Lisa, There is a setting in Pricing called "Total like item quantities and apply discount." When active, all quantities of a particular product will be totaled and priced based on that quantity in pricing. i.e. I add 500 of a widget to my cart, then add 1500 of that same widget (different SKU) and finally add another 500 of the widget (different SKU). Total quantity ordered is 2500, so that is the pricing used for the batch of widgets.

TBald First things first, your data source must also include the fields exactly as they appear in the original document/template. It sounds as if you want he variable frames imported into the other document. If so, follow the steps below: 1) In the new document, go to FusionPro > Advanced > Import 2) Navigate to the original template and select 3) Select Variable Layout (or anything else you want imported) 4) Click OK If you just want to copy the fields from one to the other use the standard copy/paste functionality: Copy = Ctrl + C (PC) or Command + C (Mac) Paste = Ctrl + V (PC) or Command + V (Mac) Hope this helps

PrintNW I'm not aware of any way to get the number of pages, be it fixed or variable, to display as text in the form for MarcomCentral. If you had a field where the user selected the page count, this could be used.

Miker, There are two ways to achieve this; First, there is a setting in Groups to Hide Pricing, which hides the grid and all $$. However, this affects all Products, even ones where there is a Price (not $0.00). If you are trying to hide it for select Products, you need to target the grip in the CSS. You can do this using a code inspector (right click and get the ID or class), target it with CSS and change the visibility to hidden or none. Since HTML/CSS are open source languages, you can find lots of resources on how to do this online. In addition, here is a link to the current Portal Customization Guide Hope this helps

Matt, Unfortunately, this is the case whenever you apply UI Rules to a Field associated to a JavaScript rule.

Eric, I'm not aware of any way to accomplish it. If the value does not appear in a form field, it cannot be applied to the SKU or Description.

Jimmy, You can edit the CSS for the Portal to further modify the UI. If you would like to see screen shots of Portals, contact your BRM, they will most likely have a few to share. Here is the current guide: Portal Customization Guide Hope this helps

daniel, No there is no way to add this to the SKU, as the name of the saved content is not part of the information applied to the form.

Ryan, This is something you should have reviewed by MarcomCentral support. Make sure you include the Portal name or ID, as well as the Product name or ID.

Matt, Unfortunately there is not. Even when you rotate a page in Acrobat, FusionPro un-rotates it when it composes. The best way to handle it is to have both options in the template (landscape and portrait). It is important to emphasize that you cannot just rotate the page in Acrobat, assuming your design comes from InDesign, setup each page with the appropriate orientation there (would also work from what ever source you start from), then export it out. Next in Acrobat/FusionPro use an OnRecordStart "Callback" rule to suppress the unused page. You will need a value in the data to identify which orientation should be suppressed in composition. ie: Orientation = "portrait" or "landscape". Click here to see a thread indicating how to suppress a page. There are several threads on the page activation/suppression topic, the one above shows the basics of the function. Hope this helps

Miguel, It looks to be specific to those letters. The overlap is occurring on what looks to be an "N" because of the size of the image character. The opposite would apply to the "Y", as it is too narrow and the gap occurs after the image character. You could trim the wide image to be narrower and stretch or adjust the narrow one to be wider. You can do this by exporting out the image characters adjusting and replacing. Image characters use the font that is applied to the Expression to apply the letter spacing. Therefore, when you apply an odd sized image character the same spacing is applied, which does not always have the best result. With regards to #3 I'm not sure I completely understand, from the sample image. It does not look cut off to me. Also, if you can provide the name of the Expression, I can also try to test it out as well. let me know

ICGroup, Yes, you can set up "Coupon codes" for a free product. However, since you only want each user to be able to use it one time, each user would need a unique Coupon Code. This would require that you assign them to each User, therefore Users would not be able to self register for the portal. What you could do is set the coupon code as their User ID, so when you create each User, you instruct them to use their ID as the coupon/promo code for the free Product. The User's would still be active, but assuming they are not able to order anything else, there would be no harm. For activation or more information contact your BRM.

daniel, You can add a format control for the frame via OnRecordStart, then using either a radio button or a drop-down list in the form, you can let the user select the alignment. First off, you need a field for the "Align" options (top, center or bottom). Then you also need to name your variable frame in FP. Next insert the text value into the frame. Finally you create your OnRecordStart rule as follows: var frame1 = FindTextFrame("Text Box A"); frame1.verticalAlignment = Field("Align"); In template setup, create your list for the Align field and voila! Hope this helps

Ryan, I would assume you still working in the Manager, by the link to the document. If this is the case, the document may be old, but it is still relevant as is the info in the Help. We have not made any significant updates to the Manager, especially as it relates to Discounts. If you are in the MarcomCentral Admin, the way discounts are setup is basically the same, but obviously the UI is very different. What specifically is your question and/or what are you trying to accomplish?

if you want it to return the current date use the following return FormatDate(Today(), 'lm d, yyyy');

No, the locale choice only controls the translation of the standard text in a Portal. To manage this in one template, use a variable field for the user to select to activate activate a page or a resource that uses the respective language/font.

daniel, No FusionPro or MarcomCentral will not translate a template for you. If you want a template to be in English and Chinese, you will need a variable to be used to activate a page or resource in the document or design 2 different templates and show only the respective language to that respective group.

mmorse, You need to add a format field on the Form Display tab in the MCC. The Font Color Format Field will allow you to offer all colors embedded in the PDF or colors added from a Library.

daniel, You need to create a text field to the data source that will be used to control the font size (this will be setup as the drop down [DD] in MarcomCentral). Next you need to create a rule to return the font size tag, which applies the field choice in the field above - it is critical that the "Treat return strings as tagged text" box is checked. Now depending on the DD having the numeric values or the small, medium , large values, you have a couple options (see below): Option A - uses size values as numbers: return '<z new size="'+Field("Font Size")+'">'+Field("Headline"); Option B - uses size vales as S, M L: var newSize = ""; if (Field("Font Size") == "Small") newSize = "14"; if (Field("Font Size") == "Medium") newSize = "20"; if (Field("Font Size") == "Large") newSize = "24"; return '<z new size="'+newSize+'">'+Field("Headline"); Hope this helps

Johnw, There is no way to assign either the input or selected address used to version the Product as the Ship To address. You are correct that a "My Address" created by the user or a "Corporate Address" are the only options to be able to populate both the template and the Ship To address. However, it will not be defined automatically upon using it for the versioned item, they would still need to select that address during checkout.

Christine, Yes this can be done. However, I'm only aware of this functionality associated to a custom copy for a folder on the Navigation Bar in the Catalog. See the image below: http://screencast.com/t/EmujEu0Ilz Here is the code: Hope this helps

eliggins, Below are a couple threads that goes over external data files (XDF): http://forums.printable.com/showthread.php?t=3937 http://forums.pti.com/showthread.php?t=3389 Once you get the basics for how to look up and find your store number value (matching that from the input data to the XDF), all you need to do is create variables to display the corresponding column's values for that record.

jprothero, Locales do translate standard MarcomCentral terminology. It does not translate the things the admin creates: Product names, description, folder names etc... In most cases, you would build a German and English version of each Product (assuming the content on the Product is language specific); then you would create a Group for each language so Users in that Group only see those respective Products. User's can have the default language locale assigned or they can select it. One of the benefits is that you can have a different user experience (UI) variations for each active locale; so German can have a German banner and English a different one. Locale has no affect on the URL. Hope this helps.

Here is a thread with this same subject. http://forums.printable.com/showthread.php?t=575

DWilliams, There are 2 ways this can be addressed: 1) Use Text inset on the Text frame, although with this option the inset value is symmetrical, so it will also inset on the right edge of the frame as well. 2) Add another frame which is empty. Then set it to the edge of where the text is to be "padded", but that frame is only used for that padded space of the text frame. Hope this helps
