Initial import into 4.0. Collected files from acs-3.4.8 doc, - doc/sql, tcl, admin/ecommerce, and ecommerce/ (and later from - templates). Moved ad.ini params into ecommerce params.
-ec_create_new_session_if_necessary (ecommerce-defs.tcl), - redirects to the cookie chain were removed (as cookie chain - strategy has been altered radically in 4.0 (removing the - cookie-chain code.)
- - - -- --Our standard in the future is going to be that we always - redirect the user to "www.sitename.com" if they try to - access the site as "sitename.com". Then we can set cookies - with Domain=.sitename.com and they will take effect on all - cobranded sites. A better answer is not to use cookies at - all (directly)! The new session-tracking facilities (see the - security and session-tracking documentation) take care of - managing session or persistent state for you in the - database, securely if necessary.

ad.ini params moved into ecommerce/styles package params.
-Modified calls to ad_parameter to take into account - package_id using [ec_id]. Ironically, this may take port a - step backward and prevent it from being mounted more than once - in a site. This can be relaxed by changing ec_id to find the - "right" ecommerce package as opposed to the first one, (or - whichever one it is finding.)
-Wrapped ad_parameter calls with util_memoize -- I think the - 4.0 ad_parameter is cool but quick benchmarking shows it is - potentially very slow. The util_memoize call uses the value - of ec_cache_refresh to periodically refresh the cache. (This - should be simplified and built into ad_parameter if you ask - me.)
-Checked for nsssl and made ecommerce compatible with - nsopenssl.
-Checked for nsunix and made ecommerce compatible with - nsunix.
-Added ecommerce-security-procs to help make it easy to create - links to and from secure pages. (Used code "repurposed" from - David Rodriguez's ACS 3.4 events modules and enhanced for - nsopenssl and nsunix compatibility.
-Added kernel security parameter SecureLoginsRequiredP, which - defaults to 1. For most ecommerce sites, this should probably - be set to 0 by the site admin. The affect of this parameter - is to lessen security somewhat, but to keep users from having - to login twice, once for an http and once for an https - session.
-Later modified security_processor's sec_handler, as well as login - pages in acs-subsite...register to emulate Amazon's behavior. When - login on https is requested, email address of non-secure http user is - presented.
- -More information can be found at ACS - feature request 9767
-tags-search-replace "/ecommerce/" "[ec_url]"
-replaced calls to philg_email_valid_p with ad_page_contract - ... email filter (in gift-certificates....)
-changed references to table users_preferences to - user_preferences.
-changed references to table users to table cc_users
-changed pages that made their own secure/insecure links to use - ec_securelink (which securelink will fallback to an insecure link if - that is all that is available.)
-copied qmail.tcl from acs-3.4.8 to ecommerce/tcl/qmail-procs.tcl. - Eventually, ecommerce should instead use the ACS 4.1 acs-mail system.
-incorporated gift certificate fix from aD - forum
-got product search working, I needed to copy - acs-3.4.8/www/doc/sql/pl-sql.sql to - ecommerce/sql/pl-sql-utilities-create.sql. Also created a - -drop script. Deleted functions and procs not used by - ecommerce.
-changed view ec_customer_service_reps to use cc_users and not - users, checked that there were no other bad references to - users in ecommerce-create.sql
-started rationalizing outgoing email messages: blew through - code (tags search) to ensure everyone gets the from address - correctly (using the [ec ..] routine) so that - ec_sendmail_from_service can put something better than just - "Customer Service" on the from header.
-in templates that send gift certs out change the link to - include ecommerce mount point to get back to the store - itself.
-fix bug in admin/shipping-costs/edit involving validation of - shipping charges (shipping weight)
-imported ad_audit_trail facilities
-fixed up nav bars and ec footers to point to - "\[ec_system_name\] Home" and not just Home as sites might - have multiple ecommerce packages mounted and to indicate that - ecommerce home is not the same as site home
-fixed up https links once more pointing to site home page
-fixed up register/index and request processor so that a login - page redirect by transition from http to https contains the - email address of the user.
-tags search replace of context_bar.*ecommerce to - .. Ecommerce(\[ec_system_name\])
-tags search, add ad_require_permission admin to all admin - pages
-fix up ec_navbar to offer admins an admin link
-parameterized ImageMagick's convert utility (since it might - not live in /usr/local/bin). Created an ecommerce package - parameter, appropriately memoized getter function. Placed - getter in admin/products/add-2 and edit-2.
-checked for existence of convert utility (as more elegant - than just catching failure)
-checked for failure of convert utility as it runs
-fixed url generation of images, given new structure of acs - packages (not just under AOLservers webroot, but under package - webroot)
-removed registered proc that handles /product-file requests and - converts them to real names, created product-file/index.vuh to return - correct file
-generalized a product's one line and detailed description so - it could contain html, which it appears it used to but now - cannot since ad_page_contract, defaults to using the filter - :nohtml. How many more of these are there? Does it need to - be :allhtml?
-fixed a bug in ec_display_rating - s/EcommerceDirectory/EcommerceDataDirectory/
-tweaked product template in ecommerce-create.sql to display - ec_navbar (and to make category_id available to template)
-fixed up hardcoded www/admin to lookup url of acs-admin - package to fix up links to /acs-admin/users/one
-fixed up doc so that /admin/ecommerce is usually - /ecommerce/admin or [ec_url]admin
-replaced philg_quote_double_quotes with ad_quotehtml
-replaced philg_hidden_imput with ec_hidden_input
-Fixed ecommerce-create.sql to include country-code and state - fields that Janine commented out.
-Tuned checkout pipeline, ensuring that it's https if possible - the entire time, that users are logged in, that there are no - links out of pipeline (not a requirement, just a "selling" - focus) until final page, that the navbar changes to show the - various steps in the checkout pipeline ala amazon, and that on - final page, links away are insecure and direct the visitor - back to http mode.
-moved ad_adp_function_p to ec_adp_function_p, mainly used in - taking submission of templates from admins but restricting - them to template without tcl functions, and made the behavior - subject to an ecommerce style paramter. Changed the - complaints to use ad_return_complaint.
-fixed bug in add member to mailing list which forgot (unlike - acs3 user-search to add percents around pattern to wildcard: - %pattern%
-fixed two bugs in items-add-(2 3). In items-add-2, use - ec_add_to_cart_link instead of ec_add_to_cart_link_sub. In - items-add-3, change sytle to style. Did anyone ever - user/report this?
-made sure that product directory can be outside webroot so that - uploaded .tcl/.adp, etc. files cannot be executed with a webhit.
-fix queries in customer-service/actions.tcl and - statistics.tcl to use cc_users
-fix bug in email-send failing when there is no customer email - address
-fix bug in admin/sales-tax/clear-2.tcl which called - ec_audit_delete_row with a "wildcard" of "", something beyon - the simple API of ec_audit_delete_row.
-Porting diary details are currently tracked via CVS browsers + linked from OpenACS.org.

generalize search to search through all categories, or store, - or site
