MIVA API Order lookup

[paul.oreilly]

HI,

Just beginning to play with the MIVA API to display previous order information on the Account overview page. These 2 functions look very useful, but I'm unclear as to what the "order var" parameter is:

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Root $ '/modules/component/cmp-cssui-vieworder.mvc'" name="l.success" value="Order_Load_Lookup(bill_email, bill_zip, order_id, order var)" />

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.success" value="Order_Load_Last(order var)" />

Also, to display the results of these calls, do I mvt out the order:value? Then if I wanted to display information of the products (url, thumbnail, etc) in that order, would i need to look that up separately, or can that be done from the return results directly? many thanks for any help.

best,
Paul

order is a structure containing data about a Miva Merchant order.
var is a parameter modifier indicating that the order variable passed in can be altered by the function.

The function takes an order ID (order_id) and loads all related data of that Miva Merchant order into the order structure variable, where you can now reference and use the related data.

Thanks for clarifying Gordon.

It looks like those functions are for orders across the store, so Order_Load_Last() returns everything about the latest oder placed, not the latest order for a given customer.

So, my misunderstanding, unless that function accepts a customer ID that would return that customers last order, but I could not get that to work.

thanks for your help though,
Paul

You could use OrderList_Load_Customer( cust_id, orders var)

You would need to select the LAST order (pretty easy since it is sorted by ascending order ID).
