Category Quantity: Any suggestions?

[mushindo]

I have a client who requested that we add a quantity input field into the category page.

 

So in example, if a customer clicks into a category and wants to quickly add say quantity of 50 then click the "buy it now" button, it will automatically add it into the cart.

 

Can anyone help with this? I didnt run across any contributions for this.

 

Thanks in advance! :P

Hi,

 

Please remember to back up before you try!!!!!!

 

In catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php files about line 147 locate the following lines;

 

          case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':

           $lc_align = 'center';

           $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', TEXT_BUY . $listing['products_name'] . TEXT_NOW) . '</a> ';

           break;

 

......and change to.....

 

          case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':

           $lc_align = 'center';

           $lc_text = tep_draw_form('cart_quantity', tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product')) . '<input type="text" name="quantity" value="1" maxlength="2" size="2"> ' . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $listing['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_buy_now.gif', TEXT_BUY . $listing['products_name'] . TEXT_NOW) . '</form>';

	 break;

 

This should give you a quantity box next to your buy now button in product listing pages (ps. make sure you've activated Buy Now button in product listings in the admin panel)

 

Now when u change the quantity value for and click buy now that quantity of the product will be added to your cart!

 

Hope it works for ya i tried it with 2.2MS1 and worked fine!

 

Any problems let me know.
