Using item modifiers (Accessories) in conjunction with CommonAdjust pricing
is one way to handle this:
in catalog.cfg...
UseModifier weight,flower
CommonAdjust products:price, ==weight:pricing, ==flower:pricing
in pricing database...
sku 1kg 2kg 1doz 1.5doz
cake 10 20
bouquet 10 15
Then set the modifier on the order form for the item, either in a hidden
form variable (mv_order_wieght=1kg) or using [item-accessories nnnnn] to
read a list of selections from the products database.
I realize this is a little sketchy. there are several steps in setting
this up. Unfortunately the latest docs (at least the HTML versions online)
are quite deficient in describing this feature. I suggest you get your
hands on a late copy of the Minivend docs (still archived at
ftp.akopia.com, I believe) and give the section on CommonAdjust a good read.
