after a few test i found this solution:
!!!try this solution at your own risk!!! 
first backup your opencart db and installation!
in the file opencart\catalog\controller\category.php
line 72 add:
then line 79 add:
then line 80 add:
Code: Select all
$view->set('action_cart', $url->href('product', FALSE, $query));
now in the file opencart\catalog\template\category.tpl
add "" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">" after "" line
then add "" />
" after "" line before ""
it seems to work

could you post the code around those "added" codes of yours? so we can find it with a better ease.

Oops, there is a bug. It sometimes works and other times it doesn't
I haven't figured out when the bug happens.

OK. I found the bug. The bug was me not following instructions precisely
Line 72 is under
$product_data[] = array(
Silly me put it in the wrong place
