Inserting Javascript cart cookies into eForm

Need to pass some cookie variables into eform from a js cart.

I have the cart displaying on the checkout page from within &tpl=`orderForm` chunk.

[!eForm2db_contact!]

[!eForm? &formid=`orderForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &to=`[email protected]` &ccsender=`1` &eFormOnBeforeMailSent=`eForm2db_contact` &tpl=`orderForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &gotoid=`34`!]

normally the posted variables would look something like this in my old php email processing script:

$QUANTITY_1
$PRICE_1
$NAME_1

$QUANTITY_2
$PRICE_2
$NAME_2
etc

$SUBTOTAL
$TOTAL
$SHIPPING

Any suggestions for getting them into eForm please?

Mostly harmless.

Add a function to add these to the email report. Yuo can edit the efor2db snippet and include this function as well on the same event. Check in /assets/snippets/eform/docs/eform_example_events.htm for an example of how to do this, but you will need to edit it to work with cookie variables.

OK gotcha but have just discovered the cart automatically generates the hidden fields anyhow when it’s called on the checkout page.

I’m no programmer, but any clues for a script that loops to show the code below for each item, times the number of items in the cart?

&report chunk "orderReport"

(loop 1 displays...)
 <p>ID_1: [+ID_1+]</p>
 <p>QUANTITY_1: [+QUANTITY_1+]</p>
 <p>PRICE_1: [+PRICE_1+]</p>
 <p>SHIPPING_1: [+SHIPPING_1+]</p>
 <p>ADDTLINFO_1: [+ADDTLINFO_1+]</p>

(loop 2 displays...)
 <p>ID_2: [+ID_2+]</p>
 <p>QUANTITY_2: [+QUANTITY_2+]</p>
 <p>PRICE_2: [+PRICE_2+]</p>
 <p>SHIPPING_2: [+SHIPPING_2+]</p>
 <p>ADDTLINFO_2: [+ADDTLINFO_2+]</p>

Mostly harmless.
