Clear cart with button click

Hello Zenners,

Is there a way (in Zen Cart 1.5.8a) i can clear the whole shoppingcart with one button click?

Nope, there's not. Either all quantities need to be zeroed or each of the items' delete checkboxes clicked and then the overall "Update" icon clicked.

Thanks Lat9 for you're quick response.
Helps me a lot.

I also had a need for this, so I added a javascript checkbox at the top of the shopping cart page that checks all the other boxes at once.

Two clicks to empty the cart:

<div class="nav-item">
         <input class="ml-auto" type="checkbox" onchange="checkAll(this)" name="chk[]"> <i class="fas fa-trash-alt"></i>
</div>

<script>
    
     function checkAll(ele) {
     var checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
     if (ele.checked) {
         for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
             if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                 checkboxes[i].checked = true;
             }
         }
     } else {
         for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
             console.log(i)
             if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                 checkboxes[i].checked = false;
             }
         }
     }
 }
    
</script>

What about action=empty_cart ?

You can add a button or a link literally anywhere on the website:

index.php?main_page=shopping_cart&action=empty_cart

or, if you prefer the correct way with php:

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, 'action=empty_cart'); ?>" class="buttonRow emptyCart">Empty Cart</a>

Style it the way you like.
