API addorder with configoptions

[martynnorman]

I am having difficulties creating orders with ConfigOptions.

Does anyone know what actually needs to be passed in? I'm assuming the IDs of the options, but that doesn't seem to do anything, and the documentation is not very informative on this particular parameter..

 

It's creating the Product itself, but it's not adding the additional configurable options, so the products/invoices are wrong.

If anyone is wondering how to do it in .net - here's basically how I did it....

 

This formats the .net name-value-pair arrays into the php formatting for base64 encoding.

 

 

NameValueCollection httpParam = new NameValueCollection();

Dictionary<string, string> configOption = new Dictionary<string, string>();

configOption.Add(strAddonId, strAddonOptionId);

 

byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(phpStringArray(configOption));

string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

httpParam.Add("configoptions", base64String);

 

 

public static string phpStringArray(Dictionary<string, string> arr)

{

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("a:")

.Append(arr.Count).Append(":{");

 

foreach (string key in arr.Keys)

{

sb.AppendFormat("s:{0}:\"{1}\";s:{2}:\"{3}\";",

key.Length, key, arr[key].Length, arr[key]);

}

 

return sb.Append('}').ToString();

}
