Hardcoding "add to cart" button into theme?

[chelle]

Just bought estore and so far it is just what I needed.

My only question so far is I would like to hard code the add to cart button into my product page for my theme template, but not sure the way to do this. I read the function reference ebook and see I can use this template tag:

<?php echo get_button_code_for_product(1); ?>

But if I understand this all correctly, I need to somehow identify what the product ID is – “1” refers to the product ID, correct? Is there a way to do this with custom fields within the post? So I could just create a custom field for “postID” and the add to cart button would know what it would be?

I appreciate any suggestions or help with figuring out a way to do this

Thanks!

WARNING — Running With Scissors (Highly technical discussion)

You are correct, the “1” is the product ID number. If you are writing a PHP script, and you have a variable (returned from a form POST)called $pro_id then you would substitute the “1” with the $pro_id variable name.

Try creating a private “test page” to try your script out. On my site, I have one that contains one of every button.

Hi Chelle, were you able to fix this? I want to be able to do this too.

Wzp – is there a script you could provide?

Thanks.

Yeah, you can easily get the Product ID values from the custom field of that post. The following post should help:
