Can NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT be not required?

[stoffeman]

I am looking for a way to make NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT not required, as well as NETQUOTEVAR : DATEPROMPT.

The objective is to make it possible for users to leave the 'Dedication' and 'Date' fields blank at
http://www.futureforests.com/acatalog/Future_Forests_plant_a_tree_4.html

Is this possible?

Hi,

To stop the 'Other Info Prompt' from being required you can amend the ActinicOrder.pm file in your site folder (usually Site1). Open this file in a text editor such as notepad and search for:

if (length $sInfo == 0) # if there is no info, reprompt
{
$sMessage .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 55, "<B>$sPrompt</B>") . "<P>\n";
}
elsif (length $sInfo > 1000)
{
$sMessage .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 56, "<B>$sPrompt</B>") . "<P>\n";
}

Change this to read:

#if (length $sInfo == 0) # if there is no info, reprompt
#{
#$sMessage .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 55, "<B>$sPrompt</B>") . "<P>\n";
#}
if (length $sInfo > 1000)
{
$sMessage .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 56, "<B>$sPrompt</B>") . "<P>\n";
}

I will ask our development team if it is possible to leave the date field blank.

Hi,

The following change will treat the default date as null and will not appear in the cart, on the receipt or on the invoice.

Edit ActinicOrder.pm in a text editor such as notepad:

Search for '$$pProduct{'DATE_PROMPT'}' you will see...

if (length $$pProduct{'DATE_PROMPT'} > 0

replace this with...

# if (length $$pProduct{'DATE_PROMPT'} > 0
my $bDateExists = (length $$pProduct{'DATE_PROMPT'} > 0);
if (!defined $CurrentItem{"DATE"} ||
($CurrentItem{"DATE"} eq "2000/01/01"))
{
$bDateExists = $::FALSE;
}
if ($bDateExists)

Search for 'if ($bDateExists)' you will see...

if ($bDateExists)
{
$nDay = substr($$pOrderDetails{"DATE"}, 8, 2);
$nMonth = substr($$pOrderDetails{"DATE"}, 5, 2);
$nYear = substr($$pOrderDetails{"DATE"}, 0, 4);

Insert before the above lines...

if (!defined $$pOrderDetails{"DATE"} ||
($$pOrderDetails{"DATE"} eq "2000/01/01"))
{
$$pOrderDetails{"DATE"} eq "";
$bDateExists = $::FALSE;
}

Save and Exit

Edit Cart.pm in a text editor

Search for '$pCartItem->{'DATE'}' you should see...

if ($pCartItem->{'DATE'}

replace the above line with...

if ($pCartItem->{'DATE'} &&
$pCartItem->{"DATE"} ne "2000/01/01")

Search for '$pCartItem->{'DATE'} = $sYear' you should see...

$pCartItem->{'DATE'} = $sYear . "/" . $sMonth . "/" . $sDay;

replace this with...

my $sTemp = $sYear . "/" . $sMonth . "/" . $sDay;
if ($sTemp ne "2000/01/01")
{
$pCartItem->{'DATE'} = $sYear . "/" . $sMonth . "/" . $sDay;
}

Search again for '$pCartItem->{'DATE'} = $sYear' and make the same change as above.

Save and Exit.

The above assumes that the default date is 01/01/2000. adjust the above if using a different default date.

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.
