"ADD to Cart" within thumbnail template

[dkvroom]

Is it possible to add to cart button in the thumbnail template? This would be easy for our customer who knows exactly what they want to click on to add item instead of clicking on the item for full description and then clicking add to cart.

thanks,

Yes, you can do that. Keep in mind that doing that will not work well for items with product options.

You just need to put the code for the add to cart button in the product_thumbnail.tpl.php template file, somewhere inside the FORM tag...you also need to include a quantity field, or a hidden quantity field with quantity set to 1:

<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1" />
<?=$Add_to_Cart?>

this what i've added which I copied it from product detail template.

<?php if ($Maximum_Quantity == 1) { ?>
<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1" />
<?php } else { ?>
<b> </b><input type="hidden" name="quantity" size="3" value="<?=$Quantity_Value?>" autocomplete="off" />
<?php } ?>

<?=$Add_to_Cart?>

I see the add to cart button, but the items are not being added to cart. In cart there is nothing.

Thanks,

If you don't have your form method set to "get" it won't work:

<form action="<?=$Form_Action?>" method="post">

Also, I'd recommend adding this after the <form> tag:

<?=$Show_Cart?>

replaced "post" with "get" and added the other items. it worked like a charm.

As always, thanks for the great support!

By the way, I'm not much of a programmer, but I do work in the computer field. Thanks to your support, I'm starting to understand about PHP and hope to continue my knowledge about PHP.
