Add new products to compare from the comparision page

[acateon]

Has anyone attempted this, or perhaps already made a module?

 

Exactly what I'm looking for is the possibility to add products to compare on the comparison page, not on the category pages themselves.

 

Hopefully by some kind of ajax search...

 

If someone is willing to develop this, let me know, I'm willing to pay to get this function.

Just small hint

 

compareController.php, add

 

 

  public function initContent()
{
	parent::initContent();

	if (isset($_GET['action'])) {
		if ($_GET['action'] == 'remove') {
			CompareProduct::removeCompareProduct((int)$this->context->cookie->id_compare, (int)Tools::getValue('id_product'));
		}
		if ($_GET['action'] == 'add') {
			$id_compare = isset($this->context->cookie->id_compare) ? $this->context->cookie->id_compare : false;
			if (CompareProduct::getNumberProducts($id_compare) < Configuration::get('PS_COMPARATOR_MAX_ITEM'))
				CompareProduct::addCompareProduct($id_compare, (int)Tools::getValue('id_product'));
			else
				die('0');
		}
	}
......
...
......
....

 

Then you can create form with input and send it to

index.php?controller=products-comparison&action=add&id_product=171

with id product.

Really awesome advice, thanks!

 

Only problem is that it wreaks the funktion of the compare controller. I'm using 1.4.10, do you know if your code should work on that version?

 

Could it be that it should use a preProcess instead of initContent?

ou, sorry, I am using 1.5+, so maybe it is not possible for 1.4, no idea
