Implementing a custom store front

By combining the methods described in the previous chapters a custom store front page can be

developed. This page resides outside PrintShop Web and is probably stored on a different domain and

can be developed in a scripting language other than PHP. Implementing a custom store front involves

the following subjects:

•

Account authentication

•

Storefront pages, including redirect information to PSW

•

Redirection from PSW to your web site/portal at the end of the ordering process

Sample files can be found in the storefront folder located in the webintegration folder of the PSW

Website folder.

Account authentication

The authentication is handled using the external_person_access.php and is similar to the

External person access process as described in the previous chapter. A change is made to the

process_login.php file where the storefront.php is included when the authentication was successful.

if ($cReturn != "0") {

//Success

$_SESSION[fcUserName]= $_REQUEST[fcUserName];

$_SESSION[fcPassword]= urlencode($cReturn);

include_once("storefront.php");

} else {

//Failed

$fcUserName = $_REQUEST[fcUserName];

$cReturn = false;

include_once("index.php");

}
