ShopSite Forums

We have been using custom product templates and want to add the Option
Finite drop downs in the More info pages. Shopsite's support page says
"you will probably need to write a small program and use the CALL tag to
process it." but I don't know what program it wants me to write. I can
get the information to showw up but it all shows up on one line. Any
suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Patrick,

You can write any program you want, and pass it the ShopSite info via the
CALL tag. ShopSite will then wait while your program does whatever with the
info, and then accept a return value which it will then place on the page in
the place of the CALL tag.

So your program could probably be a simple little perl script that parsed
the Finite Options field and then returned that information in an htnl
SELECT box.
