Response to: API Sample Order Form Introduced!

[syownet]

Woo! Good to see the sample order form. I spent a week coding together my own order form based off the LiquidNet iframe forms, but haven't released it yet because it was needing so much testing. I'm very happy with the release of a sample order form, because I'm just going to scrap all my work and jump over to it, because I know if you guys RSP are releasing it, then it should be tested and working good.

Thanks =).

I have actually asked when I had started work on my custom store for a sample API form, so it's cool to see you guys thought my request was worth looking into! Thanks!

Mmm....when I use the RSP Sample Form, I get the following error when submitting the form at the top of the page:
Function you called did not return a value. This should not happened

[syownet]

It looks like I get that error whenever I have PayPal as the selected payment type. Selecting a Credit Card doesn't cause this issue.

[syownet]

Well developers are looking into the issue with Paypal on the new API Sample Form .

As a side note, the Sample Form shows 3 data centers in the list. The third value is Bahnof, Sweden. I'm not aware of there being a third data center, and the templates and remote order forms only show 2 in their lists. Is this an accidental leak? :O Milen can you confirm is this third value valid? If we're using the Sample API form should we be leaving it in there?

[syownet]

A second side note too. If you are using the API Sample Form, make sure to change the terms and conditions and cancellation policy links (html/signup.html). They link directly to moneyzilla3.d-u-o-s-e-r-v-e-r-s.com and will display other companies name and info in the terms and conditions.

We offer hosting in two data centers only (actually three, considering the data center in Dallas, Texas, but we are not accepting any new signups there). The third data center on the API Sample Order Form has appeared in error it would be best to remove it from the order form prior to using it.

Hi Milen,

It seems there must be a bug with the Reseller API. The API is used to get the list of data centers. And it is returning the Sweden data center in the list.........

Leigh,

Does it pull through a MySQL query? Or is that hidden in the API? I am wondering if there, perhaps, might be a way to exclude the Swedish DC if you knew its ID.

[syownet]

The list of data centers is coming from the Reseller API. I can manually exclude that one from the list, but seeing as this is the real-live Reseller API that is returning incorrect values, I would prefer LiquidNet got onto it now and fixed it up.

[syownet]

A list of issues and/or things to be aware of when using the sample order form (including the couple from above for completeness). I have passed the issues in the list to LiquidNet's Support.

• A third data center is being returned by the Reseller API.
• Terms and Conditions links point to MoneyZilla3
• The script will not process PayPal transactions if the Cancel URL value in the config.php is left with it's default value, blank.
• None of the input is sanitized (people can pass through HTML/Javascript through to your custom sites scripts). To sanitize your input, you'll need to strip HTML, Javascript and anything else that doesn't look like text or numbers. If you're using PHP, have a look at the filter module.
• Images from the Step 2 page for the Back and Continue buttons are missing.
• The Back button on the Step 2 page doesn't work (it triggers javascript referring to element ID's that do not exist in the page).
• The script does not respond correctly when passing in the GET variables to set the plan, or domain type.

Cheers,
Leigh

syownet, thank you for the feedback! I am sure that our Development Team will appreciate it.

... The third data center on the API Sample Order Form has appeared in error it would be best to remove it from the order form prior to using it.

Awww, that's a shame, I also noticed it and was happily surprised as I have good Swedish potential clients, and the only thing holding them back is the location (hosting not being in Sweden when they, and their clients, are).

[The Loon]

I noticed that there actually is a Swedish server sup******nter10.se will this data centre be added eventually?

[syownet]

RSP support informed me that the swedish data centre is in the list because one specific reseller that has a very high sale rate uses the data centre exclusively for his/her swedish customers, and that it is not available to the reseller in general. It is specifically available to this other reseller because they have such a high number of customers.

It's good to see that a reseller is doing so well .
