Re: Ajax Shopping Cart Sidebox

We got a sneak peak of a cool new feature for the Ajax shopping cart sidebox before the forums went down. But, an update was never posted.

Andrew, do you plan to release a new version of this mod, with the product image floating over to the sidebox when it's added to the cart? Either way, thanks! I love this mod.

since the download section isnt up and going... think you could add the file to this thread?

I believe this is the most recent version. I'll post it until Andrew or someone else can post a permanent location:

Anyone have a site where I can take a look at how this works? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm trying to use this module on my zen-cart web page (http://www.monofonica.com), but I have a little problem with the inclusion of the form on the cart to use the AJAX classes.

Everything else is working fine and the AJAX classes are loading in the header section. But I'm still confused about the use of this application.

Where I must change the settings to use the templates for featured_products, product_display_info and all the others.

Can any one help on this?

The missing part in all forms is the onsubmit function.

Example: onSubmit="ajaxUpdateProduct(this, 'main_page=shopping_cart&action=update_product'); return false;"

This part must be called in some way on the cart but in the instructions do not says how or where else you must do the changes.

I already did all changes on the readme.txt, but it didn't work. Thanks for all the help you can post here.

Andrew is missing in action, I guess.

I have two small issues with this contrib -- anybody know how to fix em?

1. The ajaxShoppingCart_ok.gif, which signals that the product has been placed in the cart, won't disappear until the customer moves their mouse. We don't use a standard universal symbol for 'ok', so it's actually a little confusing that it doesn't disappear after a moment.

Is there a way to have it automatically disappear after a certain amount of time?

2. The loading.gif and ok.gif are also displaying when the customer removes something from the cart. We'd like to display different gifs for this action.

Anybody know a way to use different gifs for product removal from cart?

i think andrew is busy with the commitments! i tried to reach him but until now, no response at all! a lot of issues actually with this contrib especially with the latest ZC but andrew wasn't here to support it...:no: but a few of his AJAX contribs is compatible with current ZC zuch as Quickfind, Yahootreemenu and State Selector...well, you have to wait till someone know how to fix these contrib. A lot of ZENners out there trying to fix it including me but no luck...:P

Any example site where can see this working?

http://www.monofonica.com/ is one but I dont see any AJAX there

actually, this mod still working with latest ZC but you have to apply small configuration from your admin to make it work! but the effect on buy now at the product listing page was not working... i am still trying to make it work on the latest system! :D

Hello Fellow Zenners,

The Ajax Shopping Cart Sidebox sounded like a wonderful thing that would have stopped distracting shoppers from their primary task...
...shopping.

Rather than being throw out to the shopping cart, an inplace update to a sidebox would be a good thing.

So what happened? I see no sign of it in the sideboxes downloads.

If I missed something, please tell me. I love good grapes.

I am working on this Contrib that I really like in oscommerce and that seemed to have been dropped...

I'm almost there, except some weird behaviors when the .innerhtml is rendered:

http://www.queenannetoys.com/nice-puzzle-p-2.html

I worked from the oscommerce mod , and the Zencart DIVs don;t exactly behav like tables cell :-) I neeed some some help here:

• the ajax behavior starts after there is already one item in the cart: the first item addition is not "ajaxed"

• it looks like the entire site (and the product listing) is injected in the target div, instead of just the (qty ea. product names)

• I have the "JavaScript code generated by backend is invalid!" message, but I am unable to see what is generated :-)

That would be a good start for now (there are still some little things that will need some fixing after this step)

Thank you all to help me to port this great MOD to Zencart!

Hi All,

I just stumbled upon zencart looking for this exact feature. A great example I found is at https://www.netgrocer.com then click on the grocery tab. It is so slick and smooth and no need to refresh page.

Is this the kind of mod you are hoping to develop? I am first on your waiting list if it is!!

Best of luck developing. The netgrocer is a nice example

Luke...

There is no Ajax or whatsoever on this site: there are pages refresh (at least in my apple safari)

This site uses frames, which is a no-no for SEO, maybe this is what you thought was Ajax?

You want a perfect ajax site example?

http://www.endless.com/

made by Amazon. and top-notch designers/programers!

But zencart is a little bit behind that! (just kidding :-)

A site we have designed using Ajax, but oscommerce:

safeskieslocks.com/store/thick-shackle-3-dial-light-pink-tsa-industrial-case-liberty-lock-p-189.html

(add an item to the cart to see the ajax in action)

:bump:

Any update on this? This is exactly what I am looking for!

Nope I'm still stuck!

Is there a working contrib that works for this yet?

I just recently made a module to make your product info page abit similar to endless.com, but theirs is ABSOLUTELY wonderful!

its AJAX Image Swapper - inside Marketing Tools, btw

I dunno why but the search function isn't working properly, I can't find AJAX Shopping Cart Sidebox module nor AJAX Image Swapper - I have inputted AJAX in my search... Anybody know where I can get a copy of this module?

Interesting animation, cool!

This would really make Zen Cart a lot nicer.

I kinda wanted to figure out how to do it, but I'd be starting from scratch.

Is this mod actually available or in development?
