The purpose of shop account handlers

Wednesday 21 January 2004 2:26:11 am

Hi,

I'm having some trouble grasping the concept of shop account handlers and how to use them. AFAIK, shop account handlers are designed to make it easier and extensible to decide which data fields are stored (and fetched for orderview) in conjunction with the order head.

However, if this is the case, why does shop/register have the account_identifier and the form field names for the validation procedure hardcoded? Shouldn't the account identifier be fetched from the INI settings, and the validation be done in the shop account handler?

Thanks in advance !

Sincerely,

Eirik Johansen

How did you eventually do this?

What is the structure of a shophandler extension?

I have tried something like:

 extensions\myshophandler
   --> shopaccounthandlers
       --> shopaccounthandlers\myshophandlershopaccounthandler.php
       --> shopaccounthandlers\userregister.php
   --> settings
       --> shopaccount.ini.append.php
       --> site.ini.append.php
   --> design
      --> standard\templates\shop\userregister.tpl
 

Where shopaccount.ini.append.php contains:

#?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?

[HandlerSettings]
Repositories[]=kernel/classes
ExtensionRepositories[]=myshophandler

[AccountSettings]
Handler=ezuser

Alias[]
Alias[ezuser]=myshophandler

I got the shophandler to run, but I cant seem to connect to my userregister.php. Do I have to make a module folder for this?

I would really appretiate help, so I could avoid making changes in the kernel.

Hi,
Could you explain what you did to change the userregister.php ?
I try to create new true user account when an anonymous user buy into the shop, and I think this is the way.
Thanks in advance !

The structure you need would be something like this:

extensions\myshophandler

  --> design
     --> standard\override\templates\shop\userregister.tpl
     --> standard\override\templates\shop\accounthandlers\html\ez.tpl

  --> modules
     --> myshophandler\module.php
     --> myshophandler\userregister.php

  --> shopaccounthandlers
      --> shopaccounthandlers\myshophandlershopaccounthandler.php

  --> settings
      --> design.ini.append.php
      --> module.ini.append.php
      --> shopaccount.ini.append.php
      --> site.ini.append.php

Module.php should look like this:

$Module = array( 'name' => 'myshophandler', "variable_params" => true );

$ViewList = array();

$ViewList["userregister"] = array(
    "functions" => array( 'buy' ),
    "script" => "userregister.php",
    'ui_context' => 'edit',
    "default_navigation_part" => 'ezshopnavigationpart',
    'single_post_actions' => array( 'StoreButton' => 'Store',
                                    'CancelButton' => 'Cancel'
                                    )
    );
