Product Images in Checkout Phase - tested with V4.1 and V5.1

Assuming you have product images whose filenames are related to your product references then it is possible to display these images at the checkout phase.

To do this make the following changes to ShoppingCart.pl and ActinicOrder.pm in your Site1 folder (make backup copies first).
Make sure you use a text editor and not a word processor program (see www.editpadlite.com if you need one).

The following code has been tested with V4.1 and V5.1 on W32 and Unix / Solaris and will probably work with other versions

In the patches that follow the 1st 3 lines are user modifiable:

1)   You should replace '../htdocs/acatalog/' 
with the information from Actinic / Advanced / Network field:- "Path From CGI-BIN To Catalog Directory".

2) Also if you have a prefix or postfix (3) to your image file names (i.e. bits that aren't part of the product reference) then add that text to $NorcatImagePrefix and $NorcatImageSuffix.

Patching instructions:-

In ShoppingCart.pl (V4 and V5 versions)

locate the line (there should be only one instance)

$VariableTable{$::VARPREFIX."PRODUCTNAME"} = $sLine; # add the product name to the var table

and ADD the following code immediately above it:-


######################

# NorcatImageTest

	my $NorcatCatPath = '../htdocs/acatalog/';
	my $NorcatImagePrefix = '';
	my $NorcatImageSuffix = '';

	if ( -e $NorcatCatPath . $NorcatImagePrefix . $ProductRef . $NorcatImageSuffix . '.jpg' )  # if image file exists
		{ 
		$sLine = '<img align=left src="' . $NorcatImagePrefix . $ProductRef . 
		  $NorcatImageSuffix . '.jpg">' . $sLine; # (V11)
		}

######################



In ActinicOrder.pm (V4 versions only)

locate the line (there should be only one instance)

$ProdName .= '<TD>' . '<FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">' . $Response[1] . '</TD>';

and REPLACE it with the following code:-


######################

# NorcatImageTest 

	my $NorcatCatPath = '../htdocs/acatalog/'
	my $NorcatImagePrefix = '';
	my $NorcatImageSuffix = '';

	my $NorcatImage = '';
	if ( -e $NorcatCatPath . $NorcatImagePrefix . $$pProduct{'REFERENCE'} . $NorcatImageSuffix . '.jpg' ) 
        	{ 
		$NorcatImage = '<br><img src="' . $NorcatImagePrefix . $$pProduct{'REFERENCE'} . 
		  $NorcatImageSuffix . '.jpg">';
		}

	
	$ProdName .= '<TD>' . '<FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">' . $Response[1] . $NorcatImage . '</TD>';

######################



In ActinicOrder.pm AND ActinicSCCode.fil (V5 versions only)

locate the line (there should be only one instance)

$ProdName .= '<TD>' . $sFontOpen . $Response[1] . $sFontClose . '</TD>';

and REPLACE it with the following code:-

######################

# NorcatImageTest 

	my $NorcatCatPath = '../htdocs/acatalog/'
	my $NorcatImagePrefix = '';
	my $NorcatImageSuffix = '';

	my $NorcatImage = '';
	if ( -e $NorcatCatPath . $NorcatImagePrefix . $$pProduct{'REFERENCE'} . $NorcatImageSuffix . '.jpg' ) 
        	{ 
		$NorcatImage = '<br><img src="' . $NorcatImagePrefix . $$pProduct{'REFERENCE'} . 
		  $NorcatImageSuffix . '.jpg">';
		}

	
	$ProdName .= '<TD>' . $sFontOpen . $Response[1] . $sFontClose . $NorcatImage . '</TD>';

Now update the site and that's that.
