interpreted = N
texte = Last month, after much work (and assistance from this list), I set up a webcatalog store (hppt://www.bigmindmedia.com/osmosis). One obstacle that was resolved had to do with shipping. In order to calculate shipping based on total dollar amount (ex., $1 to $20 = $4.95 for shipping and handling, and so on), I set up a database called ship.db and used the formula:[format .2f][lookup db=ship.db&lookInField=subtot&value=[format .0f][subtotal][/format]&returnField=shipping¬Found=10][/format]This has worked great so far. Unfortunately, I have a new problem, which is that in this store, we are selling some holiday gift certificates which SHOULD NOT HAVE any shipping or handling charges. I'm hoping the way I set up shipping is somehow compatible with appropriating a zero dollar amount for certain items towards the shipping calculation, but I can't figure out in my head how to make this work. Any one have any ideas?Thanks,John Englander Big Mind Media-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out John's Website and new CD, River Song, at his NOMA/Big Mind website:
