G'day, I was able to install the new version OK, but have run into a problem with the search feature. Here's what the Error log has to say about it (I stripped the path lines for this). cart.pl: Use of uninitialized value at ... Yams4/Cart.pm line 1894. malformed header from script. Bad header=<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/c: ... cart.pl unable to include "cart.pl?action=print_search" in parsed file /commerce/shop/test.html The middle one is curious. It almost looks like an MS-DOS path. I couldn't find it in any of the .pm or .pl files. It has to be there somewhere. The update required a few more files to be changed than what was listed in the Upgrade text file, by the way. For completeness, and in trying to find the solution for this, I copied over the entire set of .pl and .pm files and made the appropriate changes to the files for location. (Yams:: to Yams4::). The related items change worked fine, at least as far as the admin pages go - I haven't found how this is displayed just yet though. Cheers, Gaelyne //\ /\\ Gaelyne R.

I just tried testing out the new version and have the same problem. In addition, the listings on the homepage before login of the departments and such no longer display. But, I haven't looked at the error log for these yet. But, I get this same c: error.

For the first problem add a space to the beginning of the the string in lines 980, 984, and 1138. As for the second I'll have to find a clean box to try and install it on. Is the problem with search when you try to display the form or when you try to get results from the form?

I'm sorry, what file should I put the spaces in? The search problem pops up when you try to display the form.

The second problem may be related to the fact that I use the environment
variable HTTP_REFERER in the creation of the session_id, so if you go to
the page directly then that value is not available - that explains the
use of initialized variable at Cart.pm line 1894 error. But that really
shouldn't be causing the the malformed header error (which I couldn't
recreate on my box at home, so it may have something to do with the way
apache is configured).
To fix the use of the unitialized value, change line 1893 from
my($http_ref) = $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};
to
my($http_ref) = $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} || "";
Are you using any other includes in the page with the include for the
search form? Do they work? Is it running as a cgi script or as an
Apache::Registry script? Are you using the latest version of cart.pl?
As a short term solution, the following HTML code should create the
desired form (with the updated path to the cart.pl script):
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/registry/commerce/shop/cart.pl"
ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="search_terms" SIZE=15 MAXLENGTH=50>
<SELECT NAME="where">
<OPTION VALUE="Name">Name
<OPTION VALUE="Description">Description
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="action" VALUE="search">
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>

G'day All,
Special note to Pat - I have your answers in this mail as well.

I made this change, and it changed the error log info (included below),
but it still resulted in Apache reporting an error in completing the
directive on the web page.

> Do they work?
Yes, I'm using an include for header and footer on the index page. These
work fine. I tried adding in the toplevel.pl?type=department include, but
this resulted in another "error processing this directive" from Apache.
To further test, I have a cgi-bin perl script that displays random text
and is an include. I tried it on the shop page as both:
<!--#include virtual="blah" --> and <!--#exec cgi="blah"--> and it worked
OK both times. Feeling experimental, I changed the Yams include
statements to <!--#exec cgi=".."--> and had the "error processing this
directive" error from Apache. It was worth a try.

cgi script.
> Are you using the latest version of cart.pl?
Yes.
Pat asked me to try cart.pl from the command line and report the
results. Here it is - this is the result **AFTER** changing line 1893:
----------------------------
[shop] # cart.pl
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)
action=print_search
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/commerce4/shop/cart.pl" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="search_terms" SIZE=15 MAXLENGTH=50><SELECT NAME="where">
<OPTION VALUE="Name">Name
<OPTION VALUE="Description">Description
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME=".submit"><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="action" VALUE="search"><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="session_id" VALUE="8O69g43o0cuU0lWfxnnNRgJp"></FORM>Wed Mar 15 23:12:10
[shop] #
----------------------------
Here's the log file result **AFTER** changing line 1893, and I've
included the toplevel.pl one for measure. This isn't an option that I
normally use though.
[error] malformed header from script. Bad header=<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/c: /cgi-bin/commerce4/shop/cart.pl
[error] unable to include "/cgi-bin/commerce4/shop/cart.pl?action=print_search" in parsed file /commerce/shop/index.html
toplevel.pl: Use of uninitialized value at (eval 14) line 27.
[error] malformed header from script. Bad header=<H2>Choose Department</H2><FOR: /cgi-bin/commerce4/shop/toplevel.pl

Thanks, Garth. This DOES work for the item name. Which description is it
using? I tried a couple of tests for the description using words that are
in the shop item descriptions but each time it didn't come up with a match
when it should have.
Cheers,
Gaelyne

It looks like apache is expecting the header from the script. Do the
includes that work print $CGI->header (or its equivalent)? On my system if
I print out the $CGI->header in the includes, I get multiple headers left
in the html page - your setup may need to print the header to allow the
includes to added to file.

Doh. This was not a good release for me. The table that is used for
searching descriptions needs to be backfilled for existing products.
The following script should take care of that.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# quick script to populate the product_description_search table
use strict;
use Yams::DBWrap;
use Yams::YamsGlobals;
my($DBH) = &dbconnect(\%config);
my($sql, $sth);
$sql = "SELECT sku, short_description, long_description, other_text FROM
products";
my($sku, $short_description, $long_description, $other_text);
$sth = &dbsql($DBH, $sql);
while(($sku, $short_description, $long_description, $other_text) =
$sth->fetchrow_array)
{
my($description) = lc($short_description) . "\n" .
lc($long_description) . "\n" . lc($other_text);
$description = $DBH->quote($description);
my($q_sku) = $DBH->quote($sku);
$sql = "INSERT INTO product_description_search VALUES($q_sku,
$description)";
my($sth2) = &dbsql($DBH, $sql);
$sth2->finish if($sth2);
}
$sth->finish if($sth);
$DBH->disconnect;

It does. > Do the includes that work print $CGI->header (or its equivalent)? Yes. In fact, in order to have a "view shopping cart" link work, I needed to add the $CGI->header line to the show_cart subroutine. (I was meaning to mention this to you). Speaking of $CGI->header, I'm not as familiar with this format for Perl commands. Is there a resource where I can learn more about them? > On my system if I print out the $CGI->header in the includes, I get > multiple headers left in the html page - your setup may need to print > the header to allow the includes to added to file. From what I can tell, it's not required for some items and is for others. Such as the show_cart page when used as a link and the includes. I experimented and added: print $CGI->header, $CGI->start_html; to the line above the print &getSearchFormString,($CGI, $DBH); string and the virtual include worked fine. Success! I also tried it in the toplevel.pl file for the ?type=department include, adding print $CGI->header, $CGI->start_html; to the line above the print &printTopLevels line and it too worked. > > > As a short term solution, the following HTML code should create the > > > desired form (with the updated path to the cart.pl script): > > > > > > <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/registry/commerce/shop/cart.pl" snip > > Thanks, Garth.
