Hi,

I have enabled buy now / add to wishlist on the product list pages which include recommended products areas too.

Please visit http://www.littlebitgreen.com/home.php to view (hopefully launching this coming week).

The buttons don't seem to trigger any action. The buttons do work when you are in the product details page. Is this a javascript problem?

Here is an example of the buttons from the homepage that do not work:

 
<form method="post" action="cart.php?mode=add">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="productid" value="16356" />
<input type="hidden" name="cat" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="" />
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
 <td width="20%" class="BuyNowQuantity">Quantity</td>
 <td> 
<select name="amount">
 <option value="1">1</option>
 <option value="2">2</option>
</select>
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="BuyNowPrices" colspan="2">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="add" />
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td colspan="2">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
 <td><a class="button" href="javascript: document.orderform_16356_1226352918.submit(); return false;" onclick="javascript: document.orderform_16356_1226352918.submit(); return false;;this.blur();return false;" ><span>Buy Now</span></a>
</td>
 <td style="padding-left: 20px;">
               <a class="button" href="javascript:document.orderform_16356_1226352918.mode.value='add2wl'; document.orderform_16356_1226352918.submit()" onclick="javascript:document.orderform_16356_1226352918.mode.value='add2wl'; document.orderform_16356_1226352918.submit();this.blur();return false;" ><span>Add to wish list</span></a>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>

Any thoughts or solutions?

Thanks
AF

p.s. sorry for the double post in another section but I did not receive any responses.

By any chance did you implement the "Easy 2 image css button.tpl replacement" modification - http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=39357 ? It appears to have "issues".

[aferg]

No I did not but I am using a few mods from xcartmods.co.uk which include:
X-Cart CSS Template v4.1.11 Gold
X-Cart 3 Level Advanced Dynamic Category Menu
X-Cart Ultimate Speedbar Menu v4.x

I tried contacting Phil on this issue but received no reply.

It is probably best to wait and see what Phil has to say about this.

One thing I did notice visiting your site (using Firefox) is that your "buttons" are not buttons at all. What I saw was similar to the images connected with the mod at http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=39357 where it appears as a "button and a quarter" (a full button in a light color with a left end of a button in a darker color), which made me wonder if you had that mod done.

Hi, I appreciate you are not asking for general feedback but I couldnt help noticing that your domain name was different to your site name... I think this is confusing. Lovely artwork though.

I know you probly want the layout same as it is now but try going to admin/apperance options/displaying products and select change display products list in a single column, to 1 , but it looks that it is a java script problem

In skin1/customer/main/buy_now.tpl

Add...

name="orderform_{$product.productid}_{$product.add_date}"

To the <form> tag... then the buttons will function.

eg.

<form name="orderform_{$product.productid}_{$product.add_date}" method="post" action="{if $product.is_product_options eq 'Y' && !$buynow_enabled}product.php?productid={$product.productid}{else}cart.php?mode=add{/if}">

As for the button styling, you've changed the doctype to transitional, which might affect the appearance. I think more urgent, is the layout doesn't look correct in IE6.

yep in IE6 I think the png fix is having an issue. I can see the site load properly when I have cleared the cache and the page loads from scratch and then it bounces into an ugly mess. I think this is when the png fix is applied.

update: ouch! turned off the png fix but it still is very nasty...I will look into the doc type.

update: I just realized I didn't include my ie6 styles so it is look much better. The png fix still cause issues though so I turned it off for now and of course now the png rendering problem is present.

Well,

Out of no where it seems our buy it now button isn't doing anything either. I found this post and checked to see if we had the code you suggested and ... we do. So, I guess my question is, do you have any other suggestions on what I might check to see if it's not right?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Phil,

The buy now button works now(help much appreciated) but I am still having problems with the Add to Wishlist. When not signed in the button should take you to the register page(from what I remember).

However now it takes you to a page basic html page that says: Sorry, the shop is inaccessible temporarily. Please try again later.

That address of the page is also:http://www.littlebitgreen.com/error_message.php?need_login

Any ideas?

Thanks
AF
