quantity box in product_info.php

[npn2531]

In my older modified OSCommerce shopping cart I had a quantity box you could fill out before you added the item to the cart in product_info.php for every product. I don't see this in a vanilla install. Is this a contribution or something I am missing in the admin configuration? I see a couple of contributions to add a quantity box to the includes/modules/product_listing.php, but I had it on every product page in product_info.php.

 

Thanks

Hey George,

 

That's not a standard osC feature, it is a contribution.

 

I have tried a few with no success except this one - Product Quantity Drop Down Box in Product Info V1.2.

 

It is a drop-down box with a maximum according to available stock qty.

 

I tried editing to change from a drop-down to a textbox according to the contrib update - didn't work.

I installed price_break 1.11.2 years ago on a wholesale site. It was kinda hard due to having to merge code with header tags. But anyway, part of this mod added a quantity box on the product listing page. The entire mod may be more than you need, but it would show how to add the box.

I found this:

 

http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/General_Information/Tips_and_Tricks/246

 

and rewrote it for the new version of OSCommerce:

 

to add the quantity box you only needed to do this:

 

in application_top

 

change

$cart->add_cart($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']))+1, $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']); 

to:

 $cart->add_cart($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']))+$HTTP_POST_VARS['cart_quantity'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']);

 

and add this to product_info.php:

 

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