Order Anywhere AddtoCart URL modifications

[David Fortner]

I am a web developer using ShopSite for a client of ours. I want to know how
I could modify the URL below to add a quantity of 2 (or X) for a particular
product instead of just quantity 1. This URL is an Order Anywhere link for
adding a particular item to the shopping cart:

http://tailsinneed.com/shopsite_sc/shop ... =*12e4feb8
d7050a78c741fd&dbname=products&itemnum=6&function=add

Is this possible?

THANK YOU

If you are using v5 or later then it is possible, but not just by modifying the
URL of the href. If you have v6 or newer, go to Products, select the product you
want to do this for, then hit Edit Product Layout. Check the checkbox setting
for "Display Order Quantity:", save the changes, and then go to OrderAnywhere
and view the html for the button of the product which you just modified. You
will note that instead of just an href, the order buttons are now in a form, and
the quantity value is a text field with a default value of 1. If you don't want
the shopper to be able to change the quantity, change it from a type=text to
type=hidden and set it's value to whatever number you want to add to the cart at
a time.

In v5 you can still use this method and the per-product setting is in the same
place, but the OrderAnywhere feature will not show you the form, you will have
to assign the product to a test ShopSite-generated page that is using one of the
ShopSite default templates and Publish and look at the source of that page to
see how it is done.

You can also pass the pull-down menu selections into the cart from store pages
in the same manner. The setting for that is in the same Product Layout screen
right below the quantity setting mentioned previously, and it is called "Display
Ordering Options:"

Thanks for the response. I am using 6.1.1 Starter for this client.
Unfortunately I think I need the functionality in a single URL because we
are using a separate cgi script to process the Registration form, then based
on a variable (how many event checkboxes the user selects) the script would
redirect the browser to the ShopSite shopping cart with that quantity of
Registration fee "product". Here's the link for reference:

http://www.tailsinneed.com/event1.html (click on Registration in the blue
box)

How about if we put a hidden text field for the quantity on this
registration form page (javascript updated based on how many check boxes are
selected), then when the form is submitted it will redirect the browser with
an add-to-cart and a quantity value? No wouldn't work because at this point
I need to use the ShopSite scripts to generate the shopping cart values,
right? Any other ideas? Thanks again!

David,
You might look into the multi-product add-to-cart option. This requires
a custom page and product template but it could do the ordering part of
the screen you show. I don't know how you would get the other
information like name, address etc. Here is the url for help on the
multi-add functionality.

Thank Jim. I'll check this out as a solution. I was hoping for an easy URL
modification to solve it but I guess that's not going to happen. Thanks for
your help.

Loren,

I do NOT get a "Display Order Quantity" option when I Edit Product Layout.
Could this be a disabled feature of ShopSite Starter? Thanks,

Yes, displaying the quantity and pull-down options on a
ShopSite-generated store page or in the OrderAnywhere linker is a
Manager or Pro feature only, however I imagine the form submit would
still work for Starter, you would just need to look somewhere else
(maybe one of the demo store's on shopsite.com?) for an example of the
correct form values.
