Copy a NQV to make slight change?

[Mr Questions!]

In my catalog i have products priced per unit and per metre length.

How do I create a copy of the NQV:PRODUCTQUANTITY which I can edit so that the text reads "Length per metre" instead of "Quantity".

I would then call it NQV:PRODUCTLENGTH and substitute it in the Act_ProductLine for the products this was relevant to.

Hope this is understandable!

i dont know the exact number in the damn thing, but have you tried looking in:

design > text

this is where actinic keeps some hardcoded values not immidiately available in the templates.

[Mr Questions!]

I know which line in the Design/Text is needed to change the wording but I want to have BOTH available for the site - some pages will say "Quantity:", others will say "Length:".

I (think) I need to create a NQV which is almost identical to the NQV:PRODUCTQUANTITY, then edit it. I then use different templates for different products - one called ProductLine, one called ProductLineLength.

Don't know if I'm making much sense.

A quick fix may be to remove the "Quantity:" from the design text and hard code it into the template.

i.e. You would have one product template with Quantity: and another with Length: which you could alter simply by changing templates for the product?

Not tested so I would double check if the original "quantity" in design text is used elsewhere and required elsewhere.
Just a thought

Thanks, this last solution works fine. I probably would have thought of it had it not been 5pm on Friday!
