Stacking up cart items

[danny]

Is it possible to not have the pop-up window show every time you "add to cart"? In a ticket selling situation, it would be a better user experience to select all the seats you want without having the pop-up each time, and then just "Show cart" or "Checkout" to finish. If not, then if I have to 'remember' all the selected seats in my web page code, can an order be entered for multiple items? Each seat number is an 'item' in this case.

Thanks,

The second option, where your site is "remembering" all the selected seats before putting all of them into the shopping cart at once, sounds like the best approach.



It would take custom programming on your end to create a script to remember all of the selected seats and then insert that into a multiAdd array that will add several products to our cart in one click.



Because this would involve outside programming and using an unsupported "hack" of our button code there's not a lot we can do to specifically point you in the right direction, but you can refer to this forum post for an idea about how a button can be set up to insert several products at once:

Thanks for the topic reference, must have missed that in my search. That's what I will do then is build up a long string and use the multiAdd. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to process. I will report back when finished so others can see how to do it.

As promised, here is the php code to do multiple entries:

<?php

if (isset($_GET["seat"])) {

$pick= "&on0=Show Date&os0=$showday &on1=Seat&os1=$seat";

$pick = "https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=999999&cl=999999&ejc=2".$pick;

if ($SESSION["seatcnt"]==1) { $SESSION["order"]=$pick; } else

{$SESSION["order"]= $SESSION["order"]."','".$pick; }

}

?>

<a href="javascript:EJEJC_multiAdd(Array('<?php echo $_SESSION["order"]; ?>'));">Buy Them</a>



Of course you have to do a session_start, setup the seat counter and get the variables of show and seat number in other parts of the code.

Thanks for posting that here, it's a very helpful reference for anyone else who wants to try something similar.
