texte = >In the webdelivery.inc file, i'm trying to tell it to include a description >of the item the >user has purchased. Right now it just displays the SKU and when i try to >add a field >in for description, it physcally writes out [description].The reason is that you are in the context of [LineItems], which can only display information defined in the lineitems of the order file. Since [description] is not a field in the order file, it cannot be displayed as simply as that.If you're using the beta of WebMerchant 3.0, you can use WebDNA to [lookup] any info from a database you like. So I'd use something like[lookup db=../products.db&lookInField=SKU&value=[sku]&returnField=description]Older versions of WebMerchant would require that you store the description into one of the textA-E fields of the lineitems at the time you Add it to the cart.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
