Protx VendorTxCode=

[freakystreak]

Has anyone managed to change/ adapt the protx form contribution so that the VendorTxCode equals the actual os commerce order number. I can find where the VendorTxCode= is generated and as default it is the date of the order but how do you adapt it to show the actual OSC order number?

 

Anyone got any ideas? I asked protx and they said

 

'OsCommerce generates the VendorTxCode. In *all* cases regardless of which of our products you use, the VendorTxCode will be generated on the vendors side.

 

This means that you can examine how OsCommerce is generating this VendorTxCode value and amend accordingly.'

 

So I take it it can be done.

Sounds useful. Of course the remaining stumbling block is that the osC order number is not assigned until after the customer returns from Protx. I suppose you could guess what it might be from the previous number or maybe add another field to the orders table representing the order number as sent to Protx.

Just a thought,

 

What about getting osCommerce to assign the order number to the same as the the VendorTxCode?

 

If it assigns an order number when it gets back from protx..........can a field not be read/added from the reply from protx to generate the number that way?

Yep I would love this to happen we somtimes spend ages searching for the order.. I would think the issue is that the order number is not issues until the payment process is complete
