Edit options at basket page

[afiumano]

I am trying to implement the "EDIT OPTIONS AT BASKET PAGE" steps as outlined on this page: https://support.miva.com/supportsuit...he-basket-page. I tried it on a client's store and wasn't able to get it working so I tried it on my dev store and couldn't get it working there either.

I am not quite sure what is wrong since I tried to follow the steps.

I was able to get the 'Edit Options' link to appear on both the dev site and client site, but when I clicked nothing happened. The popup didn't appear.

This is a link to the dev store with a product with an attribute: http://dts2290.mivamerchantdev.com/m...uct_Code=000AN

Re: Edit options at basket page

Your code is making the AJAX call to the page to call it in, but not getting the correct response. Did you make all the changes required in the article/

Checkout the example link and see what the working example should be returning.

Re: Edit options at basket page

I got this somewhat working. The popup now works but it is not functioning properly. When you change the attributes in the popup it is not removing the existing product and adding the new one. If you reload the page, it will simply add a new product with your new selection.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Re: Edit options at basket page

I've been wanting to implement this for a while, and now it's Tinker Friday. We've used the Sebenza module for years.

I followed the docs and got everything working and playing nice. Problem I'm having though is when there are multiple items in the cart with options. I can edit the first item just fine. Anything after the first item causes an error. Not a visible error on the page, it just doesn't do anything.

Console Log:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null
(anonymous function) @ VM717:4
(anonymous function) @ jquery.min.js:2
n.extend.globalEval @ jquery.min.js:2
n.fn.extend.domManip @ jquery.min.js:3

n.Callbacks.j @ jquery.min.js:2
n.Callbacks.k.fireWith @ jquery.min.js:2
x @ jquery.min.js:4
n.ajaxTransport.send.b @ jquery.min.js:4

I tried the demo from the link in the docs, but the function doesn't seem to be working anymore. So does this work with multiple items with options in the basket? I'm using basket:items, do I need to switch to basket:groups? Maybe I just need to tinker some more...

Yea, its too bad no one would build a module to do this in seconds...but, that's what everyone wanted so...tinker on!

Hey Bruce!

Why don't you build a module for this? Seems like it should be a built in feature, but a module would do for me. I'm probably good for 2-3 licenses.

Re: Edit options at basket page

Actually, I've written modules that can do this, but always as part of some larger project. You can drop me a line by email, and let's talk about a solution for you.

Ron,

The reality is that while some store owners like yourself, even though competent at doing template changes, understand the value of paying a couple of bucks to save themselves time, most do not.

It's at times interesting (like after a few drinks) that the same folks who justify spending 7-12 bucks for coffee cause it's convenient, can't be convinced to spend 40/60 bucks to save tens of hours of work.

While not immensely complicated, this module would probably take about 10K to develop (mostly because of our high standards)...at 50 each, we'd break even at 200 copies...and the days of any module selling that many (aside from free ones) are gone.

This reality also means that everyone has to wait for Miva to add whatever feature THEY need/want. But, the 'market' has spoken and for the most part, the market want's EVERYTHING built in.

Re: Edit options at basket page

My custom modules rarely cost $10,000; most are in the $300 to $1000 range. My standards are high enough that I get very few complaints, and plenty of repeat business.

Sorry, Bruce, I don't mean to start an argument or criticize anyone. It may be that your clients tend to be larger companies with big budgets, whereas I work more with the smaller businesses. I just want to make sure that readers understand that your numbers don't represent the whole custom-module market.

Thanks --

Fortunately here in my case I'm not the store owner. I'm just the "Web Dude" who gets to sit at a desk and figure this kind of stuff out. But I also know the value of my time, even just as a "store integrator?". We have 5 different companies here running Miva. It's a lot of work to manage 5 sites, and I don't do any of the order processing, shipping or customer service.

I agree with you completely. Store owners should spend their valuable time running their business. Not trying to figure this kind of stuff out. Seems like most of the time they end up breaking things and then blaming the software. Then in the end need to hire a developer to fix it for them. What a waste of time.

Re: Edit options at basket page

I just use the "Store Owner" as the generic for 'Who's making the decisions'...but yea, I know what you mean. We will use another developers module when it saves time without second thought. If there is one rule successful businesses have to learn, it is:

Time is the only finite constraint a business has. EVERYTHING else is malleable.

Has anyone successfully implemented this? I tried to go to the test link in the directions but it no longer works. This was it (http://tguefen.mivamerchantdev.com/m...olidays-candle)

[Ron Frigon]

I've implemented this at one of our sites. Here's an item you can add to cart and edit: https://www.gpencil.com/product/PAINTED-NEON.php

This is not a standard implementation, but I was able to follow the attached procedure.

[Kent Multer]

I have a module for this. Drop me a line.

[afiumano]

Ron, what makes yours non-standard? I found one glitch that isn't huge: if you click "Edit Options" but don't make any changes and hit "Save my Changes" the item actually gets removed from the cart. Just curious if that has caused you any problems and if anyone knows a fix for it?

I am just trying to figure out which method is easier for the customer: Kent's module where it goes back to the product page or having the popup like in Ron's.
