How to add this code
3 replies · Started by Russell on May 1, 2018
I am trying to use add to cart buttons from my cart software - they generate this code - that SHOULD work... however, the cart people say that there is an issue with the theme
Sample code below for add to cart
<!-- Button/Link for aMember Shopping Cart -->
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof cart == "undefined")
document.write("<scr" + "ipt src='/membership/application/cart/views/public/js/cart.js'></scr" + "ipt>");
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="cart.addCheckoutExternal(this,20); return false;" value="Add to Cart">
<!-- End Button/Link for aMember Shopping Cart -->
Sample code for view basket:
<!-- Basket for aMember Shopping Cart -->
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(cart) == "undefined")
document.write("<scr" + "ipt src='/membership/application/cart/views/public/js/cart.js'></scr" + "ipt>");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function(){cart.loadOnly();});
</script>
<!-- End Basket for aMember Shopping Cart -->
Each time I have tried to add the above... the page has been wiped of all HTML
I have tried the standard WP Editor - which USUALLY works.
I am using EPro to create the store pages.. and with that the page is wiped completely.
I have been advise by my cart people that it would be best to add the following code:
I suggest to add cart.js to header of your theme so:
<script src='/membership/application/cart/views/public/js/cart.js'></script>
Then you can put to elementor only html code ie.:
<input type="button" onclick="cart.addCheckoutExternal(this,4); return false;" value="Add To Basket">
I have no idea how to add to the header and if I do add to the header, does that mean I need to now use a child theme etc?
Or is there an easier fix to ensure the above code works with GP?
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
You can add the code into the wp_head hook using GP Hooks (Appearance > GP Hooks).
Then you should be able to add the other JS inside Elementor.
Let me know :)
When I try to add the code to the wp-head hook I get a big 403 error come up on screen
403

That means your server isn't allowing you to insert javascript into the database. This is a security measure some hosts implement to prevent bad scripts from being injected.
Instead, you can add a function like this:
add_action( 'wp_head', 'tu_add_head_script' );
function tu_add_head_script() {
?>
