order blob

[vintagewinegift]

Morning all! I get in bright and breezy to catch up on our orders and i am greeted with a warning message when uploading orders from the server that says "the order blob has an invalid magic number the blob is corrupt"

I thought Mr Blobby was dead!! Can anyone assist. i have imported our backed up version from last night but to no avail.

Any suggestions greatfully received

Hi Giles

Please go to your site1 folder which is in "C:\Program Files\Actinic Ecommerce v6\Sites\Site1", and delete all .pl and .pm files. Then go to your "Original" folder which is in "C:\Program Files\Actinic Ecommerce v6\Original" and here copy all .pl and .pm and paste them into your site1 folder.

Do a website refresh, then try and download the orders. Should be okay.

Kind Regards

I recently upgraded to Developer 7 (from 6) and have experienced the same problem. I tried the suggested fix and it did not work. Any other suggestions?

Sorted - I was being stupid!

Chris,

You've got an error in your artwork upload. the line

<form action="/forms/formmail.cgi" method="post">enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1">

has a spurious ">" before enctype. You need a space instead.

Thanks for the comment Norman,

Correction made but the file upload function is not working. Ideally I would love to have it embedded as a module within the Actinic store at the various places where we need clients to submit images.

Is there anyone out there can offer some pointers?

Also keen to locate a matrix format so that we can show a table of images and purchase options.

Thanks

Check if your server has PHP available. If so then it should be easy to add a file upload capability to any page. Any PHP tutorial will help you do that. Google for "php file upload" and you'll get lots.

The only thing to be careful of is that Actinic keeps each product in a FORM and you can't nest forms. The fix is to put the upload code at the very bottom of your product details and precede it with </form> (to close the Actinic one).

ALternatively open a popup page that contains the upload form.

You might be best starting a new thread about this as it's well off the subject of this one.

Here's http://www.drillpine.biz/v7fastframe..._Products.html an example of an Actinic page doing just that.
