Mike Heins handled (already in 1996) for me 850 000 records (an export of the complete Baker & Taylor database of books in print) with over 7000 categories (included two levels of subcategorization) on a miserable Pentium little machine over A MODEM line (!) and set up correct searches, indexing, static builts and the like in a lower two digit number of hours. I remember exactly the first time I was able to do the first ISBN search for a book and IT WAS FAST !! I was too ignorant to recognize at that time how good that "fastness" really was, but it was so amazing that I NEVER lost confidence in the whole MiniVend program later on even after (for completely other reasons) my project failed . In 1996 MV was still so small that it seemed to be easy to learn for a complete outsider (like me) to the web design and programmer community. Today it has grown, got all the stuff you can imagine to to build equals to the "other famous bookstores" out there and you have not only Mike Heins alone, but the whole heavy weight of the Akopia/RedHat team with it. So, if you are not the poorest of "schmocks" out there (like me) than my recommendation is to get this help. It's well worth it. Oh, and then today you could do the whole stuff with XML and that's REALLY *something*. 8-) Birgitt From: jon at akopia.com (Jon Jensen ) Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 13:16:05 -0600 (CST) Subject: [ic] Follow up: Follow up: Interchange runs, then dies On Wed, 28 Feb 2001, Jonathan Melhuish wrote: > I have finally managed to get my test server up and running by: > > * Deleting the RPM and installing from the tarball > * Changing the permissions on the catalogs > * Changing the permissions of the socket file > > Unfortunately, I now have to change the permissions on the socket file > every time I restart IC.

By supported, I mean color-coding and formatting (much like HTML is color-coded and formatted now). Would anyone be willing to volunteer to develop this? In a related vein, the lead developer of Jext (http://www.jext.org), Romain Guy, graciously volunteered to write a module to parse/colorize/format interchange tags after I asked him about it. I'm not sure when he'll be done with it though. FYI, Jext is a powerful 100% pure Java programmer's text editor. Mainly written for programmers, Jext was designed from the ground up to suit your needs. From beginner to skilled coder, everyone should find what they need in this editor.

That is one part, and the other part was to be some tag insertion stuff, like a table menu look-alike for loop/item-list/search-list which would generate a template like: <table> <!--[item-list]--> <tr class=foo> <td class=bar> [item-code] </td> <td class=bar> [item-field foo] </td> </tr> <!--[/item-list]--> </table> and understand that the item-list needed to be carried around with it; and/or some tag inserters that would do templates with the proper attribute names.

Hi All, I run the 4.6.3 interchange server, and it all works fine on the normal webserver. But when I try to chech out using a secure server, or call pages on the secure server (except for the main index page) I get a 404 Error. The secure server itself works fine, and I can browse all folders on the secure server (has been activated for test purposes). I can access the main index page through the secure server (https://secure.myprovider.com/~myaccount/construct). If I try to view a different page on my secure server, then I also get a 404 error. In my opinion this is strange, since when I access http://www.mydomain.net/construct I see the same directory structure as when I call https://secure.myprovider.com/~myaccount/construct. I did notice, however, that the IP addresses of the regular server and the secure server are different, but since the hosting provider has installed the application themselves on two different virtual servers (two different IP's), it should work. Is there anyone who knows what I did wrong and how I can get this secure server to work properly with Interchange. I simply cannot figure out why I get this error. Help highly appreciated.

You'd be best off to use a payment gateway like Verisign, CyberCash, or AuthorizeNet, there are modules already for these gateways. Your merchant account will need to be compatible with the gateway you choose. The system is setup so that when the user presses 'Checkout' the info is sent from IC to Payment Gateway (through a module). The response codes are then sent back to IC which interprets what to do (accept the order or fail with an error). The transaction is logged with the gateway which ultimately ends up in your merchant account.

Nick, There are several ways you can take the credit card information. #1. you can take the credit card information and leave the order as pending until you can manually authorize it. #2. You can do what is called a live capture or live authorization, whiuch takes the credit card info and transfers it through a gateway that you are useing, (such as cybercash or authorize net) Than if the card is approved the order is approved and money is put in your account and you ship the product. The only way to learn is roll up your sleves and dig in.

So what else could be done to solve this problem. Especially, I'd like to know if anyone has got MiniVend / Interchange working properly with no cookies, proxy server enabled and client web access via T-Online. Any help highly appreciated.

Single server, individual domains, virtually hosted, probably but not necessarily using MySql. (We have test stores successfully running with internal and MySql db's). We setup and maintain the stores and content for the vendors/clients. The remuneration model is commission based. We get a commission on each completed sale/transaction by any of the stores/vendors. Scenario 1 (what we are doing now): In order to track commissions earned, we allow each of the vendors to mange their own orders but do not allow them to delete orders from the database. We log on to each store once a month, download all the orders, calculate commissions offline and delete completed orders subsequently. Scenario 2 (what we would like to do): Similar to above but mirror all the orders from all the stores in a separate database so we don't have to log on to each store/catalog separately. This "consolidated" order database is not accessible by the individual store owners but should reflect any changes the store owners make to their own order databases (e.g. order status). Once we have our commission numbers, we delete the completed/fulfilled orders from the "consolidated" database and this process should then automatically delete the corresponding order from the appropriate vendor database. Scenario 3 (just fishing): All the vendors share a common order database but can view/edit/mange only their own store specific orders (via some vendor ID field/identifier?). If there are no security issues with this approach, it might be the most elegant. Is anyone doing anything similar? Is there an altogether better way? And how would one implement such a solution in IC? (IC 4.6.3 / Apache / RH Linux7) Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

The category selection (code below) seems to look for the first field in the cat.txt file and select it. Later the simple demo searchs the products file for items belonging to the category selected from cat. The problem seems to be that the field selected in cat and searched for in products does not exist in products. The "name" field does. When I change <OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]">[loop-data cat name] to: <OPTION VALUE="[loop-field name]">[loop-data cat name] all categories are returned. Maybe OPTION VALUE is left with the previously assigned value: "" I can add the "code" field to products or change the "code" field in cat to match a field in products to make the search work right but neither is really satisfactory. What I would like to do is to make OPTION VALUE be the "name" and not the "code" field.

Do I have to re-run makecat with the new domain perameters in order to change the domain name used in a catalog, or can I just edit the catalog.cfg file (or some other one) with the new domain name? If I must re-run makecat and I choose not to copy the "construct" templates will makecat just leave everything that's in the catalog directory as it is and just create a new catalog.cfg?

I'm going to use the "Construct Something" templates to create my own site. I have dealers and customers and I want the to each get different prices. When you enter the demo site from an affiliate site there is a box explaining that if a "dealer" logs in they will/can see discounted prices. In the administration area I found the check box to set if a customer is a dealer or not, but I cant find how to set the discount they are entitled to. I've looked in each of the pdf manuals, the faq and used the search but I cant find the answer. What do I do?

That happens to be one more than the 50 limit set on the RobotLimit directive in my catalog.cfg file. 2) when ever I do this, I get the error in the logs saying: westerbeke /cgi-bin/westerbeke/process.html WARNING: POSSIBLE BAD ROBOT. 51 accesses with no 30 second pause. (that relates to the number above) 3) Notice also that the host URL resolves out to my local host 127.0.0.1 instead of my standard URL. 4) This does not happen in IE. IE does not work either, however when I use IE I get sent to the expired.html page. I have read over the RobotLimit messages in the archive and it appears that increasing this limit will only increase the amount of time needed before I get the error. Do you think that the setting for RobotLimit is the problem? Any ideas why I get two different erroneous responses from two different browsers? The responses do not "seem" related. Why would this error resolve out to 127.0.0.1? Is there a setting I should change in my catalog.cfg? Thanks for any input.

At some point I recall Mike saying that the easiest way to do this would be to create different products for each of the various sizes. For example--- Say you sell a sweatshirt with a penguin on it. It comes in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. The easiest way of handling this is to create separate sku's (part numbers or products) for each different size. This may sound silly at first, but it actually makes sense because it allows you and their for the system to track properly the sales of the individual sizes. (Think for a moment of inventory tracking - If all the sizes were lumped into one sum quantity, how would you know if you were out of Extra Large?) If it was absolutely necessary to use only one sku for the penguin shirt the only way I can think of maintaining and linking the quantities on hand as well as the different sizes would be some kind of convolution with a joined query. (And sorry I can't help, I'm not that good with Interchange yet, but it would be something to bounce off someone with a little more experience =) Anyway, hope this helps you a little, and best of luck! -- 0==----------=^=----------==0 Valankar (aka Dwagon) <humor> "Just remember: If life didn't suck we would all fly off the earth." </humor> From: bappliance1 at qwest.net (Bappliance1 ) Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2001 11:50:10 -0800 Subject: [ic] Help?

There was absolutely nothing critical in my reply. The Interchange solution is currently far from a plug-and-play solution and does require a level of technical skill that the average person looking to install a shopping cart may not possess. This does not mean that this person is a worthless individual, there is nothing odd about looking for a simple ecommerce solution, and this implication was not made. The implication that the Interchange solution may not currently be geared to a user looking for a plug-and-play solution is certainly not a criticizing comment against either Interchange or the user attempting to implement it.

The problem then is it becomes like the blind leading the blind. All the knowledgeable users are in the devel list and everyone in the normal list is left helpless. I think a better solution would be to use canned responses. When someone asks a question that has been answered in the discusssion forum before, just reply with something like: That issue was discussed in the mailing list previously, you can search the archive at http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/htsearch . If you don't find the information you are looking for, let us know and we will try to help from there. I think this would work fine for everyone involved. I am certain that the people asking the question would have no problem checking the archive first (I suspect many do not know the archive exists, finding the archive search from developer.akopia.com is not very intuitive) and then if they still have a question they can post on the list again.

I agree with Jeff. But we should also mention URL's to the searchable documention, the PDF download URL, the FAQ, in addition to the mailing list search. Look at the linux-kernel mailing list.

I sort of got it working by changing some of the code so it was searching by actual category name instead of the code it was using. But now I have a problem.... I can not get coordinated searches to actually coordinate. From my reading of the documentation, I should use mv_search_map to specify the variable names being used to hold the searchspecs, and turn on mv_coordinate, and then set the mv_search_fields... I would think this would end up searching the first field specified (category) for the value in input field "search1", and the second field(s) (:title,author,comment,display) for the value in the second input field "search2". Instead, it seems to be searching all fields for either value. is each field in the ":title,author,comment,display" consdidered to be separate, and therefore require that I provide a unique search value for each one instead of just one for the group? The docs on using this ":field,field" notation is really vague.

I tried to put a duplicate catalog line in the interchange.cfg, but it appears that it only looks at the first one for a given store name. If I set this up as a different store name, won't it loose access to the basket/etc they were browsing in when they were in insecure mode?

In this case a search on blue would return products 1 and 3, a search on all would return 2 and 3. A search on this and blue would return only 1. Assuming that you disabled or searching. The problem is that this only works well with smaller catalogs and a low number of categories columns. If you have 16 category columns and 27,000 items this is simply not the right way to do it. Mr. Miller's example seems more versatile to me. From: rapier at psc.edu (Chris Rapier ) Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2001 17:51:41 -0500 Subject: [ic] Ergent..Please help.

I've seen > several solutions in the past couple of weeks alone. The only problem with searching the mailing list is that you still need to know how to phrase the question. Without the right language you'll get buried in your results. Users need to read the documentation as fully as possible first, the search the archive. Also, WRT to the on line documentation. Is is possible to give us the option of having the entire document in one file (and could we do this with the old minivend 4 docs like they used to be)? It gives us the option of being able to do keyword searches. Frames and documents that are broken down into small pages simply suck for searching like that.

If you go to developer.akopia.com, there is a clearly marked section for "Documentation". That's one click (and even an unpatented one..:-). There is another clearly marked section "Mail list archives". That's aother one click. (Now two for one and still for half the price of free). Are you saying people access the mailing list from somewhere, where they don't come in over the developer.akopia.com page ? Or do you expect a zero click option for the documentation ?

I think Mike Heins said it quite nicely this morning : Interchange is less of a car and more of an engine. It has some vehicle features, but it doesn't sport all models from motor-scooter to semi-trailer. You can build any of those out of the engine. It is obvious that IC was not designed to be a plug and play intuitive solution (though its UI makes a strong effort in that direction). May be that's now backfiring. The UI is that convincingly click, cut and paste that people mistakenly don't "look under the hood" anymore. May be the top banner on the mailing list should be redesigned. Instead of putting Akopia's Logo up there, it would be a place where a big, fat link to the docs and FAQs should stare into our face all the time.

Because the table is rather large we put the directive: 'NoImport subscriber' in catalog.cfg There is no content in the table subscriber.txt (except for the field names) in the products directory. Product directory also contains: subscriber.sql Directory dbconf/mysql contains table description in subscriber.mysql with contents: ----- Begin subscriber.mysql ----- # MiniVend database definition Database subscriber subscriber.txt __SQLDSN__ #ifdef SQLUSER Database subscriber USER __SQLUSER__ #endif #ifdef SQLPASS Database subscriber PASS __SQLPASS__ #endif ----- End subscriber.mysql ----- SQLDSN, SQLUSER, and SQLPASS are being set properly in catalog.cfg (they work with other mySQL tables in same catalog). We have successfully used this same table definition for a smaller table. However, it seems that IC tries to read/import the table at startup time and waits (hang up?) forever. My understanding of IC is that the size of a mySQL table (when NoImport is set) should not have any impact on the startup/configuration stage, should it? Unfortunately, it appears that it HAS an impact! What could be wrong here? Has anyone experienced the same problem? Thanks for your help. Best regards, Ton From: ton at verhagen.net (Ton Verhagen ) Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2001 11:38:09 +0100 Subject: [ic] HAS_LIMIT not documented (was: Large mySQL tables kill IC Dear All, I noticed that the configuration directive HAS_LIMIT is not documented. Use this directive for large mySQl tables, or other SQl engines which have 'limit' support implemented. If it is not used for large mySQl tables, IC will wait virtually forever at server startup. This is caused by IC doing a: 'select * from table' in subroutine list_fields (lib/Vend/Table/DBI.pm). If you set HAS_LIMIT, the select will read: 'select * fom table limit 1'. A real time/memory saver! Hope this helps.

I know that many people want this. Here is a step by step sollution(at least this works to me) 1)Find all your product that have sizes(duh!) 2)You then have to add new rows in the table "pricing". U add all the sizes that u have (SMALL,LARGE,XL.....whatever sizes u have). If u don't know sql, u can easily do it with MySQLMan.It's free.( http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/ ).It's a web interface to your mysql server.(if u have any questions about that,send me a mail). But be careful!! There is one problem.....There can't be 2 same sizes... So u can do is something like that : for the sizes of the 1st product add a row like size1-a size1-b size1-b for the 2nd product : size2-a size2-b size2-c 3)Now go to the product pages. Add a new product and in the field "size" add something like that : If u added a row in the pricing table called "XL", then add in size1-a=Extra Large The first part(before "=" is the row in the pricing table.The second part(Extra Large) is what u want the customers to see. If u have multiple sizes,u have to add commas : size1-a=Small,size1-b=Large,size1-b=Extra Large for the second product : size2-a=Extra Small size2-b=Small 4)Go to the pricing table through your UI(go to Item menu-->Choose a product-->Pricing. (The pricing menu is located under the "Item list and the Create new item" bar). 5)Find the sizes for the products and add the prices. 6)Go to your catalog.cfg. 7)Find the CommonAdjust line and add CommonAdjust ==size:pricing ;products:price, 8)From the UI,"apply changes" 9)That's it!! I was thinking of doing this : Instead of the price to be displayed as text,to be displayed in a text form.So....when a user chooses a new size,somehow(javasript)the new price will be displayed in the text field so he won't have to go every time to the basket to see how much this particular size cost. Or!!Maybe i can just do this! While adding a new product,i can something like this : 1)Give as the product price the smallest sizes price.(lets say 40$) Then in the size field i can do something like size1-a=Small(40$) -->(this will be the default price) size1-b=Large(50$) size1-c=XLarge(50$) So the user will know how much he will pay.... Great! I did enough "thinking" for one day!! haha!! time to rest. Please if u have any questions or ideas,let me know!

Using "f" is correct for this. m is a special mode which allows you to iterate over the shopping cart and assign a shipping cost per item, and pass the results to chain_cost. I don't see why it would loop endlessly here, but it is possible it could. You should not have that problem with "f", and I can't see why you would short of forgetting to reconfig the catalog after changing from m. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. -- Wernher Von Braun From: mikeh at minivend.com (Mike Heins ) Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 10:46:21 -0500 Subject: [ic] sorting not working Quoting Ferenc Kiraly (feri@arxeltribe.com): > Hi! > > I have to following in my product catalog: > > [search-region more=1 search=" > st=db > ra=yes > ml=5 > "] > .... > [search-list] > [sort merchandising:featured:r products:category products:title] > ... > [/search-list] > [more-list]pages: [more][/more-list] > [/search-region] > > > The sorting works correctly only after I have browsed the pages > by following the [more-list][more][/more-list] links.

Eric, My company has done CCVS integration to Minivend 4.04a. We used 4.04a due to the hacker testing (its been proven safe). If EWeek does another test session against IC, I'll move my customers up at that point.... > With CyberCash filing > Chapter 11, some > of my customers have contacted me about other alternatives. CCVS has some good sides and some bad sides. First off, you will need a modem and $500 for the license. THAT license is for ONE VENDOR (one merchant account). This is not a good/bad thing in itself, its just a fact. The modem must be capable of 1200 baud, NO ERROR CORRECTION!. So, if you go use a new modem, you better find out how to kill error correction in it. Oh, each additional vendor (where your putting the money into another bank account) is gonna be $300 per account. Its reasonable, and I recommend the yearly support (new versions, call for programming help, etc). Second, there are not many merchant connectors who know what CCVS is (let alone how to spell it). In fact, they will fight you as they want to sell you their product. Be careful, CCVS is WAY more powerful than their products (and that's what ticks them off, you have FULL control over every transaction). Check around with NOVAS, First Data. Again, Redhat has the page that shows who they are compatible with. Now for some GOOD stuff. With CCVS, you can get a cheaper rate for your credit cards (and I mean a LOT!). That's how I was able to startup my business and stay ahead of all the others. To connect CCVS into Minivend (or IC), you can do so using the Globalsub. Check out Redhats pages. There are some on PERL. You will have to make CCVS emulate the Cybercash calls to a point, but it will work. I don't remember, but most were in the Util.pm file. Actually, I have a PERL guru who did the work, I'm more a systems/network monkey myself. Ah, and one more bad thing... Bank Debit cards are a real pain in the u-know-where. Here's why. If you "auth" a visa CREDIT card, it just checks to see if the balance is available (They want a T-shirt for $20, sure, they have a credit limit of $5000). The is NO charge YET. You have to make a "sale" against a previously authed charge.... Ahhh, but look what happens with a DEBIT card, the minute you do a "auth" to see if the card is good, the bank TAKES the money then and there! If you don't do the "SALE", the money is in limbo and you've got one P.O.ed customer! In fact, you will get a call from customers saying "Hey, you have my money". IN fact, you dont, the bank is "HOLDING" it (now you see why I was complaining about the banks <grin>). BUT WAIT, THERES MORE! The banks are evil mean Mo-fos. They will auth a card but DENY the AVS (Address Verification) THEREBY making you, the merchant, responsible to take the sale... If it fails, your out the merchandize... In fact, minivend can see that the AVS failed and wont let the sale go thru, YET the card is charged during the auth... NASTY NASTY!!!! I am not trying to discourge you, but you have a lot to do. Obviously, I can not give out all my secrets (like the integration), right now, its giving my business a lead over cybercash. I will say this, once you have it working and tested, its a joy. You can also write your own connector via PHP, C code, Python or TCL. > In case you had not heard, here's the press releases from CyberCash: > > http://www.cybercash.com/restructure/ Eric - Between you and me, its music to my ears.

Any time you want to list the categories, then I just iterate with a loop. I got the idea from the simple demo store, although it was not consistently implemented. Some pages would show the category as can,bottle, and others would break it out with a line for each one.

I did have an apache problem this morning as well. Some old IP's for virtualhosts showed up after being deleted 3 months ago. I went and deleted those IP's from the http.conf file and then had an error about a missing error_log file. I looked in var/log/ and couldn't even fing httpd directory. So I created it and the error_log file and restarted apache and it was up and running again, but interchange died. It says its started when I manually start the service but I keep getting that error message: We're sorry, the Interchange server is unavailable...

If I must re-run makecat and I choose not to copy the "construct" templates will makecat just leave everything that's in the catalog directory as it is and just create a new catalog.cfg?

I did review the catalog error log and found the following type of error each time I "try to buy": 209.176.195.235 ItbSDYnT:209.176.195.235 - [01/March/2001:12:17:43 -0500] westerbeke /cgi-bin/westerbeke/process.html WARNING: POSSIBLE BAD ROBOT. 51 accesses with no 30 second pause. Does that mean anything to anyone? What is a ROBOT (as far as Interchange is concerned) and what can I do about a bad one. By the way, another interesting thing is that in Netscape I end up with a URL like this: http://127.0.0.1/process.html?mv_session_id=ItbSDYnT&mv_separate_items=0&mv_ click=munge_quantity&mv_doit=refresh&mv_username=&mv_oi1=11014&mv_order_item =11014&mv_order_quantity=%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d %3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d% 3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d%3d1 But in IE i end up with a simple: http://66.70.15.170/cgi-bin/westerbeke/expired.html Any MORE input?

For instance, if you restored an old copy of your products file which was missing some or all of the weights which you subsequently entered, you would probably see this message.

One of the more frustration ones is our inability to figure out how to get the userdb.txt file to be imported into a userdb.gdbm. Right now if you log in on our test site the error message we get is: Sorry, there was an error in processing this form action. Please report the error or try again later. (user database userdb does not exist. ) We used the login example from the Documentation but seem to get the error all the time. We are not trying anything fancy and I have been through the Documentation a couple times. If I missed something in the Documentation can you point me to the right pdf and page number? Is there something in the catalog.cfg that tells interchange were the userdb.txt or userdb.gdbm is or should be. I realize I am probably missing some small detail, and would appreciate any help in finding out what that is. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I know from the list that Verisign bought Signio (sp?) a while back, but having not used the product, that's about all I know. I checked out Verisign's site quickly, and I'm guessing that the "PayFlow" software is what I'd be looking for? How does the interface compare to CyberCash from the customer's end? Most of my clients have liked the flex that the CyberCash cash register website has given them for being able to pull reports or manually run auths/returns. Does Verisign offer something similar? I'm assuming from what I've read on the list that with the latest IC it should just be a matter of switching out a couple of config files to move a site from CC to Verisign. Are there any gotchas I should be on the lookout for? Thanks much!

Here's a model scenario - I have 1000 identical DVDs in inventory, and I want to sell them at different prices - say $20, $35, and $50, depending on the type of customer.

Greetings All, I have searched the archives for an answer and maybe I am not searching for the right words, but I can not seem to find a way to "force" database recreation. I have a file called userdb.txt that I would like to become my userdb. At one time it did. When I first placed this file in the CATALOG/products/ directory it created a .gdbm file called userdb.gdbm. I then deleted this file (I am currently in learning/testing mode) thinking that it would automatically recreate when I tried to do anything with the user database. Now when I look in the CATALOG/products/ directory all I see is userdb.txt, products.gdbm and products.txt. Why is my userdb.gdbm file not reappearing. Am I assuming correctly, that if this file is not here, that the userdb database is not there either? I guess the bottom line question is .. how do I force the creation / recreation of this database?

At the moment I'm concentrating on the example code on etc/receipt.html. I see the place on the page where the "get_download" subroutine is created, but it doesn't ever appear to be called! The page query/order_details.html has a similiar structure, and it adds a call to get_download for each item in the order, as given here.

My questions are: 1. On etc/receipt.html in the simple demo, how are the download links created? 2. How can I get mine to show up? :) I followed the simple model closely, and nothing is displaying on the page, and nothing is reported in the error logs.

Does Verisign > offer something similar? Hello Eric! Yes that's true, Verisign did purchase Signio awhile back, therefore the modules in IC are still referred to as 'Signio'. The package you will need is PayFlow Pro which is the equivalent to Cybercash's gateway system. If you'd like to checkout the interface, sign up for a test account and you'll be able to mess around with Payflow Pro in test mode. I have not seen Cybercash's interface due to the expensive startup fees and monthly charges. Our customers have been happy with PayFlow Pro's online interface and we are using it ourselves for manual transactions for internet services and automatic transactions with our ecommerce site: http://www.mygamewear.com . It's fairly easy to do manual auths and refunds as well as automatic transactions using the PfPro interface. > I'm assuming from what I've read on the list that with the latest IC it > should just be a matter of switching out a couple of config files to move a > site from CC to Verisign.

I made one change to that module to allow for the return of errors into the Credit Card heading of the demo store. I'd setup a test account with verisign and a test demo store to make sure it works on your system. You'll need to download the PfPro files for your platform and get those up and running as well. If you run alpha boxes I spent quite a bit of time getting the JVM + PfPro + IC to work correctly but that is what's running on MyGamewear.com.

Its in the archives: http://developer.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/2001/msg01180.html This method uses a separate pricing table and allows customer specific, item specific pricing with a fallback to banded prices and if neither are found it falls back to the price in the products table.

Yahoo stores last year let one enter the price into a get string, not even a hidden string. At least the seed catalog store I use did.

Akopia put IC through the Openhack test and that was organized by eWeek (which I think is part of zd.net) and everyone remembers the outcome. It could always be possible that some tiny thingy is overlooked in the IC code, it's written by humans afterall. :-) On the other hand I can't overlook that many of those articles are hype or biased or at least no outsider can make an informed judgement about the integrity of what is written. So, it's clear, I can't stand the press. ;-) Just thought it would be wise to comment on that article upfront, because it would come up most probably anyway.

So go through and remove the '#' in front of each logDebug statement. Turn debugging on for interchange and place a test order. You should then see each piece of the authorizenet module being called.

Makes perfect sense to **me**. :-) We're looking at ways clients and other sites can transmit their catalog data to us. The analogy would be RDF/RSS for articles. Mostly now we ftp various database structures. I'm wondering if there is some standard XML, SGML, (*ML) markup (and there are probably many) that clients or sites so inclined might use. We upload some of our catalog data to other vertical sites and it seems to me that we could receive such uploads ourselves.

You may be able to set it up based on the userdb as you started to do. This is what I use (thanks to Mike Heins) in one of our catalogs to determine dealer or no dealer, it configs the price field prior to everything starting up (of course the customer has to log in for it to be effective). You should be able to substitute SalesTax for PriceField, and put tax_exempt field in UserDB and define it, then if a customer is defined in the user db as tax exempt, and they log in, then set the SalesTax to be empty, and no tax should be charged.... In the catalog.cfg I have: UserDB default scratch dealer AutoLoad <<EOF [calc] if ($Scratch->{dealer}) { $Config->{PriceField} = 'w_price'; } return; [/calc] EOF yours might look like: UserDB default scratch tax_exempt AutoLoad <<EOF [calc] if ($Scratch->{tax_exempt}) { $Config->{SalesTax} = ' '; } return; [/calc] EOF and of course you need the extra field in userdb, and you will need to put a value in that field if the user is to be tax exempt.

When entering a new item into the system, you can select what category it goes it, or create a new one. If you do create a new category, it is NOT added to the cat.txt file of categories. Why not? I had a situation today that when I went into the Design area and tried to create a new category, it would EDIT one of the current entries - not ADD one.

Hey Gang, After doing a LOT of messing around, I finally figured out how to make quantity discounts work for ALL users. I'm really surprised that this information was no where in any docs or archives I researched. SO for the benefit of all, here it is: I needed price breaks at 10 pieces, 25 pieces, 50 pieces, and 100 pieces. Obviously you don't need to use these - only fill in the blanks when needed. This is based on the Construct Something demo. Note that Pricing_group is not really used. Part of the catalog.cfg file: PriceField price CommonAdjust pricing:price_group,q10,q25,q50,q100: ;:price ;$ AutoModifier pricing:price_group AutoModifier products:gift_cert UserDB default scratch dealer Autoload <<EOR [perl] $Config->{PriceField} = 'no_price'; [/perl] ==================================== Top of my /products/pricing.txt file: price_group sku q10 q25 q50 q100 18014 8.50 7.25 ==================================== Edited the /pages/quantity.html file to show desired quantity break points Also edited /pages/recurring_add.html and /pages/ord/checkout.html: removed the [if scratch dealer] and matching [/if] statements to make that code always true The sucker seems to work!

Have tried 'WideOpen yes', 'DomainTail no' plus setting 'IpHead' and 'IpQuad' etc. The only effect these settings bring about is to change the session file names so that these contain no or only part of the IP address. Nevertheless, when I start a session and fill the shopping cart on a machine in my LAN and then try to access the shopping cart of this session from another machine (using the same session id) the session is killed and can't even be accessed from the first machine where it had been initiated. I think this can only be due to the different IP addresses, which MV failes to ignore. Would I really have to tamper with 'Session.pm' to cope with changing IP addresses? Can anyone verify this problem (bug) -- or even better -- provide a solution or work-around?

This is the rub... I didn't want to require this. However, I was able to make everything work the way I wanted it to in the end. It seems that all I had to do was insert the "interpolate=1" into the [perl] tags I was using to update the values. I think this changes when it actually runs the code, and the end result is that one refresh makes everything happy. So, the below code now works fine with the addition of the interpolate.

IFAIK hand editing is your best current solution.

In the Construct Something demo, the banner files (a1,a2,a3.gif) are referenced in the templates. The files can be modified individually to make up the banner or you can add you own images into the templates. These templates are stored in the templates directory and its sub-dirs. The templates are made up of multiple parts. If you take the "leftright" template as an example. Its template file is in the templates dir. It is made up of LEFTRIGHT_TOP and LEFTRIGHT_BOTTOM files as found in the templates/regions directory. These two files put together make up a standard HTML file (with IC tags of course). LEFTRIGHT_TOP contains the banners that you are looking for. The top and bottom files also have include statements that load in components as found in the templates/components dir. These components are this such as vertical and horizontal promotional products, specials, etc... In the UI, you can select/change what template a given page uses by using the page editor under the content menu. What you see in this editor is defined by settings in the template file in the templates dir. The templates that are defined in the construct something example as fairly straightforward, the only real catch is that one must remember that they are made up of top and bottom components. If you change the structure of one, you will likely have to change it counterpart. I hope this helps people. youwillsave wrote: > I am just learning about this stuff too. Don't feel bad.

Hi - Hopefully someone can help me out here; I really need it... I can't get the GlobalSub for authorizenet, signio, etc. working. I created a simple script and put it in my /usr/lib/interchange/eg/globalsub directory (that's the directory created by the RPM install and makecat). I need to get Interchange to interface to a variety of different systems. Unfortunately right now I cant get custom payment processing to talk to anything at all... I don't actually know if the globalsub in question is getting found and executed. The error in the error.log file simply says: ... construct /cgi-bin/construct/process.html bad custom payment GlobalSub: authorizenet The script compiles fine with the GlobalSub, etc. tags removed (when I turn it into a regular Perl script for a minute). I've replaced the original authorizenet script with everything I can think of including a simple script that shouldn't do anything more than create a file. Even that doesn't work (no file is created, and the same error as above ends up in error.log). I've stripped this thing down to the point where its as lean as it can be. My /etc/interchange.cfg has an #include pointing to it; I've tried putting the #include in different parts of the file (no luck). At this point I'm not certain the thing is actually getting found and executed by Interchange. Been through the mailing list archives, and tried everything that looked applicable...

Odds are you are not changing that module, right? I don't understand where you expect me to put my JVM module. I didn't think it mattered where I put the source code for the JVM module. I am loading the module into the kernel (so far as I understand) and therefore it should be available to any perl code I execute on this machine. Sorry for being such a pain, I just didn't think it would be so difficult to do this once I had the JVM module working for perl on this machine.

Thoughts? People who have implemented such a thing? Yes and no. We wrote a parser that filtered the email, generated a post to the catalog and placed the order. (First post to establish session, second to place it.) We didn't use real XML, but a psuedo so the affiliates could just generate it in email. The idea was to send them a template daily and they could just fill in the blanks. It failed for political reasons. The distributors/affiliates saw it as more work even though that simple handshake would have provided tracking, billing and so forth. Oh well. Access and NT, no. Are they running the catalog on NT? With an Access backend? Or is that their inhouse system and this would be yet another input stream for orders?

You are probably missing some prerequisite modules. If you search the archives you will find more discussions on this subject. One quick check: strip out the comments and the GlobalSub control stuff, leaving only the perl subroutine. Then compile the subroutine and see what errors you get. Any error will cause the subroutine to be rejected as bad.

All I can find are little tidbits of information on it. Apparently it should be placed in the interchange.cfg file and I found this: 7.4. AllowGlobal *global* Specifies catalog identifiers that may define subroutines and UserTag entries that can operate with the full permissions of the server. DON'T USE THIS UNLESS THE CATALOG USER IS TRUSTED IMPLICITLY. Default is blank. AllowGlobal simple I have tried adding this line AllowGlobal simple to my interchange.cfg but when I try to execute embedded perl code that causes this error: failed safe check: require trapped by operation mask at (eval 106) line 2, <CON FIG> line 282. the error continues to occur even with that line added to my interchange.cfg file. The reason I want to know more about it is because I think it will solve the problems I seem to be having with executing Perl modules (specifically JVM) in my embedded Perl code. It is extremely frustrating because I am able to use this JVM module in regular Perl code, but when I try to execute it in the embedded Perl code, it fails. Also the most basic JVM code I could produce that works is: -------------------------------------------- use Jvm; new Jvm(); ts_obj(); print "\nComplete!\n"; sub ts_obj { print "Testing Object ...\n"; my $out = Jvm::getProperty("java.lang.System", "out", "Ljava/io/PrintStream; "); new Jvm(); $out->println("(Ljava/lang/String;)V", "Hello world!"); } -------------------------------------------- Can anyone suggest how I should write that in embedded perl (if I am ever able to access that module)? I would think I should just put this code into the interchange.cfg file (make it a global sub) and call that sub from my embedded perl code. Is that correct?

They could buy them in $5 amounts so if they wanted a $100 gift certiicate they just entered 20. If you did it in $1 increments that would be pretty easy. Just like entering a dollar value. If you accept fractional quantities then its even easier. Just make sure you can enter negative qaunts. I don't know if this is even possible but its somethign to keep in mind.

Marc, I found that you need to do the following to get it to work. 1. Get and install GNU make 2. Make sure you have all the perl libraries installed. 3. If on the no GUI logins, set LINES=25;COLUMNS=80;export LINES COLUMNS 4. If in the GUI make sure LINES and COLUMNS are set to your window. 5. Always start and stop IC from the IC user.

It *is* possible to use negative prices at least through minivend 4.03. That is quite useful for certain things like "Free Saturday delivery Father's Day Weekend Only" or $10 off if you mention etc.... We don't check for negative amounts in certificates; generally we only allow them for certain fixed increments and then name your price > $x.

What about returns? Returns? On a donation? :-) The whole point of this is to allow people who are getting books from our non-profit organization to easily make an extra contribution along with their order. There is no product to ship in this case, nor is there any concern over returns. I still haven't been able to think of a way to pull this off....

I'll have to get back to you on that, I've just noted some real weirdness in Order.pm thatI've asked Mike about, coz even _I_ can work out whats going on :-). Also It seems that a Route counter gets incremented even if you ask it not to in the catalog.cfg by adding "Route whatever increment 0" to the end!!!! However my gut tells me that your set up won't be affected, it the call goes through to counter_number() and the files does not exists and your not doing some really complicated mall stuff then you should not be affected. It only becomes a problem it you are running n shops from n different domains with n different routes but you want all shops to be able of handleing all the other shops products. I.e. purchase products from shops on different domains but chechout in just one of them and have all your products dealt with correctly.

I never could get those tests to work. I just did a make install and used the socket. I did find that if I use many different users with the same ic server I had to make the socket permissions 777 and setuid and setgid I run my apache server as nouser and nogroup with suexec. I have each catalog use vlink. It is copied to the cgi-bin directory as catalog name. It is owned by the user and by the interch group I setup. After I start IC all new files created by IC in the users catalog directory are owned by the IC users. If you want them owned by the catalog user I have found they have to have group write access -rw-rw-r--. This is only if you want the owner of the files to be the catalog owner. I do have the groups setgid. I hope this helps. The three demo catalogs all work. My etc/socket is -rwsrwsrwx in the interchange user directory. I set the mode after I restart interchange.

Check the docs on the SafeUntrap directive for interchange.cfg; that may be coming into play here.

That document is still called mvtags, and in IC 4.6.x it is generated when you install Interchange. It appears in your untarred Interchange directory as pod/mvtags.pod and in your installed Interchange software directory as a manpage in doc/mvtags.8. Interchange 4.7 and higher will have ictags as one of the standard docs in the usual places all the other docs are.

There is no existing gift certificate in the "simple" store from which I started the project. ;-) That is why I didn't just relabel it. I did not know it existed. Now, seeing how they do it in the construct demo, it's a tricky bit that simply makes the customer THINK they are entering a price, but in actuality they are putting in the quantity field. This makes it conceptually better for the donor, but doesn't require any changes the the paradigm of how the bookstore works.

Check out my patch .... http://www.morpheux.org/interchange/patches/interchagne.4.6.3-order.pm.diff.gz and http://www.morpheux.org/interchange/patches/interchagne.4.6.3-order.pm.diff.README I've tested it on two mall setups and the order numbers for each route are now independant of each other inside a cataloge. It is now important to get the counter and increment arguments for each route correct in the catalog.cfg file. Counters will only be incremented for orders containing products that have that route attached to them. I'm still trying to find out why the $main->{counter} is used. And the addidtion of a + unary operator has me foxed :-) Yours Murray -- ____ \__/ Murray Gibbins murray@scotweb.ltd.uk / \ Programmer _ \__/ _ ================================================ \\ || // Scotweb Limited, info@scotweb.ltd.uk \\||// 13a Albert Terrace, http://www.scotweb.ltd.uk \||/ Edinburgh EH10 5EA Tel: +44 (0) 131 270 82 33 || Scotland.

GlobalSub / custom payment processing etc. I need to communicate with several systems via TCP/IP and other systems to process transactions from Interchange. Thanks all for the info I received. First a few questions - 1) does anyone know of any place I can find some comprehensive info on how Interchange interacts with validation and processing systems? 2) has anyone written GlobalSub type modules in C (presumably with a Perl wrapper) that do anything they would be willing to share - even an example? 3) any info on life with Interchange (other than the supplied docs which read kind of like stereo instructions) would be really, really appreciated. Now for what I found - I made the following changes to the files indicated below, and wrote the GlobalSub contained herein (with bits and pieces I gleaned from code I received, found, etc.) - works like a charm. It communicates with a TCP server I wrote that accepts connections on port 1234 - doesn't do anything at this point but gather and dump info passed to it by the Perl routine. Please bear in mind that I'm using the RPM install; your files may not be in the exact same locations as mine ... Assuming the name of the catalog-in-question is "mycatalog": In /usr/lib/interchange/eg/globalsub/testsub: GlobalSub <<EOS use strict; use Vend::Util; sub test { ::logDebug("Entering test GlobalSub..."); my %ic_result; $ic_result{MStatus}="success"; $ic_result{'order-id'}=1; # must be !null ::logDebug("Exiting test GlobalSub."); return (%ic_result); } EOS To communicate with a remote, I added use Socket; at the head of the file; then: # --------------- # Spill our guts via TCP ... my @S; socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname('tcp')); my $addr = sockaddr_in(1234,inet_aton('some.remote.host')); connect(S,$addr); print S "<SOT>\n", "CCNUM ",$actual{mv_credit_card_number},"\n", "FNAME ",$actual{b_fname},"\n", "LNAME ",$actual{b_lname},"\n", "ADDR ",$actual{address},"\n", "CITY ",$actual{b_city},"\n", "STATE ",$actual{b_state},"\n", "ZIPPC ",$actual{zip},"\n", "PMTMD ",$actual{mv_payment_mode},"\n", "AMT ",$amount,"\n", "EXPDT ",$exp,"\n", "ORDNM ",$actual{mv_order_number},"\n", "PSKEY ",$secret,"\n", "USRID ",$user,"\n", "<EOT>\n\007"; close(S); The "\007" char is the end-of-message indicator. Like I said earlier, it's crude, but it seems to show that what I need to do can be done ... In /var/lib/interchange/mycatalog/etc/profiles.order (the ... and line are here so it should be easy to figure out where in the file I added this) ... &set = mv_payment Incomplete # CHANGED # call /usr/lib/interchange/eg/globalsub/testsub # function == test &charge=custom test # /CHANGED [if value fax_order == 1] &set = mv_payment Check or Money Order (will call) ...

This is a case where if you want to do this type of search on a database, you should have a coordinated search qualifying it with an mv_column_op of eq to limit the initial select.

You need to define that first. Good point. I'm looking for ways to measure "page display times" (when network isn't an issue). As far as "good performance", here's the background info: For hardware, we've got: 2-way zeon 1ghz web server (1gb ram) 4-way zeon database server (postgresql) with 4gb ram EMC Clariion fibrechannel SAN array With plans to scale out the webservers and do layer-4 www clustering (and eventually try the Pgsql clustering code). For my application, good performance is sub-second page displays no matter the concurrency load (1 concurrent connection or 1000+ concurrent). Basically I'm worried about performance that I can't fix by throwing more hardware at the problem. I need a good way to test the performance, and that's what I'm hoping you guys can help me discover. :) So it seems that it would be very valuable to test the amount of time that it takes to execute a given block of code in an .html so that I can find what areas need tuning the most. But since you've piqued my interest, what are the other metrics (or dimensions) for "performance" testing on an interchange website? (KB transmit size per HTTP SEND? processor utilization maybe? low/high concurrency? etc?). Thanks for your help and I appreciate the response. -Dan > > > > 2:30am, it's getting late.

But which SQL will you honor? The ones that tolerate no %, the ones that won't match with % at the beginning of the string if that word begins the string, or the ones that do? The ones that require UPPER() for a case-insensitive match? The ones that have a regex-capable LIKE? Interchange supports at least 15 different SQL implementations as well as non-SQL tables. That is why that needs to be implemented by the person who knows what SQL they are using. There is no SQL-92 standard for that.

I apologize in advance for the lengthy post, but don't know of any other way to attempt to get an answer to these... First, please let me say I really like Interchange and have been able to do a lot with it. This is *not* a slam of it. That said, there's several things about Interchange that have been pretty elusive to me - some of it seems to stem from the location of files when it's installed from the RPM (as opposed to building the source). Some of whats in the docs apply to a source install but not to the RPM install; for instance, the RPM creates /usr/lib/interchange (the IC install directory) and /var/lib/interchange (the catalog install directory). There's bits and pieces of a lot of "stuff" in each; I'm having a lot of difficulty ascertaining which is which ... first is how the heck do you switch a database table from SQL to, say, gdbm? I'd like to have both ... I'd like to be able to change operational characteristics of Interchange like this on the fly, but I can't quite figure out what all the files that are affected and the appropriate entries for them are ... One thing I noticed was this - in my products.dbm (in default_db) - when set up to run PostgreSQL: the file reads: Database products products.txt TAB Database products HOT 1 Database products INDEX category:c What the heck do the last two lines mean? I can't find any documentation on HOT anywhere... and, makecat is the only thing I can find that'll set the parameters above (and others) to their appropriate values. second is exactly how are tags, parameters, etc. passed around and what are they - I guess a better question is can you point me towards some docs that don't read like a jigsaw puzzle. A lot of stuff in, say, the payment processing routines seems to be a carry-over or not implemented. For example, my ($user,$secret,$amount) = @_; would seem to indicate that amount would contain something; yet, it never does. I have to get it via $amount = Vend::Interpolate::total_cost(); $amount = sprintf("%.2f",$amount); This is just one example of how a lot of things don't work as they would seem to ... third is along the same lines - w/respect to the values passed back to Interchange in the ic_result hash, what do they have to be? Better question - where can I find them documented? fourth is the tags - mv_order_route for example - it's set in several places based on several criteria using the "construct" catalog type for example. Where can I find complete info on what all of them are, how and where they're being set, and how and where to set them, so I can use them appropriately? last is most of my coding is in C. I would love to be able to to write custom payment processing modules, etc. in C. Can you give me an example of how to do this? A short example of a problem I ran into was with my payment processing GlobalSub. I had to know to set "&charge=custom my_sub_name" in /var/lib/interchange/mycatalogname/etc/profiles.order, to set "AllowGlobal mycatalogname" in /etc/interchange.cfg, and add a "#include /usr/lib/interchange/eg/globalsub/mysubsourcefilename" at the very end of /etc/interchange.cfg in the case of the RPM version of Interchange 4.6.3 . The file locations, etc. didn't correspond to the docs or other code I found in the distribution. It took a while to figure out what was going on - I got a lot of "bad globalsub"s in the process. Also I ended up having to add "use strict; use Vend::Util; ..." in order to get the module to work at all. >From the other posts I've seen a globalsub should compile and be testable by removing the "GlobalSub <<EOS" and "EOS" lines from the source file and running it. This doesn't work for me as the .pm modules needed to run it are not in my @INC. I installed Bundle::Interchange from CPAN but that did not make a difference in this respect. Hopefully other developers and/or users will have had similar problems and be able and willing to help me. The last post netted me one response which was essentially to go figure it out myself. That wasn't very helpful or very much appreciated. Sorry for the lengthy post again, but if anyone can help me out a bit here I'd really appreciate it, and I'll be more than happy to contribute anything I find as a result, and along the way, to anyone who wants it, and to the appropriate place for it if someone can tell me where that is. - Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Heins" <mikeh@minivend.com> To: <interchange-users@lists.akopia.com> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 6:28 PM Subject: Re: [ic] developers list > Quoting Kris Dahl (kris@sledge-hammer.net): > > Anyone aware of a mailing list for actual Interchange developers?

(KB > transmit size per HTTP SEND? processor utilization maybe? low/high > concurrency? etc?). Setting the reference platform is the first step. Sometimes it is a laptop and rarely a high end mac workstation. Usually it is a $1000 off the shelf windoze system from Staples on a dialup. IE, Netscape, AOL. We do everything on linux so that is covered, and we check with a Mac when we can get it working. Simple page render time. We want a 3 second render time. Yeah, ugly. Do we get there with everything, no way. I don't know where you will get sub-second page displays in any credible testing environment. minivend is **never** the issue. Poor performance is almost always poor design or poor concept; the rest of the time it's not enough RAM. FWIW, my experience is that performance is relatively insensitive to the hardware you through at it; generally our systems chug along under .1 load avg; that will spike without bound when we make a **mistake**. Half the hardware or twice as much would not make a difference when a few robots chew into badly formed queries all at once. cfm -- Christopher F.

In general, all documentation written (except iccattut) assumes you're doing an install from the tarball, because there wasn't a standard RPM back when the docs were written. The main thing to remember with the RPM is this: software directory: /usr/lib/interchange catalogs directory: /var/lib/interchange That's not all that complicated, I don't think. It's no harder than the default tarball install as a non-root user: software directory: /home/jon/interchange catalogs directory: /home/jon/catalogs There are a few other differences with the RPM. For example, the error.log and interchange.cfg are located in /var/log/interchange and /etc, respectively. But that really doesn't matter, because there are still symbolic links in the usual location of /usr/lib/interchange. The biggest thing is that you start and stop Interchange installed from RPM with /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange or /usr/sbin/interchange, NOT with the /usr/lib/interchange/bin/interchange program directly. You may want to try doing: rpm -qlp interchange-4.6.3-1.rh7.i386.rpm That lists every single file in the package and makes it easy to see where everything went.

It looks like jEdit stacks colors in its properties file (\windows\.jedit\properties on my system) Here are my colors on top of the default. If you remove your color lines you will be set back to the defaults- this is probably not the best way so save a backup copy... view.style.literal2=color\:\#999900 view.style.literal1=color\:\#990099 view.style.keyword3=color\:\#9999ff style\:b view.style.keyword2=color\:\#0000ff style\:b view.style.keyword1=color\:\#ff00ff style\:b view.style.operator=color\:\#000000 style\:b You can also change TYPE's in the xml file but I'll probably be making changes to that after 3.1 (when a new INCLUDE tag will be supported). If you go Utilities->Global Options->jEdit Options->Editing you can select the default mode: interchange. You can also do it on a file basis by putting this in the top 10 lines: :mode=interchange: There is more info in the manual. Would you think it would be better to highlight item-xxx tags from a keyword list, while the user defined PREFIX= would get a default color? I'm still debating this. If a few more people use it I would consider submitting it to the jEdit team, otherwise, I'm not sure that it is worth it for 2 or 3 users... We'll see! Also, many thanks to Slava Pestov of jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) for his help on the Interchange mode. -Chris > I've been using interchange.xml for a little while and I love it! > > It is still taking me quite some time to get all the coloring options > right, though.

Yes. Basically you setup some encryption (PGP) and have interchange e-mail all the orders (w/ encrypted credit card numbers) to your fulfillment guys. Then at the end of the day they read their e-mail and do the orders. (I think this is how the Construct demo is setup to work out of the box -- after you setup your Encryptor option in the interchange.cfg). You could search for Encryptor, credit card, [email], etc. things on the developer.akopia.com website (and mailing list archive).

We have 4 carts in development and are preparing to move the first one to production. We have had a couple of revelations here. First and foremost - the catalog should have been created in it's final resting place to begin with. Searching archives turned up a couple of references, the better being Doug Alcorn's response. We are in a slightly different situation though. We have one machine where we are doing development under one site, with subdirectories for customer sites in development. Thus, the customers have a place to look at the work for proofing. When accepted, the site is moved to the customers web site directories on the same server for production. Doug's directions stipulate creating a catalog with makecat and then copying the changes from development to new directories (on a different server), dumping the database and importing on the new server. All these things make sense, but leave some things unanswered. How do you get a MySQL database created by makecat that is not a test database? Is it better to leave it in a test database (I would not think so)? There is a production site in the directories you are moving to (Interchange is an upgrade to an existing site) so you don't want to step on html files that already exist in the htdocs directory until go live time. Renaming some html files seems the only option available if you want to move and test. Otherwise move and be live, prepared to jump through hoops quickly for any problems arising from the move. Any other ideas? Since we are on the same machine, can we simply copy the directories from the current location to the new location and change some config file entries for the new directory? If so, which entries, and are all the changes needed in the catalog.cfg file? If not all in the catalog.cfg file, what files do we need to look at? This is a long one with several questions. Thanks for any help provided. It will be passed on as we mature in our knowledge of this great package. Ron D.

I've no clue as to how you are tying it to IC. What happens if you don't even mention it in the cfg file? Depending on how you do the queries and what's changed since 4.03 you might not need anything more than a handle on the products table. Certainly of the 5.5m only a small percentage are "active". We maintain a small table of registered data, a first_name,last_name,cookie and id that then gets joined to others tables as required. None of those are catalog.cfg.

You're making it much harder than it needs to be. You can have any number of catalogs talking to same databases. No need to dump them. Typically we install our dev systems parallel to production systems only on different machines with different addresses, eg www.asdf.com vs dev.asdf.com. All the differences from one machine to another are handled by our page builder, but there are precious few, mostly dealing with ssl; we don't bother with that on the dev machines. For the most part, if you are doing it by hand, just copy it. Don't use makecat unless you want to double your experience. > How do you get a MySQL database created by makecat that is not a test > database? > > Is it better to leave it in a test database (I would not think so)? > > > There is a production site in the directories you are moving to > (Interchange is an upgrade to an existing site) so you don't want to > step on html files that already exist in the htdocs directory until go > live time.

Any other > ideas? That's a bad structure. Just use a different catalog. Like we still have a few catalogs in mv3, those are at /var/mv/catalog3 and the mv4 version is /var/mv/catalog4.

The homepage of the site is a static page but you will see as soon as you click on any category listing (the main categories on our site are different areas in Interchange - we are therefore talking about the sub-categories - the ones that list all the products). It seems that the speed of this is unacceptable however to access an individual product description there is no problem at all. With the way the category listings are handled in Interchange it doesn't seem as though any further indexing or tweaking on the mysql database is going to help. We have thought of two ways we might be able to solve this problem: 1. Split the number of products into multiple catalogs so that we have only a couple of thousand products in each catalog. 2. Have a background process which runs periodically generating static pages for all the category listings and change the links so that the end users always access these static pages rather than the dynamic ones. Of course with this option we give away some of the functionality we would have utilizing the user's session when they are logged in. Does any one have any experience or any other ideas on how else we might be able to improve the performance in our case specifically for the generating of a product listing from clicking on the categories. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

I get an error in my error.log which looks like: No key 'id' found for function='insert' table='attributes' This happens each time i use the UI/Admin on fields that have an auto_increment primary key. So I went to browse through the mailing list archive to find a way to make the admin work with auto_increment primary keys... I found tid bits about [data session id] and using an incremental number...but there are very few detail on doing this. I'd really like to avoid entering things in this field so that its managed by the db itself. Is there any better way to do that? Wouldn't it be possible to just forget this field? I'd appreciate any hints on how you people handle this...(and I'm sure others as well) Wouldnt people using *many* rows in a table and want to use IC be limited if they had an auto_increment primary key in it? Does that mean they cant use the admin? Thanks. From: support at integricity.com (Integricity Support ) Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 03:03:26 +0800 Subject: [ic] Step-by-Step on Gift Certs please?

It looks like jEdit stacks colors in its properties file (\windows\.jedit\properties on my system) Here are my colors on top of the default. If you remove your color lines you will be set back to the defaults- this is probably not the best way so save a backup copy... view.style.literal2=color\:\#999900 view.style.literal1=color\:\#990099 view.style.keyword3=color\:\#9999ff style\:b view.style.keyword2=color\:\#0000ff style\:b view.style.keyword1=color\:\#ff00ff style\:b view.style.operator=color\:\#000000 style\:b You can also change TYPE's in the xml file but I'll probably be making changes to that after 3.1 (when a new INCLUDE tag will be supported). If you go Utilities->Global Options->jEdit Options->Editing you can select the default mode: interchange. You can also do it on a file basis by putting this in the top 10 lines: :mode=interchange: There is more info in the manual. Would you think it would be better to highlight item-xxx tags from a keyword list, while the user defined PREFIX= would get a default color? I'm still debating this. If a few more people use it I would consider submitting it to the jEdit team, otherwise, I'm not sure that it is worth it for 2 or 3 users... We'll see!

I would like to search several seperate databases at the same time, returning the results on the same page. What I previously set up was 4 seperate [QUERY SQL] tags, which each returned independent sets of results to the page. Ideally I would like to be able to pull all the results into the same array or hash so i can sort them by the price field and they appear as one combined set of results. I have looked on the developers site and through the old mailing list questions and only got more confused. I am not a perl programmer by nature, and need a little help on finding the best possible solution to my problem. So i guess I have a couple of questions: 1) How do I get all the seperate search results into the same array/hash/whatever I need to use? 2) How do I sort the data based on 1 particular field of the combined results 3)How can I push an 'identifier' into each row returned so i can identify which db the result came from?

From: interchange-users-admin@minivend.com on behalf of Mike Heins [mikeh@minivend.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 12:58 PM To: Interchange User List Subject: [ic] Tips and Tricks -- optimizing lists Area: Core Category: Templates Item: List optimization Interchange has powerful search capabilities that allow you to produce lists of items for use in category lists, product lists, indexes, and other navigation tools. These are a two-edged sword, though. Lists of hundreds or thousands of entries can be returned, and techniques that work well displaying only a few items may slow to a crawl when a large list is returned. In general, when you are returning one item (i.e. a flypage) or a small list (i.e. a shopping cart) you can be pretty carefree in your use of [if ...] and [calc] and [perl] tags. When there are hundreds of items, though, you cannot; each complex test or embedded Perl snippet causes the Safe module to have to evaluate code, and each ITL tag requires parsing and argument building. The Safe module is pretty fast considering what it does, but it can only generate a few thousand instances per second even on a fast system. And the ITL tag parser can likewise only parse thousands of tags per CPU second. What to do? You want to provide complex conditional tests but you don't want your system to slow to a crawl. Luckily, there are techniques which can speed up complex lists by orders of magnitude. ------------ Benchmarking ------------ A non-precise benchmark of different iteration options can be done with the following global UserTag. Place this in a file in the usertag/ directory in the Interchange root: UserTag benchmark Order start display UserTag benchmark AddAttr UserTag benchmark Routine <<EOR my $bench_start; my @bench_times; sub { my ($start, $display, $opt) = @_; my @times = times(); if($start or ! defined $bench_start) { $bench_start = 0; @bench_times = @times; for(@bench_times) { $bench_start += $_; } } my $current_total; if($display or ! $start) { for(@times) { $current_total += $_; } unless ($start) { $current_total = sprintf '%.3f', $current_total - $bench_start; for(my $i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) { $times[$i] = sprintf '%.3f', $times[$i] - $bench_times[$i]; } } return $current_total if ! $opt->{verbose}; return "total=$current_total user=$times[0] sys=$times[1] cuser=$times[2] csys=$times[3]"; } return; } EOR Then at the beginning of the code to check, call [benchmark start=1] to start the measurement. At the end [benchmark] will display the time used. Bear in mind that it is not precise, and that there may be variation due to system conditions. Also, the longer the times and the bigger the list, the better the comparison. To see the system/user breakdown, do: [benchmark verbose=1] In general, "user" time measures Interchange processing time and and the rest are indicative of the database access overhead, which can vary widely from database to database. ------------- Optimizations ------------- ---------------------------------------------------- [PREFIX-tag] is faster than [parsed-tag] [loop prefix=foo search="ra=yes"] [foo-data products image] is slightly faster than [foo-field image] which is MUCH faster than [data products image [foo-code]] which is faster than [data table=products column=image key="[foo-code]"] [/loop] The loop tags are interpreted by means of fast regular expression scans of the loop container text, and fetch an entire row of data in one query. The [data ...] ITL tag interpretation is delayed until after the loop is finished, whereby the ITL tag parser must find the tag, build a parameter list, then fetch the data with a separate query. If there are repeated references to the same field in the loop, the speedup can be 10x or more. ---------------------------------------------------- Pre-fetch data with rf=field1,field2,field3 and access with [PREFIX-param field1]. mv_return_fields (otherwise known as "rf" in one-click terminology) sets the fields that are returned from a search. Once they are returned, they can be accessed with [PREFIX-param field]. They can also be referenced with [PREFIX-pos N], where N is a digit representing the ordinal position (i.e. starting with 0) in the list of fields. The following are equivalent: Benchmark loop-field list: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes/st=db"] [loop-code] price: [loop-field price] [/loop] --> TIME: [benchmark] <P> Benchmark loop-param list: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes/st=db/rf=sku,price"] [loop-code] price: [loop-param price] [/loop] --> TIME: [benchmark] but the second is much, much faster. ---------------------------------------------------- [PREFIX-alternate N] is available for row counting and display. A common need when building tables is to conditionally close the table row or data containers. I see a lot of: [loop search="ra=yes"] [calc] return '<TR>' if [loop-increment] == 1; return[/calc] [calc] return '' if [loop-increment] % 3; return '</TR>' [/calc] [/loop] Much faster, by a few orders of magnitude, is: [loop search="ra=yes"] [loop-change 1][condition]1[/condition]<TR>[/loop-change 1] [loop-alternate 3]</TR>[/loop-alternate] [/loop] If you think you need to close the final row by checking the final count, look at this: [loop search="ra=yes"] [on-match] <TABLE> <TR> [/on-match] [list] <TD>[loop-code]</TD> [loop-alternate 3]</TR><TR>[/loop-alternate] [/list] [on-match] </TR> </TABLE> [/on-match] [no-match] No match, sorry. [/no-match] [/loop] This is a hundred times faster than anything you can build with multiple [calc] tags. ---------------------------------------------------- Use simple go/nogo comparisons in [if ...] Consider these two snippets: [if scratch|value|cgi key] THEN [/if] and: [if scratch|value|cgi key == '1'] THEN [/if] The first one doesn't require Perl evaluation. It simply checks to see if the value is blank or 0, and returns true if it is anything but. Of course this requires setting your test values to blank or 0 instead of "No" or " " or somesuch, but it is anywhere from 20-35% faster. Try it on the construct demo: ---- begin test --- Overhead: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes"][set cert][loop-field gift_cert][/set][/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> if scratch compare: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes"] [set cert][loop-field gift_cert][/set] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> if scratch compare eq 1: [benchmark start=1] <!-- [loop search="ra=yes"] [set cert][loop-field gift_cert][/set] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [loop-code] [if scratch cert == 1] YES [else] NO [/else][/if] [/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> [page @@MV_PAGE@@]Again[/page] ---- end test --- ---------------------------------------------------- Use [PREFIX-calc] instead of [calc] or [perl] (This facility is not yet documented, but will be soon.) You can execute the same code as [calc] with [PREFIX-calc], which has two benefits: 1. It doesn't require ITL parsing. 2. It is executed during the loop instead of after it. The [PREFIX-calc] object has complete access to all normal embedded Perl objects like $Values, $Carts, $Tag, and such. If you want to make a data table (i.e. "products" or "pricing") available for access inside of it, just do: [perl tables="products pricing"] [/perl] prior to list start. Now you can do something like: [loop search="ra=yes"] [loop-calc] $desc = $Tag->data('products', 'description', '[loop-code]'); $link = $Tag->page('[loop-code]'); return "$link $desc </A>"; [/loop-calc] <BR> [/loop] ---------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED: Precompile and execute with [PREFIX-sub] and [PREFIX-exec] (This facility is not yet documented, but will be soon.) For repetitive routines, you can achieve a considerable savings in CPU by pre-compiling your embedded Perl code. In the "Construct Something" demo, the bar_link() routine in catalog_before.cfg is an example of compiling the subroutine once at catalog configuration time. You can also compile routines at the time of the list execution with [item-sub routine] CODE [/item-sub]. This means only one Safe evaluation is done -- every time the [loop-exec routine] is called, it is done fast as a call to the routine. This can be 10 times or more faster than separate [calc] calls, or 5 times faster than separate [PREFIX-calc] calls. Example: [benchmark start=1] loop-calc: <!-- [loop search="st=db/fi=country/ra=yes/ml=1000"] [loop-calc] my $code = q{[loop-code]}; return "code '$code' reversed is " . reverse($code); [/loop-calc] [/loop] --> [benchmark] <P> [benchmark start=1] loop-sub and loop-exec: <!-- [loop search="st=db/fi=country/ra=yes/ml=1000"] [loop-sub country_compare] my $code = shift; return "code '$code' reversed is " . reverse($code); [/loop-sub] [loop-exec country_compare][loop-code][/loop-exec] [/loop] --> [benchmark] ---------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED: Execute and save with [query ...], then use an embedded Perl routine. You can run [query arrayref=myref sql="query"], which saves the results of the search/query in a Perl reference. It is then available in $Tmp->{myref}. (Of course, "myref" can be any arbitrary name.) This is the fastest possible method to display a list. Observe: --- begin test code --- [set waiting_for]os28004[/set] [benchmark start=1] Embedded Perl <!-- [query arrayref=myref sql="select sku, price, description from products"] <!-- make query, this container text is not used. --> [/query] [perl] # Get the query results, has multiple fields my $ary = $Tmp->{myref}; my $out = ''; foreach $line (@$ary) { my ($sku, $price, $desc) = @$line; if($sku eq $Scratch->{waiting_for}) { $out .= "We were waiting for this one!!!!\n"; } $out .= "sku: $sku price: $price description: $desc\n"; } return $out; [/perl] --> TIME: [benchmark] [benchmark start=1] All loop <!-- [query list=1 sql="select sku, price, description from products"] [if scratch waiting_for eq '[sql-code]']We were waiting for this one!!!! [/if] sku: [sql-code]price: [sql-param price] desc: [sql-param description] [/query] --> TIME: [benchmark] --- end test code --- ---------------------------------------------------- Other things that help: *** Avoid interpolate=1 when possible. A separate tag parser must be spawned every time you do this. Many times people use this without needing it. *** Avoid saving large values to Scratch, as these have to be written to the users session. If you need them only for the current page, clear at the end by using [tmp scratch_var] contents [/tmp], which is the same as [seti scratch_var] contents [/seti] except clears the value before the session is written. You can also use [scratchd scratch_var] to return the contents and delete them from the session at the same time. *** Use the [more-list] facility to break up your large searches. You can use them in [query ....] and [loop ...] searches as well -- see the docs. -- Akopia, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <heins@akopia.com> Any man who is under 30, and is not liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has not brains. -- Winston Churchill _______________________________________________ Interchange-users mailing list Interchange-users@www.minivend.com http://www.minivend.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users >Interchange version 4.6.1 >Interchange PID 1666 >Interchange SUID User interchange (uid 207) >Last time server restarted Sun Mar 11 14:10:43 2001 >Last time changes applied Sun Mar 11 14:10:42 2001 (apply now) >Environment variables passed MOD_PERL >Perl Version Perl 5.00503 (called with: /usr/local/bin/perl) >Optional Module Information: >LWP::Simple found (v1.32). >MD5 found (v2.01). >MIME::Base64 found (v2.11). >SQL::Statement found (v0.1016). >Safe::Hole found (v0.08). >Storable found (v1.010). >Tie::Watch not found.

I think that checkstat.sh is not being used anymore in favor of bin/interchange If I'm correct, bin/interchange will look at the .pid file to see if it is till running, and if not, it will start itself again. Otherwise it will just go through init until it realizes it was already running, and not fork an additional copy.

Do you mean to say that 100mbps isn't a credible testing environment? :-) I thought everyone browsed the net with a cross-connected OC-192 into MAE-WEST? At this point I'm worried about the performance of the site without network overhead. That way I can be sure that a given page is slow because of my bad IML programming (vs. wondering if it was because 56k, etc.). That's what I meant by sub-second. :-) That said, I recently mentioned I found the solution to my question in Mike's Tips and Tricks that I saved to my hdd (knowing it would come in handy later), but neglected to reference until now. It will be great to see the RedHat Documentation Army applied to Interchange docs -- hopefully "tips and tricks" will be expanded and promoted. Anyway, for the sake of list-archive-ness I'll repost what I'm using to benchmark here (from Mike's tips and tricks : From: interchange-users-admin@minivend.com on behalf of Mike Heins [mikeh@minivend.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 12:58 PM To: Interchange User List Subject: [ic] Tips and Tricks -- optimizing lists Area: Core Category: Templates Item: List optimization [...] ------------ Benchmarking ------------ A non-precise benchmark of different iteration options can be done with the following global UserTag.

At the end [benchmark] will display the time used. Bear in mind that it is not precise, and that there may be variation due to system conditions. Also, the longer the times and the bigger the list, the better the comparison. To see the system/user breakdown, do: [benchmark verbose=1] In general, "user" time measures Interchange processing time and and the rest are indicative of the database access overhead, which can vary widely from database to database.

After reviewing the IC docs on setting up shipping schemes several times, it still seems somewhat like voodoo to me. So I have extra respect for anyone who can help me implement the following shipping logic in Interchange: " Use a flat rate shipping price based on quantity with price breaks at 1 and 10, but exclude any items in the quantity count that have a true value in the 'download' column in the products table". I had the basic price point structure set up, but adding in the exception for soft goods (which don't effect the shipping charge), has thrown me for a loop. Perhaps related: In the simple demo of Interchange, there doesn't appear to be a mention of handling soft goods in the shipping table, but I assume they are not being charged for shipping. How is shipping being handled for those items?

If you're talking about a join, then there is no such thing as "which table the result came from". However, I assume you are not talking about a join, but rather collecting the results of multiple searches into one bucket. Here's some simple code for two tables; you can extend it to N from there. I'll assume a character sort on the 'foo' column. [query st=db hashref=table1 sql="select 'table1' as tablename, code, foo from table1"][/query] [query st=db hashref=table2 sql="select 'table2' as tablename, code, foo from table2"][/query] [perl] my @all = (@{ $Tmp->{table1} },@{ $Tmp->{table2} }); # Combining results. my ($row, $out); foreach $row ( sort { $a->{foo} cmp $b->{foo} } @all ) { # Sorting $out .= <<EOP; $row->{code} is the key for this row from $row->{tablename}<br> The sort is ascending character based on $row->{foo}<p> EOP } return $out; [/perl] For more detail about queries, consult an SQL book or some websites describing syntax. For more detail about the sort function in perl, the man pages should give you a good description of the comparison operators and what $a and $b do.

I have scoured the akopia website, manuals, and mailing list. But have found no answers. Here is the problem, I am accessing the secure checkout using a different url than my main store and the browser returns "Internal Server Error" The server log for the secure server reads "Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/apache/secure/secure-store/link.cgi" I have tried so many different settings--too many to list--always with the same results. I've tried making a symbolic link from the secure server to the store html directory, I've tried putting a copy of the link.cgi in the secure server folder, I've tried making a symbolic link directly for the link.cgi. I've tried different setting in interchange.cfg. Here are some settings that may help in solving the problem: interchange.cfg: Catalog mystore /home/mystore/catalog /link.cgi /secure-store/link.cgi (I don't fully understand what the last part of that directive does?) Catalog.cfg: Variable SERVER_NAME www.mystore.com Variable CGI_URL /link.cgi Variable SECURE_SERVER https://secure.anotherurl.com/symlink-to-mystore The secure server and the catalog run on the same machine. The non secure store works great. Everytime I try something I always get the Premature end of script headers error. I would really appreciate any and all help.

I made a few some discoveries along the way too that I probably wouldn't have otherwise (at least not very readily) . In part this a reply to an earlier post I made as to what they are. Still have one unanswered Q - is there an easy/directly supported way to switch a given table (within a catalog) from using an SQL database to, say, gdbm, or text? The system does this for several tables - 2ndDayAir, Ground, and 4 others aren't in my SQL database so I'm assuming its possible; just can't quite figure out how (yet). --- Here's what I've (I think) figured out, at least to a degree: The database name for a catalog seems to be set in catalog.cfg. I'm using a DBI/SQL db; changing this name lets me switch over to a different DBI/SQL database. I plan to set up a few other scenarios and run some diff's to see what changed for other db types etc. If anyone is curious I'd be more than happy to send you what I find. After looking over (in /usr/lib/interchange/lib in my case) Vend/Data.pm, Vend/Config.pm, and UI/usertag/dbinfo the contents of my products.dbm make a little more sense: Database products products.txt TAB Database products HOT 1 Database products INDEX category:c The HOT keyword seems to make "auto-export" work when editing items from within the IC admin interface; changes I make there show up in products.txt too (as long as the "auto-export" checkbox is checked - it is by default). INDEX indicates a char field index on "category". --- Can anyone with a more IC experiece confirm that the above is accurate? Also, is there really anything wrong with the "test" database's structure etc. that'd make it problematic to use in a production system? The structure of it looks OK, but makecat made a point of saying it was a test database, so I thought I would ask...

If yes, what >changes are necessary to use the old one? I think that checkstat.sh is not being used anymore in favor of bin/interchange If I'm correct, bin/interchange will look at the .pid file to see if it is till running, and if not, it will start itself again. Otherwise it will just go through init until it realizes it was already running, and not fork an additional copy. So I think you could try a call to bin/interchange in your crontab. >Thanks in advance. > >Curt Hauge > >_______________________________________________ >Interchange-users mailing list >Interchange-users@lists.akopia.com >http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users Dan Browning, Cyclone Computer Systems, danb@cyclonecomputers.com _______________________________________________ Interchange-users mailing list Interchange-users@lists.akopia.com http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users From: 6tc1 at qlink.queensu.ca (Timothy Cassidy ) Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 22:23:34 -0500 (EST) Subject: [ic] still unable to call global subroutines in html files I think you may have misunderstood my question.

Anyway, perhaps I have misunderstood your answer, but I think it is just that I am not calling the functions correctly. For instance, are my user tags correct? I found the [perl sub] tag in one of the documents. But it seems strange that it is ended with a regular end perl tag. I actually do know how to use grep and I tried your suggestion of grep'ing on the various pm files that are part of interchange, and I did find code that referred to MVSAFE, but I am unsure as to what to do with that code. I wouldn't have thought that I should have to alter the code in the interchange libraries (/usr/lib/interchange/, /usr/local/interchange/lib/) Thanks very much for your help, Tim On Sat, 10 Mar 2001 cfm@maine.com wrote: > On Sat, Mar 10, 2001 at 08:44:01PM -0500, Timothy Cassidy wrote: > > This is a stupid question, but how do you call one of these > > GlobalSub subroutines (in your interchange.cfg file)?

I am planning on building sites using Interchange as a platform. What I would like to do is pull together a picture that will address performance as it is made up of the hardware, operating system, web server, application, and database server. My question is: Are there any published or posted performance related information available related to Interchange? The specifics as I have planned now are: That I will be running on RedHat v7, with StrongHold, Interchange, and am planning on the database, PostgreSQL, being on a separate server. The hardware platform is likely to be an Intel >=800MHz with >=512MB RAM. I know that performance numbers are all related to the specific instantiations of the system. What I am hoping to find is some benchmarks or other data points that I can use as a measure for my planning. Thanks in advance. -dhOPLEY -- Douglas E.

Tell your crontab to execute the command as your interchange user (which gives the process the effective user id: EUID same as UID interchange) with the following command: su interch -c "/home/myfiles/interchange/bin/interchange --start" (of course, replace interch with your interchange username).

I opted for 'roll-your-own' :-) and am being rolled over by a steam roller. I'm trying to calculate shipping for a set of items in a shopping cart. Each item could potentially have its own shipping method. This is intended to allow for widely varying types of goods. For example, shipping iron rods is different from shipping jewelry, yet both can be bought at the same time. As far as I am aware, Interchange calculates shipping based on the aggregate weight/quantity of the items in a cart by applying a data table to this aggregate quantity. We're shipping based on weight. I've identified a strategy which seems workable except I do not know all the steps needed to achieve it. 1) Add a field to products database called ship. This field is the class of shipping (ie. the data table to be applied to this product) 2) Define tags that are used with [item-list] to be used as below:- ([]'s shifted around for clarity) [reset-shipping] [item-list] [add-to-shipping shipmode="[item-field ship]" weight="[item-field weight]" quantity="[item-quantity]" ] [/item-list] [calculate-shipping-to "New Jersey"] 3) These UserTags go into the catalog.cfg for the store. This UserTag resets all shipping values to zero and should be used each time one is going to do something related to calculating shipping. UserTag reset-shipping Routine <<EOR sub { $Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica} = undef; return ""; } EOR This UserTag sorts the products into bins according to shipping class and calculates the aggregate weight for each bin. UserTag add-to-shipping Order shipmode weight quantity UserTag add-to-shipping Routine <<EOR sub { my ($shipmode,$weight,$quantity) = @_; $Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica}{$shipmode} += $weight * $quantity; return ""; } EOR This UserTag is supposed to apply a data table used in regular Interchange shipping to each bin. If the bin are called '1', '2' and '3', and we are shipping to 'USA', then this UserTag should apply data table USA1 to the aggregate weight of items in bin '1'; apply data table USA2 to the aggregate weight of items in bin '2' etc. I'm setting $::Values->{mv_shipmode} to the concatenation of the shipping destination and the shipping class. That would make data table 'USA1' apply to destination 'USA' and shipping class '1'. Now I want to call an Interchange function, telling it to calculate shipping for the items in bin '1' for destination 'USA'. From looking at the source code for sub shipping in Interpolate.pm, I guess the next step is to create a cart for each bin, put all items in the bin into the cart. I'm having problems trying to work out how to do the calculate-shipping-to UserTag properly. This code doesn't work ... and I need help with it especially as this is my first descent into the Perl side of developing with Interchange. Any ideas ? This would be much easier if Interchange had API level documentation. If something like that exists, please let me know !!!! I'm tearing my hair out trying to grok this Perl :) it's too elite for me, maybe ... Maybe ?!? UserTag calculate-shipping-to Order region UserTag calculate-shipping-to Routine <<EOR sub { my $region = shift; my $method = undef; my $cat = undef; my $total = undef; foreach $cat (keys %{$Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica}}) { # TODO: from region get shipping data table # this is done by setting mv_shipmode $::Values->{mv_shipmode} = $region . $cat; print $Vend::Interpolate::shipping($region . $cat); # TODO: use mv_shipmode on category weight $total += $Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica}{$cat}; } return "$total"; } EOR __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Do I need to speak >with my host or should I read a book? =) Sounds like you definitely need to verify that you have cron privileges, many hosts do not allow it. If you have a virtual hosting account (which I am guessing is the case), your cron jobs should normally run under your userid, so su should not be needed. You might want to try something in the cron that would generate a file: 5,10,15,20,45,55 * * * * ls -l >~/dir.txt Give it a few minutes, then look for a file called dir.txt in your home directory. If it is not there, contact your host regarding you cron capabilities. BTW - if you ultimate goal with cron is to restart IC if it dies, or the machine is rebooted, you might want to use this shell script (edit to suit): #!/bin/sh var=`ps ux | grep interchange | grep -v -c grep` if [ $var -eq 0 ]; then /yourhomedir/interchange/bin/interchange -s fi If you save this in a file called "autostart" in your home dir and do a chmod 755 on it, your cron entry would then be: 5,10,15,20,45,55 * * * * ./autostart --or -- 5,10,15,20,45,55 * * * * sh ~/autostart Test ./autostart on the command line (stop interchange before invoking) before entrusting it, but it should work; it only issues the interchange start command if IC is not already running. - Ed L. >-----Original Message----- >From: interchange-users-admin@lists.akopia.com >[mailto:interchange-users-admin@lists.akopia.com]On Behalf Of Dan B >Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 10:24 PM >To: interchange-users@lists.akopia.com >Subject: Re: [ic] expireall and server --start fail to run in crontab >(was: Where is checkstat.sh?) > > >Good troubleshooting, Curt.

The "NOTE: Nothing to ship!" is not an error - the transaction should complete without and 'shipping weight', it works this way for gift_cert items. I diasabled (redefined, actually) invetory by looking for tags like this: [if-item-data inventory quantity < 1] <a href="[area stock-alert [item-code]]"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1" color="#FF0000">Back Ordered</FONT> [/if-item-data] in places like /templates/components/cart and /pages/ord/checkout and re-write them (or eliminate them) to suit. Personally, we have 3 kinds of inventory at our store: 1) Actual items on hand (inventory > 0) 2) Items we can get within 1 week (inventory = 0) 3) Items we can't get anytime soon (inventory set = -1, by hand) So we don't get a back-ordered listing unless we know that our distributors/manufacturers can't get any either. > > Jack > > _______________________________________________ > Interchange-users mailing list > Interchange-users@lists.akopia.com > http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users > From: admin at sitemajic.net (Chris Jesseman ) Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 20:19:13 -0500 (EST) Subject: [ic] Copying tables into another db Dylan, There are many ways to do it. mysqldump is my personal favorite -> then import into store via the < operator.

Try more than one combination. It is common courtesy when posting to a forum such as this to: 1. Include the version of software you are using, i.e. Interchange 4.6.1. Bugs are fixed and deficiencies corrected in each release of Interchange, as with almost any software. 2. Include relevant information where appropriate. The operating system in question is often relevant, as is the Perl version and database type in use. 3. When talking about tag problems, include a snippet of ITL tags which illustrates the problem. 4. When posting about PGP, Glimpse, or anything else that uses an external command, you need to state what happens when you run the same thing from the command line. 5. Include error log entries or a statement that there are none.

Something like: SELECT substr(column, 2, length ( column ) - 1 ) as sort_price.... The syntax will heavily depend on your particular db. However, if this isn't an option, or your data are inconsistent, you can do it in Perl: foreach (@$resultsetfinal) { $_->[2] =~ s/\$//g; } Perl is also pretty magical, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit to find that it would perform a numeric sort by simply ignoring your non-numeric $ signs, etc. -- Mark Johnson Senior Developer - Professional Services Red Hat, Inc.

I opted for 'roll-your-own' :-) and am being rolled over by a steam roller. I'm trying to calculate shipping for a set of items in a shopping cart. Each item could potentially have its own shipping method. This is intended to allow for widely varying types of goods. For example, shipping iron rods is different from shipping jewelry, yet both can be bought at the same time. As far as I am aware, Interchange calculates shipping based on the aggregate weight/quantity of the items in a cart by applying a data table to this aggregate quantity. We're shipping based on weight. I've identified a strategy which seems workable except I do not know all the steps needed to achieve it. 1) Add a field to products database called ship. This field is the class of shipping (ie. the data table to be applied to this product) 2) Define tags that are used with [item-list] to be used as below:- ([]'s shifted around for clarity) [reset-shipping] [item-list] [add-to-shipping shipmode="[item-field ship]" weight="[item-field weight]" quantity="[item-quantity]" ] [/item-list] [calculate-shipping-to "New Jersey"] 3) These UserTags go into the catalog.cfg for the store. This UserTag resets all shipping values to zero and should be used each time one is going to do something related to calculating shipping. UserTag reset-shipping Routine <<EOR sub { $Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica} = undef; return ""; } EOR This UserTag sorts the products into bins according to shipping class and calculates the aggregate weight for each bin. UserTag add-to-shipping Order shipmode weight quantity UserTag add-to-shipping Routine <<EOR sub { my ($shipmode,$weight,$quantity) = @_; $Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica}{$shipmode} += $weight * $quantity; return ""; } EOR This UserTag is supposed to apply a data table used in regular Interchange shipping to each bin. If the bin are called '1', '2' and '3', and we are shipping to 'USA', then this UserTag should apply data table USA1 to the aggregate weight of items in bin '1'; apply data table USA2 to the aggregate weight of items in bin '2' etc. I'm setting $::Values->{mv_shipmode} to the concatenation of the shipping destination and the shipping class. That would make data table 'USA1' apply to destination 'USA' and shipping class '1'. Now I want to call an Interchange function, telling it to calculate shipping for the items in bin '1' for destination 'USA'. From looking at the source code for sub shipping in Interpolate.pm, I guess the next step is to create a cart for each bin, put all items in the bin into the cart. I'm having problems trying to work out how to do the calculate-shipping-to UserTag properly. This code doesn't work ... and I need help with it especially as this is my first descent into the Perl side of developing with Interchange. Any ideas ? This would be much easier if Interchange had API level documentation. If something like that exists, please let me know !!!! I'm tearing my hair out trying to grok this Perl :) it's too elite for me, maybe ... Maybe ?!? UserTag calculate-shipping-to Order region UserTag calculate-shipping-to Routine <<EOR sub { my $region = shift; my $method = undef; my $cat = undef; my $total = undef; foreach $cat (keys %{$Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica}}) { # TODO: from region get shipping data table # this is done by setting mv_shipmode $::Values->{mv_shipmode} = $region . $cat; print $Vend::Interpolate::shipping($region . $cat); # TODO: use mv_shipmode on category weight $total += $Vend::Session->{SendToAfrica}{$cat}; } return "$total"; } EOR __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

After reviewing the IC docs on setting up shipping schemes several times, it still seems somewhat like voodoo to me. So I have extra respect for anyone who can help me implement the following shipping logic in Interchange: " Use a flat rate shipping price based on quantity with price breaks at 1 and 10, but exclude any items in the quantity count that have a true value in the 'download' column in the products table". I had the basic price point structure set up, but adding in the exception for soft goods (which don't effect the shipping charge), has thrown me for a loop. Perhaps related: In the simple demo of Interchange, there doesn't appear to be a mention of handling soft goods in the shipping table, but I assume they are not being charged for shipping. How is shipping being handled for those items?

What I'll lay out here is going to have lots of holes. There are also **OTHER** ways to solve it. YMMV.

In fact I have been running Minivend / Interchange since Red Hat 5.0 on Red Hat boxes. I recently upgraded our 6.2 server to 7 and the problems you speak of were fixed in less than 4 hours time. Naturally being 7.0 first would negate quite a bit of work later and I did have problems with Interchange. I attempted an upgrade to the rpm which failed miserably. I ended up uninstalling the 6.2 version of IC and then installing the 7.0 version. I have also found some of my perl scripts had some problems but they too are part of the 4 hour fix time. My advice: If you have the luxery of upgrading first by all means. In fact I would blow the entire drive/drives and do a complete fresh install.

Please note that my understanding of the ins and outs of IC is limited, I just know our store is working well so far with authorize.net. This should work out-of-the-box with the included demo construct store. We're using a slightly modified pages/ord/checkout.html page for orders, but none of the processing variables were changed. First off... With the newer version(s) of IC, an authorizenet module is included in the [src/interchange]/eg/globalsub/authorizenet *copy this* file to your installed ../interchange/globalsub directory - NOTE: don't attempt to perl -d the file or run it to check its functionality, as it is made to be embedded into interchange when it starts. If you make modifications to it, remove everything except the section beginning with "sub authorizenet .. {" and ending with "}" After copying the file, take a look at it. It should tell you to add the following lines to your catalog's catalog.cfg file: Variable MV_PAYMENT_ID [YourAuthorizeNetID] Variable MV_PAYMENT_SECRET [YourAuthorizeNetPassword] Variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE custom authorizenet Variable MV_PAYMENT_REFERER [http://www.yourstore.com/cgi-bin/yourICbinary.cgi/process.html] Restart the interchange server - note: you won't see any textual notification that the authorizenet module is successfully included, but if there's an error in the file, it will report it. **NOTE: Be sure your authorize.net account is in TEST MODE before running any transactions, or at least be ready to void transactions and incur transaction fees. Now you *should* be able to order an item using a valid credit card. You'll notice that authorize.net won't notice any of your test transactions in its Transactions section, so there's no way for you to know if the customer data (other than the credit card num and expiration) are being transmitted successfully. In fact, by default, they aren't. You'll notice the authorizenet module only processes a minimum amount of information with each transcation. For instance, if an order has different billing and shipping addresses, the billing first name and last name, address, city, state, zip, etc, .. are transmitted to authorize.net as the shipping information as well. You'll also probably notice that all other fields except first name, last name, city, state, and zip are NOT transmitted to authorize.net. This is because the variable names in the authorizenet module do not correspond to the variable names in the checkout.html file. You can easily adjust the code to account for other variable names. Refer to the Appendix B of the developer section of the authorize.net interface for a mapping of their field names (such as x_Ship_To_First_Name). Here's some code from my slightly modified authorizenet file. Now my transactions are logging the correct address data, but I still can't get the phone or email to appear at all. (Anyone have clues?) --- # if the billing section of checkout.html appears to be blank, # copy the customer shipping info to the billing vars 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_Card_Num => $actual{mv_credit_card_number}, x_Exp_Date => $exp, x_Amount => $amount, x_First_Name => $actual{b_fname}, x_Last_Name => $actual{b_lname}, x_Company => $actual{company}, x_Address => $actual{b_address}, x_City => $actual{b_city}, x_State => $actual{b_state}, x_Zip => $actual{b_zip}, x_Country => $actual{b_country}, x_Ship_To_First_Name => $actual{fname}, x_Ship_To_Last_Name => $actual{lname}, x_Ship_To_Company => $actual{company}, x_Ship_To_Address => $actual{address}, x_Ship_To_City => $actual{city}, x_Ship_To_State => $actual{state}, x_Ship_To_Zip => $actual{zip}, x_Ship_To_Country => $actual{country}, x_Email => $actual{email}, x_Invoice_Num => $actual{mv_order_number}, x_Phone => $actual{phone_day}, x_Password => $secret, x_Login => $user, x_Version => '3.0', x_ADC_URL => 'FALSE', x_ADC_Delim_Data => 'TRUE', ); --- So... give the default code a try first and let me know how it goes. I really sympathize with authorize.net folks because of the lack of documentation and scattered mailing list archive contents.

Hi, We are having a wierd problem that we do not have on our 3 dev servers, only on our 2 production servers. Tracing the code, we found the following lines in Order.pm under sub order_route cause a pause of 1-3min each during the submit order process. $page = interpolate_html($page) if $page; send_mail(@$msg); Adding items to the cart and display a searh, however, does not pause. When the PIDcheck is set to 120, the server would return an 500 Internal Server Error page. When set to 300, the receipt page comes up, but usually after couple minutes of waiting. Here are the specs: We are running Redhat 6.2 with 2.2.x kernel, perl 5.00503, and interchange-4.6.3-1.rh6.i386.rpm running off of the default demo construct catalog. The most prominent difference is that our dev servers are 200mhz single pentium pro with 128mb memory and our production servers are 1ghz dual pentium IIIs with 1gig memory. Has anyone experience this before?

You can test this theory by trying to send mail from something like 'mail' or 'pine' on that server, and seeing if that hangs as well. Or you can just remove the send_mail command -- it should work fine and then you can start figuring out what's wrong with your mail configuration.

I am using the same product code, with a drop down color selection box. My shipping.asc contains price breaks at $20, $40, $60, $80, etc. When several shirts are ordered, as separate items, with different colors, bringing the aggregate total over $20, the basket shows the shipping charge for under $20. I can add items to increase the shipping charge, as it is supposed to be applied in the $20 - $40 range, but the cumulative charge seems to be ignoring some of the (same product code) item, when totalling shipping charges. Has anyone else seen similar behaviour and are there any suggestions? Thanks.

There's simply no way around it. That is, the user has to take *some* action--whatever it is--and based on that action, you have to set up the proper directives. So, when you say, "Can I make this happen without a form or sending parameters or clicking on the submit button," I'd have to say no. But, perhaps I don't understand what you're asking, so maybe describe what you want to do, under what situation, and what you want to have the user do to trigger that action.

I've posted earlier on trying to find a way to charge shipping on a per item basis and got some leads that gave birth to the code I wrote below (thank you, cfm@maine.com, for responding to my plea for help!). Here's how it works ... Basically, one extends the products table with a ship field. Each product can now have a shipping class. For example, household electricals can have a shipping class of '1' and building materials can have a shipping class of '2'. A shipping class is basically an ordinary Interchange shipping method. Next one defines shipping methods via the usual means (editing shipping.asc or using the admin interface to create shipping methods and associated data tables). For example, if I am shipping to Ghana and I have products of shipping class '1' and '2' then I define two shipping methods, one called Ghana1, the other called Ghana2. Finally, you set mv_shipmode to 'Ghana' (notice that this is without the trailing '1' or '2' that are part of the actual ship mode). In your HTML, just use a [delivery-charge] tag anywhere you want to see the actual shipping charges for all products in all shipping classes. The UserTag below will have to be put into your catalog.cfg ... It's not perfect code but is a good and importantly, working, first cut. 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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

If you can live with a user that can view any orders, but only is allowed to change the status (to shipped, backordered... etc.) then this might help you. When editting the access table in the admin interface, there is a column for table_control. As the name depicts, you can control your tables with this. What goes into this field is an anonymous hash that may look like this: { 'pricing' => { 'no_fields' => "price_group", }, 'products' => { 'no_keys' => "weight nontaxable", 'yes_keys' => "00-0011 00-0011a 00-342 00-343 00-404", 'yes_fields' => "sku artist title description comment", }, } of course you will have to put it all in one line. I have just formatted this so it is easier to see. so in this field, you could put something like { 'orderline' => { 'yes_fields' => "status", }, } and when going into select an item to order, they will be able to see most of the order information, but when they go to edit a specific order, all they will get a chance to edit is the status field. I know this isn't exactly what you wanted, but perhaps it is enough.

Now, how do I override the [shipping] and [total-cost] tags so that the figures are correct and minimal changes would be necessary to ITL code ? If I override the [shipping] tag (which I have not yet figured out how to do), will the [total-cost] value reflect the new logic for shipping ?

For example, lets say you set SratchDir to "C:\Minivend\tmp"; what will happen is that File::CounterFile will try to create the file (e.g.) "/usr/tmp/C:\Minivend\tmp/addr_ctr/1/2/127_0_0_1" - which needless to say does not work too well. The problem is that File::CounterFile does not recognize the "C:/" as specifying an absolute pathname. The fix shown below replaces the existing file name test with the test used in Vend::Util.

One of the stores we created uses subscriptions. Really it is a "buyers club" type of store. If you buy a membership (subscription), you can buy the rest of the products on the site at a discount. This store allows both member and non-member purchases at different prices. The URL is: http://www.cigarsatcost.com This is not something you can do directly with the sample stores that come with Interchange, but Interchange is flexible enough to do just about anything you can imagine.

I was under the impression that the requestor wanted to clear the cart without doing a form submission, like perhaps he had some other inline Perl code that did some checks and under some condition wanted to clear the cart without doing a seperate submit. On the otherhand, one could argue that the way to do that is via a mv_click routine that changes the mv_action from "submit" to "cancel" when the cart needs to be cleared. We don't really know enough about his requirements to say. -Bill From: dingdong.sobida at q-linux.com (dingdong ) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 09:28:46 +0800 Subject: [ic] Construct Structure Guys, I've been looking around the Construct demo store but I couldn't determine the structure of the demo.

I have got MySQL and Interchange working but there is one thing I dont understand: Database products products.txt dbi:mysql:tutorialdata In the above line, why do I have to specify products.txt, even after all of my data has been imported into the database? Is there a way to use only the database? All of the examples I have found are similar to the one above, such as: Database arbitrary arbitrary.asc dbi:mSQL:minivend:localhost:1114 So I guess what I am saying is, if I have a database, why do I need to specify an ascii file? This may be a dumb question, but I can't figure it out!

All seems well, except for the annoying 10 second delay between when I click the Checkout button and when the next page is displayed. The archives suggest maybe a DNS delay, but this happens on two separate hosts, each with respectable hardware (both run Redhat Linux). Using a non-secure URL doesn't help, nor does using a local address for email delivery of the order info. "uptime" reports reasonable cpu loads. Does anyone know how to remedy or even diagnose this? DB From: bob at nleaudio.com (Bob Puff at NLE ) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 01:22:18 -0500 Subject: [ic] flypage doesn't work as normal page Tonight I was trying to customize the info page for a particular product. The Interchange docs say that when you click on a link, it checks for the (sku).html file, and if it isn't present, it displays the flypage.html page. Well, I tried simply copying flypage.html to a product's sku. It did call the file up, but with no proper data - a lot of interchange tags showing through. Why is this? I thought that Interchange always interpreted its stuff enclosed in brackets. I want to only add a little bit to the flypage, and use this same file for a number of products.

But when I try to chech out using a secure server, or call pages on the secure server (except for the main index page) I get a 404 Error. The secure server itself works fine, and I can browse all folders on the secure server (has been activated for test purposes). I can access the main index page through the secure server (https://mydomain.net). If I try to view a different page on my secure server, then I also get a 404 error. In my opinion this is strange, since when I access http://www.mydomain.net/construct I see the same directory structure as when I call https://mydomain.net/construct. The IP addresses are exactly the same for the regular and secure server. Is there anyone who knows what I did wrong and how I can get this secure server to work properly with Interchange. I simply cannot figure out why I get this error. PS1! If you like you can view the setup of the admin client with the standard login details at http://tvguidecentral.net. Don't ruin the install though PS2! I have this problem with both Netscape 6 as well as IE 5 Help highly appreciated.

That message indicates that the link cgi was unable to contact the interchange server, without getting the ISP involved there are two main ways you can solve the problem. In order to start interchange running on the web server, you could make a cgi script that ran the restart command on the web server itself, something as simple as: #!/bin/sh echo 'Content-Type: text/plain' echo '' $HOME/interchange/bin/interchange -r put it somewhere web accessible and then load it from the browser and it should restart on the web server, making it accessible to vlink. Since your home directory is NFS mounted, make sure interchange is not running on any of the other servers and fighting over the files with the one on the web server. The other option is to use tlink to connect over the network, when makecat asks if you want to use INET or UNIX mode, choose INET, then set the host and port to the server you will be running interchange on, and make sure to run 'interchange -r' on that server to get the interchange server running, then it should connect over the network to the interchange server. -- Jason S Kohles jason@jasonkohles.com From: richard.siddall at elirion.net (Richard Siddall ) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 11:31:42 -0500 Subject: [ic] Interchange on cobalt RAQ Ron Phipps wrote: > > > Hi > > > > Just wondering if anyone has installed Interchange on a Cobalt and got it > to load the demo store.

I've installed Mike Heins' patch to bin/interchange to work with the RaQ's different configuration of CGIwrap. However, I'm still getting "Undefined catalog" errors from the CGI program. I finally re-read the introduction screen at http://www.mydomain.com/construct and saw that it suggested trying just the CGI program. I get the front page of the store at http://www.mydomain.com/construct.cgi, but if I click on any of the links, say "Login" I get "Undefined catalog: /construct.cgi/login.html" and Interchange logs an error: 64.24.65.96 - - [16/March/2001:11:27:40 -0500] - /construct.cgi/login.html Undefined catalog: /construct.cgi/login.html I have the CGI running under CGIwrap in the root directory for the site, e.g. /home/sites/siten/web Any suggestions on what to try next?

Better up the RAM. I run 512 in ours with 250 swap. My development machine has 128 megs. I know that did not answer your question. I would also think about a machine with something more traditional in CPU (read that as no Celeron). As to yoru question there are far to many variables to consider.

Hello, I'm working on getting soft goods downloading working with Minivend 4.04. The process consistently gets stalled at this point: [userdb function=check_file_acl location="[scratch deliverable]" mode=expire ] So my assumption was the the acl wasn't be set appropriately. I've modeled the example closely though: [userdb function=set_file_acl mode="expire 7 days" location="[item-code]" ] If anything is going wrong with either of these calls, Minivend isn't giving me any feedback. :) What I would like to do at this point is to verify that these two tags are performing their operations as expected. My rudimentary trick was to see if the size of the userdb.db file change after the 'set' operation occurred. It didn't, but that didn't totally convince me the operation failed. How can I either "watch" these operations happen (and see any notes about their failure), or check the data they manipulate myself? Finally, If you happen to recognize the reason I'm stuck as being something else entirely, I'm all ears. :) Thanks, -mark personal website } Summersault Website Development http://mark.stosberg.com/ { http://www.summersault.com/ From: jwashco at hotmail.com (Joseph Washco ) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 22:33:30 Subject: [ic] Sybase Question Hi All, I have just installed the demo store "construct something" on my Linux box. Currently the store is running off of the txt file database that came with the store. I want to change the database to Sybase for the backend of the store. So far this is what I plan to do: 1) I have the dsn (or dbi) set up to see Sybase. If I go into the Administration -> Info page. In the Database Information Area I can see Sybase listed at one of the available drivers. 2) Looking through the interchange/catalogs/construct/dbconf/oracle folder i can see the .ora files. I was going to modify these to import the database structure into Sybase. After the structure was created then i was going to bring in the txt files from interchange/catalogs/construct/products to create the stores data again. Is there an easier way to do this???? 3) Change Interchange to look away from the text file and at Sybase. In the DB documentation, there was a reference to a file called product.sql in interchange/catalogs/construct/products folder to stop it from using the text file. How does this file get in here and what does it contain?? Is this file only created at the time I configured the store?? Do I have to recreate the store to get interchange to use Sybase?? I also noticed some other info in regard to the DBs in the admin tool? Do I need to modify any of these?

Ryan, Please search the archive at http://developer.akopia.com with a part of that error message as the criteria.

But when I try to chech out using a secure server, or call pages on the secure server (except for the main index page) I get a 404 Error. The secure server itself works fine, and I can browse all folders on the secure server (has been activated for test purposes). I can access the main index page through the secure server (https://mydomain.net). If I try to view a different page on my secure server (e.g. https://tvguidecentral.net/cgi- bin/construct/), then I also get a 404 error. In my opinion this is strange, since when I access http://www.mydomain.net/construct I see the same directory structure as when I call https://mydomain.net/construct. The IP addresses are exactly the same for the regular and secure server. Is there anyone who knows what I did wrong and how I can get this secure server to work properly with Interchange. I simply cannot figure out why I get this error. PS1! If you like you can view the setup of the admin client with the standard login details at http://tvguidecentral.net. PS2! I have this problem with both Netscape 6 as well as IE 5 Help highly appreciated.

The tag is used in catalog.cfg in order to alter the way prices are looked up for the [item-price] tag.

What I want is, IC has to send the line or the content of the line HTML " any nice message"; as soon as possible to the agent. But it seems to me, IC makes the whole pages or codes first and send the page to the agent only, if IC is finish with the whole work of building that page. Hmmm....what I want is the same behavior like the site http://www.metager.de . You can use any keyword, what you wisch. You get a part ot the top page immediatly and then, you get every 10 seconds a line like .... 3ί Sekunde ... (30 seconds) 20 Sekunde ... (20 seconds) 10 Sekunde ... (10 seconds) etc. ...and suddenly.... I get a lot of transfered datas by my agent (NS Navigator) and get a list of the results. Another case. You can use the [search-region]. But, you get a page only, if the building of the results page process is finish and not during that process. But if you use [search-region send=1], you get the page immediatly page during the page building by Minivend or Interchange. I want to write some inline perl codes and send some message from such inline perl codes to the agent immadiatliy or ASAP and not at the the end of the building HTML page by IC or the inline perl codes. Am I missing a special codes as a replacement of the option "send=1"? Was is my wrong? Thanks!

However, I'm certainly willing to give jEdit a try if it means a good mode for editing IC files. The alternative is to write an interchange-mode for xemacs. Not something I'm looking forward to. Thanks for your effort in getting it to work. My first impression of jEdit is not bad. My first question is about indentation. Have you done anything with that yet? I can't seem to get it to work. I tried to select the whole buffer and Edit->Lines->Indent Selected Lines. That basically left-justified the whole file. I'm guessing this is a simple "indent this line to be the same as the one before it." I guess I was hoping for (x)emac's smart indenting. [time passes] OK, I've now actually read the interchange.xml file and the documenation from jEdit on writing modes. It looks like you've made a really good start. I will hack on it a little bit and send you a patch. Actually, i'm going to look closer at how to create new modes for xemacs and see how it compares with what jEdit has. It looks like it should be too hard to flush out what you have. -- (__) Doug Alcorn <doug@lathi.net> http://www.lathi.net chat:lathinet@yahoo|aol oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait.

The Java & PHP modes indent well. Also there are different styles of indentation like the GNU one, and I really don't know that much about any of them (yet). In jEdit, select a block of text and Alt+Arrow Key and it will manually indent. Please let me know how the xemacs thing goes... I learned a lot just from looking at other modes. -Chris > > I'm a fairly long-time xemacs user.

The process is operational as the results page returns the standard "No entries found for ..." so I know it is passing the search specs I have coordinate set to true (1) and wonder if the stack of fields could be the cause. Was the order reversed in the new IC? The version for RH7. Before I go hacking my code to death I thought I would check and see if anyone has hit this bump before. It acts as though it is not reading the file or not reading it properly.

Interchange has an inbuilt limitation, of which I have complained and patched for those who are interested. The limitation is in the common adjust code and means that you can have at max 20 shops in interchange each using Common Adjust separatly while each has access to each others products, if those products are kept in separate db files.

Poor code slows it way down. Your primary concern is simultaneous traffic. Since it is dynamic in nature each request takes time to build. more requests = more resources required. So if you are talking a hit and miss type of sites should be no real problem but I would still up the ram to at least 128. You will notice performance decreases as traffic flow increases. The machine seems strong enough just minus RAM. Steve "Marcelo F. De Paula" wrote: > Steve, > > To start I'll run 4 stores and a db with 100 product each. > This should increase to 10 or more.

Bobby, It is not difficult to setup Verisign on your system if it is a supported platform (check the requirements for their payflow pro software). The only setup needed on the IC side can be found in the eg directory of the tar distribution, there is a file called 'signio' or 'verisign' (Signio was the name of the company prior to merging, use Signio and Verisign when searching the archives). It basically consists of changing a path to the binary, put a few directives in the catalog.cfg and testing. The process works like so: 1. User enters CC info and presses checkout 2. IC calls custom charge routine 'signio' which in turn calls pay flow pro binary. 3. Pay flow pro opens a secure link with Verisign requesting either Authorization (if you want to wait to charge once it ships) or Sale (charge right now). 4. The result codes come back and are parsed by the routine which then either accepts the request or denies it with errors. 5. IC interprets the return codes and either displays the errors on the checkout form or finishes the order and the receipt is shown. Verisign's support will only go as far as helping you with the Pay Flow pro setup, I do not think they have anyone that is IC aware (at least not that I have talked too). If you are running on the alpha platform I'm available to help you setup the Java SDK from Compaq and get the Java version of PfPro running (it's a pain!)

I've been using Authorize.net for over a year (not with IC), and there was only one time when they were down. I'm quite happy with them. Their setup fee was a little high ($395 through Cyberauthorize), but the monthly gateway fee is only $30. But you pay another $10 to the bank that sponsors you. It sounds like several people are using IC with Authorize.net successfully, and I'm planning to migrate to it over the next couple of months.

I want to host several businesses' storefronts on our web server. To do so we require that each business have their own Internet Merchant Account. Therefore, we would essentially be a Master Merchant. Royal Bank here in Canada doesn't provide Master Merchant account status. They referred me to another company called internetsecure (www.internetsecure.com). I was wondering what's the best way I can achieve my goal? This is the only thing holding us back from starting our business. After this we can scope out our customer base and if that's good we can see a lawyer and get the ball rolling. A few more questions though: If we offload the task of internet merchant accounts to say internetsecure.com for example, do they give us the SSL certificates to stick on our server? So like joeblow.whatever.org is a vhost and that business signed up with internetsecure.com through us to get their internet merchant account, internetsecure.com gave us the ssl certs and we put them on our server for the vhost joeblow.whatever.org and that is their online storefront (catalog) with interchange. Is that how it works? I need to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle here... any help would be appreciated... thanks! From: rohlf at life.bio.sunysb.edu (F.

You should avoid FrontPage completely. It messes up your html/IC code completely. I use Allaire Home Site. It has a perfect ftp-client that works like browsing your own HDD and editing files directly from there. It has an inbuilt browser (some sort of IE) that can map the pages trough the IC-server. You just jump between edit and browse-mode. You have just to remember to set the file saving mode to Unix...!

Hey there, I had a similar problem last week just before the catalog was going into production use online - very inconvenient, I must say. Here's my theory on what happened to me... I was having some packet loss problems between my machine and the server whilst editing the shipping table via the IC admin interface. My submits kept failing. I restarted IC a few times. It was horribly slow. My maching ran out of memory, and I noticed IC was using along the lines of 150MB of memory. My shipping.asc file had grown to 50mbs, and when I opened it in vi, it had a HUGE number of "///" in it. Very odd... at the end of the file was the good shipping data, so I cut the file up to that point. Restarted IC and all worked well. I'm thinking IC went into some type of loop while editing the file due to network problems and the IC server had choking on such a large file. Try nuking the corrupt parts of the shipping.asc file and restarting the IC server. .. .good luck! -Jud ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas N.

God I always love this : > one! (-: FrontPage YUCK! Yes, front page sucks. However, blanket statements like this are just wrong. Let me preface: I am a Perl who works only on Linux workstations. I know a great many designers who are professional and nationally recognized who use Dream Weaver. As a developer, I hate revieving their code but I also love their work. It is the constant struggle between the forces. What is good for programmers is not always good for designers. We can't be so narrow minded as to expect them to conform to what we like, likewise for them. Also, it is important to remember that when editing interchange pages and components, it is not HTML that you are editing, it is interchange templates. Thinking that way, you quickly realize that forefitting the HTML syntax highlighting is something one can live with. The front page note suggests the origional asker doen't know HTML ( not knocking you, just guessing ) and doesn't care to learn. My suggestion: 1) pick up a copy of DreamWeaver, 2) Ask your developers to use HTML comment style tags ( you *can* do this right? or am I thinking TT? ) and that shouldn't freak out DreamWeaver too much. I hold no legal accountablilty if DreamWeaver wrecks your "insert buzzwords here" web site. : Actually, I let the graphic artists use whatever they are : comfortable with, then clean up the raw html and wedge in the : interchange tags where needed.

As a side note, at one time I spent hundreds of hours trying to integrate FrontPage '97/98 with (at that time) Minivend. It was a losing proposition, as when I delved into the SDK I found quite a few limitations and not a few bugs. Though I am sure they have been fixed somewhat, the non-open nature of FrontPage makes it like pulling teeth to get information about the SDK. Add the bad security problems of the FrontPage publisher and it became clear that it was time to give it up. (I probably would never have started if it had been a Microsoft product to begin with -- perhaps noone else remembers Vermeer, who they bought it from.) Another problem I found was that FrontPage "masterminded" the HTML, relocating comments to whereever if wanted, urlencoding things that should have been left untouched, etc. They have since added the equivalent of a <notouch> tag, but I was soured on FrontPage forever at that point. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> Experience is what allows you to recognize a mistake the second time you make it. -- unknown From: davidb at communitylink.com (davidb ) Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 09:27:21 -0600 Subject: [ic] Basket won't go anwhere I just tested out my new catalog before inputting any data to make sure that I could place an order and to be certain that the secure server worked.

It is being designed specifically for editing of an Interchange site/sites. And as usual I am taking any help anyone wants to provide. You can view the project at: http://www.wubs.org/~steve/patricia/ I also submitted it to sourceforge and was approved but at this point have had problem logging in to their site.

Larry, If you add a '*' in the password field in the access.asc file it will indeed block access to this user. If you look at the ":orders" group((in access.asc) it provides an example on how to "lock" this from becoming a login account. Best, Jason Korkin.

The groups exists, I think, as a sort of template user. When creating a new user, one can select which group the new user will belong to, which in turn causes it to inherit that group's permissions. In all actuality, there should be a better way to define groups apart from prepending a colon to a username.

You have a very capable web interface for site management available which the non admin type should be able to use with minimal problems. If your friend is answering your UNIX questions I would look to either that person to handle installation/admin or a service provider that is already set up. Then once in place you simply access your site through the interface to make any mods you desire. You need someone who knows a bit about Apache along with UNIX, and SSL. If you are using SQL you will need someone who can at least set up the SQL user account and make sure Interchange is "talking" to it. Just a few thoughts.

We require that all of our customers login before checking out. So I assume (although I haven't verified) that a person comes along, sees the login screen and just hits login OR worse yet the login screen doesn't show up because the site thinks the person is logged in do to the empty username. Once the user logs on they are able to see the information for the last person that placed an order and they must clear out the fields with their own information to proceed. This is a security risk because a person's personal information can be viewed. Can we have a fix put into IC to force that a username not be an empty string? I'm going to test my theory but I believe the blank username was created during the ORDER DESK entry because each order after that one was messed up in some way due to the blank username.

Information has been hard to come by, but I would share these tips: 1. Costco credit card processing is cheap. (But doesn't work out of the box with IC -- one would simply need to utilize their trivial HTTP POST for processing). 2. Verisign is medium-priced, but works (almost) out of the box with IC. 3. Verisign is willing to negotiate rates and fees (don't ask me how, I didn't do it). There has to be some massive online resource about this kind of thing that have pooled information. (If not, there should be).

In fact, if there is interest, I can pass it along and they might get excited and do it regardless of me. A common misconception about ibill is that they don't offer gateway processing if you have your own merchant account-- they do, and they're very reliable. I actually think highly of them, it just so happens that I hate my latest shopping cart and I'm looking for a new one.

I would say to: o create the "interch" user ahead of time (e-smith-manager might work, otherwise try 'useradd') o Make sure user has shell access: #chsh -s "/bin/bash" interch o Install all the perl modules you need o (I recommend avoiding MySQL until you get IC working with the file database) o Install interchange from the tarball (makecat, etc.) o Report problems with details to the list :-) You might run into trouble with the firewall rules, httpd.conf setup, etc. things. But try it first and see what happens. Have you installed IC on a regular redhat box before? If not, then I recommend doing that first.

My experience with Interchange has been good. I have been programming since 1978, mostly on Mainframes and AS/400's moving to Internet and Web applications for only the last 3 years. I downloaded Interchange, tarball, onto our servers, installed it in December. I did the install and had the Contruct Something demo up and running in 4 developement sites in 1 day. The first one is going live in a week. With persistance and dedication you can accomplish anything, with some backend technical help it is somewhat easier. It is a large task that can be quite frustrating for someone learning "Web Stuff" as well as Interchange and will take a lot of time to deliver the first solid site. Interchange is a good package and will cost you nothing but time to get into it, or move to something else. BTW, when you create the demo catalogs, create them in the directory that they will reside in for production. Moving one is a real pain, unless I have missed something. Ron D.

I am trying to get in to my admin area, thanks to all of you for telling me about access.asc. and the :backup back door. That is the only way I could get in to my site. So I go in to /var/lib/interchange/construct/products/access.asc I see a line in access.asc describing my admin user and it says.... username password name last_login super etc admin 123 Alan Young 985173411 1 2ndDayAir Ground NextDay etc The password 123 got there because I logged in as :backup and I clicked administration, then tables, then I chose the table named access. Then I typed 123. Then I went back to telnet and viewed access.asc and there it was, clear as day , the password was 123. But the 123 password never got encrypted when it is stored in access.asc, so when I then try to login as user=admin, password=123 , I never am able to log in, it says Failure: Password mismatch. So the administrative interface is not encrypting my password before it puts it in to my access.asc table. Ideas? Solutions? Suggestions? Is this a bug, or do I have some encryption setting messed up? There are so many parameters to set, I must have missed something in the install maybe.

The quickest way I can think of to solve your trouble is to make another catalog with a different name. Pay close attention to the username and password you enter for Super User (when prompted by makecat). Then copy the access.asc from the products directory of that new catalog to the same place in your existing catalog. This should force access.gdbm to be rebuilt with the new Admin entries - you can delete access.gdbm, just to ensure that it gets rebuilt. When all is well and you can log in to the admin area, you can delete the other catalog and remove it from interchange.cfg. - Ed L. =============================================================== **** Virtual Hosting w/private IC Installation, $65/month! **** --------------------------------------------------------------- New Media E.M.S.

I was trying to get-url on a page within minivend on the same machine I was running the get-url usertag. Whenever I tried another machine the page came in perfectly. However, when I tried again on the same machine running the script and asking for a page within minivend, it would hang up again. I do not know why it was hanging whenever I requested a page from within the minivend on the same machine. I could get a page from minivend or interchange from another computer but not from the one running the script. It may be come crazy configuration problem.

Re: [ic] Re: Big Login Problem, :backup, access.Asc , and an encryption problem Thanks to you all for the help, I guess I got it working now, what a nightmare. I can now succesfully log in and out, but I cannot successfully change the password using the administrative interface, as the adfministrative interface saves things in clear text, not encrypted. But at least it is working now. I am sure that is a bug, I think... Ok now to the next step.... configuration management. The way I understand Interchange to work, I change the setup using the administrative interface, and then the page changes are "live" as soon as I click save. What if I want to work on a "pending" store with proposed changes and then when the boss says it is okay, flip a switch and it is now the live copy? I need to flip flop between copies so that there is always a "live shop" and a "proposed next version" shop? I am thinking that I just copy the live directory to a backup directory, and then that is that, but what problems will I come against? How do I keep the sales records rolling forward, but the catalog and web site content managed by a "flip-flop" type approach? What tables should always keep moving forward. In other words, using the "Akopia Three Tiered Approach" Technical Implementor Site Designer Store Administrator The site designer wants to work on a proposed site and see it functioning in a test mode before it is posted live. The we want to flip a switch and see the new content go public, ans start working on a new version offline again The store administrator does NOT want to go back and lose sales records, so there is no "configuration management" need for him. The technical implementor (poor old me) is trying to figure out how to make this happen. Can the many Interchange tables be identified as to their function and split out so that a version control/configuration management type system could be put in place? If this content configuration management feature were put in to place, this system would rival the Vignette Story Server big boys. What is the scope of a project that would add these features?

After looking at the code in order_returns.ora, and seeing how the index is creted there, the above statement should read (I think): CREATE INDEX order_returns_order_number ON order_returns (order_number) I issued that command from the postgres command line utility (psql); it worked...

Integrating is as simple as providing a button on the checkout page. But completing the order is at the whim of the buyer, who would have to click the link paypal.com provides on the payment final page. That is the problem with most of the send-them-to-a-website payment providers. Possible workarounds include setting up an email parser that would receive emailed order notifications from PayPal and complete the order, etc. And if by some chance PayPal allows a "silent post" then it can be completed. Unfortunately they appear to have no developer integration links on their website; I have looked (as recently as two days ago) and there is no technical info on how to integrate. Right now there is and can be no module. No one has ever ponied up with consulting dollars to have us integrate one, and there has been no user-integrated module. And without technical info, I won't spend my time working in the dark to do one.

Hi Folks, By way of introduction, my name's Tim and I've been lurking for a while. I'm starting an e-commerce hosting company with a friend. I'm enthusiastic about Open Source, and hoping Interchange will allow us to base the business on an open source solution, despite some customers' insistance that they want to go with Brand X. My question: I want to run makecat from the command line in a non-interactive mode. i.e. I want to specify all paramters on the command line, and then have makecat "just do it", sending only error messages to the standard output when necessary. I've been using something like this: makecat --serverconf=blah --servername=blahblah --demotype=construct ...etc. This sets the defaults correctly on the prompts for each of the paramters I set, but does not prevent makecat from prompting in the shell. I also tried enclosing the entire thing in a perl system() function, with no change in results. I'm sorry if this is really too basic a question, I've only been writing perl for about 3 months now. thanks! tzf +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Find my contact info online at http://tzf.net/contact From: cfm at maine.com (cfm at maine.com ) Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 18:11:51 -0500 Subject: [ic] makecat non-interactive?

A perl script that simply did the typical substitutions in catalog.cfg. It seems like most people use the stock construct pages. So makecat makes sense for those. But if you start with your own templates, then it is pretty easy to build a minimal perl script that iterates a template tree into a destination tree. That's more or less what we do now. Automating makecat is probably the hard way.

If you set up a store based on one of those demos and did not remove all default user and group accounts, you should immediately make the following change: In all installed catalog directories, as well as the catalog templates in the Interchange software directory, edit the products/access.asc file, changing this line: :backup<tab><tab>Backup to look like this: :backup<tab>*<tab>Backup As with all other Interchange database source files, the placement of the tabs is significant. You could also simply delete that line altogether. Make sure to restart Interchange so your change takes effect. This problem has been fixed in Interchange 4.6.4, to be released shortly. As well as blocking password access on that group, there are now also tighter checks on login attempts. Group logins, user names with invalid characters, and blank passwords will all be rejected without consulting the access database. Many thanks to Jud Harris <jud-lists@copernica.com> for finding and reporting this problem on the interchange-users list: http://lists.akopia.com/pipermail/interchange-users/2001-March/005939.html Jon From: ary at communicationfactory.com (Young Family ) Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 17:40:56 -0800 Subject: [ic] Wholesale vs Retail Hello How have you all been managing selling at wholesale vs selling at retail?

Ramana, What you need to do is for the new tables you create....now this is for a mysql setup.... you simply create a files called category_tbl.mysql subcategorey_tbl.mysql these will go into /yourhomedirectory/catalogdirectory/dbconf/mysql/ you will se other files in there. Open one and look at the format. This is what the admin uses to know what tables your talking about in mysql. Simply copy the outline of one of these files. I suggest looking at the products.mysql file, siunce it will show you the largest examples of different fields. Of course you will have to add a field to your products table called subcategory so you will have to change products.mysql also. Once these files are created and updated you simply need to restart interchange to have access to them. If you are using postgres you would look at the files in the postgres directory and so forth depending on what type of database your using. If you need any further help, you can email me directly.

The problem is that when I receive the order by e-mail only the credit card is encrypted, the user information and product purchased aren't. If i open the store/order/oderder_file, the order is all encrypted but in the e-mail only the credit card info is encrypted. Is there a possible to receive all the order encrypted by e-mail?

I get the same behavior when attempting a get_url() for a domain on the same machine, but only if the server is running primary DNS for the domain locally. On other machines which host domains which are resolved by remote DNS, it is not a problem. I have not taken any time to try to determine why this causes a problem, but it is verified and repeatable. The workaround is to use the domains IP address instead of the domain name in the get_url() call; then it works fine regardless. - Ed L. =============================================================== **** Virtual Hosting w/private IC Installation, $65/month! **** --------------------------------------------------------------- New Media E.M.S.

Lazy again :) NO, you can just edit the catalog.cfg for your existing catalog: Variable SOMESQL 1 Variable MYSQL 1 #Variable PGSQL #Variable ORACLE Variable SQLDSN dbi:mysql:databasename Variable SQLDB databasename Variable SQLUSER username Variable SQLPASS password Create a database with 'databasename' in mysql and grant all privileges to username@localhost identified by 'password'. Then make the changes to you catalog.cfg (like above) and restart interchange. If all goes well you should see the table creation messages echoed to the screen and the data will be be imported. You can look in yourcat/dbconf/mysql to see the table definition files. You will need to have the proper Perl modules installed before doing any of this - they are listed in the docs for SQL Support. - Ed L. >GL > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Jason Kohles <jkohles@redhat.com> >To: <interchange-users@lists.akopia.com> >Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 9:33 AM >Subject: Re: [ic] MYsql? > > > > On Fri, Mar 23, 2001 at 09:29:46AM -0700, George Loch wrote: > > > How many folks have taken the construct demo and converted it to a mysql >DB > > > instead of the flat file?

So to save yourself some grief, just accept the makecat defaults. ------------------------------------- =========================================== Malcolm Webb =========================================== From: lmorley at flexihost.com (LM ) Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 18:59:49 -0800 Subject: [ic] default_db/*.dbm files Does anyone know of a spot where the contents of the .dbm files in default_db are documented? default_db/products.dbm contains the keywords "HOT" and "INDEX"; it seems to be the only one of the .dbm files that contains those particular keywords.

Most of what I do, and contribute, is the result of solving a problem for myself or a client - if someone else with a little more time to spare gets inspired, more power to them, they have my blessing to re engineer as they see fit - that's what open source is all about (FYI - Most of [encrypt] is a straight copy of the IC encrypt routine in Order.pm, modified to make sense as a usertag). >o For security, one might derive a [encrypt] that doesn't take options or >a key, but uses preset options from catalog.cfg. ...it was actually for the enhancement of security that I allowed it.

(anecdotally *is* > a word, BTW) I'm using mod_interchange. I'm not sure it's that much of a performance boost. What it saves you is the instantiation time of the t/vlink executable. I guess it's removing a layer out of the communications as well. I think it simplifies security (no setuid cgi scripts). IMHO it makes the setup of apache cleaner. It's much more obvious what you're doing in the httpd.conf when you setup a directory as interchange-hander instead of just generic ScriptAlias. But, don't take my spin on performance as gospel. I've not done any benchmarking (in fact, I don't know how to benchmark web apps). However, originally I was trying to run IC on a sparc IPX (a 40MHz plain ol' sparc chip) with 64MB RAM. It was very slow. I switched over to mod_interchange hoping it would buy me _something_. It did get me some performance gain (just because instantiating a new interchange process was so heavy for that box). My page load times went from 30 seconds per page to about 20 - 25 seconds per page. It wasn't enough to let me stay on that box! As I said, this isn't a benchmark. I doubt if you have a dual pentium box with 128MB+ RAM you will see a 33% gain in performance. Anyway, you asked for anecdotes and I'm giving you mine. :) -- (__) Doug Alcorn <doug@lathi.net> http://www.lathi.net oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait.

The technical implementor (poor old me) is trying to figure out how to make this happen. Can the many Interchange tables be identified as to their function and split out so that a version control/configuration management type system could be put in place?

The README file indicates that the only changes made from mod_minivend was renaming instances of "Minivend" to "Interchange"... So no additional functionality has been added at this point? And for those of you interested, YES it will increase performance. If you are using a standard CGI executable for handling IC requests, your webserver is allocating resources, forking and then executing that cgi program. Once finished it needs to clean up what's left (properly terminate the process) and reclaim the resources it was given/used. This causes quite a slowdown when you have any significant level of traffic. Moving the functionality of the basic cgi script needed to communicate with IC into a Apache module significantly increases speed because no resources need to be allocated or a process forked. Apache can communicate directly with the running IC process. -- Jeff Carnahan - jcarnahan@networq.com From: chc at mninter.net (Curt Hauge ) Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2001 00:43:51 -0600 Subject: [ic] Spreadsheet edit in admin displays incorrectly Hi list, 4.6.3 tarball, Perl 5.005, Linux Mandrake 6.0, Construct, default DB Anyone seen this?

Pretty large. The key is the definiton. Interchange is so flexible that it is hard to constrain it to a form where you do this with a button. I think if you designed a catalog from the ground up to allow this then you could. But it would require discipline to stay within that framework. After having done this many times, my suggestions are: 1. Identify the files that make up the new content. These usually include the pages/ directory, order/login/form profiles in etc/, the receipt in etc/, and the databases. 2. Keep your log and session files in a separate set of directories. 3. Have two database DSNs, one for changing tables like orderline/transactions/userdb and one for the static product information. Inventory, if you have it, might be kept in the orderline/transaction area. That way, when you make the switchover, you can keep the table names the same without having to do anything but switch the base DSN. 4. Keep all growable files in separate directories. 5. Keep counter files in the logs/ directory with the growable files. (We don't do this in the demo.) Once you have done this, it is a question of building a script that saves the old, copies the appropriate directories over the old, and restarts. The reason we have never done this in a canned fashion is that it is so easy for people to break by using Interchange in a way that doesn't fit those definitions. If we purported to do the switchover and a variance corrupted their data, we would feel responsible. There is a price to flexibility, and this is one of the line items to that price. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. -- Francis Bacon From: jon at akopia.com (Jon Jensen ) Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2001 10:45:08 -0600 (CST) Subject: [ic] Interchange 4.6.4 now available On Fri, 23 Mar 2001, Jeff Carnahan wrote: > It looks like this didn't make it into the distribution (no > mod_interchange directory in dist/src) .. although I do see it in CVS Boy, a silly mistake. I forgot to update the MANIFEST to include the mod_interchange files in the packages. That was the only thing wrong, and Interchange itself wasn't affected at all, so I've simply uploaded a new set of 4.6.4 packages with the dist/src/mod_interchange directory included. If you're missing mod_interchange and want to use it, download the newer package. If you're not using it, there's no difference. Sorry for overlooking that! Note that mod_interchange is not used by the installer; it is in the enhancement category with mod_perl_tlink and the other alternative link programs.

In the Admin UI in Preferences under any category (this example is Item Display) the spreadsheet edit function displays in many columns and three rows: It looks like it is set up as a "table to rotate". The spreadsheet can be rotated in certain circumstances, but I am not sure that is used any more. I don't know how your $Values->{ui_tables_to_rotate} got set, for I didn't think I did that anywhere nowadays. You can stop this behavior by just removing the two lines in UI/pages/admin/spread.html that have [rotate-table ...] and [/rotate-table].

I do some of this type of thing with CVS: o CVS setup (lots of loginfo hacks to do this...) o Build your catalog, and tag all the files STABLE or something o /var/ic/catalog_stable (tagged STABLE) o Then, copy it to /var/ic/catalog_devel (tagged DEVEL) o Commits that are tagged STABLE: o cvs update /var/ic/catalog_stable/$FILE o Commits that are tagged DEVEL: o cvs update /var/ic/catalog_devel/$FILE o This requires loginfo will be smart enough to go to the right directory to do cvs update $FILE depending on the TAG of the file committed.

We have what I would think should be a pretty straight-forward shipping policy. It's a shipping by price formula. If the customer spends between $.01 and $99.99, they get Priority Mail for $5.00. If they spend $100.00 or more, Priority is free. Then they have the options of using Express Mail Overnight: $.01-$99.99 for $20.00, $100.00-$199.99 for $10.00, and more than that they can take Express for free. Now, here's my problem. In my own store, I went into the administration section, into shipping, and deleted the shipping options that were there. I created a new method, called it USPSPriorityMail, and labeled it uspspm. Went through all of the setup on that page, and then went to the shipping options: edit page. There is no label at the top, the start range is showing 0 in an editable box, the end range is (infinity) and is uneditable, number showing in charge type, and 0 in charge amount. I change the start range to 0.01 and the charge amount to 5.00, then click OK. Nothing changes. Do it again, click on finished. Nothing changes. Try to add a new range. Nothing happens. Try to delete the range that is there. Nothing happens. So I decided to do what I did with the products and inventory lists, to save time, and just download the file that it pulls from and edit in that. Except the only file I can find that says anything about shipping is shipping.asc, and it can't be the one I'm wanting because it still has the old Construct Something shipping methods in it. I am completely stumped. Like I said, I've tried on mine and the demo, and I get the same results each time. Could anyone help me with this, please? What am I missing? Thanks so much in advance. bri From: jonc at webmaint.com (Jonathan Clark ) Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 12:50:43 +0100 Subject: [ic] Sales Tax - how to set the VAT (UK) > I would like to know how to set the VAT so it is calculated on to > the shopping > cart and prices displayed @17.5% for all orders in the UK. > I have looked on the website (developer resources) at: I do pretty much what the developer site says: in catalog.cfg: SalesTax tax_code this tells ic to use what is in the tax_code value as a reference to the tax to use. and on ord/checkout.html: [perl] $Values->{tax_code} = 'VAT'; return; [/perl] although, equally I suppose I could use: [value name=tax_code set=VAT] Then, the bit which actually sets the tax rate, in the preferences section of the admin interface: TAXAREA: VAT TAXRATE: VAT=17.5 TAXSHIPPING: VAT (alternatively, this can be done through the Tax section in admin) This method, as it is, applies VAT to all shipping locations which has been fine for me as all shops have shipped within the uk only.

And, like the Old Maid that is about to get married, I've got a LOT of questions, and no idea of where to start. Here are 2 of the most pressing ones: 1. The help file says that I can set up an almost unlimited number of depths, like creating sub-directories on a hard drive. I'm not seeing how to do this. Assume that on the left side, I have a category of mails. Under that, I want to have 3 categories: common nails, finishing nails, and cement nails. Under common nails, I need to list 4 manufacturers - Comp A, Comp B, Comp C, Comp D. The finishing nails come from 5 different manufacturers, and the cement nails from 3 other manufacturers. Under each of those manufacturers are 6 different sizes, or items. So, there is a top level - NAILS The second level is 'Type of Nails' The third level is 'Brand of nails' The fourth level is the 'Size of Nails' How do I get these areas created and linked? 2. Quantity pricing: Company A puts 100 nails in 1 box, and 10 boxes in a case. Company B puts 150 nails in 1 box, and 5 boxes in a case. Company C puts 500 nails in 1 box, and 2 boxes in a case. Now, I want to price 1 nail at 10 cents for company A, 15 cents for company B, and 5 cents for company C. The box prices will, of course, be different for each company, as will the case prices. >From what I can see, the quantity pricing seems to be locked on to 5, 10, 25, and 100. How do I change this so that each item for sale has it's own quantity for qualifying for a quantity discount, and putting in the appropriate price?

Now I would like to wrap around that the <A HREF="xxx"></A> HTML tags, where the xxx is another filed in the area database and will be the name of a file in the page directory.

To get the link to use (I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I didn't think of one), I just set that search as a category in my menu for a few minutes, copied the shortcut, and then took it back out again. Then you take the shortcut that you just copied, paste it, remove everything after the "n.html" at the end, and then just change the categories you're searching as you see fit. Here's an example link based on the one I made for mine: <a href="http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/scan/fi=products/st=db/co=1/sf= category/se=CATEGORYHERE/op=rm/nu=0/cs=1/bs=1/ml=50/tf=sku/to=n.html"> And of course, change the yourdomain.com/cgi-bin to your own path, and CATEGORYHERE to the category you're wanting it to pull up.

I don't think the use of the word "significantly" is warranted here. On a reasonably loaded box, Linux can fork and exec quite efficiently. However, given the above condition (that you are under significant level of traffic) it will provide a savings. If your load is mostly below 1.0, I don't think you will see a "significant" improvement.

IC does not store any credit-card information. After the order info is e-mailed out, the CC# is gone. Of course, you could hack IC to behave differently.

Have a seperate table for discount codes. On the basket page, have an input for them to type in the discount code with it's own little "apply discount" submit button. Then you can take this entered value and look it up. If it exists, [discount] your totals.

Yes, negative prices do work (as of 4.03). We use them for "Free Saturday shipping" or "Free this or that" promotions. You will probably want some sort of logic to control how they show up (or don't). We use a "status" field in all our catalogs, -1 error/delete, 0 suspend/hide, 1 active. A negative item is not at all the same as a "discount" in usual sense. > > I don't know, I haven't tried.

I downloaded the tarball into /usr/local/src (just my personal hang-up) I ran 'tar -xzvf interchange*' This created it's own sub-directory for interchange. Do a cd to that sub-directory and run ./configure This is going to install all of the stuff that you need to make the Interchange server work before you can set up any catalogs.

I recommend that, as much as possible, you stick to the locations and the preferences that it wants to put things. NOTE: This process can take (literally) several hours. It needs to gather up a lot of things off of the Internet. The program is intelligent enough to go and get them and to install them. I've played with too many packages that will make you go and find some other package, install it, and get it running, and then you have to come back and start over, and then go and get other packages. I've had to go several layers deep to get this all working. Interchange is not like that. It will go and get the stuff, install it and test it. But, frequently it needs to start all over again once it gets a necessary package installed. At the end, you may end up with an error. If you run ./configure again, after it's got everything in that it wants, you should get an error-free installation. It's ONLY after this that you can start installing catalogs. This sets up and installs the server. Without an operational server, you can't set up any catalogs or do anything. -= Jim =- From: hjackson at ProSavvy.com (Herman Jackson ) Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 10:53:17 -0700 Subject: [ic] ProSavvy contact info: Herman Jackson/Procurement Services Specia This message is in MIME format.

However many of my products are videos and CD-ROM's, and for our old cart we created images that are actually collages of screen shots from the videos or CD's. The default sizes of these images is too small. Is there a way to easily configure the store to display larger images, or open a big image in a separate window perhaps? I'm also not crazy about the fact that mostly the store items are listed with small text hyperlinks, and you have to click on text to see a picture. I would prefer to have thumbnails along with the text hyperlinks. Again is this "going against the grain" of the store?

How to send out confirmation Dan, Thanks for the reply. Send mail is in fact working. The reason I know this, is because I, as the administrator/OrderToPerson get a copy of the order for processing. However I a copy does not get sent to the customer. It seems to me that there also would have to be some way to configure this "to the customer email." After searching more through the archives I have found other pieces ... but can not seem to put it all together. I am confused as to if a lot of the references in the docs and FAQs are out of date. There is talk about a report. file, a report.html file and a form_mail.cfg file. I can find the report.html, and I think I understand that one. I can not however find either the form_mail.cfg or the report. file. Is there any documentation on this? What files are actually needed? What changes or modifications are needed in the catalog.cfg files? When you say that this confirmation email functionality works out of the box, do you mean the simple demo? I see a lot of reference to that demo in the documentation, however I did not get that with my distribution. I got "construct" and those files do not seem to be included. What am I missing? Could someone send me a copy of the needed configuration changes?

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

The simplest solution is put the email usertag file in interchange/usertag and restart - this will make it a server-level tag with the needed permission, and all should be well. In fact, Interchange is distributed this way: Usertag email should already be there. - Ed L. =============================================================== **** Virtual Hosting w/private IC Installation, $65/month! **** --------------------------------------------------------------- New Media E.M.S.

IC 4.6.4 tarball - Construct - Default DB - Linux Mandrake 6.0 - Perl 5.6 I have been after this problem for awhile, and now I am on a different Linux server with a fresh install and the same problem. However, I have now discovered that if I put a copy of interchange.cfg in my "virtual" root (which would be /home/htdocs/my_space), expireall functions as expected!(on this box, not other). Look below at line 103 in expireall. It seems like it is not using the /interchange directory when looking for interchange.cfg - it just looks for interchange.cfg in /my_space. The error logs report nothing. Here is the scenario. My crontab looks like this: 5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /home/htdocs/my_space/interchange/bin/interchange -serve 1,11,21,31,41,51 * * * * /home/htdocs/my_space/interchange/bin/expireall -r I am receiving the following error in server mail after cron runs expireall: Couldn't read interchange.cfg: No such file or directory It appears to come from line 103 in interchange/bin/expireall: open(GLOBAL, "< $Global::ConfigFile") or die "Couldn't read $Global::ConfigFile: $!\n"; What is going on in this line to cause it to die? Perhaps it is when it starts up and configures the variables? This is my second installation of Interchange with this problem.

I have tried it with the base=table option to try to force the lookups to a particular table, still to not avail. It used to be (in MV) that one could pull data from one or several arbitrary tables (and products for that matter) thusly: go to my_fly.html: [page my_fly akey]Go[/page] [fly-list code="[data session arg]"] [item-code] [item-field foo] #this would get 'foo' from table products for the current key [item-data info bar] #this would get 'bar' from table info for the current key [/fly-list] ...it doesn't seem to work this way any more.

Any suggestions? It is my uneducated guess that if you don't have the correct version of Perl that there is nothing that you can say, or do, that is going to make it work! Version 4.6.3 refused to install for me on Perl 5.004. I moved it to a machine that had Perl 5.005 - the minimum requirement for IC 4.6.3 to install. And, it did install. However, in the process, it went out and got the latest version of Perl and did the complete install for it. I just don't see any way around this. If you are trying to install IC on a computer that you don't have root access on, and the Perl is too old, my best recommendation would be to contact the System Administrator and explain that you want to use a program that requires a newer Perl than he has, and would he please upgrade his Perl? You might offer to download the latest and greatest for him, or maybe you have to offer to come in and clean his toilets, or something (-: to get him to do this for you. When I upgraded from Perl 4 to Perl 5, there were some programs that got 'broken', and I had to keep both on the system for a while. That may be why he hasn't upgraded. Also, he may have Perl 5 on on his system, but under a different name - like perl5.6, or something. But, in my mind, the simplest solution is to work with the System Administrator of the system that is hosting you to get the situation corrected. If you can't get the System Administrator to upgrade his Perl, then you need to find a different host. Perhaps one that already has an Interchange Server running. (Just my 2 cents.

Hopefully someone will be able to answer your problem. (I can't figure out why it works on mine but not on yours -- I didn't do any special mods). What version of IC are you using? Do you get any error.log output? Have you tried using your "OrdersTo" e-mail address on a fictionional order? (Maybe it only works for that address, in that case you should get to distinct emails to the same email). The do-it-yourself route includes: checkout the [email] tag. (or is it [mail]?). It is very simple, and you can use it to custom build the emails you want to send out. It might be a usertag.

Sure, there is a way. Look at templates/components/carts* pages, strip away all the HTML magic, then take whatever code you like and put it where you like (maybe LEFTRIGHT_TOP or something).

Many Thanks to Mike and all the others !!! My question: I want to make a shop with a lot of different admins (but only ONE shop) Those admins should have only the right to edit their articles in the database, so they could delete, change or add items to the database. Is there a chance to do this with Interchange directly, or could it be the better way to program a new Interface for them, outside of Interchange ?? I know, that there are a lot questions like this on this list, but i could not find a really good answer to it. So please help. Thanks for reading this Greetings Oliver P.S.

The catalog, static html and images are there also, presumably under public_html. This requires more space. Alternately you can have your provider load the software onto the server if they are willing, and the catalogue and configuration remain under your own home directory. You need the support to tell you the actual paths to these directories again, but you install your site. The provider does a straightforward installation of minivend. All prompted, and nothing too dangerous. A benefit to them. If it's within your means you could also run the interchange software and catalogue on a different server, and then access this through inet sockets. You probably wouldn't want to do this unless you had a server in place with the hosting service. Back to the hosting costs. If interchange is an option for you and you cannot arive at an agreement with the current hosting service, look for a host that offers interchange. You can often get SQL database access with these.

From: craig at hotmix.com.au (Craig Beasland ) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 19:03:28 +0800 Subject: [ic] Recursive Perl Function? Hi there, We would like to add a simple Bulletin Board system to one of our systems. The simple solution is to add a function which display a line from the BBtable, calls itself to see if there are any "children" which in turn calls itself and so on. Fairly simple to do in Visual Basic my programming language of choice until recently, but far more difficult in Interchange. I experimented with a UserTag, but then the UserTag would need to call itself using an Interchange tag. Using a simple [loop search...] and a nested [loop prefix search...] I can get a simple 2 level one going, and presumably I could nest in a third and fourth level but this seems very inefficient and I must limit the level of threading. It cant be too different from nesting categories and products with multiple levels of categorisation, which I have done in a drill-down type approach, but this time I want to show the results in a single table on a single screen. eg Message 1 Sender Message 1 response Sender Next threaded response Sender Message 1 another response Message 2 and so on. Any ideas on a different/better way to do this. cheers craig From: neillunn at gunz.com.au (Neil Lunn ) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 21:31:11 +1000 Subject: [ic] Recursive Perl Function? > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig Beasland [mailto:craig@hotmix.com.au] > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 9:03 PM > To: interchange-users@lists.akopia.com > Subject: [ic] Recursive Perl Function? > > > Hi there, > > We would like to add a simple Bulletin Board system to one of > our systems. > The simple solution is to add a function which display a line from the > BBtable, calls itself to see if there are any "children" > which in turn calls > itself and so on. > > Fairly simple to do in Visual Basic my programming language > of choice until Nah, I won't say it! > recently, but far more difficult in Interchange.

Whatever output you require for the UserTag should be parsed and presented. Maybe you want to generate the "table" output within the function (given input parameters) and then output it to the page. i.e. One tag. Maybe you are not putting a sub within a sub i.e.. Think of the UserTag sub as a program, the recursive function is a subroutine within it. Shouldn't be anything wrong with that. It's legal in Perl. __________________________________________________________________________ Please Note : Only the intended recipient is authorised to access or use this e-mail.

I know IC can can use more tables (separate files that act as one database) but don't know what commands need to be put in the config file. Example: Say the big database has 10 columns of data (sku, price, x1, x2, x3, xxx) I want to use 10 files instead each having one column of data and the SKU for line reference. file1= sku, price file2= sku, x1 file3= sku, x2 What commands do I put in catalog.cfg, to load these tables (files)? I also want to use the 'One-Click searches in a drop down box' so searches would be confined to only one file saving 90% of the time (as it doesn't search the other columns).

Does one need use [mvasp][/mvasp] surrounded code in order to loop through a [query][/query]'s returned values? I have this done using [query arrayref="myArray"] and then using $Tmp->{myArray} to fetch the ref inside [mvasp][/mvasp]...but i was wondering if there is a simpler way to do it? I cant avoid using [query] since I'm using pattern matching operator with MySQL. I just need the structure with a few hints on which commands would do the trick and I'll read in the doc...

I guess you probably know that the answers to both lay hidden in undocumented features - just a drop in the bucket compared to those that remain uncovered. Interchange just keeps getting better. Is there an initiative for the documentation to keep pace? Does Red Hat/Akopia need assistance with this? As much as users used to groan about the docs back in the Minivend days, they were far better and more complete then, than they are now, in my opinion. - Ed L. =============================================================== **** Virtual Hosting w/private IC Installation, $65/month! **** --------------------------------------------------------------- New Media E.M.S.

I'm running the store on iServer (FreeBSD) -- it's a slightly quirky environment -- but IC (4.6.4) runs fine in all other respects (MySQL support too). My store essentially is a hacked version of construct. I read all the documentation I could find, and tried to address those issues, but am still getting the following: bad custom payment GlobalSub: authorizenet /cgi-bin/istore.cgi/process.html I've included globalsub/authorizenet in the interchange.cfg.

I followed the suggestion to test the module with perl, and it executes fine (sans GlobalSub >>EOF and EOF lines). I have Net::SSLeay and OpenSSL 0.9.4 is already installed by iServer. Net::SSLeay sees it, but it's above my home directory. My Secure Server Cert *is* installed and working. I ran a test script consisting basically of use Net::SSLeay to confirm that Perl sees the module. Are there other things I should be looking for?

Interchange supports this, but there had been no UI support for administering the table_control hash in the access table.

I had been meaning to do this for some time, but I finally got around to it because of your message.

I guess you probably know that the answers to both lay hidden in undocumented features - just a drop in the bucket compared to those that remain uncovered. Interchange just keeps getting better. Is there an initiative for the documentation to keep pace? Does Red Hat/Akopia need assistance with this? As much as users used to groan about the docs back in the Minivend days, they were far better and more complete then, than they are now, in my opinion. - Ed L. =============================================================== **** Virtual Hosting w/private IC Installation, $65/month! **** --------------------------------------------------------------- New Media E.M.S.

For example, the "Warehouse Management" and Fulfillment house integration stuff sounds pretty interesting.

I will probably not fix it in 4.6.3, but have done in 4.7.x CVS. I have attached the 4.7.x patch -- basically it is as simple I am not putting it in stable yet, as it isn't tested fully enough and this is a change with conceivable interactions.

How would I set it up so they can build their own store, products database, etc without becoming root or interch user? I do virtual domain hosting and I would prefer if they could build their stores in their respective web directories... I.e. /home/dan/public_html/interchange/..... Is this possible, and how would I do that? So far I am quite happy with it. I think the tutorial missed to mention that intrchage has to be restarted after modifying interchange.cfg...

One of the features that i like the most is seen on the demo store. The products rotate themselves each time the page is visited so the customers keep seeing fresh items every time. it doesn't get stale and boring! It's also a bit faster to learn how to manipulate and can become EXTREMELY flexible to your needs!

From the day we started, to entering 3,900 inventory items, to going live it took a whole SEVEN (7) days for us. most of the time was spent with inventory. And that was with only ONE person doing the entire site! Try that with All-Commerce! We spent over a month just trying to get it installed and figured out! Just my 2c worth.....

Obvisouly the overhead is minimal (no daemon running), but the feature set is much smaller than that of Interchange because its not as extensible. We prefer Interchange (or Minivend); but then again we've been using it for a **really** long time. We tend to use Zelerate for customers who need to have a "basic" form of e-commerce selling just a few products; that is where Zelerates product works best. If you have a catalog with hundreds or thousands of items, then I'd look more towards Interchange. If you have more questions, email me off the list and I'd be happy to work them out with you.

Hopefully you don't belong to the humour challenged. IC is a strong and flexible platform with a high learning curve and parts of it in develop ment. You should get help from the people who are insiders and that's basically the people who developed it or the ones who used it from the beginning and have always updated and are familiar with the latest changes. So, there are some hats out there worth looking after. P.S. Not affiliated to any hats, that's just my little revenge for RH bashing all over lately.

Has anybody found a way to implement it? Seems to me that if one does not know **how** to do it you run a high risk of missing something. You certainly cannot leave things on the floor just because linux is supposed to be secure. It gives you all the rope you need to hang yourself any number of ways. The **easiest** way to go is standard interchange, eg put pgp on the machine or pay someone who can rather than trying to implement a workaround. That is the safest too, until you learn how to otherwise. $.02 cfm > > Cheers > > Jon > > Jim wrote: > > > I've been through the archives, and didn't see an answer and being new > > some things, wonder: > > > > I have a web site with access to a secure server (https://yadda...). > > I do not have PGP here or on the server. > > I need the order info emailed or, can a salesrep login and access sales > > info, including credit card info without PGP?

Has anybody found a way to implement it? Nope. Because unless you write a complicated and potentially insecure script to decrypt the card, you have to store the credit card number in the clear on the disk. We don't do that. If you want to figure it out yourself and do it, so be it, but we certainly won't help. One way to do it is to use https and pass a GPG pass-phrase that way every time, but that is not really secure either. We encourage the use of GPG/PGP as the means of getting credit card numbers. That, you can do with Interchange. In fact, it is even quite convenient with a mailer like Eudora, which only prompts you once no matter how many emails you open in the same session. -- Red Hat, Inc., 131 Willow Lane, Floor 2, Oxford, OH 45056 phone +1.513.523.7621 fax 7501 <mheins@redhat.com> Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. -- Francis Bacon From: edl at newmediaems.com (Ed LaFrance ) Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 16:09:21 -0800 Subject: [ic] linking to html from result.html page At 05:35 PM 03/30/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Sorry, to ask again so soon but it is not clear to me where to look in the >documentation for this. > >In the results.html page it says: <a href="[area [item-code]]">....</a> to >build a link for when someone clicks on the product description.

In my opinion, Interchange with a RH contract *IS* better than Intershop, Miva, and friends. Without a contract, it can be better or worse, depending on your team's skill level. I like Mike Heins' recent analogy: Interchange is the engine, you are the auto manufacturer. It is a powerful, flexible engine, but much of the quality is up to you. (Or, you can buy manufacturing help with a RH contract). > * Redhat positions Interchange as a Blue Martini and Broadvision > killer. Is this true? Does Interchange kick butt? The greatest strength of Interchange, IMO, is that whatever Interchange doesn't do today, you can make it do (i.e. open source). And if you don't have the skills/time to make IC do it, then you can pay someone to make it do it for you (i.e. RH contract). > * I have a very competent front-end development team that also have > really solid back-end skills. Will they be able to do all of the set-up > and integrations work easily or should I choose an established integrator? Many people don't hire based on skillsets, rather based on how quickly they can learn and adapt. If you have the "learn and adapt" variety, then they should be able to learn the ins-and-outs of catalog.cfg manipulation and other interchange installation goodies. But there is a lot to be said for the value of cleanly separated responsibility between installation, hosting, management, administration and programming, design, hacking, etc. > * Redhat is offering me a service contract. Should I buy it if I > choose to work with my own team and not an established Interchange integrator? You can start without a contract, sure (I did). But if you need help, you might find yourself clamoring for a "fireman" later on.(and that's OK -- RH has plenty of firemen on hand). But often times it is better in the long term to have the groundwork, planning, etc. stages guided all along, cultivating a more "general contractor"-esqe relationship with RH E-biz. > * What can you tell me, pro/con about using Interchange? Pro: One thing that really stands out for me is the database connectivity in IC. It allows a common access method for so many backend datasources, and front-end programmers don't need to know if it is flatfile, Mysql, Pgsql, Oracle, or ODBC over a 2400 baud phoneline that they are accessing. It just works. Amazing. Con: Reading the documentation is like a mouth full of feathers on a hot desert afternoon. It sure would be nice to have Orielly or Open Docs Publishing do a book on it.

I believe Akopia has a similar function, but I stopped trying to really use the remote admin features of minivend a long time ago. Using this approach you do not have the burden of having to you have your rep understand pgp, encryption or anything else, he can just be a sales guy. Also, this gives the chance to build information dynamically on the strengths of minivend (in my case, I can generate the information dynamically on an as-need basis) and I don't have to worry about invoicing information going out across the wire. The additional benefit is, a sales rep would be hard pressed to say they didn't get the information and you can use that same link to convey other timely information (to your sales team, intranet advertising so to say). Also, technically, we should all be paying for commercial licenses of pgp if we use it in a commerical endeavor, so there is a slight barrier to using the pgp approach (legitimately), especially in a economically scalable solution. However, with the wonders of web magic and https, we can define strict access requirements using certs (even if they're just self signed for internal use).

Sorry for the repost - it seems the list didn't like my signature on the last post. Whatever ... Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cant get interchange daemon to run - either the version I manually compiled or the rpm. I am currently using the rpm version for rh 6.x when I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange start I get an ok, but there is no daemon in my process table. when I do a /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange status, I get the message : interchange dead but subsys locked there are no messages in /var/log/messages or var/log/interchange/construct.error.log if I manually run: su -c "/usr/sbin/interchange -r" interch no errors are reported. If I run strace su -c "/usr/sbin/interchange -r" interch it seems to exit cleanly with a munmap followed by a _exit(256) = ? but nothing else.

Check and see if your Perl has threading enabled. You can set DEBUG to 1 in interchange.cfg and do a "tail -f /tmp/icdebug" to see if something shows up.

This is not entirely true - the construct demo, as it installed itself on my machine, takes the line by line ship-to:'s and writes them into the individual order files in the orders/ directory. Although I would like this information to display in the GUI, I have not had time to pump it in (yet). So I just manually check the orders.

But it still will not address what is usually the question, multiple shipping calculations line-by-line. Very possible, but there are a lot of pitfalls to it.

Is there some Linux grep command thing that can search all of the html template pages and replace the hard-coded colors with a call to the afore-mentioned minivend variable?

Hello All I started this, I will just add one more set of comments and then I am done. I think it may be easy for some people to forget how intimidating this system is to a first time user. I am not disputing its power, but I would not even have attempted to use this system unless I knew that there was some sort of listserv to support questions. For the record, I just went through the entire PDF library at http://developer.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/dev/index.html searching for 127.0.0.1 (which was the topic of my original question) and I found ONE reference , referring to the host at which interchange will be listening.(It was NOT pertinent to my question). Summation: My answer was NOT in the manual. In fact, that is why I joined the list, I thought/hoped there would be receptivity to questions. The preponderance of your comments today all confirm to me that on the whole this is a group of people who seem to have not minded my asking the original question. Plus I learned a new place to search for answers. The footer > > Interchange-users mailing list > > Interchange-users@lists.akopia.com > > http://lists.akopia.com/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users that comes with each mail that goes out to this list was NOT helpful to me, since it pointed me to a link that does NOT have searchability. Maybe the owner of the list could change that footer to add a pointer to the search engine archive link. http://developer.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/ which I have now searched after someone kindly pointed it out to me, and my answer was about the 8th listing down. I sincerely do not want to waste people's valuable time, I sincerely DO RTFM, and I will now know to search the archives, and I thank you all for the help I have received so far. Please forgive any trouble I may have caused. I promise that once I am up to speed I will try and give something back. I am trying to add several features to my own "Construct Us" site that seem to be necessary for me.. 1) XML export to my accounting server 2) My own Interchange based guest book 3) My own Interchange "Links Page" 4) A FAQ database 5) A wish list My hope is to be able to work on these and then contribute them back when they are functional. I am not in a position to do that yet since I am still on the climbing side of the learning curve.
