texte = Some suggestions for webcatalog that popped into my head earlier today. I don't guarantee that these are necessarily good ideas...1) have a preferred database in every directory. Since this is a shopping server, make the database products.db (or maybe make this should be user settable in webcatalog preferences) Then any database commands would automatically apply to the preferred database if a database is not specified. ie in a [search] command the database would be assumed to be products.db living in the same directory if not specifically defined otherwise. 2) have a commands for radio, checkboxes and pulldowns that shortens coding. ie [radio db=whatever.db&field=color(this field would be automatically summarized, and the unique values set to a radio button)&cart=[cart]&selected=header14(or some other way of defining the selected choice) This would greatly speed up web page form development. 3) have shortened versions of a showcarttable command such that a designer could drop into a page coding like [showcarttable cart=[cart]&width=550&col1=texta&labelcol1=Description&col2=quantity&col3=pr ice] and webcatalog would automatically generate table complete with subtotal, et al (or with options to turn the bottom off) Of course, for those who prefer to code, they could still do it the old way. 4) BETTER S&H EXAMPLES perhaps based on order subtotals (ooh, seem to be beating a dead horse here) Brian B.
