Buy now button problem

Jeremy Smith · #1 02-25-2009, 07:50 AM

I think I put my post (identical post about buy now button) in the wrong section, moderators please delete my previous post (cant quite remember where it is but if you could remove it please).

Hi,

I was wondering what the code/SMARTY HTML is to put a buy now button (force it to appear) on the multiple products view page?

Just that for some reason we have lost or are unable to activate the buy now button through the proper procedure, how is this acheivable, does anyone know?

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy.

In the admin menu go to general options then to the appearance menu. Look for the box that says "enable buy now button in products lists.

I have just noticed that, in the multi column setup.

On General Settings > Appearance settings and then go down to 'Enable "Buy Now" button in the products list: ' click to enable that is always checked for me as its obvious it needs enabling for this feature to work.

What I didnt realise was that on the following option:

'Display products list in multiple columns (1-3) (leave empty to use standard format):' This must be set to 0 for the buy now button to work.

Is there anyway of making x cart show the buy now feature in the multi column format? Its pritty crucial we do show our products over 3 columns due to other sites selling similar products and all the major competitors are showing evidence of this.

Is there anyway this can work as a multi column format the buy now button please?

Thanks,
Jeremy.

find in your skin1/customer/main/products_t.tpl

Code:

{*** Uncomment it if you need 'Buy Now' button ***
{if $usertype eq "C" and $config.Appearance.buynow_button_enabled eq "Y"}
{include file="customer/main/buy_now.tpl" product=$products[product]}
{/if}
*** Uncomment it if you need 'Buy Now' button ***}

and change to

Code:

{if $usertype eq "C"}
{include file="customer/main/buy_now.tpl" product=$products[product]}
{/if}

Thanks ever so much for that post it worked.

Just need to customise the template to make it look better than it is as it currently would just confuse the user, but thanks again.

Regards,
Jeremy

Hi,
Is this improvement possible?

After clicking "Buy Now" button in the products page (on any product)
> the product gets added to cart,
> a popup announces that the "Product has been added to your Cart" and
> the customer remains in the same page.

Suggestions awaited & thanks in advance..

Hi carpeperdiem,

Thank you for the link, reviewed it. Just something we are looking for. Maybe will go for it.

But is a simpler way possible to be coded where the popup (without links) come? on clicking Buy Now button (the product is added to cart & customer remains in same page.

Await response,

Best Regards,
