Programmatically Adding To the Cart

[sephi2483]

Weird error. I followed the information in this thread, and it worked - but not fully.

If I have a URL of /addtocart.aspx?ProductID=1&VariantID=1&Quantity=1 it works fine. Different quantities, no problem.

However, if I change the ProductID to anything except 1, it goes to the ShoppingCart.aspx page, but no product is added.

The product can be manually added to the cart (through the normal shopping process), but to do it programmatically just doesn't work.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

probably VariantID 1 is not joined to the new ProductID

Partial success.

If I explicitly put the VariantID onto the QueryString, then it works.

However, if I don' t have the variantid, then the Default Variant is not used.

Is there a way to obtain the Default Variant ID based on the Product ID?

Well, odd, it looks like we won't create the default variantid if it's passed in as 0 ( or missing). I think we should , I'll report over to dev.

For now, just pass in the correct VariantID that you want added. thx.

I'm trying to use this method of adding products to the cart from a list view. I get the following error...

The page cannot be displayed

Please try the following:

* Contact the Web site administrator if you believe this directory should allow execute access.

HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.

Is this an SSL issue or a server setting?


This is my code. It's pulling the right data and creating the correct string.

<a href="/addtocart.aspx?productid={aspdnsf:GetMLValue(ProductID)}&amp;variantid={aspdnsf:GetMLValue(VariantID)}">
addToCart</a>

Also, can this be done with the Wish List as well?

[seasonalsin]

What would the syntax be to add multiple parts to the cart. Say 2 of widget a and 3 of widget b? If I a getting this correctly I would only have to return the variant ID as well. Correct?

I have used this code to make an embedded link to add products to the shop without leaving the page. The code used uses php to wrap the values pulled from the database:

	$button = "<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"univisted\" onclick=\"this.className='visited';window.location.href='http://www.canonbury.com/addtocart.aspx?productid=";
   		$button .= $productid;
   		$button .= "&variantid=";
   		$button .= $varid;
   		$button .= "&quantity=";
		$button .= $quantity;
		$button .= "&color=";
   		$button .= "";
   		$button .= $colour;
   		$button .= "&ReturnURL=http://www.canonbury.com/mytest/query2.php&size=";
   		$button .= $size;
   		$button .= "'\">";
   		$button .= "buy now";
   		$button .= "</a>";

The problem is that it once it has added doesn't change colour like a normal link as doesn't 'go anywhere'. I'd be grateful if anyone had any ideas on how to change the colour of the link to show that a product has been added to the cart.

Does anyone know if this same thing could be applied to the Gift or Wishlist?

i am trying to add more than one product to cart from the product details page. Is it possible?

My scenario is like i have one product (one variant). It has 2 colors (red, green) and 3 sizes (small, medium, large). Now i want to add 2 products for red (small), and 1 product for red (large).

I have the source code so i was planning to modify the form for add to cart. Currently it has one Color, one Size and one Quantity fields and when we post this to addtocart.aspx, it adds the product to cart perfectly.
Now, if i create more Size, Color and Quantity fields in that form and then post it to addtocart.aspx. What changes do i have to do to addtocart.aspx so that it handles this multi add request.

Is this the proper way to do this kind of thing? If not then please suggest some workaround.

thanks

Is there any analogous process for StoreFront/DNN? And question 2, can I redirect to another page (show cart page) after adding to cart, and ensure all products for the "user" whose cart I am manipulating in code, are in that cart?


Thanks.
