Forgive the spelling, I program in code and only know such words. :P
anywho... This topic has been a great hassle for other ppl and myself,
after reading the achives and getting all of the imput from the messages
and docs, I can understand why it's not a hard programed thing..

I can only assume that interchange was not limited to just a
cat/shopcart system.  I would, however, like to add this function in for
atlest myself if not the rest of the ppl whom need it. The idea is
simple, I'm not talking about using ComonAdjust or anything that
requires the use of configureing the catolog.cfg (unless it;s adding
code).

I want the abillity todo 2 things... the first is to manipulate the
price field in such that you would enter "3.00,+2.00,+3.00". so the
first part is the defult price value (3.00) of that item and the other
parts of that field are the ups or downs of that item... ok now we add
another field to the Item table... "Price By" in this it would be such
"Size" "COLOR" or "Wieght" so lets say I select "Size" now when I fill
out size I simply put "S,M,L" and the attributs are assotiated with the
size and price... the reason I want this to be an BY ITEM basis, is
because I want to not be limited to All products on the site to S,M,L or
for that matter, I want to charge by wieght sometimes, on some items.
CommonAdjust is just for Quantaty Sizing, or everything on the site has
to be thought of in then catalog.cfg...

So now the question, where is the ui in witch I should put this in.  I
can and will program it, unless it's already an option... or we can all
put our minds together and think of a less custom solution... again I
dont want to hear anymore about COMMONADJUST!!!
