shipping update and others

Hey Jason

now that I am on track with the validations, i am trying to get a couple of other things sorted.

1. on the attached image, how do I change the item number to show the sku instead? I can find where I would change that
2. on the cart.php page, the shipping is being added correctly but if you update the cart the shipping doesnt update accordingly (shipping is based on cart value)
3. I made a test purchase the other day and on return to the site, the cart wasnt cleared...

Thanks

Jamie

1) on the confirm page, find the following form element:

<input type="hidden" name="item_number_<?php echo $eCart1_Index+1; ?>" id="item_number_<?php echo $eCart1_Index+1; ?>" value="<?php echo $eCart1->DisplayInfo("ID") ?>" />

and change it to use the sku cart object column instead of ID

NOTE: Im pretty sure paypal requires the ID to be numeric.

2) The shipping is recalculated when the checkout page passes to the confirm page.

3) Add the following code on the checkout success page before the </html> tag.

php:
<?php

// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
@session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
    
$params session_get_cookie_params();
    @
setcookie(session_name(), ''time() - 42000,
        
$params["path"], $params["domain"],
        
$params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
    );
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
@session_destroy();
@
session_regenerate_id();
?>

1. I am obviosuly missing a step here.

I have added the SKU column in the eCart object within server behaviours... do I need to add it elsewhere?

I have then changed the code you said from

<input type="hidden" name="item_number_<?php echo $SimplyFluff_Index+1; ?>" id="item_number_<?php echo $SimplyFluff_Index+1; ?>" value="<?php echo $SimplyFluff->DisplayInfo("ID") ?>" />


to

<input type="hidden" name="item_sku_<?php echo $SimplyFluff_Index+1; ?>" id="item_sku_<?php echo $SimplyFluff_Index+1; ?>" value="<?php echo $SimplyFluff->DisplayInfo("SKU") ?>" />



2. great - didnt realise that

3. have put it between </body> and </html> - is that right?

Cheers

Jamie

1) make sure the add to cart buttons are passing a value for the SKU column

3) That will work.

for testing, create a new page, add a cart display manager to it, on the second step of the display manager, select the option to include all columns, then send a link where i can see the problem.

you changed the name of the form element....

you cannot change the form element name.

paypal expects the form element to be named item_number, you cannot change it to
item_sku,

that is not an element name that paypal is expecting....

you can change the value to pass the sku instead of ID, but you cannot change the name...
