Add Items To Cart Programmatically?

[suntower]

Hi,

Though I'm fluent with db and php, I'm no Zen Master so forgive me if this is a 'noob' question.

I was wondering what is involved in adding -multiple- items to the cart from a single page.

IOW: Buyers of product 'A' =usually= buy product 'B' as well... they work well together. It would be -great- if, when the user goes to add Product 'A', we could add 'A' -and- 'B' at the same time from the same 'add' click.

I'm assuming there are classes which govern this, but before I start digging around I figured I'd post here and (hopefully) save some time. Surely many people need to do -something- like this.

Suggestions?

TIA,

---JC

Indeed, many people do need to do something like that. Did you look at Free Software Add Ons (link, top-left on any forum page)? I'm pretty sure you'll find something there, perhaps called Better Together. (That's a hint. ;-) )

Schweet. I wish the Add-Ons section was organised a bit better. Without your hint, I -never- woulda found it.

Thanks,

You can use notifiers to do it too, if its something they must have:

I use it to add an optional (free) part to a product purchase automatically.

Note that Better Together does not actually add "B" to the cart when "A" is added - it simply discounts the combination A+B when they are bought together.
