texte = This is a repost of my second question from earlier. I'm sorry, I have a bad and annoying habit of asking more than one question in one post, but I'm in recovery, I'm trying to change! So, here goes... I am writing a routine to make sure that files I am creating with a CGI-ish program I wrote have indeed been deposited in the StockRoom before I send the customer to the Purchase page (this is to prevent file not found errors). I am using [showif] and [hideif] to have a page meta to itself until the files exist, at which point it metas to the purchase page. Here's my idea for the code:Set the variables...[math]testindex=0[/math] [math]count=0[/math]Count the items in the order...[math][orderfile cart=[cart]][lineitems]count=count+1[lineitems][/orderfile][/math]count the # of files in the StockRoom whose filenames match the items in the order:[listfiles /StockRoom][lineitems][showif filename=[SKU].[lineindex]][math]testindex=testindex+1[/showif][/lineitems][/listfiles]Where [SKU].[lineindex] is the filename I'm looking for. Then I conditionally show the META Command I want:[Showif count=testindex][/Showif] [Hideif count=testindex][/Hideif]The body of the page contains a Please wait for your files to be created... message and hopefully some amusing animated GIF.Is this crazy, or will it work? I'm sure I've got some errors in syntax, if not concept. (probably an error in the META command, too--I've got to check that)Another question is, do I really need to do this or is there some way I can have WebMerchant keep trying to find the files to move to WebDelivery until they appear?Please post your suggestions and answers, I greatly appreciate them.Thanks, Michael Bohan Music on Demand, LLC Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
