Copying 'AddtoCart' button to another page

Recommended Posts

I want to Copy the 'add to cart' button to another page. The new page is my catalogue, where I have item product descriptions one after another. for example;

 

[Picture1] [Picture2] [product1 description and price] [ADD TO CART]

[Picture1] [Picture2] [product2 description and price] [ADD TO CART]

[Picture1] [Picture2] [product3 description and price] [ADD TO CART]

[Picture1] [Picture2] [product4 description and price] [ADD TO CART]

[Picture1] [Picture2] [product5 description and price] [ADD TO CART]

[Picture1] [Picture2] [product6 description and price] [ADD TO CART]

etc...

 

So far I have been unsuccessful In copying this button because it is not just a link, it is a button that acts out a command. The product Id number is written in the page address of the product info page. for example;

 

http://www.example.com/shop/catalog/produc...?products_id=28

 

This id is also attached to the add to cart button. but when I try and copy the button to another page it doesn't work because the id is no longer in the address, this is a problem! I need to to have multiple 'add to cart' buttons if there are multiple products on a page but how if it relys on the address bar?

 

Is there some way of sorting this out? because I believe that the products info page is boring, it would make a big difference to my shop if it looked more like a catalogue and not so many page jumps. If i have all my info on the catalogue page and then they have to jump into the products info page just to click 'add to cart' what am I going to put on that page? (ARE YOU SURE?) lol

We have done this before on a non-oscommerce php shopping cart page. The button code looks like this:

 

<a href="http://sterlingrichards.com/storefront/index.php?cPath=21&sort=2a&action=buy_now&products_id=28"><img src="images/button_buy_now.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now" title=" Buy Now " width="61" height="24"></a>

 

You just have to get the two numbers in bold right...

Youve only got the one number in bold (cPath=21, do you mean buy_now&products_id=28?) should they both be 28, because that is the product id? I mean what constitutes as right?

 

Thank you

 

Ben.
