[ic] add on-the-fly in admin

[FixtureFactor.com]

I only want to do this in the ADMIN section, when i am placing an order on
behalf of a customer.

I could do a $1 item, but is it possible to change the title of that item as
you are adding it?

How would you make any changes necessary to be able to do this stuff?

Thanks alot
Aaron

You CAN do that but I'd suspect you will find it is a can of worms.

If you just want to charge an arbitrary total against a list of
products, it might be easier and cleaner to override the total
instead.  Allowing price overrides and price changes through cgi
is dangerous; I'd not do it except in a "known user" scenario -
maybe the admin section is ok.

Changing the price of an existing item would be better.  But
by the time you set that up you might as well price it at $1 and
use quantity to set the discount amount.

Why not just use the built in DISCOUNT feature?  You could set that
too.
