It keeps the original formatting. numero = 10288

texte = Deep in tmpl-land :-)First off, having dug around a bit in the General Store example we're quite impressed by what we've seen so far.The first change we want to make to the General Store structure is that we want to know/track the geographic location of the visitor off the bat. The reason for needing this information is that we ship virtually everywhere and we want to be able to provide accurate shipping costs on the fly as items are added to the shopping cart.What we are thinking is that we'd ask the visitor to just select the location from a pop-up menu on the entry page (it's a list of 100+ countries). The question is how to pass that information to the shopping cart. We can't find where the shopping cart is created and assume that's where we would pass the location information into the cart ?Where is the shopping cart created ? The entry page doesn't have a NewCart command and we didn't see it on the search page either (where the shopping cart is referenced).I hope that question makes sense :-)-Sven_____________________________________________________________________ Sven U.
