Injecting articles into cart

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8

Hi,

For a customer I build a form to inject products in the cart from another page, outside Hikashop. It works fine for the most part, products are being added to the cart correctly.

There is only one problem:
If someone does not have a cart yet, before the injection, people only see the added products if they log out and log back in again. So if they do not logout first, they do not see the cart with the added products.

So if someone already had a cart, the products are visible right away in the cart.

Can you advise me how to show the (new) cart without requiring the user to log out first?

Thanks for your help!

HI Nicolas,

Thanks for your reply.

At this moment I use a regular sql update or import function to get the data into the hikashop_cart and hikashop_cart_product tables.

Should I use the initCart function in some way to make sure the user does not need to login to see the updated cart? Can you give a hint how to go about it?

Thanks.
