iisCART SAMPLE STORE

Overview
When iisCART was unzipped a sample store was unpacked into the root of the iisCART directory.  The following asp files are integral to the store and demonstrate how one can make use of the powerful methods and properties.
 
Installation
  • Unpack the files from the iisCART distribution.
  • Run install.bat
  • Create a system DSN named "iisCART" without quotes that points to the database iiscart.mdb
  • Create a new virtual server and set its home directory to the directory that you unpacked the iisCART files into.
  • Common problems include not having an application set for the sample store directory which contains the global.asa and not giving sufficient permissions to the database to allow edits.
 
Example Usage
Since all data is stored in a non proprietary database backend it can be accessed easily using ASP script.  The example file, displayorders.asp demonstrates an interface for displaying and deleting orders.  In addition, displayitems.asp allows for display and addition of items.   This allows people without a RDMS to edit the database through a web interface.
 
Files and Source
The sample store contains the following files and a database.  Use 'next' to navigate through the data flow of the sample store or select from one of the following files:

Database Structure (iisCART.mdb), global.asa, store.htm, addtocart.asp, checkout.asp, showtotal.asp, billing.asp, displayorders.asp, displayitems.asp
