texte = OK, am feeling brain dead. Wonder if someone can offer some suggestions -- either what I'm missing or better yet, a simpler way -- on the following...I have certain SKUs that a customer may customize. For these SKUs, I want to send them to a separate page to provide the customization info (for now, simple text field in a form).The problem I'm having is in using a [showif] so that the FORM sends the customer to the customize page next instead of the shopping cart page.What makes this a small hairball (at least for me) is that the SKUs are in a related db, not the catalog.db that's been searched up to this point. So I want to do this...1) search the pricing.db to see if the SKU selected can be customized ([customized]=T)2) if the SKU can be customized, use [showif] so that the FORM action will send the shopper to the Customize.tmpl next I've tried surrounding the [showif] with a SEARCH context, but am missing something. Here's what I have so far:
Here's the surrounding snippet; you can see that trying this Search is inside of another Search.....[SEARCH db=pricing.db&eqItemdatarq=[Item]&SKUsort=1&SKUsortdir=as] [foundItems] [SKU] [showif [SkuName]>0][SkuName][/showif] [showif [ProdSizes]>0][ProdSizes][/showif] [showif [Colors]>0][Colors][/showif] $[Price] [showif [SRP]>0]$[SRP][/showif] [showif [SRP]>0][Format .1f][math](([SRP]-[price])/[SRP])*100[/math][/format]%[/showif]
