Show attributes in shopping cart sidebox?

[HTsean]

Attributes are displayed as bullet tabs when viewed from the shopping cart, but are not displayed in the shopping cart sidebox. Would it be possible to add code to the tpl_shopping_cart.php file to display product attributes in the shopping cart sidebox?

Ht,
check out this thread on your poblem.

Thank you for that post, I think I may have found what I was looking for in that thread. In order to add model numbers to the shopping cart sidebox, you would find this code:

$content .= $products[$i]['name'] . '</span></a></li>' . "\n"; 

and replace to this:

$content .= $products[$i]['name'] . ' (' . $products[$i]['model'] . ')</span></a></li>' . "\n"; 

It seems like all I would have to do was find the variable for product attributes and add it on like $products[$i]['attributes']. Anyone know?

bump.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get user-picked attributes to display in the shopping cart sidebox. Similar to the style that attributes display in the normal shopping cart.

thx for the response haredo, the question sounds about the same, which is that i want the product's chosen attributes to appear next to the product name in the shopping cart sidebox.

kobra's answer didn't explain how to display a product's attributes along with the product in the shopping cart sidebox, like it does in the normal shopping cart, though. For example:

Brown Jacket
-XL
-w/ hood

but in the shopping cart sidebox, it will display as:

1 ea.- Brown Jacket

with no viewable attributes. I would like it to display in the sidebox as:

1 ea.- Brown Jacket
-XL
-w/ hood

i'll pay someone to code this for me if the price is reasonable.. if i don't get this done, i'm gonna get canned.

I think it would be a great addition to the downloads section too.

I would like this feature too.

It would be great if it would update after each attribute was selected.

For example, if I were selling t-shirts... when the user clicked a radio button to select the size, it would show that attribute in the sidebar. When they selected a color, the sidebar would update, and so on.

Thanks everyone. I just joined this site and I love it!

I think I've got it!
I've got my cart showing the option values in the shoppingcart sidebox.

Edit includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_shopping_cart.php

Line 34, replace:

$content .= $products[$i]['name'] . '</span></a></li>' . "\n";

With:

$content .= $products[$i]['model'] . '</span></a>';	//or $products[$i]['name']   
// BOF Display Attributes //	   
  if (isset($products[$i]['attributes']) && is_array($products[$i]['attributes'])) {
    reset($products[$i]['attributes']);	
    foreach ($products[$i]['attributes'] as $option => $value) {
        while (list($option, $value) = each($products[$i]['attributes'])) {
          $attributes_query = "select popt.products_options_name, poval.products_options_values_name,
                                          pa.options_values_price, pa.price_prefix
                                   from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt,
                                        " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES . " poval,
                                        " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " pa
                                   where pa.products_id = '" . (int)$products[$i]['id'] . "'
                                   and pa.options_id = '" . (int)$option . "'
                                   and pa.options_id = popt.products_options_id
                                   and pa.options_values_id = '" . (int)$value . "'
                                   and pa.options_values_id = poval.products_options_values_id
                                   and popt.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
                                   and poval.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'";

          $attributes = $db->Execute($attributes_query);

          $content .= ','. $attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'];  
		  }    
     }
  }
// EOF Display Attributes //	  
	  $content .= '</li>' . "\n";

I'm not a programmer so there may be a more elegant solution but it works and I'm happy.
