Add Checkout button to product page

[schoolboy]

Actually, while this can be done, there is no logic to it.

The Product Info page is there to ADD a product to a cart. If you also have a button that goes to checkout, then your shoppers could go to checkout "by accident", and before they have a chance to ADD the product they are currently viewing...

They will be offered TWO buttons. Either they:-

1. ADD the product on display to the cart, OR
2. Don't add it - but go to checkout

You would do better to invoke the shopping cart sidebox and put some buttons in there. I have done this, with the sidebox to show ONLY when there is something in the cart, and ONLY when not on the shopping cart main page.

GO HERE and add the product you see to the cart, then look at the top left column.

Tell me if this is a better idea.

If you are determined to have the button on the INFO page (which I think is a bad idea) then the following code in tpl_product_info_display.php may be what you are after:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>    
<div id="checkoutOnInfoPage"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
<?php
 }
?>

The above DIV is given a style ID of checkoutOnInfoPage, allowing you set a style in the CSS.

Yes! Your site with sidebox will work! I am using the Shopping cart sidebox. It does not have edit cart button. How did you add code to your sidebox?

You have really nice site! I like way it is lay out and colors.

This is a quick and easy "hack" that you can use to put the buttons into the shopping cart sidebox.

Steps:

1. create TWO small image buttons called button_edit_cart.gif and button_checkout_sm.gif
.

If you like, you can COPY those little images off my site's sidebox using these URL's:

http://www.modshops.co.uk/demoshop/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/button_edit_cart.gif

and

http://www.modshops.co.uk/demoshop/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/button_checkout_sm.gif

2. SAVE those images to: includes/templates/kim/buttons/english/

3. Open the following file for editing:

includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_shopping_cart.php

right at the bottom you will see:

  $content .= '</div>';
?> 

Just underneath the $content .='</div>';

add this:

  $content .= '<div id="checkoutButton"><center><a href="index.php?main_page=shopping_cart"><img src="includes/templates/kim/buttons/english/button_edit_cart.gif" alt="Edit Cart" title=" Edit Cart " width="61" height="20" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping"><img src="includes/templates/kim/buttons/english/button_checkout_sm.gif" alt="Checkout" title=" Checkout " width="61" height="20" /></a></center></div>'; 

... so you get:

   $content .= '</div>';
  $content .= '<div id="checkoutButton"><center><a href="index.php?main_page=shopping_cart"><img src="includes/templates/kim/buttons/english/button_edit_cart.gif" alt="Edit Cart" title=" Edit Cart " width="61" height="20" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping"><img src="includes/templates/kim/buttons/english/button_checkout_sm.gif" alt="Checkout" title=" Checkout " width="61" height="20" /></a></center></div>';
  ?> 

You should actually SAVE this to your custom template system (kim), so you have it in...

includes/templates/kim/sideboxes/tpl_shopping_cart.php

Thank you! Thank you! It looks so much better!
