simple button addition

[Namtaru]

hi, i am having the hardest time adding a button to my shopping cart page.

i would like to place it above the go to checkout button. nothing i do seems to work.

<!--bof shopping cart buttons-->

<?php echo '<a href="http://store.realityshots.org/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=26"><img src="http://store.realityshots.org/store/includes/templates/darkness/buttons/english/button_frame_options.gif" width="178" height="22"/></a>'; ?>

<div class="buttonRow forward">
<?php ...

i can see a flicker of something loading the first time i refreshed, but there is nothing on my shopping cart page. i dont think i have the button added to the right... column or something. im not sure how the layout works, is there some code to tell the button to appear above the others?

well i just found that adding

<a href="http://store.realityshots.org/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=26"><img src="http://store.realityshots.org/store/includes/templates/darkness/buttons/english/button_frame_options.gif" width="178" height="22"/></a>

to the line where you can give shopping cart instructions does the same thing: a quick flicker of the outline where the image is loading, but once the page is done there is nothing there. can someone help me with the proper way of adding this button please....

to the line where you can give shopping cart instructions

Might help if you will expand on what you are attempting -

Like what file and line you are inserting what to - best if you post a couple of existing lines before and after wht you have added and some reference to approx line # and file name.

And what you want this to do as I did not comprehend why your href is a hard code to a c path

the button is a link to a particular product, which happens to be the only one in the category, which is why there is a cpath.

in my original post I clearly explained which file I was working on, and included a snip of code. the follow up post was merely me trying to figure out another way of adding this button to my shopping cart. Originally I was working with shopping_cart.php since I want the button with the other below the items in the cart.

However, when that was not working and no one had responded I made a post about checkout_process.php. However, there was nothing in that post that really needed further explanation.

its simple: i want to add a new button with a link to the shopping cart page. either my code is wrong (very likely) or its been added to the wrong place (not as likely) or its not possible (doubt it).

You better re-read your OP - no posting of any filename...and your snip was only your code &/or not enough to visually determine the filename

either my code is wrong (very likely) or its been added to the wrong place (not as likely) or its not possible (doubt it).

What page is this to be on???

If the first page of the checkout that displays after one adds to cart and above the "checkout" you should be working in a copy of includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default - So in a copy of this to be placed into your template structure -
Find this and add a div and your href+src right after the BOF line that starts this there

<!--bof shopping cart buttons-->
<!--bof My button -->
<div id="your_Div" class="forward">
<a href="http://store.realityshots.org/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=26">
<img src="http://store.realityshots.org/store/includes/templates/darkness/buttons/english/button_frame_options.gif"</a>
</div>
<!--eof My button -->
<br class="clearBoth" />
<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>......
etc, etc, etc
<!--eof shopping cart buttons-->

You will find that in most all cases that display is contained in a tpl_ file and as yours is hard code - php not required - just normal html stuff
