Question: The option to use {$download.cat_name} in the Customer Digital Download email is not listed as one of the useable variables. In the list at the bottom of the email template, I see the usual set variable, but {$download.cat_name} is not there. Should it be there for me to use it?

Went ahead and tested with a purchase. Still shows "Not Applicable" where the product category name should be.

OK, I am back on this again; thanks for waiting around. I made the change above, breaking the statement into pieces as you say. I will get it tested again tomorrow. Yes, I have access to the PHP error logs.

It has been a while, but I have to revisit this issue. I have double checked all of the above code changes, but the cat_name option is still not available for use on the digital downloads email. Should it be available in the options listed below the email editing box? I have tried to simply add it to the source code of the email, but it still comes back as "Not Applicable". If you get a chance, could we look at it one more time?

Here I am asking the same question about Diff Files for 5.2.8. Please be honest ... Should I find software to do this or can CCart provide these with each revision? I just need to know how to use my time. Thanks.

Mr. Smither - hats off and a rowdy thank you for your efforts on this. I believe that a combination of the correct URL and the "approval" change saved the day. We are tracking the responses in the transaction notes and can see the responses just fine. We are close to closing this thread. Give me some time to finalize without problems.

I found the email templates, I created one that includes a necessary disclosure form. What I don't see is a way to use or send a new template. Is there a check box that would allow template X to be sent with every purchase? I see the coupon and gift cert section, but those don't really work in this instance. I see the newsletter, but even then, how to you control it to be sent with the purchase? Poured over the forms, found some mention of the mailer functions. I didn't think that it had to be re-coded to use the custom email templates function included in CCart. Please tell me I am missing something...

Great stuff, yes, we are now tracking the VM response through transaction notes. I am passing on the info and will have them test the sale again.

Thanks in advance, as always. Now I know what I am looking at code wise. Yes there is a transaction log for the attempted digital downloads. The notes say payment unsuccessful or pending. I know that the card purchases are approved, so it is not for lack of a proper card. The sale is pending. Question: Does the transaction log get created after the client submits the order for payment OR is it created when the payment processor sends a response back to CC? I am sending this message back to my VM person: VM should be sending a response to $GLOBALS['storeURL'].'/index.php?_g=rm&type=gateway&cmd=process&module=VirtualMerchant. And the 'ssl_result_message']=="APPROVED". (I have removed the &amp: from the code and commented the line indicated above.) Is there any way to test the response of the payment gateway? I know there is a test mode, will that make the round trip between CC and VM?

OK, still trying to make this automatic payment / release of digital downloads happen. There are no malformed urls. Virtual Merchant is a "accepted" payment processor. There is a module in place. My conversations here suggests that there is a missing piece of communications between VM and CCart. VM says it is a unique URL. CCart suggests that the return message is missing. The problem is that nobody knows what that is supposed to be. VM has a configuration page that has a field for an acceptance URL. Has anyone successfully connected these two entities and made things work? I cannot find any online resources for this situation and my entire project hinges on an answer.

Ah, got it to refresh and categories are now listed by alpha. Still am I going to be reworking all these code edits with every update?

hmmm, did not appear to make a difference. My line was 10 or so above yours. (You are using cc527, I am 5.2.5. When I update, will all the code changes we have made over the last few months be gone? i.e. cat_name on the downloads, Not Applicable on the inventory...!)

Thanks bsmithers, I will pass on the drag and drop method. M

As per the comments on post #15, here is the code that is in place on the order.class.php. Highlights are the changed code. Am I doing this correctly? The email does not contain the cat_name. Thanks for your consideration. M

I have look all over the forums and on the .org site for an answer. I have only found a commercial solution that address v5. Currently, the product categories on the home page are sorting by cat_ID, which is a function of when they were added to the database. I would like them to sort by alpha, by cat_name. There are other posts, but the solutions I find do not match the files for v5. This would appear to be a basic function within the CCart layout and so I surprised that there isn't an easy answer. So if you know of something that I have not found, please let me know. Thanks... M
