[ic] Re: CommonAdjust calculated price

[Daniel A. Shockley]

Well, I'm now getting $0 for all of my prices.

I even tried a simple test UserTag that just returns 1.23, and that 
also gives $0.00 for all prices. I disabled after.cfg, so it doesn't 
change my CommonAdjust. Is there something else interfering that I 
don't know about? I'm running Interchange on a host that provides it 
through CPanel, if that makes a differences.

In catalog.cfg (the UserTag should be fine there, right? Am I crazy?):

PriceField      0
CommonAdjust    [insc_price]

UserTag insc_price Order code quantity inscription
UserTag insc_price Routine <<EOR
sub {
   my ($sku, $quantity, $inscription) = @_;


    $sku         ||= $item->{code};
    $quantity    ||= $item->{quantity};
    $inscription ||= $item->{inscription};

   my $price = $Tag->data( {
         table => 'products',
         field => 'price',
         key => $sku,
     });

   return $price*$quantity + $quantity*1.50*length($inscription);
} 
EOR

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll probably do all that once I have it working.
