ASPDOTNET STOREFRONT

March 2007 - Posts

  • Accepting Credit Cards, but not Processing them

    If you want to authorize a credit card charge and not actually charge the card, you can set the appconfig 'TransactionMode' to 'AUTH' instead of 'AUTH CAPTURE'.  Then you'll later have to manually 'capture' the payment in the Orders->View/Manage Orders section in the admin.  Note that this may also require that you have the appconfig 'StoreCCInDB' set to 'true'.

  • Installing

    You need to extract the latest zip (pro.7...) file from the aspdotnetstorefront folder.  This can take some time.

    Once the extract is complete, a matching database needs to be created.  Currently this is in DevShed05.  Match the name of the database to the name of the web site.  For example the web site is bevsdowntownflorist. com, the database is bevsdowntownflorist.  There is going to be a connection string to this database, so give 4pennyApp reader and writer permission to the database.

    Beyond that, you need to give the stored procedures/functions execute permission for the database.  This link:

    contains a script that does this.  Replace public on the grant line with the login user, typically [4pennyApp].

    Modify the web.config for the extracted folder to match this connection string.  While in the web.config, enter in an encryption key.  This should be 10-20 characters.  It doesn't really matter which characters.

    For security purposes, rename the Admin directory in the website to sadmin.

    In Skins/Skin_1 is the template.ascx.  Back this up before starting the editing.
