Add To Cart text link with price varitions

[Robert]

I’m using the add to cart text link with variations using something like:

…wp_eStore_add_to_cart=4&variation1=XLarge…

I have the proper format and it puts the proper item in the cart, but I have different prices on my variations and they don’t show in the cart, it shows the original price for the item. How can I have an add to cart text link for a specific variation that shows the proper price for that variation?

The text link feature didn’t have the price variation handling capability. I added this into the extra eStore shortcodes addon today. Please download a new copy of the extra shortcodes plugin now then you can make links like the following to add price variation:

[your-site.com/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=4&variation1=XLarge&var1_price=10]

Adding an item using the above link will result a $10 addition to the based product price for the variation in question.

Thanks.

I noticed that when I hover over the text link it shows the link (with the parameters of course). Is there any way to hide this so you can’t see what is being passed?

I don’t think there is an easy way to hide the URL when hovering over an anchor element.

I believe this is a sort of security precaution to let users know where they are navigating to.

The alternative is to use the standard add to cart buttons. When you are using a text link, the user will always be able to see the link.

Also, just downloaded the latest and tried the above code, but didn’t work.

I d/l the new plugin, deactiveated it, copied the new code over, then reactivated it. I noticed the version jumped up 1, so thought I had the right version.

[Peter]

Did you delete the old plugin after you deactivated it and before you uploaded the new version? If not please try doing that.

[Robert]

Just deleted and readded, still doesn’t work. Is there a version # to check or a file I can verify?

[admin]

Hi Robert, Do you see 4.5.6 as the version number of the extra eStore shortcodes plugin? If you do then you are on the correct version. Please post a link to the page where you are using this add to cart links.

[Robert]

I misunderstood, I thought I needed to update the eStore not the extra eStore. Once I updated the extra eStore, it worked fine.

Thanks,

Robert

Is there a way to also pass the quantity in a text link?

[admin]

Just added this option to the extra eStore shortcodes addon. Download a new copy of this addon then you can use the following format to specify quantity value in the text link:

[your-site.com/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=4&quantity=5]

[Robert]

Ok, will give it a try

[Robert]

Works great, thanks!
