Separate Products in Shoppng Cart

[Guest]

This may sound like a dumb request but for specific products we want to show them separately in the shopping cart and not have the quantity simply increased when a second product is ordered. The reason being that we collect a lot of information at checkout on a per product basis for certain types of products which we want a customer to be able to order multiples of and we want each to show separately so that the info can be collected. Have had a look at shopping_cart in classes and commented out the line that checks to see if the cart already has products/attributes that matches and increments the quantity. However, it made no difference. So I guess there must be a check somewhere else as well. At present we have restrictions added to application_top to prevent add-to-cart under certain conditions. Have had a look there and made changes - but that did not make any difference either! We already have the code in place to distinguish the products (as at present we prevent add-to-cart if there is a duplicate item in the cart for the particular products that need info collecting).

 

Any pointers would be appreciated.
