detailed stats tracking

[Barry]

hiya!

im trying to get an idea on what exactly goes on in the cart section and im looking for info on what script does what job

for instance ca000001.pl seems to be the cart section
and os000001.pl the checkout section

but does anyone have any info on what the other files do, pm0000.1pl, cm000001.pl etc etc

and is it right that os000000.1.pl gets hit 4 times during each order process?

Im hoping to fine tune the cart by finding out exactly where customers are pulling out

Thanks for any help Guys

there are details on all the scripts in the advanced user guide

... and in the knowledge base HERE (http://knowledge.actinic.com/users/kadmin/acatalog/v6_Advanced_Customisation.html#aCD274).

Yes, the os00000x.pl order script does get called 4 times during the checkout.

errr... call me mr thicky, but I can't find any of that...

The 'here' link is broken, I can't find any results in the knowledge base under cm000001 / cm000001.pl, no relevent results under ca000001 / ca000001.pl and I can't find those keywords in the adv admin guide either... :confused:

Issue: What is the role of each script in the CGI-BIN?
Solution: ca00000n.pl - 'cart' - controls adding items to the shopping cart, and displaying the shopping cart page
os00000n.pl - 'order script' manages the checkout process and order creation
bb00000n.pl - 'b2b' - manages logging in and price schedules
ss00000n.pl - 'search script' - controls the search
cm00000n.pl - 'cart manager' that manages the items within the cart
md00000n.pl - 'merge diffs' - manages the merging of incremental updates to the search index and customer account files
ms00000n.pl - 'mail script' that sends the emails from the desktop
nph-dl00000n.pl - 'download' - manages the digital download
nq00000n.pl - displays and logs script errors
rs00000n.pl - the 'referrer script' you can use to track where customers come from. More details in the AUG.
sh00000n.pl - 'search highlight' - highlights search results

cm00000n.pl - 'cart manager' that manages the items within the cartso if I see someone on page cm00000n.pl then it probably means they're in the basket and have just deleted/updated something?

cm00000n.plahah, so that's why I didn't find it in the search... :rolleyes:
