how to update cart just before Checkout_Confirmation?

[ftrippie]

Hi guys,

 

I am in need of some help. I have combined the DiscountCode with the Free Gift (Dangling Carrot). Both work perfect seperately, but I need to check one against the other and I am almost there.

discount code: Discount Code

Gift: Dangling Carrot

 

Basically, on the discountcode enter page (Payment_confirmation), I check against 1 particular code (I have only 1 client with free gifts AND discount). Then, if I go to the CheckOut_Confirmation page, it succesfully adds the free gifts to the cart, it shows the correct quantity in the header (extra gifts) and it shows the correct price.

But, I don't see the shipping-weight and shipping-costs updated. The items are correctly updated, but the weight is not being checked at the point apparantly.

Is there no simple function to update weight and shipping, without going back to previous pages?

 

Thanks!

Nobody can help me?

 

I managed to add a 'code field' to the customer account creation, and then copying that code to the free gift setup at login with:

 

$account_query = tep_db_query("select customers_discode from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");

$account = tep_db_fetch_array($account_query);

if (!$sess_discount_code) $sess_discount_code = $account['customers_discode'];

 

That works, if a customer logs in BEFORE adding product to the cart. BUT, if he adds products to the cart and then logs in or creates a new account, I am stuck with the same problem as the first post; the items are correctly added, but the shipping weight and costs are not recalculated. So, I would still like to know if there is a simple function to update weight and shipping, without going back to previous pages?

YES! I finally got it working!

Created an extra field at customer registration to enter the code already and also had some extra checks built throughout the site.
