Permanet Free Item In Cart

[harborsales]

We give away free product(s) with every purchase from our store. We would like that free item to be automaticly listed into the customers cart after they put an item in. We would like it to show item # desription and price of FREE.

 

Does anyone know if this is possible?

 

Thanks

In the reset function in includes/classes/shopping_cart.php, add a line to add that product after it clears the cart. You may also want to modify the function that updates quantities so that it only allows one of that item. Possibly other issues of which I'm not thinking at the moment.

 

Hth,

Thanks for the reply, I am very new at this could you possibly give me an example of what the code should look like and approximately where it should go?

 

Thanks

define('FREE_PRODUCT_ID', '28');
$this->add_cart(FREE_PRODUCT_ID, 1);

to includes/classes/shopping_cart.php, after (around lines 69-71):

      if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') && ($reset_database == true)) {
       tep_db_query("delete from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS_BASKET . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");
       tep_db_query("delete from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS_BASKET_ATTRIBUTES . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");

and before the closing }. I think; I haven't actually tried it. You might have to fool around for a while to find the exact correct place.

Thanks Matt for the code I tried it the way you stated and also fooled around with it but I couldn't get it to work. The free item never would show up in the cart. Thanks again for trying to help me out, I will keep fumbling around with it and hopefully I will figure it out.
