Where is hosting module?

Thank you. Downloaded HEAD and here is what hosting.module README.txt says:

NOT 4.7

The hosting module is not yet released with 4.7 and should be
considered either incompatible, unstable or unfinished.

Fair enough. Seems like one would be able to perhaps use another module and modify it to sell hosting, with one exception: How do you transfer the customer's specific requests to the admin?

In the current hosting module, when you add hosting to your cart, you are also prompted to enter your domain name and special requirements. These requirements should be forwarded to the admin once the transaction is completed. Can anyone point me to a module which does something similar so I could perhaps try to figure out how to add this feature to hosting?

Thanks.

The version of the hosting.module I have has the patch applied. It works with respect allowing user to pay for hosting. What I'm trying to do now is bring back the user's provisioning instructions after the sale is made so I know what exactly they want done (i.e., domain name, hosting options, etc...).

In theme_product_hosting_view(&$node, $teaser = 0, $page = 0) there is this code:

    $form['options']['data'] = array(
      '#tree'          => true,
    );
    $form['options']['data']['hosting_add_domain'] = array(
      '#title'         => t('Domain'),
      '#type'          => 'textfield',
      '#default_value' => $item[$node->nid]->hosting_add_domain,
      '#size'          => 40,
      '#max_length'    => 255,
      '#description'   =>  t('Please enter the domain(s) you would like to host. Please separate multiple domains using ","'),
      '#required'      => true,
    );
    $form['options']['data']['instructions'] = array(
      '#title'         => t('Instructions'),
      '#type'          => 'textarea',
      '#default_value' => $item[$node->nid]->instructions,
      '#rows'          => 10,
      '#cols'          => 74,
      '#description'   =>  t('Please enter the other information you would like us to keep in mind while setting up your account. Also dont forget to add the application you would like us to setup for you. Click '.l('here', 'hosting-applications').' for the list of applications.'),
      '#required'      => true,
    );

When I do a store_transaction_load on an applicable transaction, I see the input in the "data" field in the items[] array:

_{stdClass Object ( [txnid] => 5 [uid] => 1 [type] => cart [mail] => [shipping_cost] => 0.00 [payment_method] => paypal [payment_status] => 2 [payment_date] => 1169529269 [workflow] => 6 [gross] => 0.50 [expires] => 0 [created] => 1169529251 [changed] => 1169529269 [duedate] => 0 [items] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [txnid] => 5 [nid] => 96 [vid] => 96 [title] => Web Site Hosting [price] => 0.50 [qty] => 1 [expires] => 0 [data] => a:2:{s:18:"hosting_add_domain";s:13:"www.testdomain.com";s:12:"instructions";s:21:"Please add my domain.";} [is_recurring] => 0 [price_interval] => 0 [price_unit] => [price_cycle] => 0 [auto_charge] => 0 [last_notify] => 0 [rtxnid] => [rnid] => [ptype] => hosting ) ) [misc] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [txnid] => 5 [type] => shipping [vid] => 0 [description] => Shipping [invisible] => 0 [price] => 0.00 [qty] => 1 [weight] => 9 ) ) [payment] => stdClass Object ( [txnid] => 5 [ppid] => 8498002B0 [fee] => 0.31 ) [ship] => )}

My question is, how do I pull this data back out? What's the command to see the data elements "hosting_add_domain" and "instructions" from a particular transaction?

Once I figure this out, then I can figure out how to allow the admin user to view the hosting customer's requests. When that's done, the hosting module will at least be mimimally functional and useful.

Thanks!

Answered my own question: unserialize.

/**
 * Modification 2007-02-05 - List any data in ec_transaction_product data field
 */
function transaction_data() {

  $output = "";

  $txnid = (int) arg(4);

  /* Get the data.. */
  if ($txnid) {
    $data = unserialize(db_result(db_query('SELECT data FROM {ec_transaction_product} WHERE txnid = %d', $txnid)));
	$data2 = unserialize ($data); 
    $output .= "<h3>Customer Data Input for Transaction : " . $txnid . "</h3>";
    $output .= "<table>";
    $output .= "<tr><td>Data Key</td><td>Value</td></tr>";
    foreach ($data2 as $key => $value) {
         $output .= "<tr><td>" . $key . "</td><td><b>" . $value . "</b></td></tr>";
	}
    $output .= "</table>";
  }

  return $output;
}

So, now, I've managed to capture the data that the customer inputs when he places hosting order, and display it on transaction screen.

I think the hosting-applications link is just to a node that lists applications. This could be easily created as a page node and aliased to "hosting-applications".

You mentioned that this module needed a lot of work to be released. I'm testing it now for just regular purchases. What else did you feel needed to be done?
