[ic] mv_price and CommonAdjust

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Karen Gold)]

Hi John,

Here's how I got a price override to work on 4.8.7 for the IC admin order
entry page.
Mike Heins also mentioned:
[set mv_UseModifier]mv_price[/set]
in the html page, but I haven't got it to work, so I used UseModifier in the
catalog.cfg.

Change CommonAdjust and add UseModifier in ./catalogs/_STORE_/catalog.cfg:
The first CommonAdjust entry needs to be "$".
CommonAdjust    $, ;:sale_price, ;:price, ==:options
UseModifier     mv_price

Makesure after.cfg isn't change CommonaAdjust to something different than in
catalog.cfg
./catlogs/_STORE_/etc/after.cfg

Restart IC if you make changes in the cfg's.
