Hi Paul,

Guess this is the same as the earlier thread though with a different request. To get to the Quantity on Confirmation page issue..

Open ShoppingCart.pl in notepad

Search for 'MAXLENGTH=10' you will find it in the following lines of code

$VariableTable{$::VARPREFIX."QUANTITY"} = "<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=\"Q_$ProductRef\" VALUE=\"" .
$nDefaultQuantity . "\" SIZE=6 MAXLENGTH=10>";

On the line above 'MAXLENGTH=10', change INPUT TYPE=TEXT to read INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN

Save and exit the file. This will get rid of the quantity box on the Confirmation page but not the words 'Quantity:', you can do this by going into Design | Text, click on 'Go To' and type in '166' in the ID field. Delete the value from within the right hand side. Apply and then update the site.

As for the questions to this query:

1. I would like to add a 4th button = Confirm/View Cart. Is it possible to take the customer to the shopping cart where they can make adjustments to the entire shopping cart contents?

You could hard code a link to the View Cart page, but this would only work if there are products that are already in the cart. The other option is to use the standard confirm button

and then use teh work around on the Knowledge base here to get the bounce to take the customer to the view cart page, the URL for that page should be http://www.yourserver.co.uk/cgi-bin/...CTION=SHOWCART, change the script ID to reflect what you have in your Network Settings.

Please Note: if you change your shopping mode you will have to reinstate The Design | Text change as that also controlls the 'Quantity:' entry against products.

2. Also on the 'Quantity on Confirmation Page' - the cart details will display if the customer already has something in the cart. Is it possible to remove this from displaying? I think I may need to remove
NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERDETAILS? Is this correct?

That is correct, comment it out using 

Since some of this involves script changes the usual disclaimers apply.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

That's great - many thanks!!!!

A couple of questions regarding question 1 :-) 4th button = Confirm/View Cart

and then use teh work around on the Knowledge base here to get the bounce to take the customer to the view cart page

I cant find the post that says how to divert Confirm, the closest is: How can I change the URL for the 'Continue Shopping' on the 'View Cart' page? I am probably not looking correctly but I have gone through the page a few times.

Also - I would like, if possible, to retain the button confirm/continue shopping. Therefore I wonder if it is possible to create (clone) a second function from the confirm button and change this URL rather than change the original confirm button?

Paul,

The link I provided is to help change the destination of the add to cart button. Since you are using quantity on confirmation page this will happen only on clicking the confirm button, which you can retain.

Kind regards,

Hi Bruce

I want to make sure I have understood you correctly. If I use the changes listed under Issue: How do I change the URL to which a customer is bounced once they 'Add to Cart'? this will change the destination url of my customer once the have clicked confirm on the 'Quantity on Confirmation Page'?

Hi Paul,

That is correct. You can see a working example @ http://support.actinic.co.uk/~bksupp...log/index.html . Add a product to the basket and then click on confirm. Please ignore the state of the confirm button, I have been playing around with the site, do most of the tests on it !!!

The change will not work like this under normal circumstances, it is because of the shopping mode and the request location information early checkbox. Other shopping modes will result in the view cart coming up as soon as you click on 'Add to Cart'.

Kind regards,

Hi Bruce

Thanks.

I had a look on the demo site but it is coming up with an error when you click add to cart or view cart.

I made the changes to my site but the same error also occurs on my site.

Error page contains the following on both your site and my site once the changes are made to ShoppingCart.pl:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.33 Server at cgi01-ch.uk.clara.net Port 80

I # out the two lines and then included this in my pl script:

my $sDestinationUrl = "http://www.kjbeckett.com/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART" ;
@Response = ACTINIC::BounceToPageEnhanced($nBounceDelay,
ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 1962) . $sCartHTML . ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 1970)
. ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2051), $sPageTitle, $::g_sWebSiteUrl,
$::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob, $sDestinationUrl, \%::g_InputHash); -

Hi Paul,

Thanks for finding a problem with the workaround as given on the Knowledge Base, please remove the very last '-' on the last line..

Change:
$::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob, $sDestinationUrl, \%::g_InputHash); -

To read,
$::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob, $sDestinationUrl, \%::g_InputHash);

Update and check the site. My site too should now work, brilliant me had used the wrong script ID !!

Kind regards,
