SimpleCart additional information with custom columns

Question

I am using the SimpleCart Javascript Library.

I want to add an id to each product and when the user proceeds to checkout, these id's would be sent as well.

Instead of these columns, for example:

Name   Price
book   5$

I want to have a Product Id column include as well:

Id   Name   Price
3    book   5$

I've tried inserting the id into the options, but I had no luck doing so.

Can someone show me a detailed example doing so?

Answer 1

This can be set up like this:

In your simplecart set up under "cartColumns" add

{ attr: "id" , label: "ID" }

Like this:

cartColumns: [
        { attr: "image", label: "Item", view: "image"},
        //Name of the item
        { attr: "name" , label: "Name" },
        { attr: "id" , label: "ID" },
                    //etc………

Then you can use either:

<span class="item_id">ID:1</span>

or like this:

simpleCart.add({ name: "Shirt" , price: 4, id: 1 });

and it should show up in your columns.
