Creation link to auto order

[Gary Host]

Hi guys,

 

Is it possible to create a link that when clicked will lead to the view of a cart with an article in it ?

 

Explanation : I've got a product that is a subscription, and I would like to send a mail to my clients when their subscription is almost over, with a link in it that will lead to an open cart with the new subscription already in it.

 

Is it possible ? Has somebody already done it ?

 

Thanks a lot

What you could try is to make a product page with the item you want to add to the cart. Then create a jquery submit() event on that page, something like:

 

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

      $('#my_product_form').submit();

});

</script>

 

See for more info:

http://api.jquery.com/submit/

 

 

Then change/set a few setting, to move your customer to the summary page:

Go to Preferences->Product

and set "Redirect after adding product to cart" to "Cart Summary"

 

Note: This only works if you turn OFF ajax animation: 

Modules->Modules, find Module Cart block - configure and disable AJAX mode.

 

Hope this helps,

pascal

 

Edit: The link in your mail is just the link to your product page
