Add Product to Cart URL

Thanks Dr. Byte... it must be so much easier to do this stuff when you know what you're doing.

[quote=Webbo1969;243588]BEWARE: Newbie Zenner!

I have a requirement whereby I wish to minimise the front-end of my shop ...(cut here)...

... Could somebody please advise me if it is possible to simply: (i) add product name, quantity available, price and shipping options to the database ONLY (ii) Turn off all front-end category and product details (iii) Acquire a product URL to add the product to the cart...? ... That's all I need.. but is it simple to do on Zen? If it is and somebody can explain the minimal process required I would be eternally grateful.

Webbo1969: you have a great idea! I saw you have resolved the first req, but haven't seen your answer to the above (2nd) part - Just add product name, quantity, price and shipping info to database ONLY -- cool! Can you post your finding here? thx!

hi,
i am new to zen-cart. need your expertise on this.

i have follow the method that u give:
<form action="http://[your domain name]/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=[your cPath]/&amp;products_id=[your products_id]/&amp;action=add_product" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="cart_quantity" id="cart_quantity">
<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" maxlength="6" size="4" />
<input type="hidden" name="products_id" value="[your products_id]" />
<input name="image" type="image" title=" Add to Cart " src="includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/button_in_cart.gif" alt="Add to Cart" />
</form>

i have change all the neccessary name, and paste this into the Text Editor.
but when i save or update to the database the &amp; was replace with & in the action section as shown below

action="http://[your domain name]/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=[your cPath]/&amp;products_id=[your products_id]/&amp;action=add_product" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="cart_quantity" id="cart_quantity">

hence, it causes the product not added into the shopping cart.

how can i make the changes that the &amp; remains the same.

Please help . Need this urgently.


Thanks ;)

I needed to do the same.

Here's what I did. I went to the product detail page, and looked at the source code.

I copied and pasted the following onto a static page outside of the cart:

<!--bof Form start-->
<form name="cart_quantity" action="http://www.wheeleez.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=1&amp;action=add_pr oduct" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!--eof Form start-->



<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->
<div id="cartAdd">
<p>Quantity in Cart: 1</p>Add to Cart: <input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="1" maxlength="6" size="4" /><br /><br /><input type="hidden" name="products_id" value="1" /><input type="image" src="/cart/includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/button_in_cart.gif" alt="Add to Cart" title=" Add to Cart " /> </div>
<!--eof Add to Cart Box-->

</form>

It seems to work. I'm debugging it right now.
