Magento: Add the same product to cart several times

I try to add product twice (or several times) to cart, with different attributes values.

I have read this post : Magento: add product twice to cart, with different attributes!

but I haven't found a good clear answer there.

I have overriden the controller "app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers/CartController.php" but I don't know what to do after that.

Add the lens eye (left or right) as a custom option to the product in the backend.

Magento uses product custom options as one of the discriminators between shopping cart items when trying to determine whether to add a quantity to an existing cart item or create a new one.

The user can choose LEFT or RIGHT from the frontend and Magento will show it in the cart as 2 separate products, but deduct the stock from the same physical product.

Go to class Mage_Sales_Model_Quote and search for the method getItemByProduct($product) and make it return false all the time. Be careful, this might interfere with the minimum & maximum allowed in cart for products.

The two product pair if you are trying to add should still have some different attribute... if it is lenses or shoes or gloves add an attribute to tell if it is left or right to distinguish... or else the two products you add count as the same product with quantity 2.
