Hi Nihit,
I ended up writing a scriptor component to save the information:
<code>
Function MSCSExecute(config, orderform, context, flags)
Dim item
' Cache item-level data
For Each item In orderform.value("items")
item.value("saved_product_name") =
item.value("_product_displayname")
item.value("saved_product_definitionname") =
item.value("_product_definitionname")
item.value("saved_product_deliverymethod") =
item.value("_product_deliverymethod")
Next
' Cache form-level data
orderform.value("saved_cy_oadjust_subtotal") =
orderform.value("_cy_oadjust_subtotal")
MSCSExecute = 1
End Function
</code>
It would be nice to see in CS2006 the ability to control what gets saved in
the basket versus what is flushed out after the HTTP request is completed as
opposed to having to workaround it by duplicating the data.
Cheers,
Colin
