Ecommerce form submission logs

(Ryan Archer) #1

**Matrix Version:**5.3.1.1

I am aware that in our version of Squz Matrix (5.3.1.1) that we should be able to access the log of submissions for an ecommerce form - just like a normal custom form.

However, when I look at the documentation for advice on how to achieve this, it appears to state that I need to have a log file on the server already there and waiting - ready to receive the submission information for logging. Quite different system from custom forms I must admit.

How does one go about creating the log file on the server? Can it be done via the Squiz Matrix interface or do I need backend support to create it?

Thanks

Those logs are just for the log manager and not much you can do with without having a custom script on the server that exports them for you.

If you want to export the orders into a certain format you might be better off using an asset listing or search page to do that.

In saying that, we probably should make it consistent with the custom form so that you can view the logs and export them via a submission logs screen,

Hi Bart,

Yes we currently use asset listing to get the submission logs for the ecommerce forms. The reason I brought it up is I was revisiting our v5.3 upgrade documentation and it did state that Squiz was going to give ecommerce forms the submission logging feature. Perhaps this is not what I thought it was going to be and it means a log manager and a custom script? I had assumed it may be something that works like the custom forms.

Hmm, wondering what that was referring to? Do you have a copy of it you can share?

Bart, I will look through my documentation properly next week and send you the link. Pretty sure I gleaned it from a SquizMap linked reference.

Hi Bart. Had the time to back to the ‘wayback’ machine.
I think I misunderstood the feature upgrade. Here is the link https://squizmap.squiz.net/matrix/3546 I think it is what it is.

Not a feature to make it all easy from the front “dashboard” end but just a way of being able to retrieve transactions from the log file without having to dig in the server backend all the time.

But hey if you want to put this up for a (Squizmap) feature request, I would be truly honoured…
