This is a follow up post to a previous article I wrote on how to add products into Magento but this time the script includes custom options (attributes) of the product. I used Magento version 1.4.0.1 in this example. Just copy the whole script and save it as index.php.
<?php
require_once ("/var/www/your-magento-directory/app/Mage.php");
umask(0);
// Initialize Magento
Mage::app("default");
// You have two options here,
// "frontend" for frontend session or "adminhtml" for admin session
Mage::getSingleton("core/session", array("name" => "frontend"));
// get the current Magento cart
$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
// call the Magento catalog/product model
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
// set the current store ID
->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
// load the product object
->load($_POST['product']);
// start adding the product
// format: addProduct(<product id>, array(
// 'qty' => <quantity>,
// 'super_attribute' => array(<attribute id> => <option id>)
// )
// )
$cart->addProduct($product, array(
'qty' => $_POST['qty'],
'super_attribute' => array( key($_POST['super_attribute']) => $_POST['super_attribute'][525] )
)
);
// save the cart
$cart->save();
// very straightforward, set the cart as updated
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setCartWasUpdated(true);
// redirect to index.php
header("Location: index.php");
}else{
?>
<html>
<head></head>

<div style="width: 400px; margin: auto">

<div style="width: 180px; margin:auto; line-height: 30px">

So how can we perform this within WordPress if the mage-enabler is plugged in.
You have to do the programming based on your need.
Very nice! I think this covers what Ive been looking for. Can we also pass form entries to the Magento cart?
I would like to have a mini-form in wp that on submit auto populates the corresponding fields in onepage checkout, allowing users to complete the order. Is this possible?
Yeah it should allow you to do that. What are the fields that you plan to add from an external page?
I have an external page where I’m selling one bottle of a weight loss product.
The form consists of:
First Name
Last Name
Address
City
State
Zip
Country
Email
Phone
Submit would auto populate those fields in magento checkout, allowing users to complete the form and submit payment.
Yeah it is possible. Read it here.
Yeah, that’s all greek to me. Can I hire you to do it? Please send me an email if you’re interested
Hey, how would we add Multiple products at the same time.. ? one simple and one with options?!
Hi,
You can put them in an array then do a
foreachloop calling the$cart->addProduct()in each record.In my case, I have a down loadable product, While I only have one link, it is basically a simple product with options, I thought. does this link exist as a super_attribute? where do I find it?or is it something else.. such as links[]?
Hi
I have a product that have attributes. How do i access the attribute value so I can display it in the shopping cart
To display a product attribute, use the code below:
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product'); $product->load(product-ID-here); echo $product->getData('attribute_code');oh… very nice!
Thank you very much, I have been searching this module for last 2-3 days. Thanks Richard!
You’re welcome 🙂
Hi Richard,
I have a situation where I need to access the shopping cart item attributes
I have a products that has 3 attributes each attribute has a price. The user needs to select one attribute to add the product to cart. How do i get the attribute value of the added product… Below is my snapshot of my code
$this->_quote = parent::getQuote();
$quote = $this->_quote;
$quote_items = $quote->getAllItems();
foreach($quote_items as $item){
// I want to get the attribute value using the $item object
}
Thanks
Ben
Hi Ben, try the code below:
$item->getData('attribute_code');Hi Richard,
Didn’t work… value is empty
Hmmm, it should display something because $item must be a product object. How about doing this:
It should display the product object in it.
Here is a snapshot from print_r($item);
I want to get the value of myprice and price_type
=================================================
[_origData:protected] => Array ( [option_id] => 144
[item_id] => 138
[product_id] => 167
=> info_buyRequest [value] => a:3:{s:3:”qty”;s:1:”1″;s:4:”qty2″;s:1:”1″;s:15:”super_attribute”;a:2:{s:29:”myprice”;s:7:”30.0000″;s:17:”price_type”;s:3:”type1″;}}
)
=================================================
Thanks
Ben
Try this:
$quote = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote(); foreach($quote->getAllItems() as $item){ $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($item->getProduct()->getId()); print_r($product->getData('myprice')); // or print_r($product->getAttributeText('myprice')); }Hi Richard
It did not work I think because ‘myprice’ and ‘price_type’ are not product attributes…
I have extended Mage_Checkout_CartController and rewrite Addaction function below is snapshot.
public function addAction()
{
$cart = $this->_getCart();
if ($_POST[‘price_type] == ‘1’) {
$params = array(
‘qty’ => $_POST[‘qty’],
‘super_attribute’ => array(‘my_price’=> $_POST[‘price’],
‘price_type’=>’type1’ )
);
…….
If you extended it, then it is just treated as an array which is accessible via
getData(). I tested the script and it is working.Are you able to post your code and advise on any config.xml adjustment so i can test it from my end.
Cheers
My
config.xmlis the same as it was when I downloaded it and installed. Maybe your customization in the checkout cart controller prevents you from using the proper method in Magento in accessing the attributes. I would advise that you follow the right way of adding attributes for a product in the administration panel so you can use the codes I provided earlier.Hi,
Can you please help me that how can i set custom price for the product added in cart .
I have override the cart controller add action to add product.
i want to use custom price to be set for the product in cart.
Thanks
Is there a users manual for this… I just want to embed the content area of my magento site into a page on wordpress so people can view products are checkout without leaving my blog…
The only instructions needed by the plugin is found in the Installation tab. After that, check the Description page “Is this plugin for you?” section.
Dude…you’re a legend
Thank you,
Thanks 🙂

Yes, you just need to figure out the right array format.
