I tried and failed to setup a cart on my website back in 2011 - and now I'm on the same trail again! Having spent a few hours on this forum today, I am surprised that after all these years there still isn't a simple answer - unless I'm missing a trick.
I am currently using Alpha Anywhere, I use .dbf and not SQL, and I still host my website internally. The last two items rule out Steve Woods and his cart, plus a few other developers. I have been talking to WorldPay - who I already have an account with - and they pointed me to:
https://server.alphasoftware.com/blo...ed-mobile-apps
But so far I have failed to get any real help from either company as to how to go about it.
At this moment in time I have an .a5w page with a grid listing the products in my store. I can select a product and get it added as a new record in a table. Next I will build a cart page, but I don't know how to then get the relevant information to WorldPay.
More importantly, I am fighting with the session variable code and after six hours of searching the docs cannot find a suitable answer. I have managed to create a session variable consisting of the date and time, e.g. '29/01/201829/01/2018 02:20:37 97 pm'. I am now playing with if/else functions in the hope that I might save the variable to a table field. I WILL get there one day - I'm sure. But surely there is a better way? (I chose this format for the session variable as I wanted a unique result for obvious reasons, plus I don't know how to display the visitors details, which I guess are cookies etc...)
As has been said many times before, surely Alpha is missing a trick here???
