So I have the SimpleCart setup but when I add a product to the cart it takes me to the cart page. Is there a way I can add to cart without it taking me to that page? It will stay on the current page so I can add more products?

I think this is the code for it... or am I missing it and its in the schema somewhere?

<!-- add to cart -->
<?php
$formName = "addform" . $record['num'];
$cartItems = array(
array(
'name' => $record['name'],
'unitPrice' => $record['price'],
'recordNum' => $record['num'],
'tableOrTag' => '_sc_example_products',
'quantity=' => '_sc_quantity',
),
//array('name' => 'Color: Blue', 'OPTION' => TRUE),
//array('name' => 'Region: North', 'OPTION' => TRUE),
//array('name' => 'Size: Xl', 'OPTION' => TRUE),
);
?>
<form method="post" name="<?php echo $formName ?>" action="?">
<input type="hidden" name="_sc_action" value="add">
<?php sc_createAddFormData($cartItems); ?>

<input type="text2" name="_sc_quantity" size="5" maxlength="5" value="0" /><br/>
<a href="#" title="Add to Cart" class="addToCart" onclick="document.forms.<?php echo $formName ?>.submit(); return false;">Add to Cart</a><br />
</form>
<!-- /add to cart -->

So I just found a problem. It works where it returns me to domain.com/mainlink.php?

But if I'm in a section like domain.com/mainlink.php?categoryname# and click it, it returns me to domain.com/mainlink.php? doesn't leave me in the category.

Any ideas for returning me back to the category I was in?

I'm guessing because the value is "?"

Hey kdub,

You could add the category to the next_url. Like:

<input type="hidden" name="_sc_nextUrl" value="?<?php echo $category; ?>">


Or use the "REQUEST_URI" server variable

<input type="hidden" name="_sc_nextUrl" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>">

Hope that helps,

yah I didn't wanna do the value of category cause when the category changes it wouldn't work.

So the 2nd option work perfectly thanks.

I was chatting with dave and he said your the programmer that programmed the cart. So he said I should talk to you. I wanna remove the payment/paypal option. Basically just want the orders to be emailed.

Hi,

What is your setup right now? Is the user re-directed to Paypal on submit?

yah... All I want it to do is just email the order... no payment or anything

Hi,

What we can do is create a custom override function that tells the cart that the order has been paid (even though no payment has taken place), and then it follows through the normal process of sending out the emails.

One thing to note with this, is that it won't collect all the normal billing and shipping information that paypal gets for you. If you still need that information, we can set that up as well.

If you're interested in this, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we'll go over some options.

Thanks
