texte = My second issue is calculating shipping costs. We're selling books, whose shipping is $5/book. Simple. We're also selling posters. The mailing tubes cost $5 to ship, too, but people can order multiple copies of one poster or single copies of different posters -- all of which can go into the same $5 tube. Right now, it would cost a cost of $20 to ship 4 posters, which is absurd.John Peacock had this suggestion, which a) I don't know how to implement and b) will have customers complaining that they only want to buy the posters -- not mailing tubes:Set the UnitShipCost for the posters to be $0 and then scan the cart for any posters on the page just before you purchase. I would add a new line item for the Poster Shipping Tube instead of trying to mess with the shipping. Then if the person bought posters and books, you would have shipping for books in shipping and the Poster Tube as a seperate line item.For now, I think I'd settle for this solution if I could figure out how to make it work! How does one search the lineitems and add a lineitem based on the result? The logic is simple enough, but I'm having a hard time with it...Here's a simplified version of the code I've got at this point on my invoice.tpl:[orderfile cart=[cart]][SetHeader cart=[cart]]shipVia=[url][__shipVia][/url]&shipToState=[url][__shipToState][/url]&CartIPAddress=[ipAddress][/SetHeader][lineitems] [SetLineItem cart=[cart]&index=[lineindex]]quantity=[interpret][quantity[lineindex]][/interpret]&textA=[url][lookup db=tantramar_publishing.db&lookinfield=sku&value=[url][sku][/url]&returnfield=title][/url][/SetLineItem] [/lineitems]
