    Keeping textarea content formatted when sending form results to



    My online form's results are submitted to the email.
    Everything is fine, but the <textarea>
    If the user types in returns in it, they are not being "shown" in the email,
    i.e. it comes out as one long line, instead of duplicating the formatting
    the user used. What can be done to keep the formatting of the <textarea> in
    th email results?
    Thanks,

    Valeria

    Keeping textarea content formatted when sending form



    It most likely has to do with the use of the MIVA
    STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL. The standard output level needs to be set so
    that the white space (returns, tabs, etc.) is not being compressed.

    Something similar to this should work:

    <MIVA STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html">
    <MvSMTP ...>
    ...
    </MvSMTP>
    <MIVA STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html, compresswhitespace">


    A similar technique is needed when displaying a text area:

    <MIVA STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html">
    <textarea name="text" rows="6" cols="50" wrap="virtual">
    <MvEVAL EXPR="{ g.text }">
    </textarea>
    <MIVA STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html, compresswhitespace">

      MvCall & Cookies



      I'm trying to use Miva Mia to interface with a site via MvCall and have
      reached a bit of a stumbling block.

      I first have to signin to the site with a userid and a password. The site
      I'm accessing then wants to send me a cookie, but can't, saying that my
      browser won't accept cookies. I'm using IE 6 and it is set to accept
      cookies.

      This happens with both GET and POST versions of the MvCall. Below are
      simplified versions of the GET and POST code I'm using.

      Is there any way in Miva that I can accept the cookie?

      Thanks

        MvCall & Cookies



        When using MvCall, it is the server, not the browser, who sends the http request
        and therefore you have to manipulate the http header so that it passes the
        cookie value when sending the request to the remote server. You can either copy
        the cookie from your browser's cookie folder or parse the MvCALL HTTP header to
        get a new one. Some details about HTTP header manipulation are available here:

          Another odditiy with time functions in the compiler



          (somehow this one didn't make it to the list yesterday, so here it comes
          again...)

          Hi,

          I came across another small disfunction of dyn_time_t and dyn_tm_usec: When
          used compiled within an MvCALL tag, they don't return any values (at least
          not in Windows).

          <MvCALL ACTION = "http://somewherelse.com/something.htm" METHOD = "GET">
          <MvEVAL EXPR = "{ dyn_time_t }" >.<MvEVAL EXPR = "{ dyn_tm_usec }" > // This
          returns nothing

          do something useful...

          </MvCALL>

          Outside the MvCALL or uncompiled they work just fine.

            Keeping textarea content formatted when sending form



            Thanks everybody for responding.

            info, you were right about the wrap propertyof <textarea>. I've looked it up
            in MSDN library, and it seems like "hard" is the appropriate one to use
            since "Text is displayed with wordwrapping and submitted with soft returns
            and line feeds." (a quote from msdn). The problem is ... it is not enough to
            make the thin work. I've tried all of the properties just in case, but still
            did not get the desired result.

            Margo and Lance seem to be pointing the same thing out - <MIVA
            STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html"> , but somehow it did not work for me.
            I already had the following in my .mv file:

            <MVSMTP MAILHOST="smtp.nimlok.net" TO="[email protected]" FROM="{Email}"
            SUBJECT="Services and Rental Information Request">
            MIME-Version: 1.0
            Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"

            <html> ... body of the message here ... </html>

            but then added the tag anyway.
            I don't know if I did anything else wrong, but it did not work. :-(((

            I hardly ever deal with MIVA, so I do not know much about it at all.

            May I post an entire file I use to send the e-mail? May you can spot an
            error?

            can anybody help?

              New built-in functions tokenize & miva_array_collapse(array)



              I might be missing something really simple, but for some obscure reasons I
              can't get the new tokenize & miva_array_collapse(array) functions to work.
              Has anybody short real-life examples of how to use them?

              The instructions in the readme file are really not very clear.

              Thanks,

              Markus

                Keeping textarea content formatted when sending formresults to email



                There is a routine in Merchant which strips the hard breaks out of the
                textarea inputs for the email confirms.

                You might want to try using MmHTML by TruXofT (MvCool.com) or a
                similar/related product, to format the emails the way you need, without
                stripping the hard breaks (ask Ivo if his module does this before taking my
                word for it).

                Or if you are a hacker, you can find a reference to removing (glosub)
                asciichar(10) and get rid of it. Not sure if it will cause havoc in the
                confirms, but it's worth a try.

                If you need more help, let me know (onlist).
                State Merchant version and OUI/MMUI usage.

                  Ivo,

                  Thanks for the response. I got tangled up in something else and have just
                  today been able to spend any significant time on your suggestions.

                  I've read through your web site and the various RCF's and played around with
                  some code, but I'm still stuck. I can't see any practical way in MIVA to
                  interact with the site I'm trying to work with. Any suggestions before I
                  give it up as a lost cause and try something else?

                  What I'm trying to do:

                  In order to interact with this site, I need to logon. I go to their logon
                  page and enter id and password. The site responds with 4 Set Cookie
                  requests.

                  In MIVA, when I pass the logon material via a post MvCall, the site responds
                  with a message that my browser is not accepting cookies (tho it's actually
                  MIVA MIA that's not).

                  Exminination of the callreturnheaders show no trace of the cookies, so I'm
                  assuming that the site is sending these out after the initial set of
                  headers(??). Since the callreturnheader system variables aren't updated
                  during subsequent iterations of the MvCall loop, I don't see how I could get
                  to them.

                  Also, if I understand it right, I'm probably getting some Get Cookie
                  requests that I'm not seeing.

                  Am I missing something, misunderstanding the whole process, or is this
                  something I can't handle in MIVA?

                    MvCall & Cookies



                    The simplest way to find out what you need to add to the HTTP headers in
                    the MvCALL tag, is capturing the entire TCP/IP communication between
                    your browser and the server and then simulating it with Miva.

                    I use the MS Network Monitor (include for example in the SMS package for
                    NT servers) for capturing and analyzing the HTTP data.

                    Ivo,

                    Thanks for the response. I got tangled up in something else and have
                    just
                    today been able to spend any significant time on your suggestions.

                    I've read through your web site and the various RCF's and played around
                    with
                    some code, but I'm still stuck. I can't see any practical way in MIVA to
                    interact with the site I'm trying to work with. Any suggestions before I
                    give it up as a lost cause and try something else?

                      MvCall & Cookies



                      Ok, but I see a problem with that, also. The cookies have coded data that
                      varies from session to session. I wouldn't be able to send out the cookies
                      in the call because they haven't been created yet. It's beginning to look
                      more and more like Miva can't handle this. :(

                      Thanks

                        MvCall & Cookies



                        I do not think so. If it can be handled by the browser, Miva can handle
                        it too. Unless you wanted to tell that it is you, who cannot handle it
                        :)

                          MvCall & Cookies



                          Um, hate to disagree with Ivo, it usually gets me in
                          trouble... ;)

                          There *could* be something else going on here. Generally
                          speaking, the server (and thus the Miva CGI) usually only provides
                          access to the cookies generated on it's TLD. Therefore, you
                          may have some difficulty reading the other site's cookies.
                          This is probably server specific; and will definitly be CGI
                          specific, and may also be browser specific! (ie: my browser
                          may *choose* to only send your server variables that have been
                          generated from your TLD).

                          So, in order to get the Miva process to read the other server's
                          cookie variables embedded in your browser, you'd have to convince
                          the browser to set these cookies for your domain too. This probably
                          means a custom JavaScript, which (I think) might give you access
                          to the other domain cookies. *Then* when the Miva CGI is called,
                          you'll be able to send these cookies back to the originating server.

                          But there's even more trouble burried within this bee-hive. *IF*
                          the other server is relying on JavaScript for your "browser" to
                          interpret, and then change the values of the server cookies in
                          JavaScript (which is perfectly reasonable to do), than Miva will
                          fall way-short from being able to do this. It does not (as far as
                          I can tell ;) have a JavaScript VM embedded. And since the Miva
                          server process is now the browser to the external server (you used
                          MvCALL to get there) it would have to understand and process the
                          JavaScript... and you're hosed.

                          So, this is a round-about way of saying, "Ivo, you're wrong about
                          the second sentence in the email below." ;)

                          As far as the solution to the problem... this I cannot say. Perhaps
                          the external application has a c/c++ API that you can hit with
                          direct network calls, and go about it with a commerce library?

                          cheers,
                          James

                            What Mike is trying to do (at least what I understood he wanted to do)
                            is reading a page from a remote server. It means he needs that his Miva
                            Empresa or Miva Mia simulates his browser. He does _not_ want to read
                            any cookies from any remote server. He just needs to _accept_ the
                            cookies that the server sends to _any_ visitor and _return_ them
                            unchanged back again. So far there is no problem with Miva.

                              Ivo

                              I believe you understand what I'm trying to do.

                              But I don't see how Miva can handle it.

                              I can't send the cookies in the MvCall statement that submits the passwords,
                              because the cookie contents are variable and don't exist until the remote
                              server receives my login info.

                              If I understand it correctly, I need to read the cookies as they are sent to
                              me, and respond to them when the remote server asks for them (to check to
                              see if I am accepting cookies), and this has to be done before the MvCall
                              loop ends.

                              What am I missing that would allow Miva to let me do this?

                              Thanks
