Re: [mv] Slick little inventory checker (not!)

I use perl to check the inventory field (avoiding nested IFs):

 [perl interpolate=1]
        return 1 if (('[item-field limited]' eq 'yes') && ('[item-data 
inventory qty]' < 1));
        return 0;
 [/perl]

This checks products.asc for a 'yes' in my 'limited' field (indicating that 
this product has an entry in inventory.asc) and then checks if the quantity < 
1.

HTH,
Rob Maurer
