Magento 1.9 Ajax Cart – Add a Text or Variable

ajaxcartmagento-1.9

I want to show a custom text under "Your product is added to the cart"

example: your product price is 45€, if you buy another item your shipping it will be free !

i tried to add a variable in cartcontroller.php but doesn't work,…what can I do?

thanks in advance

Update

if (!$this->_getSession()->getNoCartRedirect(true)) {
                if (!$cart->getQuote()->getHasError()){
                    $message = $this->__( $this->__('%s was added to your shopping cart.') .'<br/><br/> <button class="button" onclick="setLocation(\''.Mage::getUrl('checkout/cart').'\');"><span><span>'. $this->__('View Cart') .'</span></span></button><button class="button" onclick="setLocation(\''.Mage::helper('checkout/url')->getCheckoutUrl().'\');"><span><span>'. $this->__('Checkout') .'</span></span></button>', Mage::helper('core')->escapeHtml($product->getName()));
                    $response['status'] = 'SUCCESS';
                    $response['message'] = $message;

                    $this->loadLayout();

this is the original part of cartcontroller.php,in this part of code after "%s was added to your shopping cart" i want to add a variable with the text inside.

i tried

$message = $this->__( $this->__('%s was added to your shopping cart.') echo"text";

or simply

    $mytext="mytext";    
$message = $this->__('%s was added to your shopping cart.'); echo $mytext;

Best Answer

Try

$mytext="mytext";
$productName = Mage::helper('core')->htmlEscape($product->getName());
$message = $this->__('%s was added to your shopping cart.', $productName) . ' ' . $this->__($mytext);

$message = $this->__('%s was added to your shopping cart.'); - assign a string to a variable.

echo $mytext; - Output info to screen

Magento – Cart link or cart Button using magento API

The link you're describing is created using the users local session. As far as I know it's impossible to access this through the SOAP API.

Instead use the Checkout SOAP API to add a product to cart. Documentation on that can be found here.

This does mean however that you will need to place some of your own code in between that shows the user an add to cart button and calls the API when the users clicks it

Magento 1.9 – How to Empty Cart and Add Product Via Link

You will need to go a little fancy for this. Extend the cart controller in your module and add some function, lets say it singlecartAction. It will look something like this :

public function singlecartAction() {
    $cart   = $this->_getCart();
    $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();

    Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->truncate();

    try {
        if (isset($params['qty'])) {
            $filter = new Zend_Filter_LocalizedToNormalized(
                array('locale' => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode())
            );
            $params['qty'] = $filter->filter($params['qty']);
        }

        $product = $this->_initProduct();
        $related = $this->getRequest()->getParam('related_product');

        if (!$product) {
            $this->_goBack();
            return;
        }

        $cart->addProduct($product, $params);
        if (!empty($related)) {
            $cart->addProductsByIds(explode(',', $related));
        }

        $cart->save();

        $this->_getSession()->setCartWasUpdated(true);

        Mage::dispatchEvent('checkout_cart_add_product_complete',
            array('product' => $product, 'request' => $this->getRequest(), 'response' => $this->getResponse())
        );

        if (!$this->_getSession()->getNoCartRedirect(true)) {
            if (!$cart->getQuote()->getHasError()) {
                $message = $this->__('%s was added to your shopping cart.', Mage::helper('core')->escapeHtml($product->getName()));
                $this->_getSession()->addSuccess($message);
            }
            $this->_goBack();
        }
    } catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
        if ($this->_getSession()->getUseNotice(true)) {
            $this->_getSession()->addNotice(Mage::helper('core')->escapeHtml($e->getMessage()));
        } else {
            $messages = array_unique(explode("\n", $e->getMessage()));
            foreach ($messages as $message) {
                $this->_getSession()->addError(Mage::helper('core')->escapeHtml($message));
            }
        }

        $url = $this->_getSession()->getRedirectUrl(true);
        if ($url) {
            $this->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);
        } else {
            $this->_redirectReferer(Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCartUrl());
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        $this->_getSession()->addException($e, $this->__('Cannot add the item to shopping cart.'));
        Mage::logException($e);
        $this->_goBack();
    }
}

Basically, I just combined functions of emptying the cart and adding product to the cart. You can wrap some try-catch around it and remove some extra code if you want.
