Re: Why is my easy [AddLineItems] NOT working??

texte = Tim that means the item was being added to the cart the whole time but you just weren't seeing it because [lineitems] are only seen within the context of an orderfile. One of the automagical (and mysterious for the new user) features of webcat is that certain commands (like add) when used in the URL (?command=add...) automatically wrap the next page (the one the URL leads to) in an IMPLIED orderfile context. (if not within such a context then how would webcat know what order file it was supposed to show data from?) When you switched from the addlineitem command to the addlineitem context, then you lost that IMPLIED orderfile context, and so now (as Will pointed out) you have to use an EXPLICIT one.If you are ever unsure you can simply open your orderfile referenced by the cart # with a text editor and see if it matches what data you display with [lineitems], [headerN]'s, etc. (values stored in an orderfile... see http://betadoc.smithmicro.com/OrderFileFormat.html)-JohnTim Robinson wrote:> Yes, it works!
