Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Can you be more specific? Thanks

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I'm having the same problem. I wonder if adding something like "$main eq "featured" to the code "{if $main eq "product" || $main eq "search" || $main eq "products" || $main eq "catalog"}" would have any effect.

It seems to work fine on the product page, but there are problems in the "categories" and "featured products" areas.

Also, the links ("checkout", "continue shopping, etc.) at the bottom of the popup seem to need a little padding at the bottom, they are right against the bottom of the frame. Where would I adjust this?

Also, some else mentioned adding "return false" for the continue shopping link so the page does not refresh and go to the home page. Where and how would this be done?

Thanks!

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Is this mod no longer available? The demo links no longer work for me. Anyone have any screenshots or demo I can take a look at?

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

check post #12

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

OK.. I made some changes and now it works sweeeeet!

Added $main eq "featured" to the list of "pages" to fix the problem of it working sometimes and sometimes not, and modified the instructions. The attached file is for version 4.4.x (tested on 4.4.3).

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Hi JWait,

Having installed your version on (4.4.2) I find I still have the same problems as before.

The alert doesn't work on the manufacturers pages even if I add a test for $main eq "manufacturer_products" in the page list. The add to cart button just hangs on the 'added' label, even though the item is indeed added.

It also doesn't work on category pages where there is a featured item at the top of the page. It works fine for those featured products, but not on the category products themselves. I get the same hanging on the add to cart button, and no alert (except on the featured products at the top).

Do you have any thoughts on why this might be happening, or how to overcome it?

Changing the return from true to false is great. Thanks for clearing that up.

Cheers

Welly

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I just did a test and "$main = catalog" everywhere except for the actual product page and on the manufacturer's page (where "$main = manufacturer_products" . I think the main problem is in the "if $main eq", like maybe it should be checking for something else instead of $main.... "if product is available" maybe. Its not my mod so I really don't know.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

For the list of products pages not working - if you have same product listed as category product and featured product on the same page that may be the reason for the mod not working; it gets more then one reference to same product and doesn't know which one to use

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

It only seems to affect the pages that have both "featured" and "normal" products, regardless of whether the same product is there twice, at least as far as I can tell, I don't have any like that at the moment.

Strangely, I added the mod discussed here http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=56298 and it works for those products as well, even though they are on the home page along with "featured" products, but it doesn't work with the "featured" products there. This leads me to believe there is something about the featured products that it doesn't like.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I think I have figured out why the alert doesn't work on the manufacturer pages.

I assumed that adding the condition '$main eq "manufacturer_products"' to the list of conditions in the skin/common_files/customer/service_css.tpl file would be enough, but obviously it wasn't.

I've been looking at this again today, and it seems that similar conditions also exist in skin/common_files/modules/Cart_Alert/cart_alert.tpl, and therefore if you add the manufacturer_products condition to service_css.tpl then you must also add it to cart_alert.tpl. Otherwise, the add to cart process calls a function that never gets defined, which in turn stops the inventory from updating as it should.

There are 2 condition statements in cart_alert.tpl, and manufacturer_products needs to be added to the second one.

Alas, it doesn't help the problem with pages that have featured products at the top, but it is an improvement nonetheless.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I haven't tested this exhaustively, but I think I have the alert working on category pages with featured products.

Step two of the installation suggests adding the following lines to service_head.tpl or service_css.tpl (depending on which iteration of the mod you install):

{if $main eq "product" || $main eq "search" || $main eq "products" || $main eq "catalog"}
<link href="{$SkinDir}/modules/Cart_Alert/css/shadowbox.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="{$SkinDir}/modules/Cart_Alert/shadowbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
{include file="modules/Cart_Alert/cart_alert.tpl"}
{/if}

(note that in the above, the extra condition I've added for the manufacturer list is missing as it is a cut-n-paste from the installation txt file only).

I have added these lines to the top of the skin/common_files/customer/main/products_list.tpl file, and in the service_head.tpl file I have changed the first line of the above snippet to read:

{if $main eq "product"}

It seems to work on the store I'm building at the moment, but please take the usual precautions if you try it on yours just in case I've broken something without knowing (yet).

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Works great JWait great job. Works great on 4.4.3.

Thank you.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Just wondered if there is anyway way to make the pop up just stay on for a few seconds and then disappear just to show customer item was added to cart

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Man, I have this mod working, but it WILL NOT display my upsell products for anything... It always displays the next three products in line after the one I choose. Any suggestions anyone?
EDIT**
Actually, its always displaying the first three products from that category, really odd. I have entered products into related products inside the admin panel...this is really starting to get to me.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I just downloaded this and attempted to install. I am running the Ability Template from xcartmods.co.uk. I do not get a popup at all. Any suggestions?

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

check for any javascript errors in firefox/firebug

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I do not see any errors??

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

If you are using ability, make sure any files that need to be changed are also change in the ability folder

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I think that is my problem. I am not sure of all what files need to be edited. Guess I need to wait for Phil to respond or someone who has this mod working on Ability. What files of your Smart Template did you have to edit? I am sure Smart and Ability are pretty close.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

you have unterminated string literal js errors being generated.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Thanks for pointing this out. I am just not sure of how to get this mod to work with the Ability Template.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

It shouldn't have anything todo with the template.
It generally happens when your products have 's in the name.
try replacing your cart_alert.tpl with the following (strips out any ' from the product for the alert)


{if $main eq "product"}

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
function Cart_Alert_Product_{/literal}{$product.productid}{literal}() {

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

The change has been made but still does not work.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I'm still seeing the js errors - have you cleared your website's cache?
Also, make sure that the javascript code is on one line (line wrap is fine, but new lines will break it)

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Here is the javascript code

// Widget :: change state to Added
ajax.widgets.add2cart.obj.prototype.doAddedState = function() {
this.button.addClass('do-add2cart-success');

this._freezeBox();

if (this.savedData.box)
this.savedData.box.html(lbl_added);

// Added to Cart Alert Start
window['Cart_Alert_Product_' + this.productid]();
// Added to Cart Alert End

return true;
}

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

The js errors have todo with the 'content' part of the Shadowbox.open()

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

This mod has me stumped. Phil or Steve.. You out there?

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

If you have ' or " or ; or & in product names, descriptions or images alt text this will break the code unless you escape them

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I do not believe I have ' or " or ; or & in product names, descriptions or images alt text but to be safe how do I find out and how do I escape them?

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

The js code above (#62) that starts with Shadowbox.open needs to be on one line.
The newline char is breaking the string (starts with ')

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Seems like the code is escaped but can't tell you much without seeing it in action. You use "|escape" to escape special characters, you can use "|escape:'alt'" or "|escape:'html'"

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Steve, I can give you ftp access if you would like?

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

somehow the js code is getting broken up on multiple lines.
I'm attaching screenshots of working code, the working source code and the source code from buckeye.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

bitofeverything - Thank you for all your help. I am not sure how to fix this issue though.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

something is placing the javascript code across multiple lines.
The code in the cart_alert.tpl should look like the 1st screenshot.
If your code looks like that, then look at the product_thumbnail.tpl as the newline braeks are happening directly after the image tag

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I do not see where it has line breaks in my code.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

I've attached a copy of the cart_alert.tpl that I use.
The only other thing that I can suggest is taking the code apart piece by piece.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Which site is this for? Is the code on the site?

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

The site is http://www.BuckeyeFanApparel.com

The code is currently active. I could grant you access to ftp if you would like Steve.

Re: 'Add to Cart' Alert Message
 

Yes you have line breaks in the code which will break the js script. Everything between

Shadowbox.open(

and

',height:420,width:600});}

has to be one line, you can have empty space between tags but no line breaks
