I set the password in Preferences and used &password=[password]&price=[price] and &password=secret&price=[price]I'm sure neither of those is the correct syntax, but before I could study it more, I hit on another idea.On ShoppingCart.tpl, I changed to [quantity]This is not an elegant solution, but it works.It passes [quantity] to Invoice.tpl and ShoppingCart.tpl, but doesn't allow users to change the value. They can delete the item from the cart and then add it back again with a different quantity, but can't get an improper quantity discount by changing [quantity]. It also eliminates the mysterious 8-digit number problem.Glenn ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
