MvCALL Timeout Suggestions

Hello All-
I am trying to grab an XML document from another server... the problem I
am running into is that the file is fairly large and is causing MvCALL
to timeout near the end. Does anyone else have a suggestion? The
limitations with MvCALL are killing me ;-)

Thanks,
Scott

MvCALL Timeout Suggestions



Hi Scott,

Try wget() instead and parse the file locally.

Do you know what version of VM this came out in? I get: Line 32:
Unresolved call to external function 'wget'.

Running VM 4.14, which I thought was the latest...

MvCALL Timeout Suggestions



You apparently forgot to update the libraries when overwriting mivavm =
with
the new version. Wget() works just fine since a long time. However, do =
not
expect any serious decreasing of the processing time - the function =
seems to
share the very same code that drives the MvCALL tag, so very likely the
difference won't be any important.

PPT - class statement for select box






I am trying to assign a class to my select boxes to make them
smaller font type

Checked with Viking Support, they send me to this list

maybe someone has an idea

I am using Product Page Template, where the token %fields%
yields the Select Statement for the drop down select box

Ideally I'd like something like this

<SELECT NAME='abced Class='formText' >
<OPTION VALUE=.....

</SELECT>


A hard coded size=" " would probably do too


Thx

PPT - class statement for select box



What is adding the class statement?

With CSS you can use
<STYLE>
Select {}

- or -

.formText {}

</STYLE>

At the beginning of the template or in your head area. However, that class
call should be class="" (although ' ' would work sometimes).

You can also do it locally:
<SELECT NAME='abced' style="font-size:70%;">

PPT - class statement for select box





Can't do it locally because the token %fields% (PPT) produces the entire select statement,
you can't get "inside" of it.


I got it working - sort of - using a global setting in a style definition (OUI - Head Tags)

like
<STYLE>
select {....}

</STYLE>

This now affects all select boxes.

What I was originally looking for was to add formatting information
to just one select box (generated be the token %fields% in ppt)

PPT - class statement for select box



You would do it in the Attribute template for the PT you are using. That
would make it universal for all <SELECT> statements, which is what you
indicated that you wanted.

What I often do is render the product page as it normally does, with all
the attributes in place, then view the source code.

Take that source code and then copy it into the space occupied by
%attributes% in your main product template area.

You would do this once your attribute fields are finalized. Then you can
tweak layout to your heart's content.

Don't forget, you can apply a different template to a group of products,
if you need to have a different look.

PPT - class statement for select box



Perhaps you can access the attributes template (don't have one in front of
me) and add the following to the select statement:

<SELECT class="%attr_code%>

So that the select statement given a class statement to match the attribute
code, Then you can selectively apply the CSS.

BTW: These questions, while they may look like coding are best served on the
Merchant Users list as most coders here don't have a lot of experience or
interest in OpenTokens or familiarity with Viking Template tokens.

It appears that archive.so on the server makes reference to wget, but I
