Is it possible to include shopping car contents in html page?

[dowser]

What would it take to include shopping cart contents on top of an html page? I'm trying to create templates for the rest of my website converted into OSC and having that would look nice and be very useful from shopper's perspective.

 

Any ideas?

nope its not possible. however you can put a link to your html page that will redirect to your shopping cart.

Very possible.

 

1. Get your html pages to understand php addtype <-- search in google for that

2. then include application_top.php

3. show the cart count and value.

Yes, they are php ready, will give it a try, thank you!

 

If it works fine - it could be a part of a contribution, there are a lot of websites that were converted to OSC.

OK, I've tried to include the applicatio_top.php:

 

<?php include ('/store/includes/application_top.php'); ?>

 

but got the following error:

 

Warning: include(/store/includes/application_top.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/index-main.html on line 30

 

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/store/includes/application_top.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/divining/public_html/index-main.html on line 30

 

This is the line 30 of my code:

 

<td><?php include ('/store/includes/application_top.php'); ?></td>

 

Is there anything else I need to do? Sorry, I'm not well versed in php... I probably skipped your point 3, but have no idea how to do it.

I've tried removing the back slash (relative path), but now I got:

 

Warning: require(includes/configure.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/divining/public_html/store/includes/application_top.php on line 28

 

Warning: require(includes/configure.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/divining/public_html/store/includes/application_top.php on line 28

 

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/configure.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/divining/public_html/store/includes/application_top.php on line 28

 

How to include the required configure.php without security issues?

 

[germ]

This might work:

 

  chdir( 'store');
 require('includes/application_top.php');

[dowser]

This might work:

 

 chdir( 'store');
require('includes/application_top.php');

 

I've tried it, but now there is an issue with session cookies...

If the cookie path in the config file is:

 

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/store/');

Changing it to:

 

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

Might fix the problem.

It fix the errors, but still doesn't display anything...

In your server PHP configuration (usually php.ini file) try adding your store's base path to the "include_path" setting, so you get

include_path='.:/home/divining/public_html/store:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php'

That way PHP will look for /home/divining/public_html/store/includes/configure.php, as well as ./includes/configure.php. /usr/lib/php/includes/configure.php and /usr/local/includes/configure.php shouldn't be checked, as the file will already be found.

I don't have access to the server's root, is there any other way of accomplishing that?

[burt]

It worked OK for me, but my .html page was in the same level as my osc .php pages. Let me try it outside the osc structure - I'll post my findings.

[burt]

Yes, it worked fine - however, please note that I am testing this on http://localhost not a live server...which could possibly make a difference.

chdir('oscommerce');

<p>You have <?php echo $cart->count_contents(); ?> <?php echo $cart->count_contents() == "1" ? "item" : "items"; ?> in your cart.</p>

and the .htaccess

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

You don't do this in the server root -- you do it in your site root (/php.ini). Talk with your hosting service to see how to set up a php.ini file, where to put it, and whether you need to change any other files in the process (such as .htaccess). What you want to accomplish is expanding the PHP "include_path" setting to include your store's root.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

 

It works fine - till I add something to the cart. Then I get:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in /home/divining/public_html/store/includes/application_top.php on line 321

 

Looks like it's tougher than I thought...

Well - now I'm getting:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function count_contents() on a non-object in /home/xxxx/public_html/testingcart.htm on line 15

 

I'm ready to give up and just use a link to the shopping cart...

I finally got it working without errors, but it's not updating, the cart remains at zero even after adding products.

If you aren't using the osC function tep_href_link INSIDE the store to link to the page OUTSIDE the store you may be losing the session ID and thereby dumping the cart contents.

 

There is a thread about that here

Sorry, that's over my head! I better gracefully withdraw thanking everybody for their input, otherwise I might get lost :blush:
