Help - Shopping cart fails to add item.

[eluser]Frank Rocco[/eluser]
Hello,

The item fails when the description has a / in it.
example: B/S INSIGNIA

$row->Item_description = "B/S INSIGNIA"
$data = array(
'id' => $row->Item,
'qty' => $qty,
'price' => $row->List_price,
'name' => $row->Item_description
);

$this->cart->insert($data);

if I remove the /, it saves ok.
$row->Item_description = "BS INSIGNIA"
Thanks

Hello,

I have the same problem. I didn't find a way to add the slash to the $product_name_rules variable of the cart class even though I anti-slashed it. I had to remove the entire product name validation.

same here, there are a number of other chars which prevent products to go in the cart, like ' and !

heres a simple solution.

just add your products with the following code:

Code:

$this->cart->product_name_rules = '[:print:]';
$this->cart->insert($data);

This allows all printable characters in the product name.

@codeigniter coders: i think this should be made default, just allowing _ . : is not enough

It works nicely. Thanks for sharing your solution.

Hey ..

Sorry for revive the topic.. but this code

Code:

$this->cart->product_name_rules = '[:print:]';

only work for names with slashes

I need to add products that have latin characters.. like áÓãoâê .. etc.

anyone knows how to do that?

thanks

well, not tested, but in theory, you should always be able to use '.*' which allows *every* character. (or maybe [.], one of the two should work)

thank you.. but this doesn't work.
I commented these lines (validation in the cart library):

Code:

if ( ! preg_match("/^[".$this->product_name_rules."]+$/i", $items['name']))
        {
            log_message('error', 'An invalid name was submitted as the product name: '.$items['name'].' The name can only contain alpha-numeric characters, dashes, underscores, colons, and spaces');
            return FALSE;
        }

so now I can add any products, this is a good way for me, 'cause the name of products are already in database.. so NVM

cheers.

I've never seen [:print:] used before. Is this a CI thing, or PHP? Got more info?
