Keep in mind that it'sreally a launching point for your store... it's notmeant to be a one size fits all solution. You'llprobably end up modifying the WebCatalog templates youfind in the Store folder (and in the Admin folder inthe Store folder) to suit your purposes.For instance, in my case, I needed a field for a Macdownload name and a PC download name for each product.I added a column to the products.db file in Excel,changed the OTHER_INFO field to MAC_DL and named mynew column PC_DL (by adding it to the products.hdrfile in the right location). I also had to rename/addthose fields in the full.tpl file, so that when IAdd a product via StoreBuilder, the right field namesshow up.In your case, you would want to follow John's adviceand experiment with the formulas.db to reassign pricesfrom user input. You might be able to store all theoptional prices along with each SKU, then useformulas.db to set the real price to the optionalprice depending on which option was selected. One thing that's (in my opinion) underdocumented: whenyou change an item's price in a formula or in an[addlineitems] context, you have to supply the PriceChange password. That tripped me up for a long time.Hope this advice is right, as I'm pretty much a newbiemyself...__________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
