Thread: Images In Shopping Cart - How to

This article is the first in a series in the Vortx LiveWire Blog explaining some of the built in AspDotNetStorefront shopping cart page settings that many users don’t know about. You can also find other excellent information, tips and advice about AspDotNetStoreFront and eCommerce in the LiveWire blog.

In this first installment, I’ll show you how to add product icons to your shopping cart. I notice that many people don’t use this feature of ADNSF, perhaps only because it is turned off by default.

I like to see what I’m buying all the way through the checkout process. There’s something reassuring about a picture of what you’re buying looking back at you telling you it’s all gonna be okay as you enter your credit card information and push that ‘buy’ button.



Boooring!

To add product icon images to your shopping cart:

1. Log into the admin side of your ADNSF site and find the AppConfig Page(Configuration>Advanced>AppConfig Parameters in version 8.0).
2. Type “pics” in the Config Search box on the left side of the screen.
3. After hitting the search button you should see a short list of results. You’re looking for the one called “ShowPicsInCart”.
4. Hit the edit button and set that to “true”.
5. Click the “Update” button and you should be good to go.
6. You might need to hit the “reset cache” button to get the change to take effect.

Now your shopping cart should look like this:

I have done the above. The cart now show pictures. It shows the pictures for the items that I have listed with sizes. If I have an item that just has a color nothing shows up. I know that you can go into the Variant and add an image. If I do this the picture shows up for both the products list with just a size and a color. I'm just wondering if I can add a code to the shopping cart page to grab the picture no matter if it has a just a size or just a color. I have a lot of products that just have a color. Having to go back and put a picture in the Variant page will be very time consuming. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We're having exactly the same problem with images not appearing in the cart when there's only a color. Did you ever get a resolution to this? Thanks!!
