What if I want to add another variable (a small additional piece of information) to be sent? How do I configure opencart 1.5x to do that?

Basically I want to send something similar to:

<form action="http://st3vieb.com/store/index.php?route=checkout/cart" id="personalVirtualPrivateServerForm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="80">
<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="info" value="whatever">
<a href="#" class="link" onClick="document.getElementById('personalVirtualPrivateServerForm').submit()">Purchase</a>
</form>

and have open cart receive product_id, quantity and info variables.

Is there a simple module that I could use that allows me to pass product_id, quantity and another variable (info) straight to the cart from a form/external link?

The only way I can see this working is if you have an option on the product set-up as a text input.

You should then be able to figure out what variable to send over

<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="XX">
<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

where XX is the product ID number and 'yoursite' is obviously the domain of your shop.

When I do this in 1.5.2.1, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

I'm not sure why this is happening. Any thoughts?

Check this post out, and see if it helps: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=55340
It isn't exactly the same thing, but it gets the same result.

naturesfootprint wrote:Excellent! that works for getting the item into the cart and defining a quantity, but I can't figure out how to set up the variable option. I've got a product with three color options and somewhere the customer needs to select that color.
