How to get a hidden value from product_info.php to shopping_cart.info

[Guest]

Hi all :)

 

Firstly I am new to php / mysql but am familiar with asp / access so I do understand some things! Also, I am not too sure if I should post this here or in the contrib forums

 

I am trying to make a (what will be) contribution that allows a user to set the minimum quantity to prurchase for each item - there is a contrib that sets a default for all items, but I need to be able to set different minimum quantities for each item.

 

I have made the chages to the products table, and through the admin I can set the minimum for each product, change it and delete it.

 

In the catalog I can get, on the product_info.php page it to say "This product requires a minimum purchase of XXX" where XXX is the number set in the admin.

 

Now, in the code part for the add to cart button I have added the products_min_qty bit in the following code (about line 260):

 

<td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_min_qty', $product_info['products_min_qty']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td>

 

If I do a view source, the right value is there.

 

How do I get the value in the shopping cart? I have tried various things but I can not pull it through! I need somehow to have it as part of the info for each product in the shopping cart so if a user tries to lower the quantity below the minimum they will not be able to do it.

 

Any advise and help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! :D

The Quantity Price Breaks Per Product contribution already does that (among other things).
