changing quantity format

[Guest]

basicaly what I am looking for is the quantity controler but instead of having a text box I would like a drop down menu.

I am wanting the customer to beable to choose between 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and so on up to 10,000. I don't think it would be hard to do myself, I am thinking that is is just a html change from a text box to a dropdown box with predefined options, I am just looking for someone to point me in the right direction code wise.

 

Thanks

So what you are trying to do is force the choice of how many to be a specific Qty ... and that that might match a discount. But this would keep the customer from selecting 499 when you want 250, 500, 1000, etc.

Well Actually it is for a printing company.

For instance I want to offer envelopes to someone with thier logo on them.

they can buy them is a bundle of 500, 100, 1500, and so on.

The problem is that I can set the quantity of the product at 500 so they see the envelopes and see that the quantity they are purchasing for $20.00 is 500, if they want 1000 they would have to set the quantity to 2 in the shoping cart and now they are buying two packs of 500 for $40.00.

This will get confusing to the customer and also Instead of $40.00 for 1000 I would only charge 25.

 

So I basically am wanting to make my quantity similar to my attributes, where I can specify 6 quantitys to choose from a drop down list and a specific price for each.

oh yea, I looked at what you have as a solution for this, and I liked it, but instead of the text field for quantity I was just wanting to change it to a drop down. But I do not know if I can put a quantity discount at a specific amount instead of a percentage. and also not show the customer that it is a discount. I just want them to see 500 - $20

1000 - $25.00 and so on

The discounts in SEC v1.0 are designed on a per product basis and you can specify if it is an Actual Price or Percentage price discount.

 

I will have to fool a bit with the quantity dropdown idea.

Cool, with the discounts, but the dropdown is something I can more than likely just implement my self in the code via html, I will not need to make any changes to it once I am done, however I might end up with some products with 250 for a quantity and some with 500, and if it is done in the code then it would be the same for all products. If you decide or don't decide to do something like this, just let me know because I would be interested in doing it or helping, I am just slow as I am a php beginer, made a few simple databases and pages but thats about it.

thanks for the info

This is where I was thinking of putting a define of sorts on the categories.php for the product that the dropdown could then be built from.
