Ways to empty the cart

do_shortcode
do_shortcode(‘[ESPRESSO_CANCELLED]’);

I take it that no “echo” is needed infront since is a action and not a output?

Page with shortcode
Redirect to some page with this shorcode on and the cart will be emptied [ESPRESSO_CANCELLED]

Adding a link to press which clears the cart
Something like..
<a href="some_ee_url">Clear cart</a>

Its important to note that im refering to a AJAX look-a-like functionality. Im not interested in a page reload or a page-redirect, i can do that with the upper two. The empty cart link have to function the same was as “add to cart”. A spinnin wheel (gif file i presume) will apear and the functionality will be executed.

The top 2 solutions is not a issue, im just showing what i already know. The one im missing is bottom solution with the HTML link.

Is that possible?

Hi,

There isn’t an inbuilt way to clear the cart in one go, barring heading over to the [ESPRESSO_CANCELLED] page, which basics launches a PHP function to clear the session.

You could perhaps modify the jQuery that deals with deleting a single event from the cart and create a new function to clear all and attach that to a button

Hello Dean 🙂

Ok i see.

I take it that it would be totally possible for me to write a new function called __ex_clear_cart(); and make that function clear the cart session array?

Do you see any problem with that?

I don’t see any issues, so long as you load the jQuery in correctly. I would advise using the custom_functions.php or a custom plugin to load the jQuery.

Of course you will need to edit the cart template as well to insert a button (unless the button is in the sidebar etc).
