texte = Marko, I was just forced to realize that the time I spent reverse-engineering [cart] was in fact purely academic as Donovan suggested. It makes perfect sense now, but I completely spaced the fact that whether or not you use the shopping cart system, whenever you invoke [cart] a "shopping cart" is created which can be accessed via [orderfile], so, either way works since I already took the time to figure it out, but in reality, it was just navel-gazing on my part (but I did learn a thing or two and I had the time then). So, for future reference, you can still get the info you need using the method that Donovan & Stuart suggested: [text]var_cart=[cart][/text][!] <-- or whatever cart # you need[/!] [orderfile file=./[var_cart]] Cart was created on the day: [date]
and the time: [time] [/orderfile] -Dan On 29 Mar 2006 12:07:05 +1100 Marko Bernyk
