Unformatted Data

[stuartn]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any tags available, which give you the unformatted version of the SubTotal (ie. just a standard float value) - am currently trying to integrate Actinic with some American software which doesn't like pound signs - this is within Order04.html

Alternatively, is there a way to get the Shipping, Tax1, and OrderTotal values in simple float numbers (or even integers) so that I can calculate the SubTotal myself using a script. I know that it is possible to get a Numeric Order Total, but this still does not seem to be in a format that I can use in a calculation.

Many thanks,

Stuart

Check out the Advanced User Guide on p52 'Supporting an Affiliate Program With Actinic Ecommerce' as this lists some unformatted variables for you to use.

Have had a look at this section of the Advanced User Guide, and while it is possible to get a Numeric version of the total Order Price, it is not possible to get the same for the Subtotal. However, I have added a Script into the Receipt page which takes in the Formatted version of the Subtotal and gives me back the unformatted version that I need.

Only problem I have now, is that for some reason, it won't let me assign a Script variable equal to the NETQUOTEVAR:QUANTITY. Do you have any suggestion of how I can get a numerical value which represents the quantity of each product? I suppose that I could divide the NETQUOTEVAR:COST by the NETQUOTEVAR:PRICE (ie. total cost of products / cost of one) but was interested as to why I am unable to get it using the tag

Cheers,

Stuart

Hmm... not sure about this one. Could you use the GetCartItem(3) JavaScript function that is used in the mini shopping-cart display?

Trouble is, I have a feeling that cookies are removed once an order is placed. Worth a try though.

Not sure about the GetCartItem(3) JavaScript function, had never come across it to be honest. I have managed to get a working quantity back by dividing the Total Cost of the Product by the Single Price, although it takes a bit of jigging to convert the price that Actinic holds (ie. with the currency and decimal point representation) into a format that you can use in a calculation.

Anyway, it seems to be working so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Cheers!
