search cgi

Postby Aramazd » Mon Oct 20, 2003 10:43 am

The following code was taken out of ss's generated page:

<center>
<form
action="http://website.com/shopsite/sb/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*-
x" method=post>
<input type=text name="search_field" size=40>
<input type=hidden name="storeid" value="*-">
<input type=submit value="Search">
</form>
</center>
the storeid was modified for obvious reason to xx'es.

now i need to utilize the same function in my custom page but all it does is
bring up a blank page regardless of my search item.

what do I need to do to fix this?

What happens when you search from the ShopSite-generated page using the
exact same search term?

It shouldn't matter to the search cgi what page you come from, whether
it was created by ShopSite or by some other means, as long as the same
information is posted in the form. Can you post the two URL's to the two
different pages (your custom page and the ShopSite-generated pages) here
to the newsgroup? Thanks.

Actually, I don't see it working from either URL, and I can't get any of
your add to cart buttons to work either. Did you recently move servers
or did your hosting provider make updates to the server or change
permissions on any of your files? It almost looks like no cgi's are
being allowed to run from the shopsite/sb/ directory at all. I think you
gave bigger problems (server problems) that you should contact your
hosting provider for help with.

Must have been my internet connection from the office (I tried multiple
browsers from there). Anyway, now that I can see it from home, the
search works from both the URL's you mention, the ShopSite-generated
page AND your home page.

I think we had issues with the hosting company. Thanks for getting back to
me.

is there a generic doc or guid I can use to chmod the entire site for
security. You mentioned before could have been cgi issue and its access.
that got me thinking, and was wondering what permission is write permission
1)for customers to be able to browse the web site and order 2)but not be
able to download say my images from media directory or other cgi files.

just a thought

If someone wants to download one of the images that appears on your
pages there is not really a way to stop them. The way they see the
image, period, is that it downloads to their browser.

If the cgi's are in a place where they can be executed, which they
appear to be, there is no way (that I know of) for anyone to download
them from the web, the webserver will execute them not serve them as
documents. Even if someone could download a cgi it wouldn't do them any
good, the cgi's are generic and do not contain your data.
