AJAX¶

To add products to the shopping cart via AJAX request, a configuration for a custom page type is needed, because in this case you don't want to receive the completely rendered page as response, but only a JSON object.

The default templates are preconfigured for AJAX and the extension also contains the needed JavaScript.

Tip

When using own templates and partials you need to make sure that the needed HTML classes and IDs are given if you want to use the JavaScript delivered by this extension.

This is the supplied configuration for the shopping cart plugin:

EXT:cart/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript¶

plugin.tx_cart {
    settings {
        addToCartByAjax = 2278001
    }
}

ajaxCart = PAGE
ajaxCart {
    typeNum = 2278001

    config {
        disableAllHeaderCode = 1
        xhtml_cleaning = 0
        admPanel = 0
        debug = 0
        no_cache = 1
    }

    10 = EXTBASEPLUGIN
    10 {
        vendorName = Extcode
        extensionName = Cart
        pluginName = Cart
        controller = Product
    }
}

plugin.tx_cart.settings¶

addToCartByAjax¶

Type: int
Default: 2278001

Activates the option to add products via AJAX action. There is no forwarding to the shopping cart page. The value is used as typeNum in the default templates of extcode/cart-books, extcode/cart-events, extcode/cart-products and other product extensions.

The response can used to display messages or update the MiniCart plugin.
