Connecting FaaS with Checkout Page

[benjyrose]

OK, so I'm separating this out from an earlier thread I somewhat hijacked. I'm creating a form using FaaS, and I've created a checkout page that it refers to. When I submit something, I get an error: on=Xml Error The element 'CustomField' in namespace 'urn:APISchema.xsd' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'FieldValue' in namespace 'urn:APISchema.xsd'.

Three Questions:

1) what does this error mean?
2) Is there a list of errors that could be generated, and what they mean?
3) Is there a way to output the error to my Error page so that I don't have to sift through the %20s in the URL?

thanks,
benjy

FieldValue & FieldName

Benji:

The error is exactly what it says.. the problem you have is with the custom questions.

Custom questions need to be posted in 2 parts:

FieldName
FieldValue

So here it is:

<input name="FieldName" value="Employer" class="text" type="hidden">
<input name="FieldValue" class="text" type="text">

The above will pass to the FaaS the field Employer as the name of the custom field and the value is what the end user will type in the field called FieldValue.

So in a form that needs to collect the following:

• Employer
• Occupation

You need to do the following:

<input name="FieldName" value="Employer" class="text" type="hidden">
<input name="FieldValue" class="text" type="text">

<input name="FieldName" value="Occupation" class="text" type="hidden">
<input name="FieldValue" class="text" type="text">

Hope this helps.

Let us know if we can be of more assistance.

OK, I think I got it...thanks.

I edited the text input fields following your recommendations, but what about grouped radio buttons that need the same "name" atrribute?

Also, now that I made the changes, I'm getting the Error Page with the message on=Decline.

I have OrderMode = Test and TransactionType=Authorize. What does on=Decline mean?

(NOTE: you really really really ought to implement a better error message system -- or at least have a repository of errors, what they mean, and how to fix them.)

Benjy:

Look at the following. With the FaaS you can have 1 radio button set and set it as follows. We are going to come up with a naming convention so you can also use multiple radio buttons but for now you may only use one.

I agree- we will work on the error messages.

Sample radio-button form element:

<input type="hidden" name="FieldName" value="Occupation" class="text" >
</p>
<p>Occupation:</p>
<p>
<input type="radio" name="FieldValue" value="Engineer" />
Engineer<br />
<input type="radio" name="FieldValue" value="Doctor" />
Doctor<br />
<input type="radio" name="FieldValue" value="Lawyer" />
Lawyer</p>
