texte = Hello,I'm a newbie to WebCatalog. I've managed to modify the store that is provided with the WebCatalog download - the tea shop - on the area of design and layout and some minor modifications.I have few questions:1. I want an automated mailmessage when an order is submitted and processed towards the client. How can I do it or where can I find the correct information for the tags that I need? I understand taht there is a program Emailer included.2. I want extra fields show up from the database. A lot of fields are requested by tags like , ,... In the manual I see other tags (looks like Lasso) with brackets [ ]. When I create a field in the tab based database and integrate a tag like I get an 'undefined' message when the tpl file is processed. What am I doing wrong? If are WebDNA tags where can I find a manual of them? I got some 300 pages printed by now but these tags are not mentioned (or have I overlooked)I need extra fields for other language descriptions and titles and VAT, fax fields......3. StoreBuilder is making great functional sites but doesn't meet my requirements enough for webdesign and overall look and feel of a store. Are there other nice solutions (besides starting to program)?4. WebCatalog has some advantages over Ch-Ching. One of them is speed and I think it's own tags language. Are there other advantages? I want to set up multiple shopping stores in the near future so I want to be sure that I am using the right tools and that I'm investing in the right technology (WebCatalog is much more expensive than Ch-Ching). Any tips/suggestions/thoughts are welcome.Regards, Peter. peter.louies@pixeldesign.be------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
