Shopping carts for civicontribute?
December 11, 2011, 06:39:46 pm
Can someone tell me where we are on being able to use a shopping cart concept in civicrm?  I believe that there was some work done on a module to integrate with ubercart several years ago, but I don't know if it has been kept up to date with current versions.  What I am looking for is a way to let users choose from multiple options to donate to various causes on one page, adding as many donation types as desired to a cart and then going to checkout.  This would be similar to how worldvision.org works.  Has anyone done this?

The Ubercart integration was only to show a tab on a Contact's record to show his history of purchases from Ubercart. There is no shopping cart for Contributions in CiviCRM.

There are two modules
http://drupal.org/project/uc_civicrm
http://drupal.org/project/uc_civicrm_product

The former does as Hershel describes - pushing contact data through to CiviCRM and adding Source = Ubercart Purchase etc.

The latter in theory may do what you are asking for as it creates Attributes for Ubercart that include Contribution, Membership etc.

I have only had success using them both together as I have not found that the latter by itself adds to address data, or checks for existing contacts to match to etc.

Good luck with your explorations and pls report back.

Sorry I meant it creates a Feature for the Product - click on 'edit' then under 'features' you can specify if the product is a civicrm donation etc.
Attributes are where you can add fields and push the data through in to civicrm via a custom module

I loaded the following modules: ubercart, uc_atctweaks, uc_varprice, uc_civicrm, and uc_civicrm_product.  I cloned the Product content type, and renamed it Donation.  Then I made a view with a grid display style, and each cell contains the title, an attached image thumbnail, and the body text for a donation type .

Clicking on one of the cell images takes you to the  "product" page for that donation type, where the donation amount can be entered.  The user clicks "add to cart" to continue.  The "continue shopping" link takes the user back to the grid view.

I have not reached the point of fine tuning the view output to make it look better.  However, as far as I can see it works.  So, thank you!  That is what I was looking for.
