Hi guys,
ok, so I KNOW this has to be the wrong category to put this post under, but I couldn't decide where it belonged
Funkydunk, please move it as you see fit.
I have a client who wants to use X-Cart. Nothing wrong with that, the problem starts the he wants to add items to the cart via an imagemap OUSIDE the store.
Basically, he has a parts catalog with a diagram of the part. When a user clicks on the part, it takes him to the order page, fills in a quantity, and then retuns back to the diagram. There are muliple diagrams (look at
http://www.ronlund.com/nova.htm as an example). Basically, each of those graphics, he will make an imagemap and link back to the store.
Currently they suggest people open two browsers, one for the plans, and one for the store. Will this work? Is there an easier way?
I know I could do something like:
/customer/cart.php?productid=whatever&amount=1
but will this work for his needs? He would enter that link on one page, then open a new window with the x-cart for the order. What happens if the client CLOSES that new window?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
