Formatting Attribute name in shopping cart

[WorkwearHouse]

Hi All

I want to change the look of the list of attribute names as they appear in the cart for a particular product.

I know that I can do this by adding the relevant HTML formatting to the Attribute Name field for the product. However, this formatting is then carried on into the order confirmation email and the downloaded order details as well.

i.e. I get the following appearing in the order details:

<b>Colour</b>: Claret / Heather, <BR><b>Size</b>: Small

Looks how I want it in the cart, but looks a mess in the order details.

Can anyone suggest an alternative way of doing this?

Thanks

Bob

im not sure about attributes myself... but is there not a seperate NETQUOTEVAR for the attribute name and the attribute choice?

and if not could you not just set it up so you have a CUSTOMVAR for the attribute name and then have:

<b>CUSTOMVAR:ATTRIBNAME:</b> NETQUOTEVAR:ATTRIBVALUE

or similiar?

Custom properties aren't easily available in the Cart and Checkout (unless you want to do a lot of Perl patching).

You could patch ActinicOrder.pl to strip out <...> in the attribute names. You'd need to do this in the routine.

sub GetSaferBlob

look for

		foreach $pComponent (@{$CurrentItem{'COMPONENTS'}})
			{
			my $sProdName = $$pComponent{'NAME'};

add the line below

			$sProdName =~ s/\<.*?\>//g; # strip HTML tags

Also the customer e-mail may need fixing. Look for

sub MailOrderLine

and locate the line

	$sName =~ s/(!!\<|\>!!)//g;						# I hope product names don't contain embedded HTML, but if they do, try to just strip the boundary markers

add below it

	$sName =~ s/\<.*?\>//g; #Remove any HTML tags

I've not tested any of this so that's up to you.

You're a star !!

I found the code you mentioned in OrderScript.pl (not ActinicOrder as per your post). I made the changes you suggested and it works a treat.


Many thanks
Happy new year

Ooops. Sorry about mentioning the wrong script. Bet that confused you a bit.

Hi Norman,

I have a similar issue with HTML tags in the Product Name field being passed through to the customer receipt and the downloaded order - does the above patch work the same for this field also?

Thanks

Different place. Look in OrderScript.pl for

		$objOrderBlob->AddString($$pProduct{"NAME"};

REPLACE it with

		my $tempfix = $$pProduct{"NAME"};
		$tempfix =~ s/(!!\<|\>!!)//g;		# remove any escape tags
		$tempfix =~ s/\<.*?\>//g;		# remove any HTML tags
		$objOrderBlob->AddString($tempfix);

Many, many thanks Norman - will give it a whirl straight away

I edited the post above a couple of times (due to typos - I've only eyeball tested it) so make sure you revisit it now to get the corrected version.

Also the above is only for the downloaded orders. Do you need this for the Customer e-mail as well?

[NormanRouxel]

If you need the customer email fixed then edit OrderScript.pl and

REPLACE

		if (!$bProductSupressed)
			{
			#
			# Add product line
			#
			MailOrderLine( $$pProduct{REFERENCE},
								$$pProduct{NAME},
								$$pOrderDetail{QUANTITY},
								$CurrentItem{'PRICE'},
								$CurrentItem{'COST'},
								$nDescriptionColumnWidth,
								@TableFormat
								);
			if ($CurrentItem{'DDLINK'} ne "")
				{
				push @aDownloadLinks, MailDownloadLink($$pProduct{REFERENCE}, $$pProduct{NAME}, $CurrentItem{'DDLINK'});
				}
			}

WITH

		if (!$bProductSupressed)
			{
			#
			# Add product line
			#
			my $tempfix = $$pProduct{"NAME"};
			$tempfix =~ s/(!!\<|\>!!)//g;		# remove any escape tags
			$tempfix =~ s/\<.*?\>//g;		# remove any HTML tags
			MailOrderLine( $$pProduct{REFERENCE},
								$tempfix,
								$$pOrderDetail{QUANTITY},
								$CurrentItem{'PRICE'},
								$CurrentItem{'COST'},
								$nDescriptionColumnWidth,
								@TableFormat
								);
			if ($CurrentItem{'DDLINK'} ne "")
				{
				push @aDownloadLinks, MailDownloadLink($$pProduct{REFERENCE}, $tempfix, $CurrentItem{'DDLINK'});
				}
			}

Didn't quite strip out all the tags in the customer receipt but did in the downloaded order

originally had !!<<div align=center"><h3>Product Name</h3></div>>!!

now just get !!Product Name>!! in the customer receipt email - close enough - thanks again Norman

[NormanRouxel]

Weird. If you're using that bigger patch (2 above) it should remove all !!< and >!! before it strips anything (of minimum length) between < and >

After a nightmare evening of killing a website - NEVER EVER hit the innocent looking "cancel" button during an upload <this must be some kind of in-house humour with Actinic> the whole lot went haywire.

Having finally got the site back online (thanks to James at Actinic) I implemented the above patch and this time it worked a treat - must have missed a "{" or something originally - just thought I should let others know in case they want to use the above patch to remove the HTML from product lines. Thanks again to Norman.
