Conditional to check if specific item is in the cart

[mstella1]

How can I check to see if a specific item is in the cart? I've been so dependent on toolkit I feel lost lately not being able to use it :)

I need to check to see if this item is in the cart. If it is I need to hide something so it isn't confusing to the customer.

The product code is MM_MAGMAIL

I know this code below doesn't work, I just needed a simple way to explain what I was attempting - LOL!

<mvt:if expr="'MM_MAGMAIL' GT 0">
It's in the cart
<mvt:else>
It's not in the cart
</mvt:if>

P.S. Sorry for all the posts lately - scrambling to get a new product line out and it has so many variables it's maddening. I do appreciate all of the help!

<mvt:if expr="'l.settings:group:code EQ 'MM_MAGMAIL'">

should work

Thanks Bruce, it's not working for me.

<mvt:if expr="'l.settings:group:code' EQ 'MM_MAGMAIL'">
It's in the cart
<mvt:else>
It's not in the cart
</mvt:if>

Just so I give you all the information this is on a product page if that matters.

oh, sorry, yea that's a whole nother ballpart.

you need to add something like this to the mini-basket items list (where that is depends on framework/version/etc

mvt:if expr="l.settings:group:code EQ 'your-code'
mvassign name="g.itsInTheBasket" value="'yes'"
/mvt:if

then look for g.itsInTheBasket as in

mvt:if expr="g.itsInTheBasket"
do something
/mvt:if

Ok thanks, I need to step away for the night - getting syntax errors and my brain is fried :)

<mvt:if expr="'l.settings:group:code' EQ 'MM_MAGMAIL'">
<mvt:assign name="g.itsInTheBasket" value="yes">
</mvt:if>

<mvt:if expr="'g.itsInTheBasket'">
It's in the cart
<mvt:else>
It's not in the cart
</mvt:if>

You're running this within the Items foreach loop in the basket?

<mvt:if expr="'l.settings:group:code' EQ 'MM_MAGMAIL'">
<mvt:assign name="g.itsInTheBasket" value="yes">
</mvt:if>

If so, what framework are you running? For example, in shadows, you put this in the Global Mini-Basket right after

<mvt:foreach iterator="item" array="global_minibasket:groups">
and use l.settings:item:code


(the thing with foreach loops is that they 'interator' becomes the base array branch for expressing variables. For example, if you had

<mvt:foreach iterator="whatever" array="global_minibasket:groups">

then the variable would be l.settings:whatever:code or l.settings:whatever:price, etc.

I'm using CSSUI framework. Again thanks for the help, I admit I am out of my element here.

On the product page I am working on I need to see if MM_MAGMAIL is in the cart.

<mvt:foreach iterator="item" array="basket:items">
<mvt:if expr="'l.settings:item:product:code' EQ 'MM_MAGMAIL'">
It's in the cart
<mvt:else>
It's not in the cart
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
