(SOLVED) Regarding a particular category - How to add text to shopping cart

[chrissie]

Hi
When products from one particular category are ordered, customer orders will be slightly delayed. I intend to put text around the site informing customers of this, but I want to know if it's possible to put some text in the shopping cart so that if they add items from this category, there's a reminder there also.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance

You could add something like this at line 48 of shopping-cart.tpl in your theme's directory:

{foreach from=$products item=product}
   {if $product.id_category_default == 2}
       {assign var='delay' value='1'}
   {/if}
{/foreach}
{if $delay}There will be a delay in your order.{/if}

This code relies on the default category of the products being the one that causes the delay.

Hi
Thanks Rocky, that does work, but I had to put in the SUB-category ID. It doesn't work with the MAIN category ID. How can I get it to work from the main category, or how can I add all the necessary sub-categories? (there are quite a few!)

I'm not sure what you mean by the Main category. Do you mean the Home category? It has an ID of 1. You can add as many IDs as your want to the code using OR:

{foreach from=$products item=product}
   {if $product.id_category_default == 2 OR $product.id_category_default == 3}
       {assign var='delay' value='1'}
   {/if}
{/foreach}
{if $delay}There will be a delay in your order.{/if}
