Multi-Product Add To Cart Button reloads page

Well, Matt was saying you need to build your own...so...every developer is different, but for things like this, i find it easier to rebuild stuff on my own rather than trying to figure out how someone else wrote something.

I've moved this conversation over to the Colossus forum https://www.miva.com/forums/forum/de...n-on-ctgy-page so hopefully, I can get back on track with the correct ReadyTheme. One of the reasons I'm not trying to build my own is that I thought the whole reasoning behind the use of these latest released ReadyThemes was to have some sort of consistency in coding, along with plug & play abilities. It was also my understanding that Shadows and Colossus "may" be part of the underpinnings of Miva 10.

Hi Leslie,

In Colossus, if you changed the body ID for the category page the page would die a horrible death, many errors would be thrown, and mayhem would ensue. Since I have not released a quick-view or multi-Ajax-add extension for the new ReadyThemes, you would have to develop your own code for controlling the form. Those extensions are in the queue, however they won't be worked on until next year.

Curiosity got to me, I changed the body ID (in Colossus) for this page I'm trying to makeover. It didn't kill it but it still doesn't stay on the page when clicked add to cart. This wasn't a multi-add attempt, just an add to cart button for every product.

On a side note, I had been sent an ajax snippet but it looks like it completely "redraws" the mini-basket. Is that how the ajax-add-to-cart.js handles the add to cart? It doesn't look like it.

Okay, it's probably time for me to move this conversation to the Colossus Forum. I'm asking way too many Colossus related questions.

Hi Leslie,

That may be a good course of action.

Thanks. I am so close but sooooo far away.

Sigh, it's needed yesterday. Should I contact Professional Services?

Hi Leslie,

You would have to utilize JavaScript for this; something akin to the standard AJAX Add to Cart. To the best of my knowledge, none of the ReadyThemes have this functionality built into a category page.

Hey Matt, I am reworking this into Colossus (it's enabling me to do a few nifty things with the mini-basket) but I'm still stuck on the add to cart thing. What would happen if I changed the body ID to js-PROD?

I had previously posted my question as part of another question and felt it might be better to separate them.

The store is using the EmporiumPlus Toolkit to create the ability to order from the CTGY page. I am updating the page to be able to use the Multi-Product Add To Cart Button (using the coding from here). The only problem with the coding is that it reloads the page giving the appearance that the page is "jumping" back to the top.them.

Is there a way to convert this into something that will not make the page "jump" but if it has to reload, it reloads back to the product or products that were last added to the cart?

<form method="post" action="&mvte:global:sessionurl;Screen=CTGY">
  <input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPM">
  <input type="hidden" name="Category_Code" value="&mvte:global:Category_Code;" />
  <table class="subcat">
    <tr>
      <td colspan="4"><a name="&mvt:sub_category2:code;"></a>
        <h2 style="margin-bottom:4px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:16px;"><!-- &mvt:sub_category2:name;-->&mvt:sub_category2:name;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #FF0000; color:#FFFF00;"><font size="2"> </font><a href="/&mvt:category:code;.html#top"> <font size="2" color="#FFFF00">Back to top</font></a>&nbsp;</span></h2></td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="red-bg">
      <td></td>
      <td><b>Name</b></td>
      <td><b>Price</b></td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_product" array="sub_products">
      <tr valign="top">
        <td><mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:sub_product:thumbnail"> <img src="&mvte:sub_product:thumbnail;" alt="&mvt:sub_product:name;" title="&mvt:sub_product:name;">
            <mvt:else>
            &nbsp; </mvt:if></td>
        <td>&mvt:sub_product:name;</td>
        <td>&mvt:sub_product:formatted_price;</td>
        <td class="item-buttons" style="text-align:right;"><input type="hidden" name="Products[ &mvt:sub_product:id; ]:code" value="&mvte:sub_product:code;">
          <input type="text" name="Products[ &mvt:sub_product:id; ]:quantity" value="0"></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="4" style="border-bottom:#000 solid 1px;"></td>
      </tr>
    </mvt:foreach>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3"><input type="submit" value="Add to Basket"></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

Or is there a better ReadyTheme to consider? The site is rather "customized".
