The [if] chain might be hard to maintain. How about something along
the lines of [some_global_usertag]
{
# in /usr/lib/perl5/MV or your @INC
# @INC is different for MV3 and MV4
require MV:MyLib.pm
; # process it in perl - Output can be interpolated too, if you want
return $my_basket_code;
}
Then you can call same tag from any number of places and you
can work on it without restarting server, etc... For example, it
might replace the [item-list] loop in all your checkout pages.
You will have a lot more flexibility in raw perl (assuming you are
comfortable with it).
We do something like that with our custom "perl basket" code. It
displays arbitrary attributes according to what is actually in the
basket and for what the particular catalog allows.
