oscommerce 3.05 custom variants via $_GET

Randall Slack · 09-09-2009, 09:27 AM

hi all,

i'm trying to make some use out of a new feature in oscommerce http://blogs.oscommerce.com/2007/08/...custom-values/

what i would like to do is to have the custom value that can be manually given to each product come from the URL via the $_GET function.

till so far i have the idea that

PHP Code:



<?php echo $_GET["customvalue"]; ?>

should be included in

PHP Code:



$string .= '  <tr>' . 
                   '    <td width="100">' . $field['text'] . ':</td>' . 
                   '    <td>' . osc_draw_input_field('variants[' . $data['group_id'] . '][' . $field['id'] . ']', null, 'id="variants_' . $data['group_id'] . '_' . $i . '"') . '</td>' . 
                   '  </tr>'; 
      }

in the part below.
but till so far i have spend a few days trying to figure out how to do this and i have reached a definite mental block here, so if anybody has any pinters i's be much obliged.

Thanks anyway for reading this,

Randall

solved....................

problem was actually for the most part that i have oscommerce included inside a wordpress page, this works nice but the REAL URL for oscommerce turns out to be different then what is shown in the browser, makes sense but i just did not think of it..

after that it was simply fooling around a bit and i found that simply replacing , null, with , $_GET["customvalue"], does the trick.

PHP Code:



' <td width="100">' . $field['text'] . ' :</td>' . 
' <td>' . osc_draw_input_field('variants[' . $data['group_id'] . '][' . $field['id'] . ']', $_GET["customvalue"], 'id="variants_' . $data['group_id'] . '_' . $i . '"') . '</td>' . 
' </tr>';
