Introduction The On-Line Sales Door is a product of many hours of work. It has been designed to make the use of PCBoard, and other third party programs, to provide an easy and efficient means of online sales and registrations. Online Sales has been designed to allow users access to a database of items you have for sale on you BBS. This is not a real database but is only a text file that is extracted from a database or spreadsheet. I use a Spread Sheet to enter all my Items and calculate the Prices. It is quite easy to dump the file to text from there. Outlined below are the rules for setting up the text file. I have included a sample of the text file for you to use. You can also set them up in categories, search on keywords, scroll through the whole database, flag items for processing, Place orders online, calculate taxes & freight, specify defaults for everything!!!!! This door can provide you with many other options and is very flexible. The fact that it is flexible brings along a fair number of problems in its self. These docs are an attempt to clear up any problems you may run into. Please keep in mind this is a rough take of the docs. Anyone needing more information can contact our board at (416)790-2151 and enter conference 165. Leave a message there and I will try to assist you as best as I can. 2. Requirements The following list of items are required for complete operation of this program: - PCBoard or a conversion program for BBS control file. - IBM PC or Compatible - A Modem (Optional, can be run locally) - ANSI - TXT2MSG (Optional, only needed if you are importing or faxing invoices) - DSZ.COM (Optional, only needed to allow downloading of invoices) 3.

Database Layout THE DATABASE FILE (SALES.BBS) ------------------ This file Must be setup in a specific order. I have included a sample SALES.BBS file for you to look at. The following are the rules. 1) The very first line of the SALES.BBS file must be blank. 2) They very last line of the SALES.BBS file must be ~~~, this signifies the end of the file to the program. 3) There must be a blank line between categories followed by a heading line. The heading line must be followed by an underline. 4) The Category Title can be no longer than 35 Characters. 5) The Item Name must be no more than 25 characters long. You can use blanks to fill in the rest of the line. 6) The price must be no more than 12 characters long. 7) Weight is up to 4 characters (I think?). Test it and let me know. Below is an example. When you run option 3 from the main setup menu against this file it will create 7 category, 26 SALESNDX.? indexes, and 11 ITEMNO?.NDX files. The category files will be named CAT1.BBS .... CATn.BBS according to the way they appear in the database. The SALESNDX.? files will be named SALESNDX.A ... SALESNDX.Z. These files are for faster keyword searches. The ITEMNO?.NDX files will be named ITEMNO.NDX and ITEMNO0.NDX ... ITEMNO9.NDX. These file are faster checking of item numbers for the order placement and flagging options. The WGT entry is the weight for the freight calculation. This is the amount of extra poundage to apply against the order when calculating the freight charges for the order. Please make sure you create the database exactly as below and in the example. ------------------------------------------- Top of File ------------------ Online Programs Item # Item Sale Pr.

Membership Registrations Database. The membership registration portion of this program will allow users to be automatically upgraded when applying for a membership. The system will present the user with a listing of memberships and allow the user to choose the membership they wish. Upon selecting the membership, the system will check the upgrade security against the users current security. If the system finds the current security is higher or equal to the memberships security selected, it will issue an error message to the user. If the users security is lower than the membership selected the system will ask the user if they wishe to apply using a credit card. The credit cards available on your system will be listed. If the answers is 'N' the user will be returned to the main menu. If 'Y' they will be prompted for a credit card number. If a valid credit card number and expiration is entered then the system will log the registration to the logfile specified in the configuration file and automatically upgrade the users access. This way the user will have a new access level when he leaves the door. The following is the file layout for the memberships registration file: Legend Characters Description A 1 - 10 Item Number B 11 - 43 Item Description C 44 - 54 Membership price D 55 Space E 56 - 58 Security Level to upgrade user to upon Credit Card registration. F 59 Space G 60 - 63 Length of registration in days.

The first line must be blank. The second line must be a descriptor for the file. The 3rd & 4th lines must remain as above. The last line must only contain ~~~. 7. TXT2MSG Rules The only rule for the use of TXT2MSG to import invoices and memberships is that the file TXT2MSG.EXE must be in the current directory or on the path. Unzip the TXT2MSG.ZIP file. 8. Interfacing with Fax doors Sparkys Fax Door To use Sparkys Fax Door simply run General Setup Features 2, enter a 'Y' and fill in the phone number below. Specify the conference you are using as the FAX Gateway above and save the setup. The Sales Door will now place all invoices in that conference with addressed to FAX GATEWAY and 'TO: XXX-XXXX' on the first line. When your event runs the invoices will be faxed. Gerrys Fax Door To use Gerrys Fax Door simply run General Setup Features 2, enter a 'Y' and fill in the phone number below. Specify the conference you are using as the FAX conference above and save the setup. The Sales Door will now place all invoices in that conference with addressed to FAX and 'XXX-XXXX' on the first line. When your event runs the invoices will be faxed. 9. RUNNING ONLINE SALES LOCALLY If the door is run from within a BBS you will not need any extra commands in your batch file. If it is run from the command line or outside of a BBS you will have to add the command LOCAL. You should also work best if you enter PCBoard and shell to DOS. Then copy your PCBoard.sys & PCBoard.dat to a destination of your choice. After doing so replace 'C:\PCB' below with the path to the copies of PCBoard.sys and PCBoard.dat. ie: SALES SALES.CFG C:\PCB LOCAL 10. INVOCATION BATCH FILE Each door program which runs under PCBoard must have a batch file associated with it which carries out the necessary housekeeping tasks for PCBoard. This file changes directory areas if necessary, invokes the program and passes necessary parameters, and returns the user to PCBoard when the door function is completed. An example invocation batch file is included. SALES ----> Sample Door Batch File ECHO OFF CD C:\PCB\DOORS SALES SALES.cfg C:\PCB CD C:\PCB BOARD 11.

Bramalea, Ontario L6S 1P3 Name:_____________________________________________________ Address:_____________________________________________________ City:__________________________ St/Prov:______ Zip/Post:_________ Phone:_________________ Date:____________________ BBS Name:_______________________________________ Sysop's Name:_______________________________________ BBS Phone:___________________ Copies:_____ Key Type: 1 Year ($40.00) ___ Unlimited ($120.00) ___ Please add me to the list of Registered users/owners of Online Sales For PCBoard. Please find payment enclosed for each copy of Online Sales to cover the cost of registration. Registration provides the means to notify users of future software releases and/or enhancements and to provide software support. Registered owners will be authorized on-line access to the MIDI Exchange BBS. 14. Obtaining a Demo Key A one month DEMO Key is available by calling The MIDI Exchange and downloading the key. Just enter the Sales Door from the doors menu and use option C. The type of key you are eligible for will be determined when you enter the door. If you are a registered user of The On-Line Sales Door a registered key will be generated. If you are here to receive a Demo Key the system will automatically generate that key for you. If you are here for a Demo Key a 1 month key will be generated. You can enter the door as many times as want within the next month to regenerate the key. However, you can only do that during that 1 month period. The system will not allow you to receive another key after the 1 month period has expired. Example: Joe Blow enters the door on 03-11-74. He receives his key. He returns on 24-11-74 and receives an the same key. Joe then returns on 04-12-74 and enters the door. The system then advises Joe that his 1 month Demo is complete.
