I have some products that are not required, but strongly recommended when someone buys an item.  I can get them to show up as a related item, but what I’d really like to do after someone clicks “add to cart” is go to a page that says something like “Before you checkout, we recommend you also consider the following…” and that page would allow for the addition of other recommended items.  Is this kind of intermediate page possible with Foxee?  Thanks.

Hi, I have never seen this done but you should be able to do this using the addtocart_custom tag and customizing your form to redirect to your secondary page. Then from there they can add more item to their cart or go to checkout

Thanks for the reply Mike.

I do have the custom tag in place and Foxybox disabled.  I’m just not sure what to use as the trigger to go to the next page for the suggested items.  Is there something in Foxee that can trigger the new page after the item has been added to the cart or will it require some custom PHP to accomplish this?

Hi,

There is no default/pre-built way in the foxee tags to achieve what you are wanting. You will want to use standard HTML form practices to pass your cart/form information to a secondary form. This isn’t really a foxee module issue, more a designer/site builder technique question. If I had an example I would provide it for you, unfortunately I dont. Sorry.

In case anyone else wants to do something similar, here is what I worked out.  FoxyCart has a “redirect” parameter (http://wiki.foxycart.com/v/0.6.0/getting_started/adding_links_and_forms) that can be used to send people to another page after the item has been added to the cart.  Foxee doesn’t seem to have a tie-in with the redirect parameter, but it is easy enough to add in a hidden form field within Foxee’s addtocart_custom tags.  The value for this “redirect” field can be customized using EE parameters so that you can send the user to just about any page you want on your website.

Mike was trying to say this in his original reply, I just wasn’t able to put it all together at first.

Thanks for posting back. I believe you can add that in the foxee custom fields “raw” selection as well if you dont want to use a addtocart_custom form.
