texte = Web-Catalog Gurus:We are finding an interesting feature (dare I say bug) that is occuring in our shopping cart system. It also happens in all of the examples shipped with Web Catalog.The problem occurs when a user adds something to the shopping cart, and then changes the quantity that they want and then they decide they want to Shop Some More. When they click on that link, we pass the [cart] info along, and everything is fine until they visit their shopping cart again. All of the products that they ordered are there, but the [quantity] and any other custom tags that we have there are either blank or at quantity=1.Is there a way to force Web Catalog to remember what the quantities should be? I see two ways of doing this, but am not quite sure how to implement either:1) Pass all of the quantity and other custom info to through the Shop Some More link, and all subsequent pages (this seems REALLY clumsy)or2) Somehow write the quantity and custom info to the actual Shopping Cart file, but I have yet to figure out how to do this.Any ideas?-josh knauer http://www.go-organic.com------------------------ 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.
