Solution 1

For the loading image on add to cart i might suggest to write a code in your js which loads on that page.

jQuery('a.add_to_cart_button').click(function(){jQuery(this).append('<img src="http://smallenvelop.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Preloader_3.gif" width="20px" height="20px"/>')});

The link to image for loading is for example your can replace it with the one you want to.

Further more before apply the code in a file try to add it in from the browser console.

Solution 2

I have a better solution, there is no need to append some image to the button.

WooCommerce provides a class 'loading'. Simply append this class to Add to Cart button and that's it.

$( '.add_to_cart_button' ).on( 'click', function(){
   $(this).addClass('loading');
});

And as soon as the product is added to cart you can use the removeClass function to remove the loader like

 $(this).removeClass('loading');

And for adding a WooCommerce Loader to a particular section you can use these WooCommerce functions

block( $( 'div.summary.entry-summary' ) );
unblock( $( 'div.summary.entry-summary' ) );

These two function block's and unblocks a particular section by passing the specific id or class.

var is_blocked = function( $node ) {
    return $node.is( '.processing' ) || $node.parents( '.processing' ).length;
};

var block = function( $node ) {
    if ( ! is_blocked( $node ) ) {
        $node.addClass( 'processing' ).block( {
            message: null,
            overlayCSS: {
                background: '#fff',
                opacity: 0.6
            }
        } );
    }
};

var unblock = function( $node ) {
    $node.removeClass( 'processing' ).unblock();
};

You have also some problem in this theme. After refreshing cart become zero. And check in plugin folder assets have [email protected] this image or not

I think you are saying to add 'loader' class, not 'loading'. Right? Also, it only shows the spinner. I want the little transparent overlay box also. Any idea, which class will be used for that?
