Add products to cart using drag & drop in magento

Question

I want to add products to cart using Drag & drop. For that I am using jQuery UI Droppable . Code is:-

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css" />
  <script>
     $(function() {
$( ".category-products" ).accordion();
$( ".product-name" ).draggable({
  appendTo: "body",
  helper: "clone"
});
$( ".block-content ol" ).droppable({
  activeClass: "ui-state-default",
  hoverClass: "ui-state-hover",
  accept: ":not(.ui-sortable-helper)",
  drop: function( event, ui ) {
    $( this ).find( ".placeholder" ).remove();
    $( "<li></li>" ).text( ui.draggable.text() ).appendTo( this );
  }
}).sortable({
  items: "li:not(.placeholder)",
  sort: function() {
    // gets added unintentionally by droppable interacting with sortable
    // using connectWithSortable fixes this, but doesn't allow you to customize active/hoverClass options
    $( this ).removeClass( "ui-state-default" );
  }
});

});

Using this code products name become droppable to cart but they are not added to cart. I try but don’t able to add product name to cart. Please help me.

Answer 1

Assuming that your product dont have any custom option.

Store your product id as an hidden field within you product list (draggable li)

      <li>Lolcat Shirt
          <input type='hidden' value='2' name='pid' />
      </li>

Then do

  drop: function( event, ui ) {
    $( this )
      .addClass( "ui-state-highlight" )
      .find( "> p" )
        .html( "Dropped!" );

    add product to cart
    p_id = ui.draggable.find('input[name="pid"]').val();
    $.get("/path/to/app/checkout/cart/add?qty=1&product=" + p_id)

    return false;
  }

You will need to do something similar to remove item
