    Default Update your shopping cart without leaving the products page?

    What I'd love to be able to do is to click the "add to cart" button for a product and have it update the cart sidebox without leaving the page. This way, I could shop for product easily while being able to see everything in my cart.
    Also, is it possible to have a "checkout" button on the cart sidebox so that I can simply click this to proceed to the checkout process?
    I think this is a much clearer way of shopping and one that will be less confusing to the customer.
    Just hoping somebody has done this already and can show me how.
    Thanks for your help,
    Bearaman

    as far as the first thing you said, if you turn off the Go to shopping cart after adding product to cart then it wont switch over to the shopping cart view each time and your cart on the sidebar will update.

    You could just turn this feature on in the Configuration ... My Store ...
    Display Cart After Adding Product
    Display the shopping cart after adding a product (or return back to their origin)

    true
    false
    er ... umm ... yes, what gardengirl said ...

    Default Re: Update your shopping cart without leaving the products page?

    Hi Thanks for the easy answer.

    However, when a customer adds an item, there's no indication that it has been added to the cart. Is there a way to have them see a message somewhere?

    TIA,
    Tatiana

    The message is already built into Zen Cart when you add to cart but are not taken to the shopping_cart ...

    If the define is blank then this will not show ...
    /includes/languages/english.php

    Line #388 : define('SUCCESS_ADDED_TO_CART_PRODUCT', 'Successfully added Product to the cart ...');

    Line #390 : define('SUCCESS_ADDED_TO_CART_PRODUCTS', 'Successfully added selected Product(s) to the cart ...');

    Does this mean you do or don't see them on your site?

    If not, check if you are missing them in your overrides file for languages or switch to Classic Template and see if they show ...

    If they show in Classic and not your template then your template is missing code and/or out of date ...

    Sorry I meant to say that the english.php override has the proper code but there is no message showing when I add to cart, it just adds it without any indication that it;s added.

    I switched to Classic, it's not showing up there either.

    Thx,
    Tat
