What's new in each version of Interchange
(since the version 4.8 branch)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.0.1 released 2004-03-29.
Security
--------
* Plug a security hole which allows an attacker to expose arbitrary variable
contents by using an URL like
http://shop.example.com/cgi-bin/store/__SQLUSER__.
All Interchange applications using the standard "missing" special page
from the demo catalog or a similar one are vulnerable to this attack.
The attacker may learn the SQL access information for your Interchange
application and use this information to read and manipulate sensitive
data.
* Disallow [ and < in page names when setting MV_PAGE and MV_PREV_PAGE
variables.
* Prevent login information from getting re-saved on a session cancel.
* Define a set of CGI keys that we don't want to save to disk, as
@Global::HideCGI.
* Don't show sensitive (i.e. @Global::HideCGI) CGI variables in a dump.
This allows saving a session to disk for diagnositic purposes in case
of order failure.
Core
----
* Allow [dump no-cgi=1 no-session=1 no-env=1] to finetune dump.
* Tolerate leading whitespace in query in Vend::Form.
Admin
-----
* Fix bug where affiliate reports don't filter based on that.
* Make reports with no specified end_date work.
* Fix missing relocation variables in Vend::Table::Editor found by Paul
Vinciguerra.
Usertags
--------
* history-scan: Make pageonly=1 option work correctly when there's no
History saved in the user's session.
Foundation
----------
* Remove unmatched </FORM> from cart_display component.
Debian
------
* Add libhtml-parser-perl to Build-Depends to keep HTML::Entities
module out of the package (Closes: #224435, thanks to Henrik Holmboe
<elements@hack.se> for the bug report)
* Switch to gettext-based debconf templates (Closes: #235494, thanks to
Martin Quinson <Martin.Quinson@tuxfamily.org> for the patch)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 5.0.0 released 2003-12-15.
Core
----
* Make grouping of items work again.
* Fixed Vend::Table::Common bug which prevented Database property HIDE_FIELD
from working properly.
* On 2002-10-21 Canada Post changed symbol NF to NL to reflect the province of
Newfoundland changing its name to "Newfoundland and Labrador". For details
see:
http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/corporate/about/announcements/newpcode-e.asp
The "province" profile check will now accept both NF and NL, but NF is now
deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
* Limit data part of Vend::File:writefile error message to 120 characters in
order to avoid disk abuse, resolve scalar references.
* Add filter option to [scratch], the same as with [value] and [cgi].
* Tolerate empty CGI key/value pairs to avoid unfriendly 500 errors. We
already tolerated one at the beginning and one or more at the end of the
query parameters:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/index?&id=abcd
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/index?id=abcd&&&&&&
Now these are handled gracefully too:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/index?&&id=abcd
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/index?id=abcd&&&xyz=123
* Don't track admin pages.
* Allow multiline values for [scratch mv_data_enable].
UI
--
* Force user to enter name of new page/template/component name to avoid
server crashes.
* Fix content editor to actually use the selected template for new pages.
* inactive/HIDE_FIELD are always ignored for record display in UI.
* Add table= parameter to [query] calls if table is different from products.
This fixes a rare problem that only occurs when using multiple external
databases in one catalog.
* Improve [flex-select] so that key column can have formatting options
via mv_metadata just like all other columns in a table. The value
that is passed to the flex_editor is unadulterated in all cases.
* Make description and icon of menu item 'Tables' a bit more appropriate.
* Add "-" spacer between items in top menu.
* Remove "Accounting" from menus and replace with "Reports". Not active
by default.
* Remove unused code in item select page.
* Add [traffic-report] tag and modified admin/reports/traffic/ByAffiliate
page which calls it. Now reports on large files without crashing the
system. Probably can handle up to 500 MB files with on any kind of a
reasonable server.
Usertags and Filters
--------------------
* New Usertag [report-table] generates an HTML table based on
the results of a query, with bells and whistles. Can do horizontal
(colspan) and vertical (rowspan) subheaders, apply any Interchange
filter or widget to any column, add a CSS class to any column, link
cell contents (and add parameters to the link based on any column in
the query results), add virtual columns based on internal variables
(such as the line number), and skip rows based on an array of toggles
you specify.
Good for making quick tables, sophisticated reports, and easy forms.
Written by Christopher Wenham <cwenham@synesmedia.com>.
* [formel] fetches the label for the display type from the metadata
if not passed with the parameters.
* Removed unfinished [find] usertag.
* Allow customization of [warnings auto=1] with class, style, extra as in
many IC tags.
* Added new "md5" filter that calls Digest::MD5::md5_hex.
* Let [image] handle maddening new ImageMagick behavior that won't operate on
the file named.
Foundation
----------
* Error handling on account maintenance form works better.
* Fixed issue with checkout page payment forms and Mozilla which
might cause Place Order button to be obscured in some cases.
* Separate shipping addresses now appear in customer email
copy and are logged to the orderline table. Also appear
in UI order view and on ship notice emails when appropriate.
* Fixed a few bugs with RMA demo and added line-item details.
* Change Newfoundland from NF to NL in "state" table.
* Added simple demo of contact form.
* Changes to search form(s) now that HIDE_FIELD works.
* Fix ordering of THEME_CSS so it will be set in high-traffic and
PreFork mode.
Menu
----
* Add code which tells you which is the last row in the menu. Improves
ability to add spacers and other HTML formatting.
Options
-------
* Add inventory function back in. Mysteriously removed during the
Options rewrite.
Payment
-------
* Add Linkpoint payment module.
Jobs
----
* Remove update_locales job, as a consequence of the removal of the
[find] usertag.
Shadow
------
* Add stubs for commit and rollback methods, thanks to Thomas Weiss
<pater.noster@gmx.net> for report.
* Use $Vend::Cfg->{DefaultLocale} as fallback locale. The UI destroys
the $Scratch->{mv_locale} setting and the catalog translation
became inconsistent.
i18n
----
* Add and improve foundation and UI translations.
* localize script is now able to detect backtick quoting in [msg].
Debian
------
* Add Interchange variable MV_GETPPID_BROKEN to
/etc/interchange/features.cfg in order to start Interchange
properly on systems with threaded Perl (Closes: #221939).
* Revive USE_FOUNDATION handling in interchange-ui postinst to
keep 4.8.x interchange-cat-foundation catalogs running.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* Add filter to strip trailing slash on the CGI directory to makecat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interchange 4.9.9 released 2003-10-31.
Core
----
* Remove long-deprecated %Safe hash. Use $CGI, $Carts, $Items, $Config,
$Scratch, and $Values instead of $Safe{cgi} etc.
* Fix locking of NFS sessions.
* Make [bounce ...] more reliable with respect to terminating output
and future parsing.
* Send Content-Size header with downloads.
* Add MD5 password support to UserDB.
To activate, use UserDB "md5" option, i.e.:
UserDB ui md5 1
* Make $Tag object be rebuilt every time a new page is done.
* Fix bug in [PREFIX-discount-subtotal] where quantity was greater
than one. We were overloading the discount_price() routine, which
was dumb, so a new discount_subtotal() routine takes over.
* Add iso_time and null_time options for updating UserDB time_field:
UserDB default null_time 1
UserDB default iso_time 1
* Add stubs for log_error and errstr routines in the database
modules.
* Fix for broken getppid() on Linux systems with threads enabled.
To implement, use
Variable MV_GETPPID_BROKEN 1
in interchange.cfg. It substitutes a syscall(64) for the getppid
call.
This should only be necessary on systems with threads enabled,
which is NOT recommended for IC.
* Allow overriding LENGTH_EXCEPTION_DEFAULT with individual LENGTH_EXCEPTION.
This just makes LENGTH_EXCEPTION accept values like:
Database transactions LENGTH_EXCEPTION_DEFAULT truncate_log
Database transactions LENGTH_EXCEPTION update_date=ignore
* Don't run set_defaults at all for a subcatalog, as they should be set
for the base catalog.
* Allow for SELECT statements in parentheses or other non-word characters.
* Enable [order] tag to specify a variant, not just a base product, when
options are in use, e.g.:
[order code="ABCD" variant="ABCD-XYZ"]Buy now</a>
* Fix a problem where the following worked:
$Tag->price({ code => $sku });
but the following failed:
$Tag->price($sku);
The problem was highlighted by Paul Vinciguerra, in IRC.
* Add date-based counter capability to Vend::CounterFile.
-- In a database, you just add
Database tablename AUTO_NUMBER_DATE 1
To have real autonumbering, you still must define AUTO_NUMBER.
This of course does not work with AUTO_SEQUENCE.
You must make sure your key field type is at least 12 chars.
-- In a counter tag, you do:
[counter file=filename.ctr date=local]
or
$Tag->counter({ file => $fn, date => 'local'});
To define GMT as being used for the numbering, you do:
[counter file=filename.ctr date=gmt]
* Fix problems that GDBM and some other types would not honor HIDE_AUTO_FILES.
* Allow an ActionMap, Autoload, or profile to generate a completely
virtual page and avoid readin() of anything.
* Fix bug that prevented [loop-change foo] from working when the range of
conditions was only 0 and 1.
* Add no_set boolean option to [userdb], which prevents userdb row from
being set with values.
* Don't throw away UseModifier cart modifiers on every cart update.
They can still be updated via CGI mv_item_option if it's set.
* Remove insurance of trailing null fields being included in arrays.
Any traversing of the arrays should be keyed on code/sku anyway,
and that is the only one that needs to be fully populated.
Fix provided by Brian Rogers of Groxis -- caused problems for one
of his custom ordering routines.
* Allow return of page from readin (or readfile in locale mode) without
the locale language substitutions done. This allows proper edits of
pages.
* Allow set of status header even when not doing redirect.
* Fix double-setting of Content-Type header, use proper header
setting routine.
* Never set a cookie when mv_tmp_session in effect.
* Add DeliverImage directive that enables fast IC delivery of
images requested from it.
To enable, do in catalog.cfg:
DeliverImage Yes
If the file extension is present and the MimeType for that extension
begins with "image/", the path will be adjusted to add ImageDir
or ImageDirSecure, and a 302 issued.
This happens before database or session opens, and is quite fast.
Sets $Vend::tmp_session so no cookie is issued.
* Make frequently-used HTML::Entities encode_entities routine available
to embedded Perl.
* Allow timed_build to autocreate directory path when filename with path
component is specified. This makes it easier to do dynamic directories
based on CGI parameters etc. when there are thousands of timed build
files. E.g.:
[timed-build file="timed/@@MV_PAGE@@/[item-code]" minutes=86400] ...
* Avoid cluttering of global logs with
'Attempt to call perl from within Safe'.
* Fix prefork problem that might be biting someone, could cause missing
filters.
* Add ability to access and test the $opt hash for any search
loop.
[loop prefix=top list="a b c"]
[loop list="1 2 3" foo-opt="[top-code]"]
[if-loop-header-param foo_opt]
Foo is there! It is: [loop-header-param foo_opt]
[/if-loop-header-param]
[if-loop-header-param !foo_opt]
Foo is NOT there! It is: [loop-header-param foo_opt]
[/if-loop-header-param]
[if-loop-header-param foo_opt eq a]
Foo is equal to a.
[else]
Foo is NOT equal to a.
[/else]
[/if-loop-header-param]
<br>
[/loop]
<p>
[/loop]
* Add module-version intrinsic test:
<input name=mv_column_op
type=hidden
value="[if module-version Text::Query]aq[else]rm[/else][/if]"
>
* Enhance [PREFIX-alternate] to support
[PREFIX-alternate] Defaults to [value mv_item_alternate] or 2 (same)
[PREFIX-alternate N] Alternate every N items (same)
[PREFIX-alternate except_last] Every time except last in list
[PREFIX-alternate except_first] Every time except last in list
[PREFIX-alternate first_only] Only on the first item
[PREFIX-alternate last_only] Only on the last item
[PREFIX-alternate 0] Alias for first_only
[PREFIX-alternate -1] Alias for except_last
* Move handling of anchor option from tag_area to vendURL.
* Add new facility for storing address books in outboard address table,
instead of an in-record hash, and start framework for adding different
personalities to UserDB.
* Move UserDB's "logout" function to a subroutine so that it can be inherited.
* Add RedirectCache directive which allows redirected page requests to
be set to mv_tmp_session then written to the target from which it was
redirected. This allows a complete web site to be mirrored to static
HTML as it is requested, accompanied with the proper setting of
AcceptRedirect in Interchange and ErrorDocument in the Apache server.
To use:
* Set ErrorDocument 404 to the Interchange URL in Apache.
* Set "AcceptRedirect Yes" in interchange.cfg.
* Set "RedirectCache /var/www/html" in interchange.cfg (use
your document root in place of /var/www/html).
When a page http://yourdomain.tld/subdir/page.html is not found,
Interchange gets a redirect which causes it to set mv_tmp_session=1.
If Interchange doesn't find the page, then it returns "missing" and
no writing is done. If IC does find the page, it is written to
/var/www/html/subdir/page.html and the page will be found on next
access.
Exclude on HTTP server side can be done with permissions -- don't set
it writable by IC daemon if you don't want it written.
* Fix problem where defining blank GlobalSub would kill *all* globalsubs.
* Never issue a session ID on timed-build URL.
* Remove conditional for caching history on Pragma: no-cache -- this is
all wrong. The directive is to this page transaction of Interchange,
i.e. timed-build and such. It should not be used to prevent building
of history, partly because browsers may send it for their own reason.
* Prevent autovivification of $CGI::values{mv_username}, and make CookieLogin
slightly more efficient when already logged in.
* Allow custom increment and decrement routines with inc-routine and
dec-routine options. They can be an inline code reference:
[counter
file=testcount
inc-routine=`sub { shift(@_) + 2 }`
]
[counter
file=testcount
decrement=1
dec-routine=`sub { shift(@_) - 2 }`
]
or a Sub or GlobalSub:
catalog.cfg:
Sub three_steps_forward <<EOR
sub {
my $val = shift; $val += 3; return $val;
}
EOR
Sub two_steps_back <<EOR
sub {
my $val = shift; $val -= 2; return $val;
}
EOR
[counter file=testcount inc-routine=three_steps_forward]
[counter file=testcount dec-routine=two_steps_back decrement=1]
* Add [error auto=1] similar to [warnings auto=1].
* Fix nested [elsif] problem.
* Fix problem with alphabetic sorting of more lists where search results
appeared in the wrong group.
* Add delimiter option to checked/selected tags. Patch provided by
Mat Jones <mat@thinkopensource.com>.
* Implement Paul Vinciguerra's suggestion to not save mv_password in
the History hash.
You can also set up a different NoHistory set via
@Vend::Dispatch::NoHistory = qw/ foo bar mv_credit_card_number /;
Tables
------
* Set up error reporting to be able to catch database errors
and display in session, catalog error.log, or global error.log
1. Logging levels are on a per-table basis, with
defaults that can be set with DatabaseDefault:
DatabaseDefault LOG_ERROR_CATALOG 1
DatabaseDefault LOG_ERROR_SESSION 1
DatabaseDefault LOG_ERROR_GLOBAL 0
DatabaseDefault DIE_ERROR 0
2. Log errors to the catalog error.log by default.
Database inventory LOG_ERROR_CATALOG 0|1*
3. Log errors to the session always if an admin, and
controlled by configuration if not.
Database inventory LOG_ERROR_SESSION 0|1*
This has the effect of giving a big red error message when such
an event as failing to create a record occured. In most cases,
you would be able to use the <-Back button and fix the error
and resubmit.
The error tag is "table foo", where foo is the table.
4. Die at the page level (500 error) only if that is explicit
request in config for that table:
Database inventory DIE_ERROR 0*|1
5. Log errors globally only on explicit request:
Database inventory LOG_ERROR_GLOBAL 0*|1
6. LENGTH_EXCEPTION errors go into warnings if they are handled
with truncate.
* default
* Fix numeric sorting in SQL statements if a field is NUMERIC.
* Allow limits from SQL statement to flow through even if ml="" is set
and let direct_sql.html admin page honor them.
* Fix table names so that we don't have the funky .txt problems
where a SQL query would not work on a DBM database unless
the file name base matched the table name.
* Attempt to regularize error messages so that they can be
more easily translated. Now should have about 50% less
variations.
* Prevent internal server error when $db->row($key) fetches no results
within DBI module.
* Fix bug in DBI module that caused arbitrary column to get set
to primary key instead of to the intended new value.
* Add internal Interchange locking routines and support for GDBM. (Should
work on others as well but is not tested.)
To set internal locking, just put in the config:
Database access IC_LOCKING 1
On GDBM, employs the GDBM_NOLOCK parameter.
It should prevent the errors in access.gdbm when multiple admins are
logged in. It might also serve to make userdb in GDBM somewhat usable.
Search
------
* Add Altavista-style search operator with Text::Query (CPAN) module.
Calls Text::Query::*AdvancedString with op=aq, calls
Text::Query::*SimpleString with op=tq.
Examples:
[loop search="
se=hammer -framing
sf=description
fi=products
st=db
co=yes
rf=*
op=tq
"]
[loop-code] [loop-param description]<br>
[/loop]
[loop search="
se=hammer NEAR framing
sf=description
fi=products
st=db
co=yes
rf=*
op=aq
"]
[loop-code] [loop-param description]<br>
[/loop]
Honors mv_case (-case option), mv_all_chars (-regexp option),
mv_substring_match (-whole option) and mv_exact_match
(-litspace option).
* Add ability to map in custom search routines. In interchange.cfg:
CodeDef find_hammer SearchOp find_hammer
CodeDef find_hammer Routine <<EOR
sub {
my($self, $i, $string, $opname);
#::logDebug("Calling fake SearchOp");
return sub {
#::logDebug("testing with fake SearchOp");
my $string = shift;
$string =~ /hammer/i;
};
}
EOR
Now you can do:
[loop search="
se=hammer NOT framing
sf=description
fi=products
st=db
co=yes
rf=*
op=find_hammer
"]
[loop-code] [loop-param description]<br>
[/loop]
The passed parameters are:
- The search object ($self)
- The index into coordinated search array ($i)
- The pattern to match
- The name of the op (find_hammer in this case)
Must return a sub which receives the data to match and returns
1 if it matches. DOES NOT HONOR mv_negate UNLESS you tell it to.
See Vend::Search::create_text_query for an example of how to
return a proper routine and look in search object for the
associated params.
Payment
-------
* CCVS payment module removed.
* Add support for Canadian PSiGate gateway. Thanks to Gary Benson for his
work and testing.
* Fix potential PreFork problems in AuthorizeNet module.
* Add a "x_ADC_Delim_Character" (set to \037, which is ASCII US)
to replace the default field separator (,). A comma isn't a
very useful default, as people tend to use them in their address.
Problem reported, and fix tested, by John Young in IRC.
Shipping
--------
* Don't cache zero UPS shipping cost.
* UPS no longer accepts UK as a country code for shipments to
Great Britain.
-- did an exception remap for UK --> GB
-- Added UPS_COUNTRY_REMAP code so that this type of thing
can be done elsewhere.
# Remap Monaco to France for UPS
Variable UPS_COUNTRY_REMAP MC=FR
* Add ability to build weight adjustments based on Simple options
settings. Requires a "weight" field in the options table.
* Add hide_error option to suppress error message when no shipping methods
are found.
* Allow comment lines in shipping.asc, with leading # mark.
UI
--
* Add missing user and password to SQL DUMP COMMAND in xfer_catalog
UserTag.
* Remove the Term modules from checks -- they have nothing to do with
IC operation and Term::ReadKey can cause core dumps.
* Remove extra <html> from templates.
* Force name to text variable, so numerical-only names will not cause
crash when a string function is done.
* Minor improvements in backup setup.
-- Let backup tables be explicitly specified in
UI_BACKUP_TABLES.
-- If no UI_BACKUP_TABLES, honor first "backup" then
"!display_filter" in table metadata.
-- Display size of downloadable file.
-- Prevent spurious .html extension on download link.
* Add meta_editor support for MAXLENGTH and JavaScript checks.
* Made default metadata (for merge) match foundation.
* Fix inability to set and retain multiple user groups with fix
provided by Sonny Cook.
* Prevent display of meta database when relocated from meta editor.
* Write the selected PGP/GPG key to the Variable table setting.
* Missing session id added to form in various admin pages
(thanks to Paul Vinciguerra <pvinci@vinciguerra.com> for the patch).
* Add check to disallow invalid option names.
* Old-style simple option updates were ineffective because the
"Commit Changes" button's mv_nextpage was set to "admin/item"
instead of @@MV_PAGE@@.
* Allow tracking number to be updated on ship.
Fix contributed by Sebastian Braun.
* Get rid of strange extra loop for billing information in customer_view
pages that just caused extra queries for [bill-data userdb ...] calls.
* Check whether userdb is LARGE instead of transactions on customer page.
* Ensure that secure mode is forced before we bounce to login.
* Fix the long-standing problem that sorts and groupings would not
work on query-by-example search returns.
* Fix problem with creating new option when no prior options exist.
Fix found by Reid Sutherland (reid-ic@thirddimension.net).
* Add ability to edit pages using Mozilla composer, or any HTML editor
that can publish with an HTTP put. Includes ability to upload images
with the files, create new files, and more.
* ONLY operates on the area between <!-- BEGIN CONTENT --> and
<!-- END CONTENT -->.
* Pulls the page title from the <title></title> of the PUT page.
* If a new page is PUT, it is wrapped with the template used in
the nearest DirectoryIndex ("index" by default). If a new file
"trucks/chevy/mom.html" is created and does not exist, the following
files will be used as the template in this order if they exist:
trucks/chevy/index
trucks/index
index
* Update [if-mm ...] to have a "pagematch" and "filematch" function
that allows security checks based on the files and pages fields
in the access table. This allows certain users to have publish
permission only on certain image and page directories. For
instance, if the user "bubba" is only to edit files in the
"trucks" hierarchy, you would want in access:
username:bubba
files:images/trucks/
pages:trucks/
* Add action "admin_publish" that handles the PUT process. Requires
user be logged in as an admin, and requires
* Automatic RCS versioning if PUBLISH_DO_RCS variable is set. Can
stop publish if RCS error when PUBLISH_QUIT_ON_RCS_ERROR Variable
is set.
* Adding "ui_mozilla_edit=1" to the URL keeps ITL tags from being
interpolated within the BEGIN CONTENT/END CONTENT area. This
allows
* Automatically adjusts image paths in the uploaded file to be
relative to the directory the page is in. This allows individual
directories to use different sets of images and Mozilla won't
willy-nilly overwrite things in other directories.
* Can prevent any publishing to the pages root if PUBLISH_NO_PAGE_ROOT
is set.
* Allow component modification via Mozilla editor.
If you follow the "show tags" link (i.e. add ui_mozilla_edit=1 to
the param list), it will output the current component set
in meta headers:
<meta name="component" content="1;component;search_box_small">
<meta name="component" content="2;component;cart_tiny">
<meta name="component" content="3;component;product_tree">
<meta name="component" content="4;component;">
<meta name="component" content="5;component;cross">
<meta name="component" content="5;banner;Specials">
<meta name="component" content="5;cols;2">
<meta name="component" content="5;size;2">
<meta name="component" content="6;component;random">
<meta name="component" content="6;banner;See also...">
<meta name="component" content="6;cols;1">
<meta name="component" content="6;size;3">
<meta name="component" content="7;component;">
<meta name="component" content="8;component;">
For instance, component 5 above is exactly equivalent to:
[control-set]
[component]cross[/component]
[banner][L]Specials[/component]
[cols]2[/cols]
[size]2[/size]
[/control-set]
* Also turn on no_locale_parse in ui_mozilla_edit mode, so that
locale-based information won't be lost.
* Add ability to manipulate any [set setting]value[/set] (tmpn?, seti also)
via meta header edit on Mozilla.
Same procedure, just add a meta_header:
<meta name=setting content="tmpn;setting_name;The setting value">
and that setting will be modified accordingly.
Does not remove settings, only sets the ones found in headers.
* Prevent linked forms et al from coming in from table metadata.
* Add [flex-select] tag, complete replacement for and enhancement to
the admin/flex_select.html page in the UI.
* Each colunn can have individual sort settings, and can individually
be specified to use alphabetic more lists when it is the sorting
column. (ui_more_alpha, ui_sort_option)
* Group "magnifying glass" can be turned off in metadata. (fs_no_group)
* Filters can be specified in metadata instead of just ui_data_fields.
(fs_display_filter)
* Links to other pages specifying the field value can be done
easily. For example, to add a per-sku link on the products
table to the item_options page, put in ui_data_fields
sku
sku-options
price
description
In the metadata for products::sku-options, do:
'extended.fs_link_page' => 'admin/item_options',
'extended.fs_link_parm' => 'item_id',
'extended.fs_link_anchor' => 'Edit Options',
That will produce:
<a href="__CGI_URL__/admin/item_options?item_id=SKU">Edit Options</a>
Can be shorthand-set in ui_data_fields with:
sku
sku-admin/item_options:item_id:Edit Options
price
description
* Columns can be calculated values by putting embedded perl code in
fs_data_calc. The current row hash (with all values in the select colums)
is put in $Vend::Interpolate::item. You can set tables to be pre-opened
in fs_data_tables.
This code in products::prod_group::extended.fs_data_calc:
if($item->{prod_group} eq $prev) {
return "''";
}
else {
return $prev = $item->{prod_group};
}
will produce ditto marks if a prod_group is duplicated.
* An explicit "edit record" link can be enabled. (explicit_edit)
* The edit link on the key column can be disabled. (no_code_link)
* Checkboxes can be disabled. (no_checkbox)
* Check All/Uncheck All JavaScript links can be automatically inserted.
(check_uncheck_all)
* The lines can be numbered. (number_list)
* Header cell and data cell CSS is completely settable in metadata on a
per-column basis.
'extended.header_link_class' => 'Header row link CSS class',
'extended.header_cell_class' => 'Header cell CSS class',
'extended.header_cell_style' => 'Header cell CSS style',
'extended.data_cell_class' => 'Data cell CSS class',
'extended.data_cell_style' => 'Data cell CSS style',
While no metadata edit is provided for data_cell_width, data_cell_height,
data_cell_align, they would be honored if set.
The header rows and data rows can be set in the table metadata:
'extended.header_row_class' => 'Header row CSS class',
'extended.header_row_style' => 'Header row CSS style',
'extended.data_row_class_odd' => 'Data row CSS class, odd numbers',
'extended.data_row_class_even' => 'Data row CSS class, even numbers',
* No longer check for Term::Readline and Term::ReadKey.
* Explicitly set filters to avoid mangling of promotions
* Don't allow user to change order number through order status page.
* Ensure that you don't leave secure server through metaconfig link.
* Remove obsolete wizard pages.
Form
----
* Honor flag telling we already have data.
