  I thought maybe
just [if discount], but I wasn't getting anything with that..

IC 4.8.3

Message-ID: <GMEAJOFNACFADKPECNEBKEMKCAAA.shawn@oceanebi.com>

Quick Question,

Is it possible to pass the refering url like you pass mv_source?

We have an ad server which redirects to our store(s) with the affiliate id
using mv_source, but of course the refering url info is lost.

Thanks,

    Use mv_pc, it should do what you are looking for.

I have store based on the foundation store which has been running 
flawlessly for a few years :)

I have been trying to upgrade the store to the latest version, but for 
some reason I have not been able to get matrix options to work, when I 
checked the demo store on icdev it also seems not to work (egg roller, 
0s28004). Has matrix options been depreciated? Is there another way to 
offer unique SKUs for product options?

Thanks,

Actually, there is a bug in the single-widget options for 4.9. (It would
work for separate widgets.) I have not fixed it because I am in the middle
of changing options code entirely; it will be compatible with the current
setup but greatly improve the future addition of capability.

If you can find sub tag_options in lib/Vend/Interpolate.pm that applies
to the single-widget options, (the elsif($record->{o_matrix}) block),
removing the line which says:

	next unless $ref->[1];

should temporarily fix this. It should be completely fixed in CVS
in a few days.

Doesn't ebay send an email to the seller with the name of the bid winner and
the final winning price?

because if they do send, you can have ebay send the email to an POP account
and have a script that checks for new emails and parses the info and inserts
it to a database table, so if the user wants to pay for the auction he will
need to enter his ebay username and auction number and you will
automatically have the final price (without having the customer to enter it,
so he can't fool you).

Message-ID: <001501c2c722$ae658720$0a01000a@badtzmaru.com>

Hello,

    I have noticed that, on my system, most of the load is generated by
product scans.  It seems to be the IO issue created when dozens of people
hit the first page of the search results at once and the system has to scan
the products and write the resultant match list out to the session
directory.  I suspect it is the writing of the results that creates the
highest load, as write operations are typically much slower than read
operations.  When pondering this, I realized that all of my users are doing
the same searches (via the category_vertical links) but each search is
resulting in redundant scans and writes.  I think there may be some
opportunity for caching here.  I am thinking it might be possible to create
one copy of the results that were returned for a given search instead of
each user having their own copy.  This global result list could be updated
at certain intervals, much like the timed-build tag.
    This is assuming I haven't missed some way to cache results page that
currently exists, which is not impossible.

Thanks,
Jeff

    No idiocy at all, I should've taken a bit more time in the response...
append mv_pc=affiliateid to your url, like www.mysite.com?mv_pc=google .
Then Interchange will use this as its "source" value which will show up in
the traffic and order logs as well as on the admin "view order" pages.
Further still, you can add the affiliate in interchange's affiliate manager
(making sure the id you are passing via mv_pc is the same as the id you set
up in the affiliate manager) and then you can run the order and traffic
reports against each affiliate.  It's really nice for tracking traffic and
order origination.

[timed-build ...] with an embedded search-region would be the way to
go.

	[timed-build file="timed/cat.[cgi name=cat filter=filesafe]" minutes=60]

	[search-region arg="
				sf=category

	...

Bear in mind that one does not have to do this inside IC but can use an
external daemon/process of whatever sort to rebuild these caches on a periodic 
(or otherwise) basis.  It doesn't even have to be on the same machine.

There are COUNTLESS opportunities to cache or pre-cook data in ic.

You need the keep=1 to prevent transforming the variable....

OK, I've figured out how to get debugging output, and I can see that the form 
variable above is not getting passed to the module as the others are. So just 
how do I make sure that this variable gets included in values that are sent 
to the module?

Still need some specs on %result too, please.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <004c01c2c8ed$0fe7a980$6501a8c0@ci.com>

(1)  Is it a good idea to keep multiple stores (small stores with 5 - 50
items) in one Catalog?  And add a username for each store owner and make
them a member of the Merchandising & Orders/Sales group.
My challenge is limiting each store owners to view only the products they
entered.  Reading through the Interchange Manual, I found that I could use
the TableRestrict directive in Catalog.cfg, but I am not sure if it is the
best way to do this.

(2)  Is there a way to edit Catalog.cfg through IC edit, or through File
manager without affecting the file attribute?

Thanks!

I upgraded from 7.1 to 8.0 with no problems. Of course in 8.0 by default 
you get Apache 2.0 so I did not install the apache rpm and instead built 
my own 1.3.27 using apachetoolbox.com

After the upgrade I did not even re-install IC.. just restored and all 
was well. I installed originally from the tarball.

I have had serious issues with my server upgrade to redhat 8.0. The 
issue that I had was that redhat ships with the new redhat is perl 5.8.0 
and it would give me internal server 500 errors whenever I try and 
access the design section. Now given this is interchange 4.8.6, I plan 
to test with the 4.8.7 later today and hope that helps. But in short, I 
did have problems running interchange 4.8.6 on a redhat 8.0 server.

(Yes I realize that I could reinstall perl and probably fix this 
problem, but since the cvs version of interchange runs on redhat's perl 
5.8.0 I am reluctant to do so. For now I prefer the cvs version anyway)

Just for a status update. I did try 4.8.7 with RedHat 8 (with perl 
5.8.0) and it now works where 4.8.6 once failed. So as long as you are 
planning on running 4.8.7 or the CVS build you should be safe to use 
Redhat 8.

This is a known problem if you don't have a perl with GDBM or Berkeley
DB built. The answer is to compile gdbm and install a new Perl.

You can temporarily work around the problem by commenting out any lines
which begin with "Database ichelp" in ICDIR/catalog_before.cfg; but
it is not a permanent solution, because you will still be limited
to 1000-byte DBM records in the database.

If you migrated *all* your databases to SQL, it would work too, but
that is fairly hard.

I bet if you had typed "ichelp import failed" into the search box
at the icdevgroup.org web site, you could have found this on your
own.

It should work, but this capability has only been used extensively in one
or two places I know of, and not by me. I can't vouch for its efficacy.

I have Interchange V4.9.5 running on a clean (non-upgrade) install of RH8
with the standard RH install of Apache 2, MySQL, and Perl.
I did the CPAN updates of DBI and kitchensink install of the bundle, and a 
source build of Interchange. (note: This is not running under mod_perl and is 
not a heavily used production system)
Recently there have been some updates to the RH rpm of MySQL which caused me 
some very minor errors, I would apply all patches and upgrades <before> the 
install of Interchange.

My heavy load production box is still running RH 7.3 and has been getting 
updates via the RedHat Network, with their (RedHat's) new end of life 
statements, I have been considering moving my programming box to Debian and 
testing the waters with that.

Hi Mike,

this is what I did, but with a products table containing over 20k of 
SKU's.  Presuming that you have mySQL up and running and have not 
altered the columns, it is rather easy.  Look in the dbconf folder for 
that catalog you are working on, you'll see a default_db and a mysql 
folder...  If in the default_db you rename the products.dbm file to 
something else and create the products.mysql file in teh mysql folder, 
then all you should need to do is be sure that your DSN information is 
loaded for accessing mySQL and then restart IC.  

I ran into complications at this point, primarily because I had screwed 
with the format of the products table, but after messing with it, it 
loaded and works great...

Barry

ps. just a side note, if you have added/altered tables in the default_db 
folder, be sure to move copies of those .dbm files into the mysql folder 
too!!!

Hi Tina

It could be, you have to think about some things first:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icfaq06%2e04

As for using ADMIN, yes I believe you have to add a field in the products
table named 'owner'. There is stuff in the archives on this.

I am going down this road, what I am doing is designing an ADMIN-lite for
the front end (vendor section), that has bare necessity functionality for
*any vendor. This allows me to better control the layout of item
insert/editing, order views, etc, and not miss out on any great upgrades
from the devgroup in ADMIN. You can copy admin pages into pages/admin and
they will override the lib/UI/pages/admin/. So you can play with them there.

When your dealing with multiple vendors, there is a lot to think about, and
even more when these vendors will be maintaining their own stock.

Paul

It can be used for tracking affiliates (look @ affilliates in the admin) it
is also used for caching purposes (it is being added to all the links, so if
a customer clicks in twice to the same link it will look like a different
url, so the browser will make a new request instead of just showing a page
from your cache).

BTW I've been trying to get rid of this mv_pc 'cause I think it makes
problems for the search engines but I was unsuccessful.

We're using IC 4.6 (don't ask) and we have two stores set up sharing the
same catalog. One is the live store, and one is the development store.
They function the same, write to the same database, etc. What we would
like to do is move the edited pages from the development store to the
live store. 

We tried to accomplish this by taking the edited files (regions,
templates, pages) and copying them to their respective directories on
the live store directory. This failed horribly. 

Is there something that we need to be wary of, or is there an easier
way to do this?

Mike Heins has done some really great work in 4.9 in this vein, if I 
understand it correctly.  You might try downloading it and checking out the 
'Content' section.

Another method is to use CVS, with two separate catalogs, each one as a 
branch of the source code.  Then I merge the development changes into the 
live catalog.  The CVS how-to I wrote doesn't cover it very well, but it 
might help you get started.

An updated version is available at:

http://www.icdevgroup.org/~danb/ic_howto_cvs.html

And I'll be committing it to the IC docs RSN.

Best,
Dan

Hi all,

I'm running interchange 4.9.5 on a Solaris 5.8 system and I'm noticing 
that I'm unable to stop an interchange process with out a kill of the 
PID. If I try to use the /opt/interchange/bin/interchange --stop I get 
the following error

bin/interchange --stop
The previous Interchange server was not running and probably
terminated with an error.
Killing Interchange server 0 with TERM.
Terminated

The PID file is setup in interchange.cfg to be: 
/opt/interchange/etc/interchange.pid and it does exist with the correct 
PID number. So I am not sure why I can't stop the server. I also get the 
same problem with doing a restart, but then I get multiple processes.

I didn't have any problems when I was running 4.8.6, this just started 
after installing 4.9.5

Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm missing??

Thanks,
Dorothy

Hi

I never used 4.6 but I assume it is pretty similar to 4.8. As long as you
have used [area] or [page] and haven't hardcoded links in pages, you should
be able to just copy them over, I do that with my dev/live store.  Also be
aware of the paths for images, don't hard code them either, that is where
__IMAGE_DIR__ and such come into play.

The one thing I never did was try to copy over templates. I seem to remember
there being an issue with that. You may want to recreate the template in
your live store and copy/paste the code for the templates from the dev
store. I think if you are just placing the template into directories, it may
not like it. I rememebr I could not just do that, so I got in the habbit of
creating the template and pasting the code. Infact, if I rememebr correctly
I had to go back and reset all the templates (in the pages) also. (this was
all in 4.8.3) I have not had to do it since.

Anyways, in short, IMO I think the problem is with the copying over of
templates (not the pages), but I could be wrong.

Like Dan said, 4.9 could have something better... I dunno

I saw this same issue when I was testing 4.9.5 out on a solaris 7 box. 
It looked to me like the 'interchange --stop' command was overwriting
the pid file before it read its contents.  You can see this by checking
the pid file before and after you run the stop command.

Hope that sheds some light on the problem,

That's exactly what is happening.  How did you fix it?
