WebsiteX5.info - The ultimate guide for Incomedia's WebsiteX5

This functionality hasn't been tested for Evolution 8 yet!




With this script you can show information about the contents of the shopping cart on, for example the home page of your website. It shows the number of products in the cart, the price, the percentage and the amount of VAT and the total amount of the items in the cart. It does not show the shipping costs because that can only be calculated when a customer places the order and chooses a shipping method.

It could look something like:

To use the script add a HTML-object anywhere on the page. Edit this HTML-object and copy/paste the following script in it.

<script type="text/javascript" src="res/x5cart.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="res/x5products.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
// Funtion to report the status of the shoppingcart
function ReportCart() {

// Load the WX5 shoppingcartsystem

// or pull appropriate values from Language.ini

var strSubtotal="Subtotal";
var strVAT = "VAT";
var strTotal = imLocale["TotalVAT"];

aCart = new Array();
}

// If the cart is empty show 'EmptyCart'.
// This is defined in the languagedefinition.

if(aCart.length == 0) {
sBuf += strEmpty;
}
else {
for ( var i = 0; i < aCart.length; i++) {
aCartProd = aCart[i].split(":");
aProd = imCGetProduct(aCartProd[0],aCartProd[1]);

}

ReportCart();

</script>

Change the language labels (the ones in green) in the texts which are appropriate for your language and click on OK (ignore the error. The script works fine!)

You can then format the block using the WX5 format painter or add extra markup-codes in the text.

There's also a link to quickly go to the shopping cart...
