Lewis,
Re: CD signup scripting
From: Ron Lockard

Time: 8:29:04 pm
I've generated the code for OptiSkin to request the user pick the phone
number from the phone list within Optigold, but I don't know how to get
Optigold to return the phone number back for use in the .ins file. I
was going for a signup process exactly as in the standard CD signup
pages, but I'm stuck at the point of getting the phone number back from
Optigold. If I can get over that hurdle the ISPWizrd configuration can
be completely automated as you know.
I too plan to simply have the use select the number themselves as that
seems the most reasonable. I don't want to get into a case of selecting
it for them and then having them complain that it wasn't local. If I
can get my method working I'll be glad to share the code also I just
need a little help from Shawn on how to get the phone number back.
