I am using Commerce Server 2002 FP1, CMS 2002, and MSIB 2.5

I am trying to simply save a user's shopping cart in such a way that it is
not an order, and I can retrieve this cart later given the user's email
address.

Currently, I am trying

GetOrderTemplate(new Guid(UserObject.CurrentUser.UserID), new
Guid(UserObject.CurrentUser.UserID));

but this does not seem to be working. I was wondering if there's a common
way to do this.

Hi Susan,

In Commerce Help documentatio you have a example of you can do that, see
"Code to Manipulate a Basket on an ASP.NET Web Form"

void UpdateBasket() {

OrderContext orders = CommerceContext.Current.OrderSystem;

// This requires that the CommerceContext.UserID property already
// be set. It can either be set dynamically if using Commerce Server
// authentication, or manually.
Basket shoppingCart =
orders.GetBasket(new System.Guid(CommerceContext.Current.UserID));

// If the shopping cart has just been created, no order forms
// will exist and thus, it is unusable. So a new, default
// order form must be added.
if (shoppingCart.OrderForms.Count == 0) {
shoppingCart.OrderForms.Add(new OrderForm("default"));
}

// Execute the product pipeline to ensure we have the latest product
// information in the basket.
shoppingCart.RunPipeline(new PipelineInfo("basket"));

// Bind the default order form to the Repeater control used for
// displaying its contents.
BasketListing.DataSource =
shoppingCart.OrderForms["default"].LineItems;
BasketListing.DataBind();

// Update information about the order.
SubTotal.Text = String.Format("{0:C}", shoppingCart.SubTotal);

// This data will not be available after running the basket pipeline
// alone.
Tax.Text = String.Format("{0:C}", shoppingCart.TaxTotal);
Total.Text = String.Format("{0:C}", shoppingCart.Total);

shoppingCart.Save();
}
Regards

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this is not what I meant.

I have been able to succesfully construct and save a basket, and if I call
cart.SaveAsOrder() I properly get a new order (PurchaseOrder) that I expect.

What I'm trying to do is save the basket in a "saved" state, where the order
form object is in a status of "2", in such a way that I can later, in a
different session, re-retrieve that same basket using the person's email
address. Basically, what we have is a customer service section, where the
CSR's place orders for customers; if the customer's credit card doesn't work,
they need to check on it and call back, so instead of re-placing the whole
order, the intention is to "save" the order for later retrieval.

I was using GetOrderTemplate(new Guid(UserObject.CurrentUser.UserID), new
Guid(UserObject.CurrentUser.UserID)) but that does not seem to work.

Thanks again for your reply.

Try something like this code:

/// <summary> /// The <b>SaveAsTemplate</b> method allows the
user to save the current Basket as a /// Template for later use.
/// </summary> /// <param name="TemplateName">The name of the
template.</param> public void SaveAsTemplate(string TemplateName)
{ // Create a new OrderTemplate from the Basket
OrderTemplate template =
CommerceContext.Current.OrderSystem.CreateOrderTemplate(_Basket.BasketID);
// Add the OrderForms to the Template template.OrderForms.Add(new
OrderForm("default")); foreach (LineItem item in
_Basket.OrderForms["default"].LineItems) {
template.OrderForms["default"].LineItems.Add(item); }
// Run the pipeline
template.RunPipeline(GetBasketPipelineInfo()); // Save the
template template.Save(TemplateName); // Empty the
Basket EmptyBasket(); }
private PipelineInfo GetBasketPipelineInfo() {
PipelineInfo info = new PipelineInfo("basket");
info["catalog_language"] = Utility.EnglishLanguage;
info.Profiles.Add("User", CommerceContext.Current.UserProfile);
info.Language = Utility.EnglishLanguage; return info; }

Jeff:

Thank you for your reply. This looks like what I'm looking for. I'm going
to try this and then I'll get back to you. Don't worry about the formatting,
I've got it :-)

Thanks
