Add product to Cart URL?

I had Zencart 1.3.8a with a jquery code that throw to "index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=910&action=add_product" a post form with all the variables and text attributes and the shopping cart recieved the data and added it correctly.

Now I'm trying to migrate to Zencart 1.5.1 and I've modified the jquery code with the securityToken, something that before wasn't needed, to do the same add a product through URL "index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=910&number_of_uploads=0&action=add_product".
But now it doesn't work the variables are sent, but the shopping cart tells that there's no product in the basket.

And the question are: Can be done what I'm trying in Zencart 1.5.1?
I'm using these fields of the form:
<input type="hidden" name="securityToken" value="444444"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[TEXT_PREFIX9]" value="Text"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[TEXT_PREFIX5]" value="_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[6]" value="22"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[8]" value="68"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[7]" value="67"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="products_id" value="286"></input>

Am I missing any field?

Not a field, but rather a active session I think... without an active session and cookie set things cannot be added to the cart.

Someone (kuroi or DrByte, I forget) posted code a year or two ago that does exactly that, open Zen Cart with a specific product in the cart, so it should be possible.

@gjh42 I thing you are pointing to this threat: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?96315-Automatically-Add-Products-to-the-cart-via-URL/page2
I've read and using the info in it but it doesn't work in ZC 1.5.1.

@mprough You're right. If I take the security token generated by ZC 1.5.1 of a product, and I paste it in a form of a HTML file like this:

<form action="http://localhost:8888/zc15/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=910&number_of_uploads=0&action=add_product" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="cart_quantity" id="cart_quantity">
<input type="hidden" name="securityToken" value="6f64e3a15e24fa6d55e1813bc6cf99ec"></input>	
<input type="hidden" name="id[TEXT_PREFIX9]" value="Text"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[TEXT_PREFIX5]" value="_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[6]" value="22"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[8]" value="68"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="id[7]" value="67"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="products_id" value="910"></input>

<input name="" type="submit" value="submit"></input>

If I submit that form after pasted the security token in the same browser, ZC 1.5.1 take the product and add it to the cart perfectly.

The problem is related to the relationship between the security token and the cookie.

All right!

Problem solved. I was passing more attributes to ZC 1.5.1 than the attributes the product has.

Solution was:

Include with the ZC 1.5.1 function

zen_draw_hidden_field('securityToken', $_SESSION['securityToken'])
``` the value of securityToken in the form.

<input name="" type="submit" value="submit"></input>

Make sure you send the correct attributes of the product.

Think, that using the securityToken you can embed swf that send product to the cart.

Enjoy!

THREAT SOLVED!!

... or you could have created the form using the function zen_draw_form and it would have added the hidden field for the securityToken as part of its processing.

That's true!

SOLVED!

Maybe my question does not really need a thread of it's own so here goes. I have all my videos and images in the original product id name. I need to match it all in order to automatically program to present the proper images and videos on my product_info_page. I have to make an if statement to see if the video file actually exists and if it does, substitute the produce id which is actually the model number for the file name, then elseif make a statement about no video available if none exists.

How can I get the original product id and put it into, for example, my video code. What variable can I put where I have 'VariableHere in this example? How do I set it up? I use to write perl code but this is a little different. (I had a dollarsign in my little demo here but decided I had better remove it before posting)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You could try delia's Product Extra Fields plugin. That updates your database and the admin-console product-edit page to provide data-entry for various files (and one text-block) that are associated with each product and provides the display/link to those files when the product's product_info page is rendered.

I figured out. I have no idea what the 'correct' way to do this might be, but I have it working just like I wanted with the following;

				      <section id="section-2">
					
				
<?php $videofile="$products_model"; ?>				
<?php $videopath="videos/cc-content/uploads/h264/$videofile.mp4"; ?>
<?php if( file_exists($videopath)){  ?>
