X-Cart forums

[kryten]

Hi,

I use xcart only as a back end shopping cart and only use the generated html links for the add to cart buttons on my website. What I am trying to do is to create a one line html link that will add a product to the cart with a particular product option pre-selected, so that when the customer clicks the link 1 item is added to the cart with option 1, 2 or 3 already selected.

Below is the form that is generated by xcart but I just want a simple html link.

Thank you

<form name="orderform_16291" method="post" action="http://www.hollywood-collectibles.com/store/cart.php">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="add" />

You can use the following link as a sample:

http://www.hollywood-collectibles.com/store/cart.php?mode=add&productid=16291&product_options[448]=4139&amount=2

Thanks Alex.

Is there a similar method for an add-to-cart link when the product is 0 price, that is, the price would be entered by the customer? (in 4.4.2)

I would like to have an add to cart link where I can set a few other options, and provide an initial donation amount.

Something that would have the effect of:
cart.php?mode=add&productid=1&price=100&product_op tions[5]=9

If I can't set the price, it detects the cart as empty

Yes, this is possible.

Please have a look at the following sample URL:

http://.../4.4.x/cart.php?mode=add&productid=17517&product_options[444]=4129&product_options[445]=4130&product_options[446]=Custom%20text&product_options[447]=Text%20area%20text&amount=1&price=100

Thanks for that Alex. It appears the price needs to be last in the URL for it work properly.

Any chance that product.php can also GET product options from the URL to pre-fill options on the product page, or is this feature only built into cart.php?

Turns out the add-to-cart won't help for what I need. I have to have a few options already selected, and have the amount open for the user to fill in a donation. When I direct them to the cart with a set price - they unfortunately don't have a way to update the price inside the cart once it is set. If this is not available for product.php - I see from the Generate Links that you do provide a form I can use to have the options set and have them fill out the price.

It is supported for the cart.php script only.

But it can be custom programmed if required.

The first option I guess will be changing the cart templates for the customers to be able to change the price for zero-priced products.
