If Customer has items in cart and Admin clicks on item to view... gets blank screen

[shrimp-gumbo-mmmhhh]

This one is easy guys.... I fixed it... you put it into code.... :) Customer has item in cart.... admin views "whos online" clicks customer with active cart.... clicks link .... gets blank area of admin screen.... fix takes to edit product... which I assume is what was supposed to happen. BTW... is there a list of "actions" that can be taken with different cmd's or screens? I kind of thought a action=display_product might have been desired too... but edit is fine except information spread out quite a bit.




>admin > whos_online.php

if ($cart !== null) {
$contents[] = ['text' => $whos_online[$selectedSession]['full_name'] . ' - ' . $cart['customer_ip'] . ' (' . $cart['language_code'] . ')<br>' . $selectedSession];


foreach ($cart['products'] as $product) {
$contents[] = ['text' => $product['quantity'] . ' x ' . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT, 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&pID=' . $product['id']) . '">' . $product['name'] . '</a>'];
}

Change to:

if ($cart !== null) {
$contents[] = ['text' => $whos_online[$selectedSession]['full_name'] . ' - ' . $cart['customer_ip'] . ' (' . $cart['language_code'] . ')<br>' . $selectedSession];


foreach ($cart['products'] as $product) {
$contents[] = ['text' => $product['quantity'] . ' x ' . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT, 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&pID=' . $product['id']) . '&action=new_product' . '">' . $product['name'] . '</a>'];
}

When you click the link for the product, as the storeowner, were you hoping it would take you to the product on the storefront? or is (as your suggested code fix will do) taking you to the product's Edit screen more what you wanted?

My point: maybe an even better fix is to link to the product on the storefront instead?

FYI: To put it back to how it worked before v1.5.7, which was to highlight the product within its category (instead of going into edit mode), the fix would be:

$contents[] = ['text' => $product['quantity'] . ' x ' . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT, 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&pID=' . $product['id']) . '">' . $product['name'] . '</a>'];

becomes

$contents[] = ['text' => $product['quantity'] . ' x ' . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORY_PRODUCT_LISTING, 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&pID=' . $product['id']) . '">' . $product['name'] . '</a>'];

Or to link it to the storefront page, that same line would become:

                  $contents[] = ['text' => $product['quantity'] . ' x ' . '<a href="' . zen_catalog_href_link(zen_get_info_page($product['id']), 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&products_id=' . $product['id'] . '&language=' . $cart['language_code']) . '" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">' . $product['name'] . '</a>'];

That is exactly what I thought it was going to do.... but when I looked into the bones I was thinking you guys had something else in mind. I can see benefits to going to the edit .... you see somebody have something in their cart.... you know that it is sold out but hasn't been marked sold out yet and you can quickly change quantity.... but yes, I thought it was going to take me to a page to view the product.... the admin directory was listed and I have never seen the product viewed from there before .... thanks for checking!

'&products_id=' . $product['id'] . '&language=' . $cart['language_code']) . '" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">' . $product['name'] . '</a>'];

hmmm, I tried the fix with FILENAME_CATEGORY_PRODUCT_LISTING I see 100 different items and do not know which the customer has in the cart. I would say either go to edit.... or to go the websites page.... if I were to vote I guess I would vote for edit with a link on the edit page to the website page!

That settles it - clearly what's needed here is an admin switch to pick the desired behavior. <ducks quickly>

Or multiple links for each product in the shopping cart where no additional configuration switches may be necessary. (e.g. Edit, catalog, category)

We need some polls here to help decide!

To avoid switches, polls, confusion, give all options:

if (!defined('IMAGE_CATEGORY')) define('IMAGE_CATEGORY', 'Category');
                foreach ($cart['products'] as $product) {
                  $contents[] = ['text' => $product['quantity'] . ' x '
                         . ' <a href="' . zen_catalog_href_link(zen_get_info_page($product['id']), 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&products_id=' . $product['id'] . '&language=' . $cart['language_code']) . '" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">'
                         . $product['name']
                         . '</a>'
                         . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT, 'cPath=' . zen_get_product_path($product['id']) . '&pID=' . $product['id'] . '&action=new_product') .

                        ];
