    Cart button in other pages

    Most of the thumbnails on my site go to an "extended info" page but NOT via the Extended Info built into Actinic. I would like to place an Add to Cart button on these pages. Does anyone know how to do this, like the code I need to drop in or where I might find help with this?

    If you have really simple products (no attributes, choices, etc) then there are plenty of posts on this and the Knowledge base regarding adding to cart from outside catalog. A bit of searching should find you some.

    Also, I've done an extension to Actinic that lets the usual Actinic popup pages have full add to cart capability with all attributes / choices, etc.
    This may be worth switching to if you use Attributes, Components, etc. See http://www.rouxel.cwc.net/actinicstuff.html

      Add to Cart Button

      I have already carried out 2 searches and unfortunately didn't come up with anything specific to my query. I have also looked in the knowledge base and found nothing. Perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms but I would have thought that "Add to Cart Button" would show anything relevant if it existed. I will keep searching. My question is still active.

          I had a search too as I'm pretty sure I'd posted on this myself. However I've got over 1,000 postings so it was going to be a huge slog so I gave up after lots of misses.

          Anyway:-

          Each of your home brewed thumbnails will have to contain a lot of Actinic parameters for this to work.

          You may find it easier to convert them to Extended Info pages and use my extension above for getting the Cart button working on them.

          That way all the product info is automatically created for you.

            Extended Info

            Your script seems to work fine Norman. Whilst I'd like to use the Extended Info function I don't really want to introduce pop-ups on the site. Is there a way to have the Extended Info open in the parent browser window instead?

              Try this. It's a heavily cut down Act_primary, merged with my Cart Button popup product line, most of the JavaScript stripped out ans simplified, and a form wrapped round the product.

              Code:
              Add to cart capable popup in main page instead of popup.

Go to Design / Text / Phase -1 ID 2175 and replace:

javascript:ShowPopUp('%s',%s,%s);

with:

javascript:location.href=unescape('%s');


Save the following in Site1 as SamePageInsteadOfPopUp.html and use for the Extended Info Template
in the products where you want the popup to appear in the same page:

              This was my first attempt at this and, as I have no need for it myself, debugging and extending it will be up to you.

                  This was only briefly tested by me and will change the way all Extended Info pages work. If you have existing extended info pages it will break them. If you have none then you should be able to test OK as it's only the Extended Info pages that are altered.

                  Personally, I'd save my network settings and then use a different set to try it out on a test server (don't forget to set a different cgi ID number).

                  Or set up and test on a standlone server as per the Advanced Guide. That's how I test things here.

                    Extended Info

                    You'll be pleased to hear that the script works fine bringing up the extended info into the parent window. The only thing that doesn't work is the Add to Cart button. Had a fiddle around, but can't figure out why not, but I'm not too bothered about this. It would have been cool to have it work but our customers are quite used to returning to the thumbnail page to Add to Cart. I will pursue it. Thanks again Norman.

                      Wierd. The Cart Button works on these popup in same window pages for me here.

                      What happens when you press it?

                      Also, make sure you have "Quantity on Product Page" type sections for the ones your testing this on, as this is how I tested it.

                        Extended Info

                        It works now. Didn't have Quantity in Products Pages switched on. Working too late, silly me.
                        Terrific help Norman. Thanks.
