Clearing shopping cart/gallery with a button

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I've created a simple order form app. I followed Shane Young's ideas at setting up a shopping cart type app. On one page I call "shopping cart" it displays in a gallery the items they have selected on previous pages. I was able to set up a trash can icon right next to each gallery item that removes them, but I'm looking for two things:

1) A button at bottom of page that will clear all their items in that gallery. I have tried Reset(BrowseGallery2) to no effect.

2) I'd like a way for after they have submitted their order (a button I've created using Shane Young's ideas to populate a Sharepoint list/collection), for it to clear out their gallery and return them to the main page. I got the Navigate down, and even tried Reset(BrowseGallery2) here as well in the OnSelect, but it will navigate away, but not clear anything out.

I'm not sure how to do all this. Plus, I'm not sure how post more details here for y'all to see what I'm talking about. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi @Anonymous
Reset(BrowseGallery2) is clear the selection. We have to Clear(CollectionName) which clears the data from the collection since the gallery data source is collection.

Hi @StalinPonnusamy , hope this finds you well.
May I know at which property or where exactly do I need to use Clear(CollectionName)? Because I am experiencing quite the same issue here.

Hi @Anonymous Clear(CollectionName) would go in the on Select Property of your trash icon as long as you are using a collection not a SP list for the Cart this will work for you.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. Remember, you can accept more than one post as a solution. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi @AndrewR1,
I am sorry for the confusion but in my case, I would like to clear my Cart once a user click on "Submit Order" button. Do I put Clear(CollectionName) in each + icon of each tool because as for now, this is what the OnSelect of + icon looks like:

Collect( SelectedTools, { Item: RawPCBNo_2.Text, Details:Model_2.Text } )

Do I need to modify the code to this?:

ClearCollect( SelectedTools, { Item: RawPCBNo_2.Text, Details:Model_2.Text } )

And on the Submit Order button, I just have Patch and Notify function at OnSelect property and its working fine.

Hi @Anonymous no using collect is the right way to do this as you want to keep the last selection in the collection the code you have used is fine!

Correct Code for the + icon:

Collect( SelectedTools, { Item: RawPCBNo_2.Text, Details:Model_2.Text } )

I would then add Clear(Your Collection) to the end of the on select property of the submit button this will clear once the user has submitted!

On Select property of your Submit Button:

Your Submit Function; Clear(SelectedTools)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. Remember, you can accept more than one post as a solution. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.
