database search and UPS linking
Blake Kadatz
you think:
http://fusionfaq.bitmotion.com/article/article_view.asp?id=19
The above article will allow you to set it up to search your database
for their orders, assuming they have been entered in somehow. What
you're looking to do is to display the results after having performed
the search using something similar to what the article explains and
one field of the results will be a tracking number. You then want the
user to be able to click on the number and go to the UPS site.
One way to do this is to enter in the tracking number as an HTML link.
Go to the UPS tracking page at:
http://www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html
and enter in a tracking number that you know works. Note the HTML
that gets generated with a link to the individual item. Construct
your link in such a way as to go to the results page, eg:
<a
href="http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking.cgi?tracknums_displaye
d=1&TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&HTMLVersion=4.0&InquiryNumber1=1Z1234567890A
BCDEF">1Z1234567890ABCDEF</a>
Replace the 1Z1234567890ABCDEF with the actual tracking number
assigned to this order and the user will then be taken to the UPS page
and have the shipment displayed.
