Multiple carts in one basket page... [quantity-name] prevents thi s?

[Eric.Lewis@swisscom.com]

Hi!

I searched through the mail list archive, but didn't find a solution to my
problem...

I have two carts, one for purchases and one for rentals. The purchases one
is the normal "main", the other one is called "rental", and I want them both
on *the same* cart page. Now, in basket.html I have the following code
(short version):

                        [if items main]
                        [then]
                            [item-list main]
                                <tr>
                                    <td width="80" align="center">
                                        <input type=checkbox
name="[quantity-name]"
 
onClick="this.form.action='[process-target]',
                                        this.form.submit()" value=0>
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="center">
                                        <input type="text"
name=[quantity-name] value="[item-quantity]" size=3>
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="left">
                                         [item-field FullDescription]
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="right">
                                            [item-price]
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="right">
                                            [item-subtotal]
                                    </td>
                                </tr>
                            [/item-list]
                        [/then]
                        [/if]
                        [if items rental]
                        [then]
                            [item-list rental]
                                <tr>
                                    <td width="80" align="center">
                                        <input type=checkbox
name="[quantity-name]"
 
onClick="this.form.action='[process-target]',
                                        this.form.submit()" value=0>
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="center">
                                        <input type="text"
name=[quantity-name] value="[item-quantity]" size=3>
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="left">
                                         [item-field FullDescription]
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="right">
                                        [currency]
                                            [item-field rentalprice]
                                        [/currency]
                                    </td>
                                    <td valign="top" align="right">
                                        [currency]
                                            [calc]
                                                [item-field RentalPrice] *
[item-quantity]
                                            [/calc]
                                        [/currency]
                                    </td>
                                </tr>
                            [/item-list]
                        [/then]
                        [/if]

I read in the mail archive that if you put the Remove checkbox *after* the
input field for quantity, it won't work, since MiniVend gets two CGI
variables called quantity0 (for the first line), one with a value 1 (or
whatever the quantity is) and another with the value 0 (from the Remove
checkbox). Since it always takes the first value, the item isn't deleted.
I figured that this could be my problem. When I look at the HTML code, I see
the following:

For basket "main":
The Remove checkbox:
<input type=checkbox name="quantity0"
onClick="this.form.action='http://whatever/cgi-bin/demo2/process?tImDLzpC;;3
58', this.form.submit()" value=0>
The quantity:
<input type="text" name=quantity0 value="1" size=3>

For basket "rental":
The Remove checkbox:
<input type=checkbox name="quantity0"
onClick="this.form.action='http://whatever/cgi-bin/demo2/process?tImDLzpC;;3
94', this.form.submit()" value=0>
The quantity:
<input type="text" name=quantity0 value="1" size=3>

Yeah, looks pretty much the same. So, if I change anything in the "rental"
basket, it doesn't reflect and shows the quantity of the "main" basket
instead. Just for fun, I put the "rental" basket before the "main" basket on
the page. And now, if I change something in the "rental" basket, it reflects
in the "main" basket.
All of this is quite logical, once you see it.

But my problem still isn't solved: How do I get different "quantity.."
identifiers? Why doesn't MiniVend change to another identifier within a new
cart? Do I have to do it by hand?

I'm glad for any help...

Eric
