[subtotal] problems -- help?

numero = 16509
interpreted = N
texte = I searched the entire archives of the talk list, and couldn't find a direct answer. We are creating a wholesale site that presents different prices for a user, depending on their account number information. Thus, when they order from us, one user may see a different final price than another user.For example, when we list a price on a page, I am using a lot of [showif] commands to get the right price to show up. This is working really well, except when I get to the shopping cart, and specifically the [subtotal] part. It seems that the [subtotal] can only deal with the quantity*[price], but since my prices aren't in the [price] field of my database, it is not subtotaling properly.I have created a special Formulas.db in the same directory as the ShoppingCart.tmpl file, which looks like this:Name Formula price [lookup db=/greenmarket/catalog.txt&lookInField=sku&value=[sku]&returnField=[showif [SpecialID]^101][price2][/showif][showif [SpecialID]^221][price3][/showif][showif [SpecialID]^334][price4][/showif][showif [SpecialID]^445][price5][/showif]] (that's all on one line for those of you with text wrap on)Basically, every page of the website is properly passing the [SpecialID] variable, and all of the [price#] tags are valid database fields that have data. Right now, the [subtotal] for the shopping cart page shows up as: $0.00 no matter what I do.ANOTHER weird symptom... in order to make sure that the variables were being passed properly to the Formulas.db file, I replaced the price line with this in the Formulas.db file:price [showif [SpecialID]^101]100[/showif]0 The results of this were even more baffling... if I only had one product in the shopping cart, the [subtotal] = $0.00 If I had more than one, the [subtotal] = $1000 I would have expected the result to either be 0.00 or 1000... but not both.Can anyone help me with this problem? I am on a tight deadline and this snafu was not expected!-josh knauer ------------------------ Technical Support Center The EnviroLink Network http://www.envirolink.org/support/Ph: 412-683-6400 Fx: 412-683-8460The EnviroLink Network is membership-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
