Stop Products Adding Together in Cart

[Jade]

I am selling a product in rolls, sized in lengths of anything between 5 and 80 mtrs (length chosen by the customer).

The problem I am having is if the customer wants to order two seperate lengths of the same item the cart adds them together as one item and I therefore do not know it is two rolls of different sizes

I have looked and looked again for an option to check or uncheck to ask the cart to treat them as two different items, and checked the forum and the knowledgebase for an answer but can't find anything.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I found a solution for V7 and the code is still the same for V9. See http://community.actinic.com/archive...p/t-35249.html

Note that this will stop all identical items from being combined.

Hi Norman

Note that this will stop all identical items from being combined.

I can live with that.....I think.

Can I check with you what I am changing as I know absolutely nothing about perl scripts

I have copied and pasted the following from the Cart.pm .....

sub CombineCartLines
{
my $Self = shift;
my $pCartList = $Self->{_CartList}; # reference to cart list
my $nCartIndex;
my %Removed; # list of removed items

for( $nCartIndex = 1; $nCartIndex <= $#$pCartList; $nCartIndex++ ) # loop over the whole list
{
my $pCartItem = $pCartList->[$nCartIndex];
my @aFoundIndices = $Self->FindSimilarCartItems($pCartItem, 0, $nCartIndex - 1);
my $nFoundIndex;
foreach $nFoundIndex (@aFoundIndices)
{
$Removed{$nCartIndex} = $::TRUE; # Identical, remember to remove this one
$pCartList->[$nFoundIndex]->{QUANTITY} += $pCartList->[$nCartIndex]->{QUANTITY}; # add quantity to the other one
}
}
foreach (sort {$b <=> $a} keys(%Removed)) # Remove repeated lines (backwards!)
{
splice @$pCartList,$_,1;
}
}

Do I take out ALL (?) the above code and enter the following instead...

sub CombineCartLines
{
return; # don't combine
}

Many, Many thanks for your help

No. Just do as the prior post. Amend

sub CombineCartLines
{

to be

sub CombineCartLines
{
return; # don't combine

Leave everything else as it is.

Hi Norman

Thanks for the quick reply...very much appreciated.

I will give it a try tomorrow.

Thank you again for the solution, it sounds like it will do the job perfectly.
