Putting a page between checkout and invoice

texte = WebCat 3.0.4 with WebMerchant on Web* 4.0I'm modifying a StoreBuilder-created store. I think that the messages on this list are finally starting to sink in, as I've managed to do the following without resorting to asking for help from you all :)* customers order software or merchandise from the site * they go to checkout.tpl to enter their shipping info * pressing submit on the form takes them to a sitelicense.tpl page I created instead of directly to invoice.tpl * On this page I have a [lineitems] context that loops through all ordered products and totals up the price of software ordered (if any) * If that total is >0, it shows them site licensing legalese, and asks for # of CPUs & # of printers * User posts that value; the form posts back to sitelicense.tpl and displays the calculated surcharge. * Pressing submit then sends this value to invoice.tpl, where an [addlineitem] context looks up a sitelicense SKU in products.db and adds it to the order with a modified price (it's 0 in the db). * If no software is in [lineitems] and total=0, a [redirect] bounces them right to invoice.tpl and they see no site license stuff.Everything works great, with one tiny little problem: none of the billing info entered in checkout.tpl is going to invoice.tpl. I fully realize why this is: sitelicense.tpl isn't passing it along. Normally, going right from checkout to invoice, the form variables are passed along and invoice handles setting the header.I've passed some variables along via hidden fields, both when posting back to sitelicense with my calculation, and when continuing on to invoice.tpl. (I've had to do it as a URL when redirecting, however).So the question is, what is the best way to pass this information? Should I do a [formvariables] loop at each stage of the game and keep passing them along? Or should I do the [setheader] at the top of sitelicense instead? Also, I've set up a number of math variables for doing the site license calculation... if I use [formvariables] will those be passed along too (they don't need to, so I don't want them to)?I guess I'm looking for general plan of attack here; actually writing the code will be my homework.Thanks for all the assistance. Obviously many of us newbies would be sunk without all of your help. ===== -- Chris Vargas Grant me the strength to change
