adding a buy button
 

I've searched the forum but can't find the answer...

I'm trying to add a 'buy now' button, but I can't work out how to call it. I can do the basic include


but it doesn't actually do the add to cart bit. I think I need a href value, but how do I do this?

thanks,

Hey Amy, there is already a buy now button in the products.tpl and product_t.tpl templates...you just need to un-comment it. :)

this isn't for thise templates. It's for a new menu I've created for basic products that will stay the same on each page, but will contain half a dozen or so products that people will hopefully add to their cart, kind of like clip striops in retail I suppose.

Anyway, I've set up an extra table in the database, and I've pulled the thumbnail etc and links to each product, but I wanted to add a buy button too but O'm stuck on the href bit.

I'm not sure if I need to query the database to get this or how to go about it.

The easiest way would be to add a link to the button for example:


Just change the productid to whatever the product is. The good thing is there is no JavaScript involved.
