Shopping cart content class

[Psytanium 15]

Hi,

In shopping_cart.php class, i can find $this->contents[$products_id]['qty'], but where did it get its value ? possible to create $this->contents[$products_id]['price'] ?

Thank you

It's inadvisable to add more columns to cart->contents, as it is stored in the session.  That's why price and other characteristics are loaded by get_products rather than stored in the cart. 

If you are making custom attributes, consider changing the products ID.  That's how that has typically been implemented in the past.  Or consider doing something like product bundles where the user sees one product but behind the scenes there is more than one. 

The quantity is set in includes/actions.

Thank you for explaining this issue, in the file i want to modify this function :

function count_contents() { // get total number of items in cart
      $total_items = 0;
      if (is_array($this->contents)) {
        reset($this->contents);
        while (list($products_id, ) = each($this->contents)) {
          $total_items += $this->get_quantity($products_id);
        }
      }

For some reasons, i want to count specific file and do something similar to

function count_contents() { // get total number of items in cart
      $total_items = 0;
      if (is_array($this->contents)) {
        reset($this->contents);
        while (list($products_id, ) = each($this->contents)) {
			// modification to count specific products
			if ($this->contents[$products_id]['newfield'] == 1) {
				$total_items += $this->get_quantity($products_id);
			}
        }
      }

any possible solution ? thanks

btw i didn't find includes/action in my directories, i'm working on 2.3.4
