Adding multiple Items to the shop basket at once

Monday 11 September 2006 3:58:14 pm

Is this possible in 3.8? I saw this old hack from Björn http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/adding_multiple_items_to_the_shop_basket_at_once but I will need product options support.

Failing that I would then look at adding options and an add to basket button to each product in line view.

Has anyone had experience in this area?

We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

Hi,

I did something similar with another application. I used AJAX to simulate the calls into the application.

Basically - you set up a template that has a check box or an opportunity for the site visitor to enter a quantity. After they update the quantity, you send the data to eZ - as if you are adding items to the cart. If the delete items, you remove them.

Be prepared to keep a client side version of the cart contents.

When the site visitor is done shopping, the transition to the cart is really just a 'view basket'.

Good luck.

In case this might be helpful to others,

Here's another solution to add more than 1 item at once to the basket (from within a PHP module in this case):

Use the traditional way to add one unit like this:

$operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute( 'shop', 'addtobasket', array( 'basket_id' => $basket->attribute( 'id' ), 'object_id' => $contentobjectID,'option_list' => $optionList ) );

and then, add a call to adjust the quantity like this:

eZShopOperationCollection::addQuantity( $contentobjectID, $quantity-1 );

you need to add the following code to your kernel/shop/ezshopoperationcollection.php:

	function addQuantity( $objectID, $quantity )
	{
		$object = eZContentObject::fetch( $objectID );
        $basket =& eZBasket::currentBasket();
        $collection =& $basket->attribute( 'productcollection' );
		$collectionItems =& $collection->itemList( false );
		foreach ( $collectionItems as $item )
		{
			/* For all items in the basket which have the same object_id: */
			if ( $item['contentobject_id'] == $objectID )
			{
				$itemID = $item['id'];
				$prodline = eZProductCollectionItem::fetch( $itemID );
                $prodline->setAttribute( 'item_count', $quantity + $prodline->attribute( 'item_count' ) );
                $prodline->store();
			}
		}
	}

Of course, this would not be needed if there were a quantity parameter in the AddToBasket function...
