Re: How do I add my own __MVC_MYOWN___ Macro

Hi! All,

Thanks for Chris' reply.

But, after I added the variable in additional_fields, it didn't work, because makecat did not subsitute for the new
variables I defined in additional_fields.

It's almost like I need to "activate" the new variables somehow, but I searched the document and couldn't find a
clue...

Please help!!!
