Hi!
I will be very greatful for some advice.
We will have a add for a book on Facebook. And we want to add it automatically to cart when link i clicked in the add? Is it possible? So when they click on add, they should come to a page to just add shipping information.

Is it possible?
Best regards Ulrika

You need to add some variable to your link and then process it, when page loads. For example, your link can look like this:

Code: Select all

http://yourstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1&action=add

This link will open your product page, but there's "action" variable here and you need to capture it. Just add a code to controller/product/product.php, which will check for "action" variable in the link:

Code: Select all

if ($this->request->get['action']) {
// Do stuff
}

If variable is found, add this product to cart. Guess, something like this should work:

Code: Select all

$this->cart->add($this->request->get['product_id']);

Then you can redirect the visitor anywhere you want. For example, to cart page:

Code: Select all

$this->response->redirect($this->url->link('checkout/cart'));

This is a very simple example, which will add 1 pc of a single product without any options. For more complex task you'll dig a little deeper and expand your code.
