any idea on this one?

 

this my jquery that i added on product.tpl

 

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#retail_details").hide();

 

 

if ($("#retail").prop("checked") == true){

console.log('retail');

xxx = '{$productPrice}';

console.log(xxx);

//yyy = {Product::testingProductFunctionTwo("xxx")};

 

}else if($("#wholesale").prop("checked") == true){

console.log('wholesale');

{math equation="pprice / punit_price"  pprice=$productPrice  punit_price=$product->unit_price_ratio assign=unit_price}

xxx = '{$unit_price|number_format:2}';

console.log(xxx);

//yyy = {Product::testingProductFunctionTwo(xxx)};

console.log('hey');

 

}

 

 

$("#retail").click(function(){

if($(this).prop("checked") == true){

$("#wholesale").attr("checked", false);

$("#retail_details").show();

$("#retail_tot_price").val('{$productPrice}');

$("#our_price_display").text('{$currencySign|html_entity_decode:2:"UTF-8"}{$productPrice}');

xxx = '{$productPrice}';

console.log(xxx);

}else if ($(this).prop("checked") == false){

$("#wholesale").attr("checked", false);

$(this).checked = true;

$("#retail_details").show();

$("#retail_tot_price").val('{$productPrice}');

$("#our_price_display").text('{$currencySign|html_entity_decode:2:"UTF-8"}{$productPrice}');

xxx = '{$productPrice}';

console.log(xxx);

}

});

 

$("#wholesale").click(function(){

if($(this).prop("checked") == true){

$("#retail").attr("checked", false);

$("#retail_tot_price").val(0);

$("#retail_details").hide();

{math equation="pprice / punit_price"  pprice=$productPrice  punit_price=$product->unit_price_ratio assign=unit_price}

$("#our_price_display").text('{$currencySign|html_entity_decode:2:"UTF-8"}{$unit_price|number_format:2} / {$product->unity}');

xxx = '{$unit_price|number_format:2}';

console.log(xxx);

 

}else if ($(this).prop("checked") == false){

$("#retail").attr("checked", false);

$(this).checked = true;

$("#retail_tot_price").val(0);

$("#retail_details").hide();

{math equation="pprice / punit_price"  pprice=$productPrice  punit_price=$product->unit_price_ratio assign=unit_price}

$("#our_price_display").text('{$currencySign|html_entity_decode:2:"UTF-8"}{$unit_price|number_format:2} / {$product->unity}');

xxx = '{$unit_price|number_format:2}';

console.log(xxx);

}

});

 

 

$("#quantity_wanted").change(function(){

var rprice = '{$productPrice}';

var rtlqty = $("#quantity_wanted").val();

var rtlweight = '{$product->unity_weight}';

$("#retail_prop").val(rtlqty * (rtlweight));

$("#retail_tot_price").val(rtlqty * rprice);

});

 

});

 

 

and this is on the rest of the code

 

<!-- Moding for retail price-->

{if !empty($product->unity) && $product->unit_price_ratio > 0.000000}

 

<!-- wholesale / retail selection -->

<p>

<label>{''}</label>

<input type="radio" id="retail" value="0" />{'pc(s).      '}

<input type="radio" id="wholesale" value="1" checked="checked" />{l s=''} {$product->unity|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{'(s)'}

</p>

 

<!-- retail selection active -->

<p id="retail_details">

<label>{''}</label>

<input type="text" size="3" id="retail_prop" value="{$product->unity_weight}" />{$product->unity|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{'   $'} <input type="text" size="3" id="retail_tot_price"/>

 

</p>

 

{/if}

<!--  end for moding retaqil price  -->

 

 

<p class="our_price_display">

{if $priceDisplay >= 0 && $priceDisplay <= 2}

 

{if !isset($unity_choice) && empty($unity_choice)}

<span id="our_price_display">{convertPrice price=$productPrice}</span>

 

{else isset($unity_choice) && !empty($unity_choice)}

{math equation="pprice / punit_price"  pprice=$productPrice  punit_price=$product->unit_price_ratio assign=unit_price}

<span id="our_price_display" >{convertPrice price=$unit_price}{' / '}{$product->unity|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</span>

 

{/if}

 

 

{/if}

</p>

anyone please?

 

How do I pass a value from text field from products.tpl to Controller.php or cart.php

 

any idea is appreciated

[vekia]

you have to post this form first, then you can use $_POST['cstm_txt'] (don't forget about name="cstm_txt")

Hi Vekia

 

actually this input is already under the form

 

<form id="buy_block" {if $PS_CATALOG_MODE AND !isset($groups) AND $product->quantity > 0}class="hidden"{/if} action="{$link->getPageLink('cart')}" method="post">

    

.....some code

 

<input type="hidden" name="cstm_txt" id="cstm_txt" value="{convertPrice price=$unit_price}" />

 

<p id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block">

<span></span>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{l s='Add to cart'}" class="exclusive" />

</p>

</form>

 

where do i include the variable that this input gets posted,

 

what I am trying to do is Post this value in the Cart Controller and acces the value both in the CartController.php and in the Cart.php

[vekia]

you can use in product controller Tools::getValue('cstm_txt')

[jahyax]

you can use in product controller Tools::getValue('cstm_txt')

Thanks Vekia

 

 I have tried in Product Controller

 

$this->context->smarty->assign('custom_unity_price', Tools::getValue('cstm_txt'));

 

and in product.tpl i use {$custom_unity_price}  but the value is empty..

 

also I want this value to be accessible in the Cart..

[vekia]

you have to post this field first, after that you will be able to use Tools feature.

you said that you've got it in the form so i suppose that you want to post it somewhere.

Vekia, thanks for looking out..

 

yes I include it in the form and the for is <form id="buy_block" {if $PS_CATALOG_MODE AND !isset($groups) AND $product->quantity > 0}class="hidden"{/if} action="{$link->getPageLink('cart')}" method="post">

 

according to my understanding, if I am not wrong, this form is the one that execute or adds products to cart, I also assume that the posted data goes into CartController if not in ProductController, but I am lost on where to access the posted data so that I could view in on cart display for front end

[jahyax]

I want I really want to happen on this one is that the value of my custom field on product.tpl is to posted or passed on to Cart:

 

my workaround was:

 

 include the the custom text field inside a form for the add to cart ie

<form id="buy_block" {if $PS_CATALOG_MODE AND !isset($groups) AND $product->quantity > 0}class="hidden"{/if} action="{$link->getPageLink('cart')}" method="post">

    

.....some code

 

<input type="hidden" name="cstm_txt" id="cstm_txt" value="{convertPrice price=$unit_price}" />

 

<p id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block">

<span></span>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{l s='Add to cart'}" class="exclusive" />

</p>

</form>

 

and then on the ajax-cart.js i added on the data of the function add

 

on this line of code

$('#add_to_cart input').unbind('click').click(function(){

ajaxCart.add( $('#product_page_product_id').val(), $('#idCombination').val(), true, null, $('#quantity_wanted').val(), null, $('#ctm_uty_prc').val());

 

// add a product in the cart via ajax

"add : function(...........)"

...some code

 

data: 'controller=cart&add=1&ajax=true&qty=' + ((quantity && quantity != null) ? quantity : '1') + '&id_product=' + idProduct + '&token=' + static_token + ( (parseInt(idCombination) && idCombination != null) ? '&ipa=' + parseInt(idCombination): ''  + '&ctm_uty_prc=' + $("#cstm_txt").val())

 

and on the Cart.php

I was able to retrieve the value via "Tools::getValue('ctm_uty_prc')"

 

this was most on what I have i done, thanks to all that have help me on this..

>>>> to the next phase of the project..

Where exactly in the Cart.php did you retrieve the value of your field??? An Answer would really be appreciated. Thanks

[3cubes]

Nobody here who could give me an advice??

 

I have already changed ajax-cart.js file so when you click on buy button on product page the value of my custom input field ist also beeing sent, if I am not wrong, to the cart controller.

 

Now how can I fetch this value in controller file to use it further and save this value to databse (custom row in database is already created and ready) ???? I just want to save this value in cart_product table and show it along with the product in blockcart and cartsummary. Just like customization fields but I dont want to use them for certain reasons. Thank you very much

Edited April 8, 2014 by 3cubes (see edit history)

[jahyax]

in the Cart.php you could just use $variable = Tools:getValue('name_of_the_input');

[3cubes]

But when I change ajax-cart.js like you described I don't get my data send. Without ajax cart enabled data is send. But when I use ajax cart and change the file like above no other data is send to cart.php than the original data!???
