Can't add items in cart on the index

[D72]

Hi all,

I am dealing for a couple of weeks with a really annoying problem.

The problem is, i can't get the code working to buy or add products from new products wich are displayed on my index.

I am able to view the info by clicking on the product image, or the info by clicking on the info button. But when i want to add the product in my cart, i am redirected to the checkout section, but the id of the product isn't added to the checkout list. How on earth do i correct this in my code line.

I really searched dozens of topics on forums. But it seems that i am not able to fix my problem.

 

The code wich is shown in my new_products.php looks like this:

<td style="padding-top:1px;"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $products_new['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART) . '</a></td>

Please can someone help me with this. I am really clueless abou tthis one.

 

The whole code of my new_products.php is as following:

<?php
?>
<!-- new_products //-->
<tr>
<td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<div class="header"><img src="images/marker_header.gif" width="3" height="5" alt="" style="margin:0px 6px 2px 0px;" />'.TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS.'</div>');

 new contentBoxHeading($info_box_contents);
?>

I am dealing for a couple of weeks with a really annoying problem.

The problem is, i can't get the code working to buy or add products from new products wich are displayed on my index.

If you would have done a "View Source" in your browser you might have spotted that the products_id is empty in that particular link. It is caused by the fact that you use $products_new['products_id'] (which is empty) instead of $new_products['products_id']:

																		<td style="padding-top:1px; padding-right:1px;" ><a href="'.tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']).'">'.tep_image_button('button_details.gif', Informatie).'</a></td><td style="padding-top:1px;"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $products_new['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART) . '</a></td>

O h M y G o d... :|

That's all?

I did just change:

$products_new['products_id'] into $new_products['products_id'] and the whole problem is solved.

This is really a relief, i didn't made the existing code. It was allready in there. So i thought it wasn't wrong. I am really glad that this problem is over. Thanks JanZ. You really was a great help!

Now up to my next problem...

Still have one to go :( The taxes and region part... Also a pain in the ass

This topic can be closed too in my case

 

Again, thanks.
