Re: [mv] Quantity Pricing Question-Different Approach!

[OTR Comm <otrcomm@isp-systems.com>]

Hello,

I have a code snippet:

        [page form="
                mv_order_item=[loop-code]
                mv_order_quantity=4
                mv_separate_items=0
                mv_todo=return
                mv_nextpage=boudicca/bags"
        ] [loop-price 5]</A>

and then another one:

                [page form="
                mv_order_item=[loop-code]
                
                [if ordered [loop-code]]
                        [set mv_order_quantity]9[/set]
                [else]
                        [set mv_order_quantity]10[/set]
                [/else]
                [/if]
                
                mv_separate_items=0
                mv_todo=return
                mv_nextpage=boudicca/bags"
        ] [loop-price 10]</A>

The first reference works fine, it will increase the quantity of an item
in my cart by 4 and use the q5 quantity price defined in pricing.asc.

However, the second snippet does not 'set' mv_order_quantity based on
whether or not the item is already in the cart.  If have tested the
[if][else] conditional outside the structure and it works.

Am I using the set tag incorrectly here or is it that I can not use an
[if][else] conditional in this structure?

What I did get to work is:

                [if ordered [loop-code]]
                        
                [page form="
                        mv_order_item=[loop-code]
                        mv_order_quantity=9
                        mv_separate_items=0
                        mv_todo=return
                        mv_nextpage=boudicca/bags"
                ] [loop-price 10]</A>
                
                [else]
        
                [page form="
                        mv_order_item=[loop-code]
                        mv_order_quantity=10
                        mv_separate_items=0
                        mv_todo=return
                        mv_nextpage=boudicca/bags"
                ] [loop-price 10]</A>
                        
                [/else]
                [/if]  

but this seems like a lot of redundant code to include.  It would be
nice if I code just work with the mv_order_quantity variable.

Thanks again,
