Re: Script to modify values in database
****** message to minivend-users from "Webmaster of Infothai CM Co., Ltd." <webmaster@infothai.com> ******
I did something similar with exchange rates. I used the "#include" functionality
in the catalog configuration file to incorporate the contents of the file. The
file itself contained the exchange rate defined as a Minivend localization
paramter, e.g.:
Locale en_TH PriceDivide 36.7979
You could do something similar, or simply define your own variable.
Whenever the file is updated, the affected catalog(s) must be restarted.
Perl can do this by calling the appropriate catalog restart scripts.
Regards,
Mike
