Variable SKU, Price, Name

[bakerman]

I am having problems setting up a Variable item in Shopsite so I can add custom items / non-catalog items to a phone order. When I try to add the item it comes up with this error in the cart: "No variable price specified, item not added to the shopping cart." The only thing I can think of is that I am missing something in the product template I created for it. See the code I have been working on below

Code: Select all

<div id="skucart">

<p id="skucart-sku">Description: <input type="text" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:name" value="" /></p>
<p id="skucart-sku">SKU #: <input type="text" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:sku" value="" /></p>
<p id="skucart-price">Price: $<input type="text" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:price" value="" /></p>

<form action="[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL BASE --]/order.cgi" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="storeid" value="[-- STORE_ID --]" />
<input type="hidden" name="dbname" value="products" />
<input type="hidden" name="function" value="add" />
<input type="hidden" name="itemnum" value="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]" />

<table id="skucart-addtocart">
<tr>
<td class="addtocart-quantity">Qty: <input type="text" size="2" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:qnty" value="1" /></td>
<td class="addtocart-add"><input type="image" value="submit" src="/graphics/addtocart.gif" alt="Add to Cart" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</div>

Any ideas why this wouldn't be working? Thanks for any help!

Any ideas why this wouldn't be working?

Yes, it would be because your Name and Price form fields are not within the form. Only form fields after the <form action=...> and before the </form> will be submitted by the browser when that form's submit button is clicked.

So I need to specify the input types after the form:

Code: Select all

<form action="[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL BASE --]/order.cgi" method="post">

<p id="skucart-sku">Description: <input type="text" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:name" value="" /></p>
<p id="skucart-sku">SKU #: <input type="text" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:sku" value="" /></p>
<p id="skucart-price">Price: $<input type="text" name="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]:price" value="" /></p>

<input type="hidden" name="storeid" value="[-- STORE_ID --]" />
<input type="hidden" name="dbname" value="products" />
<input type="hidden" name="function" value="add" />
<input type="hidden" name="itemnum" value="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]" />

Yes.

It works perfectly. Now I have to find out how to remove the text "Variable -" in front of the items... I think I read about that somewhere.

I found it:

Another thing I was just thinking of. Is there a way to add a field for weight? There isn't a "variable weight" so we have to add an item called shipping charges. It would be easier, however, to add the weight when the variable item is added to the cart so the shipping will calculate correctly.

No, there is no way to pass a weight to the shopping cart for a variable item.

[bakerman]

So there are probably not many people who would like to pass weights to the cart... what are my chances of getting this written into the next upgrade of ShopSite?
