Add product to cart using a plugin

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5.1
-- PHP version -- : 7.0.9
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : FF

Because Hikashop doesn't provide a functionality to add a product for free when a certain cart amount is met, I'm trying to build a plugin who does that for me. Could you provide a code sample how to add a product to the cart when a plugin event is fired? can I also then reset the the price to 0?

Hope you can get me started...

Hi,

On this thread, we talk about adding a product to the cart with either a redirect, a form submit, or code:
www.hikashop.com/forum/2-general-talk-ab...-product-fields.html
But it's actually quite easy to do:
$class = hikashop::get('class.cart');
$class->update($product_id, $quantity);

Great! That worked!

Just to be complete. Can I also remove a product from the cart or change the price using this class?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Yes, and it's really easy. It's the same function with the quantity being 0 :
$class = hikashop::get('class.cart');
$class->update($product_id, 0);
Also note that the quantity is not added by default, it replaces the quantity of the product in the cart.
If you want to add a quantity of 2 to the quantity already in the cart, you need to do like that:
$class = hikashop::get('class.cart');
$class->update($product_id, 2, true);

Hi Nicolas,
With your help I created a plugin that add a free product to the cart depending on the total cart price. github.com/RickR2H/hikashop-free-product

Thanks for the help and regards!

Hi,

Thanks for the share. It can be very useful...

Regards

thank you sir for the plugin!

Thank you Nicholas,

This is a very usefull plugin. Could I add multiple products depending on the cart-total.

example
If you buy for 30€, you receive free product B
If you buy voor 100€ you receive product A + B
When buying for 500€, you receive products A + B + C

...

Hi,

With the plugin on our marketplace ( www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/118...on-free-product.html ) you can do:
If you buy for 30€, you receive free product B
If you buy for 100€ you receive product A
When buying for 500€, you receive products C

But you can't have it add several products at once. That would require some development in the plugin to support it.

how to fetch the product id for all different products?

Hi,

Where do you want to do that ? What information of the products you have at hand ?
