I'm writing an app for an organization that charges a fee for membership and also has an annual meeting for which a further fee is required. Online payments will be handled though Moneris (similar to PayPal), and I'm considering writing a component for that. I need to deal with the following cases:
new membership membership renewal new/renewal membership + event event only event only (as a guest-more expensive) So, I've got both MembersController & EventsController involved. But, I may have a situation where both membership & event signup need to be handled simultaneously. Aside from the question of which controller to use for that situation, there's also an issue with processing I need to do after the transaction has completed. For memberships, that means creating a password and sending out a "welcome" email. Additionally, Moneris seems to only allow a single response URL to be registered at their site. Unlike with PayPal, I can't send the URL in the form. So, I'm considering dropping the component idea and creating a PaymentsController instead. That would seem to take care of one part of the problem, but leads to others. For instance, for a new membership, I'd redirect from MembersController::add() method to this controller to then go on to deal with payment. Once that was dealt with, I could redirect back to MembersController::addConfirm(), passing the Member.id. But that's just the sort of method I'd want to be private, so I see a problem there. Also, I've still got the obvious problem of dealing with both membership and an event registration. So, I'm wondering if the PaymentsController should use both Member & Event and deal with post-transaction stuff itself. Any thoughts? I'm hoping that I'm just missing something obvious and it doesn't need to be this complicated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
