How do you figure out the URL for adding a product to the cart? I would like to create a product page that on an article page and then have a link to add the product to cart. I would like to do this for a few reasons, because of the layout of the page, I don't want it to look like a standard product page, and the article pages will be under Joomla rather than created in ProductCart.

Anyways, how do I find this link or recreate it?

Thanks!

The widget is very helpful. If you need better design control try this:

Matt, I went with the second link you sent me and it seems to work except I am receiving an error saying cookies are not enabled...

Event though they definitely are.

I have an incomplete version of the page with an add to car button on it. Would you mind testing it and maybe sharing any suggestions you may have to avoid 'message 207'?

You removed the name of the field "idproduct". You are also using the product id from the sample code.

You should have this:

<input type="hidden" name="idproduct" value="id_of_your_product">
