Hello all,
Has anyone found a way to allow order quantity specification in their
order anywhere links? I've tried inserting the qnty option in the CGI call
to no avail.
If it isn't possible through order anywhere, can it be done with custom
pages and smart tags?

TIA,
briden

Make a test page in ShopSite and assign it a product that has the Display
quantity box option checked on. Publish the page, and then look at the
HTML
source, and you will see that when you add the quantity box and/or
pull-down
menu options to the pages the order buttons are no longer simple href
links,
they are now submit buttons for a FORM (required to collect the arbitrary
info
that can be placed in the quantity field or selected in the pull-down).

In v6 OrderAnywhere will be able to give you the HTML for this form, but
right
now you can either copy it from a ShopSite-generated test page, or if you
can
see how it is done you may be able to make the forms on your own using the
example from the test page and the itemnum used in the normal
OrderAnywhere
URL.
