Getting Order Quantity Number In Product Info Page?

[KingOfMyCastle]

Hi, thanks to the help from this board I have now added a 'quantity' ordered field to the product_info.php page. This is updating the shopping cart as required but it isn't updating the product_info.php page when you go back to it again.

 

The code I've added to create the input field is:

<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="1" maxlength="2" size="2">

 

Because value is hardcoded to '1' every time you go to this product page it shows that you have only ordered 1 product. On the shopping cart page itself it shows the correct quantity.

 

What I want to do is insert the current order quantity into the form like so:

<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="<?php echo $current_quantity; ?>" maxlength="2" size="2">

 

I was hoping something like this would work but it doesn't. I've looked at the code used on the shopping cart page and it uses an array to store information about attributes for each product. But I've had no luck trying to use any of that code to display the quantity ordered on the single product info page.

 

Does anybody know how to make it appear?

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply but I don't think that was what I was looking for. I was looking for a way to display the 'current order item quantity number' on the product info page.

 

The solution you sent me to allows you to add a quantity box but not display the number of units of that item the customer has already put in the shopping basket. Any ideas?

Isn't that shown on the shopping cart info box? It does on mine displayed on the top right corner of the screen - 1 x product A, 5 x product B etc

Yeah, it shows up there. I just wanted it on the product info itself.

 

The logic would be:

 

IF none ordered already THEN put '1' in quantity box ELSE put quantity already ordered value into box.

This would only show up on product info pages that the customer as currently added to the shopping cart already right? If the customer doesn't have that item in the cart it would just say 1 right?

Yes. If the customer hasn't added any so far then the standard '1' should appear. Otherwise the number already added to the cart should appear.

 

Could it be done? Easily? ;)

After noticing my qty boxes go back to one when you add say 5 to the cart. It should echo the qty in the box. I know exatcly what you are talking about know and I would also be interested in this as well.

 

Anyone know how to display the current qty in the qty box after it is added to the cart. Currently after you add more then one it just reverts back to one instead of the amount you have added.
