texte = Thanks again to everyone for their help. I'm almost done with our site, and I think it's going to be great.I feel like I've missed one basic concept of WebCatalog. What is required to make sure that [cart] gets passed from page to page. If you are not using a command with your url, will the [cart] id get lost? Does this mean you should always include at least a $showpage in the url with cart=[cart] to prevent the loss of [cart]?The reason for the first question is the second question: I am writing a routine to make sure that files I am creating with a CGI I wrote have indeed been deposited in the StockRoom before I send the customer to the Purchase page. 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 (which requires that [cart] be passed from the page before): [math]testindex=0[/math] [math]count=0[/math]I 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]Is this crazy, or will it work? I'm sure I've got some errors in syntax if not concept. (probably the META command, too--I've got to check that)Another questions 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
