Hey David I am trying to create a cart on my site and I am doing some custom programming. I was wondering if there is a global insert function in PT that I could use.
The main insert function is admin__importRecordHandler() in includes/admin.php which handles each record of a feed as it is processed by the parser. Strictly speaking there is no reason why it cannot be called via a simple wrapper that also sets the relevant global variables, for example something like:
That may be the sort of thing you're after, bear in mind that "cart" details are typically per customer and would be maintained in their own right - I was wondering if you might have been after something along the lines of the shortlist feature described in this thread...
Hi DSmith,
The main insert function is admin__importRecordHandler() in includes/admin.php which handles each record of a feed as it is processed by the parser. Strictly speaking there is no reason why it cannot be called via a simple wrapper that also sets the relevant global variables, for example something like:
<?phpfunction insert_product($merchant,$name,$description,$image_url,$buy_url,$price,$category,$brand)
{
global $admin_importFeed;
$admin_importFeed = array(
"field_merchant" => "merchant",
"field_name" => "name",
"field_description" => "description",
"field_image_url" => "image_url",
"field_buy_url" => "buy_url",
"field_price" => "price",
"field_category" => "category",
"field_brand" => "brand"
)
$record = array(
"merchant" => $merchant,
"name" => $name,
"description" => $description,
"image_url" => $image_url,
"buy_url" => $buy_url,
"price" => $price,
"category" => $category,
"brand" => $brand
)
admin__importRecordHandler($record);
}
?>
That may be the sort of thing you're after, bear in mind that "cart" details are typically per customer and would be maintained in their own right - I was wondering if you might have been after something along the lines of the shortlist feature described in this thread...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
