Validation points?

Levi Sauerbrei
$organization

This may be an overly simple question but I can't seem to find any reference to it.  I am preparing to edit LWP_VALIDATE_CART for a TNEW install.  Is this local procedure called from within a standard procedure?  Or does the API call it directly.

And while I'm thinking about it, how do I define the validation points?  I believe we are in a unique situation here in that we are a consortium with 4 TNEW installations and a lot of control group considerations.  So should i be trying to define different validation points for each organization?  Or would they all have the same validation points and I should be controlling things with secure views?

Thanks all!

    The validate points are set up in the table LTR_TNEW_VALIDATE_CART. I'm not sure how TNEW handles consortia, but there is an Organization column in that table, so maybe it can be different for your different org? You can set up a number of predefined item types - personally, I just put them all to the same validation point and then figure out what's in the cart using the proc, since we have needs for several different validations for different types of aux single tickets, or combinations of aux and pkgs etc.

    I'm pretty sure the proc is called directly by the API. There is a WP_VALIDATE_CART which is called on almost all the pages that load, but it doesn't seem to call anything else.

    I wonder if the web would pass another parameter if I add one to the procedure and call it from within the procedure. Do I have to bake a cookie for that to happen?

    Interesting question. I know I can pass parameters in the URL by constructing it in the SQL script.  For instance, sending the patron to a donation page with a suggested amount already populated.  Not sure I would pass one through another method.  But my knowledge of such things is somewhat limited.
