Re: Shipping cost out of synch

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 17207
interpreted = N
texte = >>If a quantity is changed on the cart page, then the update button is >>clicked (generating a $showpage), the shipping cost does not reflect the >>new quantity, unless the update button is clicked again. The subtotal is >>always shown correctly with the new quantity. > >A ShowCart command would be needed, not a ShowPage. What version of >WebCatalog are you using?Whoops, a typo. I am using showcart. WebCat 2.1 CGI for Mac.I have since found a workaround: If I use the WebDNA from formula.db where [shipcost] was used before, it works correctly! I use a [math] variable as the result, then I can use [math][subtotal]+scost[/math] to show the grand total correctly.It works, but the other way should work, otherwise whats the point of having a formulas.db? Just to be clear, the page is like the following, initiated with a $showcart:[lineitems] [showif [quantity]>0] all the usual stuff for line items-- qty is OK [/showif] [/lineitems]subtotal: [subtotal] (correct)shipping cost: [shipcost] (shows value before page submitted) shipping cost: [math]scost=<>[/math] (correct)Total: [grandtotal] (shows value before page submitted) Total: [math][subtotal]+scost[/math] (correct) Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
