Adding to cart

Couple of questions about this.

How can I have an "add to cart" button on a product category page? (I can't see a setting in the admin tool).
How do I set up the shop so if a user clicks "add to cart" it simply adds the item in, and does'nt take them to their cart?

thanks in advance.

Re: Adding to cart

Please explain point 1. Why would you want to do that?

Re: Adding to cart

basically so if someone clicks on a category they can imediately add items into the cart without going into the item.

The more I think about it, I think that I would have to edit the template as some of the items have attributes attached to them.

Any ideas for point 2?

Re: Adding to cart

Are you looking for something like:

**THIS**

If so, there is a module called quick order

Hi there,

Not really..more of just when the items are show on the category view that their attributes and an add to cart are show.

Thanks

Re: Adding to cart

Thanks for that! If I want to tweek the look of that page (move the price and add a add to cart button next to each item) do I have to amend the tempate?

Re: Adding to cart

The sequence and position of sections are controlled by the template pages so yes, if you wish to change the layout you would have to do this by repositioning the sections inside the files.

Re: Adding to cart

BTW. Have a look at this http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=77 contribution by Dr. Byte. This mod allows some alternative ways of product listings.
