I'm currently trying to add a custom option to a specific orderline on add to cart via the following:
public function addToPackageQuote()
{
$cart = Mage::getSingleton("checkout/cart");
$quote = Mage::getSingleton("checkout/session")->getQuote();
$packageId = Mage::getModel('MyTuxedo_OPP/Package')->checkPackageId();
$products = $this->sortArray();
foreach ($products as $productInfo) {
try {
$split = explode(",", $productInfo);
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($split[0]);
if($_product->isConfigurable()) {
$simpleId = $this->getConfigurableSimple($split[1],$split[3],$split[0]);
} else {
$simpleId = $split[0];
}
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($simpleId);
$options = new Varien_Object(array(
"qty" => 1,
"custom_options" => array(
"package" => $packageId,
"packageName" => Mage::helper('MyTuxedo_OPP')->getPackageName()
)
));
$quote->addProduct($product, $options);
$this->_getSession()->setCartWasUpdated(true);
$quote->save();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
$this->addFreeItems();
}
$cart->save();
unset($_SESSION['products']);
unset($_SESSION['productId']);
$cart->save();
// Let's unset all the package sessions (apart from a few that are needed!).
$this->kill();
}
This method is completely seperate from the generic add to cart handler, and is used purely in a packages system so that it adds simple products exclusively (also breaks down configurables super attribute to find the simple product too).
These simple products have no custom options attached to them in the Magento backend, nor is it a goal to add custom options to the product itself. What I would like to do is attach custom options to the order-line that is then transferred over to the order if a purchase is made. So effectively data that is added at the add to cart method and no where else!
The add to cart method works as expected it's just not including the custom options I am trying to attach. I have also tried defining the options object as simply:
$options = new Varien_Object(array(
"qty" => 1,
"package" => $packageId,
"packageName" => Mage::helper('MyTuxedo_OPP')->getPackageName()
)
The above info, not including qty is not in the orderline object at all, and I can't seem to work out where to move on from here.
Endlessly googling at the moment so some help would be most appreciated!!
I do appreciate I’m instantiating the product model object twice in this, however the plan is to just get it working then optimise! :)
