Chapter 11 - Upgrade From 1.x to 2.x

If you currently own 1.x version of the java shopping cart and want to upgrade to 2.x version follow these steps:

#1. Overlay all .class, .cab and .jar files with new ones.

#2. Add the following lines to your HTML Applet statement:

<param name=Menu value="JSCMenu.ini">
<param name=Strings value="JSCStrings.ini">
<param name="Start" value="No">

#3. Add the following lines to the JSC.ini file:
Insert the following lines after "LogoBannerLn2=" line:

BtnMenuClick=Sys/2clicks.au
BtnMenuOver=Sys/1click.au
BtnSortPriceClick=Sys/2clicks.au
BtnSortPriceOver=Sys/1click.au

BtnSortDescOver=Sys/1click.au
BtnSortItemClick=Sys/2clicks.au
BtnSortItemOver=Sys/1click.au
BtnExitClick=Sys/2clicks.au

Insert the following lines in the JSC.ini file section after StaPanColor:

ItemHSize=640
ItemVSize=480
ItemPicture=L
ItemTextLineSize=40
ItemTextFont=T
ItemTextFontSize=14
ItemTextBackground=255,255,255

CreditCardYear=1999,2000,2001,2002,2003

ChkOutWin2=n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n
ChkOutWin3=y,y,y,y,n,n
CGIport=80
SearchAll=Yes

#4. Overlay old JSCStrings.ini with new one. IMPORTANT: if you changed any strings in the old file make sure copy them over to new one.

#5. Copy new images for new Images Buttons into your Sys directory (Menu.gif, Exit.gif, SortPrice, SortDesc, SortItem) and replace existing ones as well.

#6. If you want to add background music to ViaJCart 2.0 you need to create a 1% frame page where the music will be played. Please take a look at JSC.htm, jscfrm.htm and JSCAudio.htm pages how its done. Copy music pages and midi files to your "Aud" directory and add this information to music parameter in JSC.ini file.

#7. Insert one more line in the JSCChkOut.ini file in "Frm" directory after Country tax line. Just put "*" for now. It can be used for Discount options.

#8. Encrypt "PSW" parameter with the new JSCD2 Decrypt Utility. If you use FTP method you will need to encrypt "FTPuser" and "FTPpassword" parameters as well. The JSCD2 provides a stronger security.

#9. Place minus.gif and plus.gif image files in "Sys" directory.

#10. Now you can search your database in seconds with new JSCSearch.pl script. To enable this option change "CGISearch=Yes" and upload JSCSearch.pl script to your "cgi-bin" directory in ASCII mode. Make it executable chmod 777.

Make sure to specify your java cart directory in the script by changing
$DIR = "/usr/www/users/yourdomainname/jsc2/" to your path.

For more information on these latest changes please read the following User Manual updated chapters:

You can even run this shopping cart without any type of server software although you can do more with CGI scripts support. The VSSD ViaJCart can use regular HTTP server, SMTP email server, or FTP file server to process transactions. However, if you use Perl CGI scripts with ViaJCart you can take advantage of Real-Time Credit Card processing and faster order processing. The CGI scripts are provided.

The design philosophy of VSSD ViaJCart was to create a simple and affordable way of doing business on the Internet.
