This resource uses a system I built that is integrated right with the main site. Since all these templates are original (but retain all the standard discounting schemes), I chose to add a "call_center" directory from the root and have all the templates for the callcenter use inside it. Well, the first thing I found was the formulas.db didn't work and I had to duplicate it (and all the corresponding .incs). To duplicate the formulas.db once isn't such a big deal, but it can get frustrating beyond that. It would nice to just say: [addlineitems cart=../dir/[cart]&db=../admin/products.db&SKU=[theSKU]&formulapath=../] Not to add insult to injury but it would also be nice to be able to specify your unique field in the addlineitems context. Why does it have to be named "SKU"? Sorry for the rants today ;-) I *can* see a difficulty in doing this though... I think it might be difficult to pick a formulas database and then have the respective .inc's come out right (the .inc's would have to be relative to the formulas.db and not the page that is calling the formulas.db... though I have faith in Scott that he could figure this one out ;-) Donovan P.S.
