Problems with the cart class

[eluser]nelson.wells[/eluser]
After looking at the cart->update function, it will only update the quantity. Does anyone know if they plan on making that function more flexible in CI 2? I don't like that the update function is only useful for updating the price. If they don't plan on making it more flexible, maybe I will lend my hand at it...

Here is a quick and dirty solution. You should take more validation and error checking steps, but this will get the job done in a hurry.

Code:

class MY_Cart extends CI_Cart
    {
        function update_price($items = array())
        {
            //only update the cart if the rowid and price keys were passed
            if( isset($items['rowid']) && isset($items['price']) )
            {
                $this->_cart_contents[$items['rowid']]['price'] = $items['price'];
                
                $this->_save_cart();
                
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                 return false;
            }
        }
    }

Put that in the file MY_Cart.php in the libraries folder. You call it like this

Code:

$data = array(
        'rowid' => $rowid,
        'price' => $new_price
);

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

Please note that the function does not accept an array of items. You'll have to do some additional programming to do that
