persisting form data during checkout ...

[grossd]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right forum category for this question, but others didn't seem to fit ...

I'd like to write an SQL query that is parameterized by the current "active" language, so that i retrieve product names in the correct language. I can't find where this information is stored (in the database) or made available in the code (generated constant).

Any help would be much appreciated,

Dan

p.s. if this is the wrong spot for the question, where do such questions belong?

Why?

zen_get_product_name($products_id) already does that.

In short -- its the learning curve :-)

btw, getting more and more into mod programming, I really would like to add those zencart idioms, as i learn them, to the wiki page ...

thanks.

Is there a function that given a category returns linked products? That's what i am basically coding right now.

[DrByte]

To use for what purpose?

[grossd]

I am creating a checkout candy variant module -- that works a bit differently than the ones currently available. It's to support including one or more products during checkout that are then sent to charity. To support indicating which products should appear in the list i am asking the user to create a " charity" category and link products to that category. All active products so linked show up in the charity list during checkout.

Like this i can reuse the current user interface instead of creating a new user interface (and db tables), to indicate which products are eligible for charity.

So, this is related to stuff in 4 or 5 other threads you've got running already?

[grossd]

Yes, its the same store we are working on. And i wanted to give it a try and repackage/generalize/parameterize some hard coded functionality into a new community module.

You might consider zen_get_categories_products_list().

And it would be helpful if you kept related posts in one thread for continuity sake, as it helps ensure you get focused advice instead of being asked to explain the goal all over again each time. Also makes it more meaningful to future readers who might be looking for similar answers. And makes moderators' lives easier too.

[grossd]

ok.

I guess, i wasn't sure where coding questions go -- although they related to an add-on question asked earlier in the add-on topic area.
