(Solution)Re: Question about on-the-fly shopping cart display pages
****** message to minivend-users from Ceres <jfrye@ehg.net> ******
Ryan,
Thanks for the compliment. 8-) On your catch of the exp. date problem,
I am not sure what you mean "not returning an accurate value". Do 2004
and 2005 not display in the menu for you? What browser are you using?
As for the cart display, it isn't really a big deal. It is a simple
[item-list][/item-list] tag pair that surrounds various [item...] tags.
As per the docs " Within any page the [item-list cart*] element shows a
list of all the items ordered by the customer so far." The exception to
this rule that I have found is the fly-page. Because, the fly-page acts
as an item list, placing a [item-list cart*] tag on the page results in
the cart displaying the item info of the fly-page item. e.g. the
customer has three items in the cart they go to the fly page for a
fourth item the cart will displays the three current items with the
fourth's info. (Forgive me Mike if this is not entirely accurate)
The way around this I found was to insert the cart info from an
[include...] tag. So, in all my pages I have [include
/home/minivend/catalogs/hgdev/pages/Nav.html] which inserts my Nav page
(the column on the left). This works even on the fly-page. The code for
the "mini-cart" is:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#cccc99"><font size="4">Shopping Cart Contents</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="black">
<tr>
<td align="left" bgcolor="#cccccc" width="43%">
<font size="1"><b>SKU</b></font></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="white" width="13%">
<font size="1"><b>Qty</b></font></td>
<td align="right" bgcolor="#cccccc" width="43%">
<font size="1"><b>Price</b></font></td>
</tr>
[item-list]
<tr>
<td align="left" bgcolor="#cccccc" width="43%">
<font size="1">[item-code]</font></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="white" width="13%">
<font size="1">[item-quantity]</font></td>
<td align="right" bgcolor="#cccccc" width="43%">
<font size="1">[item-price]</font></td>
</tr>
[/item-list]
<tr bgcolor="#cccc99">
<td align="left" width="43%">
[page ord/basket]<font size="2">Edit Cart</font>[/page] </td>
<td align="center" width="13%">
[page ord/checkout]<font size="2">Checkout</font>[/page] </td>
<td align="right" width="43%">
[page canceled]<font size="2">Stop Shopping</font>[/page] </td>
</tr>
</table>
It is a simple little table with [item-list][/item-list] surrounding the
table cells for [item-code], [item-quantity], and [item-price]. Thats it.
I'm going to post this to the list for anyone else who might need it.
Happy Minivending
