What is the deal with Extra Fields?
The idea that I had when I initally heard of extra field was that you could use them to make extra fields that are not covered in the base line setup of xcart..

But how in the world do you use these things?

I made an extra field. Specs:

now what tag do I use to have that extra field show up in the product.tpl file?

{param00}
nope
{Spec:Extrafield}
nope

the manual brushes over this topic and only tells you how to add them the product entry page..

and if I get into the modules/ExtraFields/product.tpl it does not make any sense...

Also any html data I enter into an Extra Fields field is cleared upon submitting. How do I keep this from happening?

help!

thank you
