Re: Re: [mv] Help!! Adding Customer-input variables
****** message to minivend-users from qSYSTEMS@t-online.de (Gawain MacMillan) ******
Ed-
. .and on to the last hurdle..
the chosen values now appear in the basket and in checkout using
the two modifiers in the catalog.cfg...
... but I canīt figure out in the receipt and report where to place
[item-list]
[item-modifier fonttype]
[item-modifier engraving]
[/item-list]
or do these variables also need to be defined
in the sql somehow
Thanks,
Alasdair
(ps. this is my 1st Catalog!)
