Include an Add to Cart and Qty button to products in category list

[PetreZo]

Hello everybody!

I have the same problem. In category list view I have many products but without the add to cart button, just image and description. My problem is that I would like to add the Add to cart button together with the Custom Fields, because at each product I have 4-5 different prices.
You can see what I am talking about on the following link:

Somebody can help me? Thanks.

I am trying to display add to cart button in category view with custom fields including cart child variants.

1. When I add the hack from this thread the custom field cart child variants do not display.

2. When I have the add to cart button by itself, it adds the parent to the cart.

3. If I just add the custom field hack it will display, but I cannot add to cart.

4. I found a hack from a custom template forum thread and it actually displays the custom fields however when I add a product to the cart it adds the product twice.

Here is the additional code:

Code Select Expand

<?php // Add To Cart Button
if (!VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog', 0) and !empty($product->prices)) {?>
<div class="FlexibleWebaddtocart-area">

<form method="post" class="product js-recalculate" action="index.php" >
<?php // Product custom_fields
if (!empty($product->customfieldsCart)) {  ?>
<div class="FlexibleWeb-product-fields">
<?php foreach ($product->customfieldsCart as $field)
{ ?>

                        <div style="text-align:left;" class="product-field product-field-type-<?php echo $field->field_type ?>">
<span class="product-fields-title" ><b><?php echo  JText::_($field->custom_title) ?></b></span>
<?php if ($field->custom_tip) echo JHTML::tooltip($field->custom_tip,  JText::_($field->custom_title), 'tooltip.png'); ?>

                            <span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>

<span class="product-field-desc"><?php echo $field->custom_field_desc ?></span>
</div>
<?php

?>
</div>
<?php }
 /* Product custom Childs

  * custom_value is relation value to child
  */
 
if (!empty($product->customsChilds)) {  ?>
<div class="product-fields">
<?php foreach ($product->customsChilds as $field) {  ?>
<div style="display:inline-block;float:right; padding:3px;" class="product-field product-field-type-<?php echo $field->field->field_type ?>">
<span class="product-fields-title" ><b><?php echo JText::_($field->field->custom_title) ?></b></span>
<span class="product-field-desc"><?php echo JText::_($field->field->custom_value) ?></span>
<span class="product-field-display"><?php echo $field->display ?></span>

</div>
<?php
} ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

<div class="Flexibleaddtocart-bar">

<?php // Display the quantity box ?>

$button_name = 'addtocart'; //$button_cls = 'addtocart_button';
 
 
// Display the add to cart button
$stockhandle = VmConfig::get('stockhandle','none');
if(($stockhandle=='disableit' or $stockhandle=='disableadd') and ($product->product_in_stock - $product->product_ordered)<1){

                            <?php } ?>

<input type="hidden" name="view" value="cart" />

<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_product_id[]" value="<?php echo $product->virtuemart_product_id ?>" />
<?php /** @todo Handle the manufacturer view */ ?>
<input type="hidden" name="virtuemart_manufacturer_id" value="<?php echo $product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id ?>" />

</form>


</div>
<?php }  // Add To Cart Button END ?>


I'm close but not smart enough to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

anybody have a actualy solution to display the custom child variants with add to card button on the category page, please ?

This is working if you have done what madking's solution suggested, not if you have used files from somewher in the thread! 

These are the steps:

1 Create a folder rootOfYourSite/templates/yourTemplate/html/com_virtuemart/category

Copy into this:-

2 default.php from com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl 
3 default_addtocart.php from components/com/virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl

4 Rename default_addtocart.php to something sensible e.g. addtocartCategory.php  works for me

5 In the new file addtocartCategory.php replace $this->product with $product

6 Now go to the copied  default.php (the browse view for a category) and add the new add to cart template (button etc.) in the position you want
Do this somewhere between

// Show Products  and <!-- end of product -->

Using the code

Code Select Expand


<?php include 'addtocartCategory.php'; ?>

The category add to cart should then perform the same as the product add to cart.
