Hi All,
Hope some advice can be given here. I have searched the forums and found a little - none too helpful - advice about what I want to do.
I run a charity website and we previously used vshop3 which could be tailored to send the order details to our PSP; Secpay. Secpay have details of how to encode the details of an order into their transaction details.
Here is a snippet from their integration manual:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.5. Order Details Parameters
It is possible to send product or service information to SECPay with any given transaction. This information is then stored on the SECPay servers for your convenience and is available for reference through reports at a later date.
There are two methods of sending order details parameters to SECPay.
A.5.1. Order Details In String Format
The order field has the following internal structure. It consists of a set of product identifier and amount pairs with a multiplier attached to the amount. as "prod,amountxquantity" The string requires some means of being delimited. Delimiters MUST NOT appear in the actual data (e.g. in the product code) or your string will not be parsed correctly and you will lose information. There are four delimiters, ';', ',', '=' and 'x'.
Example
<input type=”hidden” name=”order” value=”prod=funny_book,item_amount=18.50;prod=sad_book,item_amount=16.50”>
or
<input type=”hidden” name=”order” value=”prod=funny_book,item_amount=18.50x2;prod=sad_book,item_amount=16.50x3”>
Notice that in the second example we have specified a quantity for each of the products.
An optional parameter 'delimit' is available at the start of the order string and can be used to change the default delimiters (this can be useful if all your products contain one of our delimiters in their product codes!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone tell me how I can modify the actinic template files to include such information? The previous thread mentioned above says that modification of the PERL files is required and that this would be too much bother to do. If it's just a script file then someone must have done it before and can show us all how it's done?
Any help or advice is warmly recieved.
Regards
Chas
