Adding product to shopping cart from a custom module page

[senso321]

Dear all,

 

i got a very interesting question for you all. How am I able to add a product from a custom moduel page to shopping cart?

All my products info comes from a database where they are linked with ID-s. Im able to get all the information regarding the product with simple database and php calls, but how am i able to pass the product info into shopping cart so my client can make a purasche ?

 

There is no information available regarding this question. Also i have checked classes/cart.php and controllers/front/cartcontroller.php for such functions, but there seems to be nothing like that to achieve my goal.

 

Help me please

This is almost like a habit with my topics.

 

Here is the solution

 

		$Cart = $this->context->cart;
		$Cart->updateQty($quantity, $id_product, $id_product_attribute = null, $id_customization = false, $operator = 'up', $id_address_delivery = 0, $shop = null, $auto_add_cart_rule = true);

Hi,

 

I'm trying to do the same thing and came across your post.  Can you elaborate more on how to do this?  is the above code what's needed to grab the product information and throw it in the cart?  Can you show a more full example please?

Thanks!

What do you want to know.

$Cart = $this->context->cart;

This line get's the cart context from cookies ( all the info relevant to cart - it's id and so on )
And the 2nd line

$Cart->updateQty($quantity, $id_product, $id_product_attribute = null, $id_customization = false, $operator = 'up', $id_address_delivery = 0, $shop = null, $auto_add_cart_rule = true);

Uses updateQty function located in classes/cart.php . As we are developing by OOP then we can use it to simply pass the product info to cart. You have to provide quantity - $quantity, product id - $id_product and attribute combinaion ( if you are using combinations ) - $id_product_attribute.

Im personally using it within a ajax file within a foreach loop to pass all the related products ( when certain conditions are met ) to the cart.

DO you have any idea how to get the cart of a client?

[vekia]

$cart = new Cart($id);

 

where $id is a cart of your client.

How are you handling the product sizes? like there can be a small, medium or large product. Where are you giving those ids?
