altavistabiz Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I am having a problem with products loading into the cart, however it only occurs when I'm clicking the "add to cart" button from the product_info page. If i click "buy now" on the index.php page (where all the products are lined up in the category) it works just fine! I have looked over the previous threads on similar issues but don't exactly know how to apply the changes to my specific circumstances. Please advise. P.S. I have looked at the Global register and both settings are off. I am unable to determine where I make that change. I see the php directory, but don't know how to get there
spax Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Do you have a template? The standard code for the "Add to Cart" button is this <?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?> Check you have that in product_info.php

spax Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Hmm, strange! A default installation with no mods added?
altavistabiz Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Hmm, strange! A default installation with no mods added? I know! :blink: The only thing I can think is that there is some connection with the config files that I changed to allow for SSL. Everything else works just dandy. So, I'm stumped.
lindsayanng Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I dont think that SSL and config files have anything to do with this.. Does your Add To Cart code in Product_info look like the one posted above?? it also seems that you do not have an oscsid (session id) which is what keeps the session alive while you are shopping.. Did you force cookies to true?? or did you ENABLE SEO FRIENDLY URLs?? if you enables SEO FRIENDLY urls try disabling it A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.

Did you force cookies to true?? or did you ENABLE SEO FRIENDLY URLs?? if you enables SEO FRIENDLY urls try disabling it I was wondering about that too. However, when I disable it I cannot get the enable cookies page to go away when I'm testing... I'll try again. (10 minutes later) I disabled that and now cookies are forced, however original problem persists. I'm ready to look for another option. The funny thing is that clicking on the "buy now" button from the main page works, but from product_info page "add to cart" does not. I'm new to php and would like to code in the same buy now feature on the product-info page, but it appears not to be the same kind of functionality. I'll paste the code in a moment...

I just tested in two browsers - Firefox and IE- and both times I keep get the enable cookies message. Cookies are enabled! I triple checked both browsers! Is this helping?

AJRYAN Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm going to have to go in a different direction. So, how do I disable the ability to link to product_info.php from the index.php page? Thanks, Daphne One suggestion I could make but cannot be specific is to remove that column from the results - should be an easy find and that's what I may end up doing temporarily. I have the opposite problem - I can add anything to the cart from anywhere except from a the main product listing. Featured products, products info, specials, searches all work fine. But if someone adds to the cart after a search from the categories list, they get an empty cart. I have SEO installed, and as far as I know, it worked when installed though I may not have checked every possibility. I believe whatever problem I have is going to be fixed in the products_listing file, but I'd hate to go in there and muck things up. Can anyone please help? Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Didgemandu Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Hi, I've got this problem too. Very wierd. Just noticed in the last couple of days. Have you had any thoughts? Cheers Rob
syphenologist Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have the same problem on 2 different sites..
Guest Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I'm not sure if this is what you are after but I believe that a "buy now" button should go off to some merchant site that allows you to buy one item now. I wanted an "add to cart" feature which allows the client to continue shopping so I did the following: Buy Now problem. Please note that at least the following contributions have been appplied to this site. Header tags 309 SID Killer 2 (this is where the forms come from) Ultimate SEO URLs 2.6 (turned off - causes problems with manufacturers box) Better Product Display 2.0.3 Add a BACK button Product Listing Module 2.3 Infobox with many products Checked catalog/includes/application_top.php for case 'add_product' and case 'buy_now', this is how I discovered that product_quantity MUST be greater than Zero. Edit Files: catalog/products_new.php catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php Changed the <form name="buy_now_ to <form name="add_cart_ No real reason but I want to add to cart not buy now. Changed the 'action=buy_now' to 'action=add_product' This takes me straight to the shopping cart. Also - VERY IMPORTANT - ensure that the product quantities are greater than ZERO or you just get the 'Your Shopping Cart is empty!' message. Not using product reviews yet so I haven't done anything about: catalog/product_reviews.php catalog/product_reviews_info.php catalog/product_reviews_write.php Hope this helps

Also - VERY IMPORTANT - ensure that the product quantities are greater than ZERO or you just get the 'Your Shopping Cart is empty!' message. I am trying to put a add to cart box to specials here is the code I am using <?php . tep_draw_form('cart_quantity', tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product')) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART) .?> and have that exact problem -nothing is added i just go to the the empty cart I did nt quite get the solution from steve24 can someone explain
diy Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Actually i have made the products_new.php to have the same look aw the specials Used this code to add a cart box in the PRODUCTS_NEW echo '<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) . and it worked

In your store your product quantities have to be greater than zero. Just run this MySql query to set them to 50 (change 50 to be any number you like) UPDATE products SET products_quantity = 50 WHERE products_quantity < 50;
Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 after all the hassles / attempts to work out what was going on - turns out it was simply that i didn't have quantities in the products setup - all were 0 or less - as there isn't a 'stock' system as such - the stock will just keep going... thanks for the answer :)
DawnG Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I'm also getting this from the Category page - it empties the cart, and if you're logged in it kicks you out. I've tried running the SQL code, and changing my config and session settings, but nothing seems to be working.
pete636ua Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 FYI - If you are using MVS the vendor also has to be filled out or the items will not be added to the cart :)
OSC-Sevilla Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 after all the hassles / attempts to work out what was going on - turns out it was simply that i didn't have quantities in the products setup - all were 0 or less - as there isn't a 'stock' system as such - the stock will just keep going... thanks for the answer Yes I am having the same issue -very annoying , if i add a product with 0 quantity in stock to cart from index is shows in SHOPPING_CART.php with *** (RED) not available, from product info is just displays "Your Shopping Cart is empty!" ... .... I dont want to have to give products quantity . Interestingly the stock OSC 2.3.1 works just fine.. So I am goning to dig deeper!
