ASP Shop

Hi,

Can some kind soul provide a link to a tutorial that would run through the fundementals of creating an online shop using ASP (not ASP.NET).

In particular I'd like to see an example where the stock quantity changes after an order has been processed and a simple example od adding items to a shopping cart.

Thanks

This one any good? Chapter 13 builds an ecommerce site.

Lots of other tutorials on that site to.

That's for ASP.NET.

AFAIK there's no step by step guide on how to build a ecommerce site in classic ASP. All I can suggest is you break the whole shop down into component parts (eg. customer registration, add product to basket, discount codes, shipping costs, etc) and look for guides on how to do that.

www.asp101.com and www.4guysfromrolla.com are always good places to start.

Oops, I posted the wrong one.

There's an ASP tutorial on the same site here...

Many thanks for replies, will have a look. Am mainly interested in stock levels and changing the stock level once an order has been accepted (this is the part that's I'm stuggling on as I have to write it all by hand, no Visual Web Developer now

)

Wow, that last link from PaulB was seriously useful. Exactly what i was after.

Another quick question though, is it very involved to use SSL to process an order?

Depends will you be sending the customer to your bank's website or keeping the transaction on your website?

Can someone please restore my sanity? Why am getting syntax erros on the below (It's all in a single line on the actual page btw)?

Code:

SQLQuery = "UPDATE tblTable SET Sto = '" & Request("Sto") & "',  RealSto = '" & Request("RealSto") 
& "' & " WHERE  ProductID = " & Request("ID") & " AND colname = '" & Request("Size")  & "'"
