change quantity update button into text link?

[robster2]

Hi all

 

I would like to change the "quantity update button" in the shopping cart to a text link just like the remove link beside it, how can this be done?

 

Thanks in advance

Edit the code on the shopping_cart.php directly. In your filemanger in cPanel.

No shit Sherlock.. the point is how to get the update function to work with a text link instead of a tep_draw button.

Lots of info here on how to remake a text link to a button but not the other way.

The update button is submitting the form on shopping_cart.php, it is not a link "masked" to look like a button, it IS a button

So if it is a true button, it is submitting to a form, rather than linking to a new page. It's a considerable chore to change a button to a link or vice-versa.

Well I figured out that to copy the "remove" code and make an action=submit could be a solution just dont know exactly how

 

something like:

From: <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id'] . '&action=remove_product') . '">

To:    <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, 'cart_quantity=' . $products[$i]['id'] . '&action=submit') . '">

 

As you can see my php knowledge is 0 but it should be possible somehow Im sure.

You can't do that, because action=submit means nothing to the script, unless you want to set this in application_top.php and I don't know what else would be necessary

 

Conclusion: forget about removing the submit button of the form

 

Only way is, to "un-style", or "re-style" it with css, so it doesn't look like a button any more

 

Wrap it into a selector, like e.g. "no_button" and then target it in css like

 

.no_button button{background:none;border:none;} and any other rules you want

[robster2]

Ok thanks, with the selector, do you mean like  no_button instead of tep_draw_button, If so how do i proceed?

 

Have tried to style the button in css by labeling it like "null, 'secondary123' but It can only control borders, background and font weight, hover and text size is not possible.

 

Thanks in advance!

With "selector" I mean to wrap in into a html element and give a class to that element.

 

<div class="kuku"> the button </div>

 

In this case you target like .kuku button {} in css

 

 

You can also give a class to the button itself, adding parameters to the end of the button function

 

array('params'=> 'class="kuku"')

 

Here you target like button.kuku{} in css

 

I'm using "kuku" to make clear that the class name has no effect, it is just anything

Works like a dream, Thanks!!
