add to cart HTML link

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.121time.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5
-- PHP version -- : 7.0
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : all

Hello Team,

Question regarding the add to cart products, sure you can help

We use Yootheme Zoo to present our products (each previously created in Hikashop) with a tag or a link to add them to the shopping cart; we have a cart module in our sidebar A. We force also a menu on checkout in order to have the correct url we want.

When our products (in Zoo page in a text area) have an add to cart link which is a tag like {product XXXX|cart}, the product is added to the mini cart located on the sidebar and we stay on the same page, working absolutely fine. Then when we click on the ”Proceed to checkout” in the minicart, we go to the log in and checkout page and we have the correct displayed url like www.121time.com/cart/checkout

But if the products (for instance all the DELANCE watches in our watch shop) have the HTML link like

”index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=updatecart&quantity=1&checkout=1&product_id=74”

or even the new HTML link from Hika 3

" <a class="hikashop_html_add_to_cart_link" href=" 121time.com/index.php?option=com_hikasho...kout=1&product_id=74 ”>Add to cart</a>)"

the watches is also added to the cart but the new page is the checkout page with an url like www.121time.com/component/hikashop/checkout . We have the ”component/hikashop” in the url

Do you know why this (HIKA HTML) link doesn't add the product in the mini cart and stays on the same page, or why at least it doesn't "calls” the hidden cart menu in order the have the proper url for the checkout?

Of course we could just change the link for the tag {product XXXX|cart} in all our product pages, but since we have the same issue with the custom products we add in the cart, it would help us to understand first why this happens with "standards" products which have the HTML HIKA link also.

Thank you for your help

thanks Nicolas,

I have already selected the force menu on checkout and it works perfectly with all product with the tag {product XXXX|cart}

but it doesn't work with the product added to cart with the link HTML. I still have the wrong url with these products (components/hika...)

You can try to add these 2 different products to the cart to see the behaviour:

www.121time.com/watches/edmond/pure/edmo...steel-automatic-44mm

www.121time.com/watches/delance/l-acier-...ay-steel-quartz-26mm

The second has the HTML link.

thanks...

Works fine, as usual
thanks!

Hi Nicolas, maybe last question / explanation that would help please...

Why when I insert the tag {product XXXX|cart} I stay on the same page with the product added to the mini cart,
since when I enter the full HTML link I go directly on the checkout/log in page?

What would be the "add to cart" HTML link with the same effect than {product XXXX|cart}?

thanks for your help

JL

Understood thanks
