Editing cart contents -- esp products with attributes

[justinhunt]

Hi mkopecky

The thing is that there is really no problem with edit cart. The problem is with the way the SEO mods, make their urls.

On our kuroobiya site, here is a link to the product page for a karate uniform:
http://kuroobiya.com/shop/index.php?...products_id=48

Now if we set some attributes and head off to the shopping cart page, the link to return to the product info page looks like this:
http://kuroobiya.com/shop/index.php?...1c580eb95c0d1b

The trailing string at the end, on the second link, contains the information about the attributes that were selected. This is all standard zencart, there are no modifications here.

So if you want to modify the attributes you selected you click on the link in the shopping cart and head back to the product info page. Editcart doesn't change this either. Only once you get to the productinfo page, Editcart looks for the trailing string and turns the page into an Edit page (as opposed to an add page).

BUT the SEO mods remove the trailing string, so it is not there.
You can see this even without editcart. In standard zen cart the attributes previously selected , say size, color, will be selected on the return to the product info page from clicking on the shopping cart link. ( But in standard zen cart of course there is no edit button, only an add button on that page). However if you use an SEO mod none of the pre selected attributes will be selected in the product info page on the return there. That information just gets thrown away.

The solution I proposed earlier was to change the tpl_shopping_cart_default.php template file so that the links generated there do not go through the SEO mod, but are produced like standard zen cart links. This would work, but you need to do some coding.

I honestly do not have time to just do that from the goodness of my heart, I moved on long ago, and am working on other things now that take up most of my time. But I know that some people need this functionality. So if someone who can code, can get in there and do it, I would be grateful.

Otherwise if I am to do it, well I will just have to put out my hand and say PM me.

I hope that I have explained the problem ok. If it is still unclear, please let me know. Good luck
