Customize Messages

This page is provided for advanced or non-English sites to fully customize the internal messages generated by CyberShop. It also lets you define the email details sent to customers. These emails can be Order Status dependent. In addition, there are page specific messages that can be controlled on the top of each page (including view_cart.asp, view_coupon.asp, view_status.asp, order.asp, finalize.asp and some backend pages). Altogether, they offer nearly 100% of customizability for non-English speaking countries.

Field Name Mappings

This section lets you define, list and change the field name mappings for the entire CyberShop system. For example, you might want to change Order ID to Invoice Number. In this case you fill in Order ID in the File Name column and Invoice Number in the Field Description column.  Internally generated field names appear on for example the view_coupon.asp, view_status.asp pages and in the emails. This is the place to alter them to match your specific application.

Add:  The first row in the list lets you enter new entry to the list. Simply fill in the boxes and click on the Add button to submit to the database.

Export Data:  (Batch operation) export the selected entries into a CSV-formatted file. Please set the file extension to .txt or .csv when prompted for the file name.

Microsoft Excel may launch itself within the browser to display the data, which however, does not handle the CSV format by default. Follow the steps to correct the problem:

  • Click on the "A" column to highlight the entire column.
  • From Window's Menu, click Data -> Text to Columns -> "Delimited" -> "Comma" -> Finish.
  • Then File -> Save As -> Select "CSV (Comma delimited)(*.CSV)" as the "Save as type".

MS Excel might also display a Shop Manager Login page. This is a bug in MS Office 2000. Upgrade it with the latest service packs from Microsoft.

Update Entries:  (Batch operation) update the changes made to the selected entries to the database.

Delete Entries:  (Batch operation) delete the selected entries from the database. Proceed with extreme certainty.

Select All: Click to select all the entries listed (presumably for deleting or updating).
