Where are order details kept?

[Paul@Cite]

Hi,

Does anyone know orders are placed on the server when a successful order has been made. Im thinking about interacting with the orders waiting on the server somehow before the "Retrieve Orders" button is clicked within actinic?

Does anyone know where the details are stored? Are they stored in plain-text or are they encrypted in some way?

Thanks!

They get stored in files with a .ord extenion, such as TT01RF000001.ord after the order number. They are always encrypted - good luck interacting with them.

Damn!

2 mins after posting i just discovered the .ord files created when an order is placed. And your right ... encrypted!

Which script is it then generates an .ord file though?

Im trying to create an .ord file on the server using a scripting language without actually making an order through actinic.

Ouch!

OrderScript.pm. Also see the included files for the rest. It'll be a B I G job.

as i thought!

Which is a shame!

Could i do this in some other tricky way?

E.g. find the variables that are passed to the orderscript during the checkout process, and then mimic that process to create an order file?
