Help Query - How can I clone a Cart to have a different set of items?

[rarpsl]

I presume you will want the dealers cart link from the Dealers Room page, and the art show cart link from the Art Show page?

When you go to any of those categories, there will be no way to get to the others without actually entering the URL in the address bar; this should be good for your purpose.

BTW, I noticed some invalid HTML (broken code)

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="contentMainWrapper">
  <tr>

 <td id="navColumnOne" class="columnLeft" style="width: 150px">
<div id="navColumnOneWrapper" <style="width: 150px"></div></td>
    <td
<!-- bof upload alerts -->

<!-- eof upload alerts -->

These tags are left open, due to some prior editing, possibly in tpl_main_page.php, or maybe column_left.php?

Actually, this
<div id="navColumnOneWrapper" <style="width: 150px">
is supposed to be one div tag. Somebody inserted a < before the style attribute.
<div id="navColumnOneWrapper" style="width: 150px">

Thanks for pointing out the coding error. I will look at the two scripts and fix it.

You don't actually need to change those admin settings or the existing link to member registration. The new direct page links will work fine with the existing settings left as is, and not having the parameters in the URL for the one link is nice (though not really important).

Though if it matters, with the existing settings, the dealers and art show categories will have the home link that goes to the member registration page. This might actually be desirable, as dealers etc. need to be members as well.

I did not plan to update the admin settings since, as you noted, just using the extended URL works.

Since I am going to do this for the other two carts, I might as well add it to registration also to be consistent. The actual request for that page is done via sub-domain call (which under the covers maps back to the zencart directory). The location bar shows the sub-domain address not the main domain with the zencart directory.

As to registration, each of the two extra categories will have a registration item so that I can use the comment box to remind them that a registration is required (at least for Dealers and their staff - Artists are optional since they can mail in their art for display but not attend).
