Could you check that you have a function in the database called KK_IF ? Maybe this thread will help you http://www.konakart.com/forum/index.php/topic,47.0.html .

After using the wizard installer there is no error ! Before going into production you may want to replace the certificate with a trusted one.

What I suggest is for you to use the wizard installer which will set everything up correctly for you.

Our wizard installation includes a non-trusted certificate so it should all work out of the box on Tomcat. Are you using some other servlet engine ? Did you do a manual installation ?

Hi,

Is SSL actually working ? Can you check that when you attempt to log into the application, the url switches to https:// and everything works as before ?

You're welcome 
We are always very interested in knowing how people are using KonaKart, so if you can share any of that information with us, that would be great.

Hi,

At the moment, KonaKart manages subscription information (i.e. newsletter, product subscriptions) so that you can see who has subscribed to what etc. However it doesn't contain functionality to help you create a newsletter and send it, or to create an email describing new product functionality.

I don't think that someone would want KonaKart to automatically send an email every time a product is edited in the Admin App. Normally these emails are carefully thought out by a marketing team and then sent using a bulk email sending application.

Hi,

The reason for giving tax rates different priorities is to enable compounded tax rates where the one tax rate is applied first and the next rate is applied on the new total obtained after applying the first rate.

For example:

If the tax rates are 5% and 6% with equal priority, then we use 11%
If the tax rates are 5% and 6% compounded, the number turns out to be 11.3%

Does this answer your question ?

2) It's nice that, on registration page, when user selects a Country, the State/Province edit box auto changes to dropbox for that country.
How can we do that if we don't use Struts (We use WebWork2)? Is AJAX or some other techniques involved?

This functionality has nothing to do with struts. The way that it works is that we detect an exception from the engine when we try to register (eng.registerCustomer()) and then we refresh the page with a drop list of states instead of a simple entry field.

In reality the weight is just a decimal in the database. You can interpret it as pounds, kilograms or any other measure as long as you are consistent.

Hi,

At the moment we don't have very detailed instructions on how to do this, but you should be able to achieve your goal by following the examples that we ship with the source code. You can find a brief explanation here http://www.konakart.com/configurationfaq.php#shippingmodule .

The shipping modules can be found under examples\com\konakart\bl\modules\shipping\module_name\*.java . You'll see that they all implement Shipping Interface.

Under examples\com\konakartadmin\modules\shipping\module_name\*.java you will find shipping modules for the admin app. These don't actually implement any shipping logic. They provide functionality to enable the modules to be installed and removed via the admin app as well as for the configuration variables to be edited via the admin app.

If you come across any problems, you can try posting them to this Forum.

Good luck,

Paolo

P.S. Our professional services team is also available to develop custom shipping modules on request.

Hi David,

If what you are doing is migrating customers from the ERP application and you know that they are Spanish users; what I would do is to populate the KonaKart zones with the Spanish zones through a DB script that you can probably get as an osCommerce contribution. Once you've done that, you should try importing the customers.

KonaKart will automatically attempt to match the state of the customer with the zone in the DB and if it finds a match it will store the zoneId in the address table for that customer rather than the name of the state. If you get an exception you will have to investigate because it means that the state you are attempting to import, is not one that you have in your DB.

Hi David,

Setting a product name and description is slightly more complicated than it may first appear because KonaKart is multilingual and so accepts names, descriptions and product urls for different languages.

What I suggest is for you to follow the steps in the source code we provide as an example. You can download this from http://www.konakart.com/apiexamplesfaq.php . You will see that there is a java source code file called InsertProduct.java.

Good luck,

Paolo

Hi Per,

I'm not sure that I fully understand your question since the front end of KonaKart consists of many JSPs. Could you give me the URL of the webhost supplier so that I can see what the problem is ?

Thanks,

Paolo

Thank Paolo for reply. Still questions:
1) How does KK engine determine it's identical serverlet session? from the request source IP address and/or others?

KK relies on the Servlet engine for this. The servlet engine may use cookies or even append a parameter to the URL if the client doesn't support cookies.

2) How does other web components (like WebWork2 Action) call KK client API (which is Struts Action)?

The KK client API is independent of Struts. It just so happens that most of the calls to this API are from Struts actions in our application. It works in a similar way to the server API. i.e.:

KKAppEng kkAppEng = new KKAppEng();
kkAppEng.setPageTitle("Hello World");

KK website mentions the OpenLazb Flash application, do you open it's source code?
Or do you have sample using other web components to access KK client API, besides Struts?

Yes, I think that we've now sent you the source of this.

3) Since WebWork2 and Struts are converging to Struts 2, does KonaKart plan to upgrade to it in near futher?

No immediate plans. Our eCommerce engines are independent of Struts although our example application uses Struts. We encourage anyone to take our application as an example (since we supply the source of the Struts actions and JSPs) and to develop something similar calling our APIs using whatever technology or framework they prefer.

Paolo
