DISPLAY_CART - Customer's Choice

[chrisytsma]

Questions is:

How can I configure my cart to have the ability to let the user decide whether or not they want the shopping cart displayed after they add a product?

Do I need to declare a new global variable that will have a definable value for every user/session?

 

Ideas/Requirements:

I have DISPLAY_CART set to false in my configuration

On shopping_cart.php and possibly on product_info.php, I want a check box available that looks like: [ ] Display Cart when adding products.

 

I want users who are not logged in to have the option shown to them on shopping_cart.php and product_info.php

 

I want logged in Customers to be able to save this option when they are logged in. This new customer variable would be saved when changed from any page. i.e. shopping_cart.php, product_info.php, or in their account.

 

If anyone has any good ideas on how to accomplish this, it would make a great contrib. I am moderately fluent in programming so jargon and code away!

 

Kind Regards,

Chris

Hi again,

 

Does anyone have any ideas to post about this? Or if there is already a contrib, can you point me to it? I have not seen one yet and have searched the contribs and the forum for it.

 

Thanks,

Chris
