Extra required product when selecting an item

Hey Nicolas,

first of all; the great compliments of building such a great shopping cart! It is really well thought. Keep going on

now my question; I am building a webshop for a mudflap company where they can sell mudflaps (see www.beuze.com/_A/spatlappen )
Now here is the thing: When someone orders one or more mudflaps a 115euro a piece, there have to be set up costs to design the mudflaps: This is a standard amount of 30 euro per design (no matter whether they order 1, 10 or 1000 mudflaps). Is there an option that there will automatically be an item 'graphic design mudflap' of 30 euro's put in the shopping cart per order of mudflaps?

I could not find the option in the documentation..

hope to hear from you,

kind regards,
Han

hey Nicolas,

thanks for your reply. I guess we also handle the shipping, so it will be the last option. Can you tell me exactly how to put a extra product at the checkout like you said?

regards!

ok, and what is the string then for 'the mudflap product'?

for example: the product 'graphical_setup' will only be adjusted only when someone orders a product from the mudflap category.

ok, that makes sense. Where do I have to put the code exactly in de file 'cart' of the checkout view? And do I have to add any more PHP code before or after the code you placed here above?

thanks for you reply!

I can get it work with the first code you gave, but not with the second code; it does not load the product 'setup' when I order a product from the category mudflap. And it messes up my template after adjusting the code..

This is what I added after the first <?php

$already = false; 
$ids = array(); 
foreach($this->rows as $i => $row){ 
 if($row->product_code =='setup') $already = true; 
 $ids[]=$row->product_id; 
} 
$db=&JFactory::getDBO(); 
$db->setQuery('SELECT * FROM '.hikashop::table('product_category').' WHERE product_id IN ('.implode(',',$ids).') AND category_id=12'); 
$entry = $db->loadResult(); 
if(!$already && !empty($result)){ 
 $app =& JFactory::getApplication(); 
 $app->redirect(hikashop::completeLink('product&task=updatecart&product_id=106&quantity=1&add=0&return='.urlencode(base64_encode(hikashop::currentUrl())))); 
}

Now it is working; but only when I put a lower level product category..How can I add another (top)product category with subcategories with products in it?

for example:
One top-category mudflaps = 12

2 lower level categories under top-category mudflaps (12):
mudflaps for trucks = 13
mudflaps for trailers = 14

I want the extra product shown for products both in categories 13 en 14 for example.

It works perfectly!

ok, latest question what if for every item they put on the cart (no matter the amount), an extra amount of the setup product will be adjusted?

so 1 piece of a mudflap for a trailer (= 1 setup product)
and 1 (or 2 or 3) pieces of a mudflap for a car (= so that will make 2 setup products; one for every item on the cart).

thanks, but unfortunately it's not working; it messes up the template again & it does not add any extra product from the loaded categories. Something wrong with the quantity string?

regards!

offcourse:

main website: www.beuze.com/_A/
Category 15: www.beuze.com/_A/spatlappen/Voor%20bumpers
Category 16: www.beuze.com/_A/spatlappen/Voor%20wielkasten
extra product: www.beuze.com/_A/spatlappen/Voor%20bumpe...p/category_pathway-0

regards!

Hey Nicolas,

ok, I don't know how to do that with the php.ini, so i decide that I'll try it with the latest working solution. When this is not suffient anymore, I'll come back on this topic.
thanks for all the help!
