Hi Guys,

I would like to add information to cart (like address and email) before the users ads anything to cart.

I have noticed that this works only if the user has anything in cart. Otherwise the information from the form is not submitted to the cart.

Is there any way I can override this?

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian

I don't think that is possible. The cart is deleted when there is no more products in it.

If you have the address information on the user, and they are logged in, you have that information in the user session and can get it from there...

Hi Nicolai,

I was afraid of this answer :)

But it totally makes sense.

The user can have several addresses and it has to choose the address before starting the order.
I guess in this case I will have to add the selected address in a Session (or cookie) variable until the user gets to the cart.

Thanks a lot,

Adrian

Could we assign a new car to Context.Cart through extensibility?

You probably can, but I think (not 100% sure) that Dynamicweb will see it, and kill it.

Try adding one product, add information on the order, delete the product, see what is in the database, and add a product again...
