I've written a free set of patches that give you a large number of Other Info Prompts on the product dialogue. See www.rouxel.cwc.net/actinicstuff.html for the download.

Hi there

One of our forum member Norman has written a hack including Multiple Other Info Prompts.

Please check his website -----> Norman Website

Please note:
Actinic is not able to provide any detailed support for script changes made. If you find that there is a problem, an original copy of the script can be found within the 'Original' folder in your installation. Copy this into your site folder

Kind Regards

OK that patch has created just what i was looking for. Many Thanks.

Error with Patching

This patch from Norman is the answer to my problem too, however I can't get it to work.

I am using catalogue 6.1.1.0.0.0.ddva (Evaluation).
I have patched twice now, and fully refreshed site and I get the following CGI error :

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


Global symbol "$sHTML" requires explicit package name at cgi-bin/ao000001.pm line 8602.
Unmatched right curly bracket at cgi-bin/ao000001.pm line 8603, at end of line
syntax error at cgi-bin/ao000001.pm line 8603, near "}"
Compilation failed in require at e:\domains\aiimhost.com\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\ss000001.pl line 36.

I have "Quantity on Product Page Set".

Any one have any ideas?

it looks like you haven't declared a variable before using it.

You've made a mistake in patching ActinicOrder.pm.

The line number (8603) doesn't help much as that's the end of the file. This usually means that you've either ommitted or added an extra curly bracket { or } somewhere.

Lovely.

Don't know what I did different, but I patched ActinicOrder.pm again and this time it worked.

Thanks for the pointer.
Sorry to be a dunce!!
