I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to offer 3 options of the same product (dropdown).
For example: red shirt, blue shirt, green shirt - all the same price of $15.
Item Name Settings
Item Name Settings / Name or Item Number
item_name / Blue shirt
item_name / Red shirt
item_name / Green shirt
Input Value Settings
Option Select / Input Value
option_select0 / $15.00
Amount Value Option Settings
Value / Option
15.00 / Blue shirt
15.00 / Red Shirt
15.00 / Green Shirt
With this configuration, no matter what color option I choose in the dropdown, it always sends the Green Shirt option to the cart (last entry in "Name or Item Number"). I think I'm doing something wrong in "Option Select". I'm not sure what "option_select0" means. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi BaconFries
I read it and it really helped. For some reason though I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around employing different categories to be sent to the cart. I get them in the dropdown no problem, but when I preview the page it seems no matter which dropdown option i choose to send to the cart, it only sends the last item listed in the Item Name Settings > Name or Item number.
Can you explain what option_select_0 is and what it is supposed to match? I have a feeling the problem is there. I have option_select0 under "Option Select", and $15 under Input Value. Since all three of my dropdown options are the same price (just different color), do I need to modify this?
I appreciate your advice.

I am going to use this on a site i'm building, I'm not using the extension but instead just the code from the site. Have everything working, but the window is behind all my content. Any idea how to get it to show on top of my content?

@iamafireman insert the code below in Page HTML between<head></head> tags* set the z-index to what you require but I think 100 should be enough....
Code: Select all
<style type="text/css">
#PPMiniCart {
position: relative !important;
z-index: 100 !important;
}
</style>

Hi supersonictt I havent use the extension for some time now, what version of the extension are you trying to use the version that I supplied Ken with or his? I memory serves me correctly with mine there is two settings for the left/right one needs to be set to L for Left and the other set to Left and vice -verus for right.

@BaconFries
The version am using is the one that doesn't have the combo boxes and extra settings (as reading this thread, he has two version, the very first one which am using and the second one has combo boxes and more complex settings).
The version I have has L and R, but whenever I set it to R it doesn't appear on right, it always appears on the left. And you mentioned that you had the fix for that, could you please let me know how you did it?
Thanks.

Well, in the same old extension, it was only the cart pinned to the top of the page, and I used the built-in add to cart button to show the cart.
Now in this newer version, it has combo boxes and other stuff (quantity...) that I found hard to setup, so I guess there is no way to remove them, right?

Thanks for your work on this ext.It would be really good if you could make the cart appear to the right by default as surely this is the accepted convention for most similar carts - I don't know of any that hover/stick to the left. It just doesn't feel natural nor intuitive to be on the left.

@ bourin what version of the minicart.js file are you using in your extension????
the code below is for the latest version of the minicart.js I was in contact with the author of the script regarding a issue regarding z-index order and this is what
HE recommended so before being critical regarding this please check that
YOU are using the latest minicart.js which this fix is for and not previous version of the script.....
Code: Select all
<style type="text/css">
#PPMiniCart {
position: relative !important;
z-index: 100 !important;

To make any changes to the js file you will need to open it with a HTML Editor scroll down to line
87 function createCart() here you will find some code to allow you to make the changes...note if you open the extension again in wb then these will be lost and you will have to repeat.

The js file will be located to where ever you have saved you project to on your PC/laptop look for a file named minicart.js

BF, that is exactly my problem. I can't locate the file, I am even using windows search on the specific folder where the projects are saved,
but it can't be found. Maybe there is a hard coding of the minicart.js file within the extension?
Thanks
Re: PayPal Mini Cart

The file is generated by the extension and will be placed in the folder that you have saved the project to along with all other files that are required for the page that you have the extension on...I have just tested this and the minicart.js always get saved to the project folder i save to. Maybe you have set that all js files get place in a folder named js or something else ...i would do a full search of you PC looking for minicart.js and I am positive it will be found...please note that I am not the developer of this extension and I am only trying to provide you assitance with this if you are have any issues I would post again saying that the file is not getting generated and the builder will assit you.

In Kevins version of the extension he only gave the choice to select L or R which only places the dropdown to the right what ever you select....In the js there is a extra selection that he left out you also need to be able to select left of right not just L or R, this can be fixed by making the changes in the js file by yourself by opening it in a HTML Editor such as Notepad++ and make the change as follows
Code: Select all
// set defaults
MiniCart.displayEdge = (MiniCart.displayEdge === 'L') ? 'left' : 'left'; <<<< for positioning to the left
Code: Select all
// set defaults
MiniCart.displayEdge = (MiniCart.displayEdge === 'R') ? 'left' : 'right'; <<<< for positioning to the right

@Patr100 Yes the version that I passed on to kevin allowed this without having to modify the code as I described. In Kevins version that you can download from the first thread this is required so you can position left or right.
@bendigo I wish I had the time to rebuild this extension, If I was it would be a total rebuild from the start and doing this takes times, but thanks for just saying put your "magic " to it ...
