Shopping cart doesn't update

repero · September 5th, 2008, 02:19 PM

When I change the counts in shopping cart and then hit update, it "updates" to the previous values and there is no status message as well.
I suppose the ajax_cart function doesn't load:

Code:

  var ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
    'ajax_msg','/welcome/ajax_cart', {method:'post',parameters:params,onComplete:showMessage}
    );

maybe because of the path? ajax_cart() is part of /controllers/welcome.php
Dunno what to do...
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem, only I don't think it's the Ajax call that's the problem. According to my FireFox error console I have an "empty string being passed to getElementById()" which is weird as there is no call to that function?!?!?

In addition when I click the update button on the shopping cart form I get a very brief 404 error message saying that the target page is not recognised on this server.

I have triple checked all the code against the download code and can't see what is wrong!!

If you come up with anything please let me know! (If I work it out I'll be sure to post here)

Regards,

Gordon

Got it! ...added "http://127.0.0.1/ClaudiasKids" (apply your folder name):

Code:

  var ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
    'ajax_msg','http://127.0.0.1/ClaudiasKids/welcome/ajax_cart', {method:'post',parameters:params,onComplete:showMessage}
    );

Or even better:

Code:

var ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
    'ajax_msg', base_url + '/welcome/ajax_cart', {method:'post',parameters:params,onComplete:showMessage}
    );

The same for "delete" etc.

the base_url addition is a weird one. on my dev, test, and production servers, I don't need it at all. however, this easy fix has worked for various folks I've been emailing with. I'm not really sure what's happening here, maybe it has something to do with the way the different apache installs produce paths....?

Can you tell us more about your environment? I've found that depending on the paths I've had to fiddle with the Ajax paths.

this is my enviroment, mate :

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/shopping";

Sometimes I have to click delete twice in order to delete an item.

Sometimes just once.

Could anyone tell me how to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance.

I just updated all the libraries, plugin etc to CI 1.7.2

And I found that updating and deleting shopping cart does not work.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve it?

I need to add the full path to welcome/ajax_cart.

Like this.

PHP Code:


			
var ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
    'ajax_msg',
'http://127.0.0.1/codeigniter_shopping_copy2/index.php/welcome/ajax_cart',

{method:'post',parameters:params,onComplete:showMessage}

I tried using base_url but it did not work for me.

Is it because javascript?
