Hi

Can somebody point me in the right direction to add a cart to every page. I've tried integrating the "Cart Widget", but can't seem to get it to work.

I've successfully done this on a much older SilverStripe website, but it seems that with every revision of SS and the eCommerce module so much changes!

Thanks

Hi

I don't know the specifics of the cart but one option to explore would be to extend SiteConfig with a function that returns the cart. Then call the function from all of your pages, for example inside the "SideBar" template if you have one e.g. $SiteConfig.ShowCart.

There are some examples of extending SiteConfig over at SSBits.com here.

I would start by taking the code from the "Cart Widget" and putting it into a function inside a SiteConfig extension.

Thanks, Liam.

I have now sorted it. I decided against using the Cart Widget, as it didn't give me the detail which I needed. Instead, I copied the code from OrderInformation_Editable.ss to where I needed it, making a couple of minor changes, most importantly adding <% control SideCart %>

<table>
  <tbody>
    <% control SideCart %>
    <% if Items %>
    <% control Items %>
    <% if ShowInTable %>
    <tr id="$TableID" class="$Classes">
      <td<% if Link %><% else %> id="$TableTitleID"<% end_if %> class="product title" scope="row"><% if Link %>
        $Quantity x <a id="$TableTitleID" href="$Link" title="<% sprintf(_t("READMORE","Click here to read more on &quot;%s&quot;"),$TableTitle) %>">$TableTitle</a>
        <% else %>
        $Quantity x $TableTitle
        <% end_if %></td>
      <td<% if Link %><% else %> id="$TableTitleID"<% end_if %> class="product title" scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="right total" id="$TableTotalID">$Total.Nice</td>
      <td class="right remove"><strong> <a class="ajaxQuantityLink" href="$removeallLink" title="<% sprintf(_t("REMOVEALL","Remove all of &quot;%s&quot; from your cart"),$TableTitle) %>"> <img src="ecommerce/images/remove.gif" alt="x"/> </a> </strong></td>
    </tr>
    <% end_if %>
    <% end_control %>
    <tr class="gap summary">
      <td scope="row"><% _t("SUBTOTAL","Sub-total") %></td>
      <td scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="right" id="$TableSubTotalID">$SubTotal.Nice</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <% if Modifiers %>
    <% control Modifiers %>
    <% if ShowInTable %>
    <tr id="$TableID" class="$Classes">
      <td<% if Link %><% else %> id="$TableTitleID"<% end_if %> scope="row"><% if Link %>
        <a id="$TableTitleID" href="$Link" title="<% sprintf(_t("READMORE","Click here to read more on &quot;%s&quot;"),$TableTitle) %>">$TableTitle</a>
        <% else %>
        $TableTitle
        <% end_if %></td>
      <td<% if Link %><% else %> id="$TableTitleID"<% end_if %> scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
      <td<% if Link %><% else %> id="$TableTitleID"<% end_if %> scope="row"><span class="right">
        <% if IsChargable %>
        $Amount.Nice
        <% else %>
        -$Amount.Nice
        <% end_if %>
        </span></td>
      <td><span class="right remove">
        <% if CanRemove %>
        <strong> <a class="ajaxQuantityLink" href="$removeLink" title="<% sprintf(_t("REMOVE","Remove &quot;%s&quot; from your order"),$TableTitle) %>"> <img src="ecommerce/images/remove.gif" alt="x"/></a></strong>
        <% end_if %>
        </span></td>
    </tr>
    <% end_if %>
    <% end_control %>
    <% end_if %>
    <tr class="gap Total">
      <td scope="row"><% _t("TOTAL","Total") %></td>
      <td scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
      <td scope="row"><span class="right">$Total.Nice</span></td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <% else %>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="6" scope="row" class="center"><% _t("NOITEMS","There are <strong>no</strong> items in your cart.") %></td>
    </tr>
    <% end_if %>
    <% end_control %>
  </tbody>
</table>

After that, I added the following to mysite/Page.php

	public function SideCart() {
			return ShoppingCart::current_order();
	}
