Re: shaopping cart limits

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 25898
interpreted = N
texte = This is currently a 100 item limit. Even though this may change in the future, you can get around the limit right now with some fairly simple WebDNA work. There's nothing stopping you from using multiple shopping cart files for a single order. That is, you can use the [cart] tag to generate a unique cart number, then use [cart]_1, [cart]_2, etc. if the customer flows over. Because [cart] is unique, all the other values are unique. Use a header variable in the master cart ([cart]) to keep track of the number of products or carts in use. Obviously this then forces you to write your own formulas to calculate grand total, tax, etc. But it can be done. I'll make sure this gets on our wish list for future versions.
