Re: Re: [mv] Help!! Adding Customer-input variables
****** message to minivend-users from Ed LaFrance <edl@newmediaems.com> ******
Well, there is very little difference here from what you have already done
with the engraving text. Assuming you already have an UseModifier entry
for fonttype in your catalog.cfg, [item-accessories fonttype] should
generate a select box containing the list of values for that item from the
products file. Just like with the engraving text, use [item-modifier
fonttype] to display their choice in basket, checkout, receipt and report.
