RE: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Shopping carts
I agree with buying something, but only if it works. The last site I did had some complexities that I just couldn't handle without doing it myself. They had some items that shipped from stock, some that had a drop ship arrangement and some bulk items that shipped by freight. That made the real-time shipping calculations a bit cumbersome. Plus, they wanted customers to be able to purchase by credit card or with an established corporate account and to add sales tax to in-state purchases. I just couldn't find anything off the shelf that would work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steven Ross Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 9:20 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Shopping carts Yeah except the price ratio goes way up for building it yourself.

RE: re[6]: [ACFUG Discuss] saving shopping carts
That's the way I do it. Instead of a separate temp table I just add a column for a switch and if the shopper buys I set the switch to 1. I set up a scheduled task to delete all the 0's that are over 2 months old, just to keep the table cleaned out. I'm not worried about the cookie hijacking because they aren't giving me any sensitive info. They're just storing selections. If someone wants to hijack that, they must not have very much to do.

I guess the db is the only place the shopping cart is stored? In other words, every change the user makes to the cart is applied directly to the database? Mischa. What I do is set a cookie using a unique id. I store the shopping cart info in a database along with the unique id. If the shopper leaves and returns, I read the cookie and get the shopping cart info from the DB and let them pick up where they left off. I also set the unique id as a SESSION VAR so I can keep track of their shopping list while they are in SESSION, even if they have cookies disabled.

It's just that I want to please my customers by offering them the shopping cart they had when they left the site. It doesn't *have* to be stored in a database, but I thought db storage was the best option for this type of data? Currently I instantiate the shopping cart object in the user's session scope and the data is flushed to the db when the session times out. Mischa. Mischa, I was talking this over with some friends. Really, what is the need for the database storage? A few ideas were thrown around, but perhaps some background on what you are really going to achieve would help.

Mischa, Part 1: You are trying to prevent the user's shopping cart from expiring by storing it in the database and then retrieve it when they restart their session? ** Yes, that's exactly it. Part 2: OnSessionEnd takes the session scope as an argument. Thus unless you pass a scope into the application.cfc methds, you won't be able to manipulate them. I have not tried this and I am not sure this is possible, but perhaps you can test: cffunction name=onSessionEnd returnType=void output=false cfargument name=sessionScope type=struct required=true cfargument name=clientScope type=struct required=false cfset client.foo = bar /cffunction ** I tried this and added the line for clientScope (I already had session and application and those work fine). OnSessionEnd still fails silently when setting or getting variables in clientScope. Teddy On 8/29/06, Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm probably missing something. Here is my situation: CFMX7. I'm using OnSessionEnd in Application.cfc to store a user's shopping cart in a database. Works fine. Currently, after the session times out, only the shopping cart page is able to instantiate a shopping cart in the user's session scope and load the old cart. I would like to change this so that any page has the ability to retrieve the shopping cart, but I'm struggeling with performance considerations; I don't want to do a database lookup on every page request. (I want every page to be able to retrieve a user's cart because I built a shopping cart indicator which is displayed on every page). I have noticed that you cannot set a client variable in the OnSessionEnd event (the event fails silently after the client.myvar= line if you do so), this would have been perfect because a simple check for a client var and then to a db lookup or not would have been easy. Obviously you cannot set a cookie var either. Should I not worry about an additional db lookup for every page request, or is there a better way to do this? Many thanks!

They're not paragons of good design, but as has been conveyed in this thread, there's learning to get started, and then there's learning to advance. CF7 in particular has an especially nice flash-based interface to help with its getting started resources. Finally, though it may be old, there was a CD produced by Allaire called the SkillBuilder. I would bet you could find it. There's a more recent version of something similar, a video that does cover CFMX, at: http://www.learnwebdevelopment.com/intro_to_coldfusion_mx.html I've not used either of them but the price for the latter is right to fit in your budget. /charlie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean H.

Classes are helpful, but they are expensive. Most classes I see on any technical area of expertise are in the neighborhood of $750 - $1000/8 hour day. That having been said, the best addition to books and trying new things has always been having a mentor to work with. Someone who knows XYZ technology just a bit better than you so you can learn from his or her experience. My first boss, Eric Palmer, was that person for me WRT DB design and SQL. My next boss helped me really get my feet wet with OO and Java. WRT application security, I was on my own for a while but eventually found some people who have helped me grow in that space as well.
