Extending Cart item object

[markovica]

Hi,

been strugling for a wile and can;t seem to get it...

I need to extend the cartitem object to hold few more variables I will pass through a form

Cart  1.7.2 
CGCalendar  1.5.5 
CGEcommerceBase  1.2.2 

my add to cart tempalte is

Code: Select all

{* add to cart template *}
{if isset($cart_error)}
{cgerror}{$cart_error}{/cgerror}
{/if}

{$formstart}
      <p>Select date<br />
      {cms_module module="CGCalendar" display="upcominglist" unique_only=1 upcominglisttemplate="dateselector" filtercourse=$entry->product_name}</p> 
      <input type="text" name="{$quantityname}" value="1" size="2" maxlength="2" style="display:none;" />
      {if isset($attribute_count) && $attribute_count gt 0} 
         {foreach from=$attributes item='attrib'}
             {$attrib->name}: {$attrib->control}
         {/foreach}
      {/if}
      <input type="submit" name="{$submitname}" value="{$addtocarttext}" style="margin-left:20px;" />
{$formend}

in the end I will end up with 2 drop down date selectors from CGCalendar and will need to pass those selected dates to cart for processing in the invoice and further in the form builder in some cases...

I just can't seem to find it - i'm on my first cmsms project, and I invested a lot of time in theoretical thinking how to implement some functionality, but when I looked under the hood, it all seems much more complicated than I thought - it theory, what i'm trying to accomplish is fairly simple...

extend the cart -> assign variables to it -> process later with UDT and FormBuilder

Please help
