| What it does
The purpose of the web hosting secure
order/registration form is to allow you to
capture important information from customers. You can use the following page in your web
site. When the user accesses the page their browser will go into SSL mode (Secure Sockets
Layer). All data that is sent to and from the web browser is encrypted.
|
|
|
| When the user clicks the submit button the contents of the form are stored in an SQL
database and can be viewed by you using your WEB
SITE HOSTING Account.
The user is
then given a "Receipt Number" and an email is sent to you notifying you of the
order. Since email is not even remotely secure the details of the order are not sent with
the email message.

Accessing your form
|
A bank form has been created in your SSL directory, but before you use it you will
need change a few fields.
- Your order forms must be placed in the SSL directory on your
web site.
- Go to domain details in Mission Control to set "SSL Status" to 'Install
SSL' (this will take one working day).
- The path to access your secure orders using SSL is shown underneath the "SSL
Status" in Domain Details in your WEB
SITE HOSTING Account.
https://siteserver/vsxxxx_secure/orderform.htm.
Where siteserver is the server your site is on, vsxxxx is the vs number
of your site, and orderform.htm is the html order file in your ssl
directory.

If you use a text based HTML editor
|
- Locate the line that says <input
type="hidden" name="vs" value="demo">
- Replace demo with your
web host logon name, ie vs10033
- Don't include your password, it isn't needed
here
- If you would like a link back to your page to be displayed after the client places an
order, locate the line that says:
- <input type="hidden"
name="redirect" value="http://www.yourdomain.com.au"> and replace the reference to
www.yourdomain.com.au
with your own domain
name
|
If you use FrontPage
|
- Open
order.htm into the FrontPage editor
- Right mouse click on the Form and select Form Properties
- Highlight the vs variable and click modify
- Replace demo with your
web host logon name, ie vs10033
|
Changing the form
|
You can delete any field
in the form but you cannot -
- Add new fields
- Change the existing variable names used
for the fields.
That's why we call this the Simple Secure Order/Registration
Form.
|
To view orders
|
In your WEB
SITE HOSTING Account you can set -
- The start number for the receipts to be
issued
- A prefix which appears before the receipt
number
- The URL that the user is taken to after
the receipt page
- Email address to which your notifying email
is sent
