texte = Hi all,We have three product categories; posters, postcards and books. Postcards and books have taxes and shipping built-in to their price. Posters, on the other hand, do not. The mailing tubes in which we ship the posters cost $5 to mail, and can hold more than one poster. Therefore, the workaround is to detect the presence of a poster in the cart and add a mailing tube to the order (price=$0, unitshipcost=$5). Brilliant. It works. But every time we hit shoppingcart.tpl or invoice.tpl, another mailing tube gets added, and they add up quick. If we can get this going, we're set -- we can figure out how to hide them (to keep people from removing them!) and how to delete the mailing tube from the order if the user removes all posters from the cart (I think), but this has us stuck.The code (with thanks to John Butler and John Peacock) looks like this:[!]This checks the cart for posters, and adds a mailing tube if it finds one![/!][lineitems] [showif [url][itemType][/url]=poster] [text show=F]needsTube=yes[/text] [/showif] [/lineitems][hideif [url][SKU][/url]=10001] [showif [url][needsTube][/url]=yes] [AddLineItem cart=[cart]&db=tantramar_publishing.db&sku=10001][/AddLineItem] [/showif] [/hideif] It's adding the mailing tube okay, but the [hideif] context doesn't prevent it from adding more mailing tubes, which to my eye, it should. Can anyone spot the problem? -- Regards,Christopher Mackay, Director of Technical Services Tantramar Interactive, http://www.tantramar.com/ 506/364-1097 cell: 364-7659 fax: 536-2409NEW!
