Grouping related products in cart

Grouping related products in cart

I have a situation where I would like the ability to group related products in the cart display together regardless of when they were entered in the cart, I can add a column to the cart to add the parent sku but does eCart have the ability to do something like this ?

There is nothing inherent in eCart that will do this for you. But the cart is just stored in an array in the session, so you can use a php sorting function to re-order the array.

That’s a good idea I never thought of that, I will have a play and see what I can do, there may be more questions later

Thanks

Ray,

I am resurrecting this old thread as I have only just got back to this !

So when I print_r the ecart object like so:

print '<pre>';
print_r($eCart1);
print '</pre>';


this is an example of what I see

what I want is to be able to access the [items] array so that I can order them based on the ParentSKU and ProductType fields, how can I do that ?

Or should I be looking at the session $_SESSION['eCart1_Items'] ?
I am still having issues with exploding this so 

$temp = explode("§WA§",$_SESSION['eCart1_Items']);


gives me

You can just access the $eCart1->Items array directly and sort it in place, or save it and sort it separately.

You could use something like:

php:
<?php

$sortedArray = $eCart1->Items;



function cartSort($a,$b) {

  return ($a->ParentSKU > $b->ParentSKU)?-1:1;

}



usort($sortedArray, "cartSort");

?>



Then the $sortedArray would be sorted by the ParentSKU.

Thanks Ray,

after some experimentation this is what I ended up with

if (!function_exists("cartSort")) { /* see http://www.webassist.com/forums/post/219584/ */
  function cartSort($a,$b) {
    return ($a->ParentSKU > $b->ParentSKU)?1:-1; // sorts a - z
    return ($a->ProductType > $b->ProductType)?-1:1; // sorts 1 - 3
  }
}


then adding

usort($eCart1->Items, "cartSort");


after

$eCart1->GetContent();


like so

<?php
$eCart1->GetContent();
usort($eCart1->Items, "cartSort");
?>


gives me exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks again.
