    External Attributes?



    Anyone know if there is any possible way to add an attribute into the cart when the attrbute does
    not exist as an attribute?

    Ie - a varibale attribute cost...

    I think I've done that before, actually. I'm pretty sure that Merchant is
    not real fussy about checking these. If you have a custom module that
    creates some BasketOptions on the fly, they can get passed thru the system
    in more-or-less normal fashion. You might have to create some dummy
    entries in Attributes.d and Options.d ... Sorry I don't recall more
    details, but I'd say it's worth a try.

    It might also be possible to use BasketCharges as pseudo-attributes, if you
    can use the description and other fields to link them to specific items in
    the basket.

    Hope that helps -- Kent

      Try checking with Scott Sebenza from SS, Sebenza Studios.
      I had made some mods to his core Percent Attributes module sometime back
      to do exactly what you describe.
      It was not too difficult, and I might even have the coded module
      somewhere at home I could send you for an example if you purchase it
      from him first...
