I am aiming to create a payment module. Its users shall be redirected away from the site's URL in order for the transaction to be processed by a third party at a different URL. I would then like customers to be redirected back to a generic 'success' page that notifies them the order was a success. I have tried redirecting to the default success page (checkout.thankyou.php), but I get lots of errors; all the constants etc. that the application requires have obviously been lost during the redirect.
I would like to be able to retrieve the theme currently enabled in the configuration and use it to insert some basic HTML into the view. I would also like to access the database to perform some queries.
Can anybody advise? I am very stuck, and cannot find anything useful in the documentation! Thank you.
Can you be more specific about what type of information you want in your success page? If you just want basic HTML, then there's no reason you can't just write a basic Joomla article and redirect to that instead of trying to redirect to a VM partial. Again, if it's just basic HTML (no data from the transaction), then you can simply use a code inspector (like FireFox Inspect Element) to track down the CSS classes you like from the template and simply use them in your Joomla article to make it look like the VM template. You can find most of them in components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/themes.css.
If you need to display actual transaction data in your Thank You message, be prepared for a bit more work. You're probably going to have to write a cookie containing the record data BEFORE it gets sent offsite, and then read the cookie just prior to rendering the Thank You page.

Is there a way to create a page in ClickFunnels(https://www.clickfunnels.com/) website and when I submit that page, I need to store the form details in my rails app(into a particular table). Which means I want to display my database in the clickfunnels integrations list. I googled hours but couldn't get much information on this.
can anyone suggest me if you have done this. A reference link also much appreciated.
We couldn't find any way to do this inside clickfunnels itself, if there is a easy way to add custom systems to their integrations I too look forward to seeing those answers. Until then, here's what we did: We just put our custom form on their page and used ajax to send it back out the end point in our system it needed to hand that data too.
Then, since we also needed to submit the same info to click funnels, we build a fake CF form(I think we actually put one on the page, but used CSS to hide it, then filled it out dynamically from our custom form), and call submit on that form, sending the user through the normal click funnels submission process and sending them to the next page in the funnel.
Currently i have been using an iframe component to display a php page that i have written. the reason i used iframe rather than writing a joomla component in the first place was for 2 reasons, the information that is displayed in that page is from a remote mssql sever and the second was that i didnt really understand how to write one.
Now i have completed the creation of the php page that i display within the iframe, but now i need to be able to have it inherent within the joomla site, for both display reasons and security.
basically its a single page that displays information in a bunch of drop down boxes and then a submit button is clicked and it posts that information to another php page that again queries the mssql server and displays the results based on the post from the previous page.
query.php, posts some variables to results.php and is displayed in a table.
i have the functionality perfect, but i dont understand the documentation i have read so far. is there any simple component i can see the code of so that i can try and work out whats going on?
You might want to look at http://docs.joomla.org/J3.1:Developing_a_MVC_Component/Introduction and follow the process outlined.
I started integrating SecureSocial in my play/scala app, but I don't really like all the redirects it does between it's different views.
example - try to login from it's default login page and if you put in a wrong pass you will be redirected to a different page (url) but with the same login form. the only thing that is different is that there is an error message...
I want a simple login form (user/password provider) at the corner of my main page that submits it's data using ajax, this data is validated on the server and a response is made to either display error message/s or change the window.location.
Next to this form I will put a link to go to a more advanced login page that adds the option to use other providers like fb/twitter etc..
But from that page I also want to use ajax to submit the details and get the response.
I tried to browse into the SecureSocial source but got a little lost in there.
Can any one give me an idea how to use SecureSocial's but without using any of it's views?
NOTE: I'm not interested in customizing their views, It's not just a CSS/design issue, I want to handle the login details Ajaxly and not with normal form submission followed by redirects...
After some more rummaging around in SecureSocial code I got a better understanding of how it operates.
You can use any of the providers you listed in the play.plugins file seperatly to authenthicate the user's info from your own login/auth code. just make sure you send the right parameters that the provider needs.
I liked the way SecureSocial's ProviderController class dynamically decided what provider to use, based on a parameter. But I didn't like the responses it made - redirect.. I wanted to respond to an ajax request with some data and let the client side js handle it.
This is my solution:
pretty much copy all of ProviderController code to my own Auth.scala file (a Controller).
Changed the redirects related to "case ex, case _", kept the redirect on successful auth as it adds the SecureSocial session key related to the user.
Removed all the SecureSocial related routes from my routes file.
Put an additional hidden field with the logintype (userpass/google/fb/etc...) and configured my login ajax post to sent this along with the post to my Auth controller.
If you need more info comment here and I'll edit the answer.
I couldn't really word the title very well, but here's my problem: I've got a webpage that reads from a database each time the user clicks a button, the content is then replaced for part of the page.
Because it is an ajax load, everything is done in the background, and so the URL stays the same. This wasn't be a problem at all until I realised that I will want to have a different Facebook comments box for each set of content that is loaded - so if someone comments, it is posted to their facebook profile, people click on the link and are then taken to different content.
So... what I need is some way of referencing each set of content, and I've found a site that does exactly that (I'm sure there are a lot of them).
Here's the link.
Each set of content has a different 'hash code' (because I don't know the actual name for it) which is appended to the URL - in this case the code is "#1922934", this allows people to post links to it that specific set of content on Facebook etc. - and also allows a different Facebook comment box for each set of content.
Does anyone know how such a set-up can be achieved or how these 'hash codes' work?
Here's a document from wikipedia on it.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier][1]
The main idea is that URI fragments are used because they don't cause a page reload. They also can be used to refer to anchors on a web page.
What I would do is on page load use JavaScript to read the URI fragment (location.hash) then make a request to your server to load the comments etc. The URI fragment cannot be read by a server and is only found through a client (browser)
Sounds like you want something like SammyJS.
My website uses ajax.
I've got a user list page which list users in an ajax table (with paging and more information stuff...).
The url of this page is :
/user-list
User list is created by ajax. When the user click on one user, he is redirected to a page which url is : /member/memberName
So we can see here that ajax is used to generate content and not to manage navigation (with the # character).
I want to detect bot to index all pages.
So, in ajax I want to display an ajax table with paging and cool ajax effetcs (more info...) and when I detect a bot I want to display all users (without paging) with a link to the member page like this :
JohnBob...
Do you think I can be black listed with this technique ? If you think so, could you please provide an alternative solution by keeping these clean urls and without redeveloping the user-list (without ajax) ?
Google support a specification to make AJAX crawlable:
http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/specification.html
I did an experiment and it works:
http://seo-website-designer.com/SEO-Ajax-Google-Solution
As this is a Google specification, you won't get penalised (unless you abuse it).
Saying that, only Google support it at the moment (AFAIK).
Also, I believe following the concept of Progressive Enhancement is a better approach. That is, create a working html website then make the JavaScript enhance it
Maybe use the urls with an onclick to trigger your AJAX scripting? Like
Some URL
I don't think Google would punish you for this, you primarily use JScript, but you do provide a fall back for their bot, so your site doesn't get any less accessible.
EDIT
Ok, I misunderstood. Then my guess would be you basically have two options:
1. Write a different part of your site where bots end up, or,
2. Rewrite your current site to for example always give a 'full' page, with an option to only get, say, the content div. Then you can get only the content with JavaScript, but bots will always get a nice page.
