Hello Monks,

I'm modifying some code to allow me to have duplicate items in a shopping cart with different values.

For example, let's say you want to buy a green sweater and the same sweater in blue. Right now, if I go to my items an add the sweater as a green color and then go and try to add the same sweater as a blue, the blue sweater appears in the cart and not the green. Apparently, my coding only allows one entry for each item. The cart does not allow to have the same item appear more than once.

I was hoping someone can give me some help.

Here's all the code that's needed for the cart.

This code calls for the Add choice...
elsif ($choice eq "add") # add item to shopping cart { add_item ($dbh, $cart_ref, param ("item_id"), param("quantity"), p +aram("color")); $page .= format_cart_html ($cart_ref, 1); }
This code shows the products and adds to the cart...
sub get_product_table { my $sth = shift; my @row; my @nav_link; my @color; while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ()) { my $serve_url = sprintf ("serve_image.cgi?item_id=%s;picture", es +cape ($ref->{item_id})); @color = split (/,/, $ref->{color}); # generate a form allowing a quantity of the item to be added # to the cart push (@row, start_form(-method=>'POST', -action=>url()), hidden( -name => "choice", -override => 1, -default => "add" ), hidden( -name => "item_id", -override => 1, -default => escapeHTML($r +ef->{item_id})), Tr ({-style=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, td (img ({-src => $serve_url, -alt => escapeHTML($ref->{item_id})}) +), td ({-width=>"80", -valign=>"top", -align => "center"}, escapeHTML( + $ref->{item_id} )), td ({-width=>"190", -valign=>"top"}, escapeHTML( $ref->{description +} ))), td (" "), Tr ({-style=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, td ({-colspan => "3", -align => "right", -style=>"font-weight: 700; + color:blue;"}, "Price: \$", escapeHTML( sprintf( "%.2f", $ref->{pri +ce}))), Tr ({-style=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, td ({-colspan => "3", -align => "right"}, "Colors:", popup_menu( -n +ame => "color", -values => \@color))), Tr ({-style=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, td ({-colspan => "3", -align => "right"}, "Quantity:", popup_menu( +-name => "quantity", -values => ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", " +8", "9"])), td (image_button( -name => "Add Item", -src=>"../images/add.jpg", - +border=>"0" )))), Tr ({-valign=>"top"}, td ({-colspan=>"7", -width=>"100%"}, hr)), end_form() ); } $sth->finish (); return undef unless @row; # no items? return (table ({-border => 0, -align => "center", -style=>"font-fa +mily: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, @row)); }
This is the add item subroutine...
sub add_item { my ($dbh, $cart_ref, $item_id, $qty, $color) = @_; # If the item isn't already in the cart, look it up from the datab +ase # and store it in the cart as a new entry with a quantity of zero. if (!exists ($cart_ref->{$item_id})) { my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM catalog_pet WHERE item_id = ?"); $sth->execute ($item_id); my $item_ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref (); $sth->finish (); return if !defined ($item_ref); # this shouldn't happen... $cart_ref->{$item_id} = {}; # create new entry, indexed by +item ID $cart_ref->{$item_id}->{description} = $item_ref->{description +}; $cart_ref->{$item_id}->{price} = $item_ref->{price}; $cart_ref->{$item_id}->{qty} = 1; } $cart_ref->{$item_id}->{qty} = $qty; $cart_ref->{$item_id}->{color} = $color; }
Finally, this produces the cart...
sub format_cart_html { my ($cart_ref, $show_links) = @_; my $total_price = 0; my @row; if (!keys (%{$cart_ref})) { return (p ("Shopping cart is empty.")); } $page .= h3 ({-align=>"center", -style=>"font-family: +verdana; font-size: 16pt; color: blue;"}, ("Shopping Cart")); push (@row, Tr ({-align => "CENTER", -valign=>"TOP", -BGCOLOR=>" +silver", -style=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, th ({-width=>"50"},("Item")), th ({-width=>"50"},("Qty")), th ({ +-width=>"90"},("Color")), th ({-width=>"190"},("Description")), th ({-width=>"94"},("Unit Price")), th ({-width=>"94"},("Price")) )); foreach my $item_id (sort (keys (%{$cart_ref}))) { my $item_ref = $cart_ref->{$item_id}; my $total_item_price = $item_ref->{qty} * $item_ref->{price}; $total_price += $total_item_price; # generate a link allowing the item to be deleted from the car +t my $url = sprintf ("%s?choice=delete;item_id=%s", url (), escape ($item_id)); push (@row, start_form(-method=>'GET', + -action=>url()), hidden( -name => "choice", -override => 1, -default => "update" ), hidden( -name => "item_id", -override => 1, -default => escapeHTML( $i +tem_id )), Tr ({-valign=>"center", -style=>"font-f +amily: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, td ({-align => "center"},(escapeHTML ($ +item_id))), td ({-align => "center"},( textfield( - +name => "quantity", -size => "1", -override => 1, -value => $item_ref +->{qty}))), td (escapeHTML ($item_ref->{color})), td (escapeHTML ($item_ref->{description})), td ({-align => "right"}, escapeHTML (sprintf ("%.2f", $item_ref->{price +}))), td ({-align => "right"}, escapeHTML (sprintf ("%.2f", $total_item_price +))), td (a ({-href => $url}, img ({-src => ".. +/images/delete1.jpg", -border => "0"}))), td (image_button( -name => "update", -src +=>"../images/update1.jpg", -border=>"0" )), end_form() )); } push (@row, Tr ({-align => "CENTER", -valign=>"center", -style=>" +font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"}, td ({-colspan => "2"}, ""), td ({-colspan => "3", -align=>"right", -style=>"font-w +eight: 700;"}, "Total"), td ({-align => "right", -style=>"font-weight: 700;"}, escapeHTML (sprintf ("%.2f", $total_price))) )); return (table ({-align => "CENTER", -border => 0}, @row)); }
Thank you ahead of time for all and any help.
