Kryptronic Software Support Forum

scoutch, again, why don't you post the answer here so that we all can see how it is done?  This forum is about sharing and support. 

Thanks.

Yes, I prefer to have you post on this forum instead of divulging my account info. Thanks.

Since you already integrated the MOD into the 5.0 version, could you e-mail me the file so that I could work it out on 5.1 ? The integration will take less time this way.

In the file ./cgi-bin/library/modules/ste_cart.pl in the routine 'ste_cart_add_cgi_api_proc' look for:

$cart_prodoptions .= "$display_name: $field_value; ";

And change to:

$cart_prodoptions .= "$display_name: $field_value<BR>";

Then look for:

$cart_prodoptions .= "$sel_name; ";

And change to:

$cart_prodoptions .= "$sel_name<BR>";

Then look for:

$cart_prodoptions .= "; ";

And change to:

$cart_prodoptions .= "<BR>";

Then find:

if ($cart_prodoptions ne "") {

chop($cart_prodoptions);
chop($cart_prodoptions);

} ######### End of if statement.

And change to:

if ($cart_prodoptions ne "") {

chop($cart_prodoptions);
chop($cart_prodoptions);
chop($cart_prodoptions);
chop($cart_prodoptions);

} ######### End of if statement.

I installed the above mod at . However, I have run across something strange.  The custom greek section of the site uses the remote api functions.  Only the custom greek gear section is getting formatted with linebreaks.  The rest of the store still uses the semi colon as the separater when the data is sent to the shopping cart.

Any ideas on why this is?

Thanks Nick.  I only edited the one... so I'm going back and will edit the other.  In addition, I would love to see Zuma have this type of layout functionality by default.  Seems to be an easier format to read when viewing the cart or reading the order emails.

I now have this mod installed fully and its working great!

I was thinking that it would be nice to format the options with different colors from the options names... so that it would look something like this...

Size:
Material:
Graphic:

Anyone ever had to do anything similar?  Would love to see this mod.

Nick,

I made modifications to my ste_cart.pl similar to what you outlined in your post earlier. However, I wanted selected options on seperate lines in addition to each being seperated by a newline, like this:


Option 4


Option 2
Option 3


Option 1
Option 3
Option 4

I accomplished this by adding additional <BR>s and wrapping the display variables in <B> tags. For example, my code for the TEXTBOX options looks like this:

if ($display_type eq "TEXTBOX" || $display_type eq "TEXTAREA") {

$field_value = $q->param($form_id);

if ($field_value ne "") {

$cart_prodoptions .= "<BR><B>$display_name:</B><BR> $field_value<BR> ";
$reqopt_found = "Y";

} ######### End of if statement.

I made similar changes to the other option types.

The good news is that my cart and my printable invoices look just the way I want them to look. The bad news is that the formatting for my internal and customer confirmation emails have gotten a little screwed-up.

I didn't realize that the ste_cart_add_cgi_api_proc would effect the emails?!?

My emails now look rather weird when it comes to the product option print outs. Some of them are printed one after the other, line after line, while some of them look more like the Invoice with newline breaks between each.

For example, my product / option listings look something like this:

Item: XKS 586 Computer
(XKS111) - $2000.00
Quantity: 1


Category I - Choose 1 Item:
80 Meg Hard DriveCategory II - Choose 2 Items:  100 Meg Zip Drive w/ Audio Runner  Flat Screen Monitor (17 in.)Category III - Choose 3 Items:  Watcom 543 12 in. Tablet  Logitech Optical Mouse WD 120 MEG External Tape Backup Drive and Router   

Add a Surround Sound Speaker System?
3. Sony - Superplayer 44

Add a Laser Printer?
2. HP 1100 Laser Jet

Add a Themed Picture Frame?:
No, thanks.


How do I get my emails straightened out (without messing up my Invoices now)? I really don't care if the emails revert back to showing all of the options crunched together as in the first part of my example, or if I can get them to show up on new lines like on the Invoice. However, they need to be all one format or the other - consistency is a good thing, right? 

Your time and expertise are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

No changes were made to anything other than ste_cart.pl.

My changes look PERFECT in the cart and on the Invoice, but the emails are a total mess.

After looking at this in more detail and experimenting with various changes (including Nav's suggestion) I still haven't been able to get my emails straightened out, but I do have some more information which may be useful in debugging.

The problem occurs only with Options which allow more than a single selection. While these options format correctly in the cart and the invoice, they run together in the emails. Therefore the issue seems to be specific to the code encapsulated by the following if statement:

elsif ($display_type eq "RADIO" || $display_type eq "SELECT-MULT" || $display_type eq "CHECKBOX") {

The code pertaining to $display_type TEXTBOX or TEXTAREA or SELECT seems to be formatting just fine in the cart, the invoice, and the emails.

Here is what I currently have in the suspect section of code:

} elsif ($display_type eq "RADIO" || $display_type eq "SELECT-MULT" || $display_type eq "CHECKBOX") {

@field_value = $q->param($form_id);

if (@field_value) {

$cart_prodoptions .= "<BR><B>$display_name:</B><BR> ";
$reqopt_found = "Y";

foreach $field_value(@field_value) {

my ($sel_id,$sel_name,$sel_pricech,$sel_price,$sel_weightch,$sel_weight,$sel_inv) = split(/\|/,$field_value);

if ($cart_prodquantity > "$sel_inv" && $inv eq "Y") {

$inventory_level_exceeded = "Y";
$cart_prodquantity = "$sel_inv";

} ######### End of if statement.

$cart_prodoptions .= "$sel_name<BR>";

if ($sel_pricech eq "I" && $sel_price > "0") {

$cart_amtprod = ($cart_amtprod + $sel_price);

} elsif ($sel_pricech eq "D" && $sel_price > "0") {

$cart_amtprod = ($cart_amtprod - $sel_price);

} ######### End of if statement.

if ($sel_weightch eq "I" && $sel_weight > "0") {

$cart_prodshipweight = ($cart_prodshipweight + $sel_weight);

} elsif ($sel_weightch eq "D" && $sel_weight > "0") {

$cart_prodshipweight = ($cart_prodshipweight - $sel_weight);

} ######### End of if statement.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I guess I may need to look at the ste_order.pl file and see if I can figure out what's going on there.

The only changes I've made for this mod so far have all been confined to the  ste_cart.pl file. The changes have successfully modified the formatting in the cart and the invoice, but the emails seem to be ignoring the new formatting when the Option added includes more than one selection.

Seems odd.

I don't see $sel_name being added to $cart_prodoptions in that code.  Is it further down in the code?
