texte = I think I have it solved. I was passing the Options variable from the Products page to the lineitems loop on the ShoppingCart page as [TextD] to get around the restrictions on variable names in a lineitems loop, but used [Woods] for the same value in Formulas.db. Therefore, when the lineitems loop called up Formulas.db, the lookup didn't have a value for [Woods]. If I used the same lookup outside a lineitems loop, even on ShoppingCarts.tpl, it worked correctly. This is what threw me.This is wrong in lineitems, but right outside lineitems:[lookup db=Woods.db&lookinfield=Woods&value=[URL][Woods][/URL]&returnfield=ExtraCost]This is right in lineitems:[lookup db=Woods.db&lookinfield=Woods&value=[URL][TextD][/URL]&returnfield=ExtraCost]This works:Name FormulaPrice [Math][lookup db=Products.db&lookinfield=SKU&value=[URL][SKU][/URL]&returnfield=Price]+([lookup db=Products.db&lookinfield=SKU&value=[URL][SKU][/URL]&returnfield=Price]*[lookup db=Woods.db&lookinfield=Woods&value=[URL][TextD][/URL]&returnfield=ExtraCost])[/Math]It's not at all intuitive and the docs are damn little help. It would be just as secure to allow Price to be changed by a formula within the lineitems loop.I hope this helps someone else. I doubt this is unique to my experience.Glenn-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
