Add Multiple To Cart

[Guest]

I know there is a contribution out there to do this, but it's not quite the way I'd hope to have it setup.

 

I think everyone could benefit from being able to add quantities to their basket from the products page. Any site with any strong has customers complain about having to click over and over again to add things to their baskets.

 

I think it would be a great benefit to all if we could have this built into OsCommerce even rather than a contribution.

Hi,

 

1. copy this code near your in_cart button in product_info.php, actually you can add this code anywhere.

 

---------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------

 

2. search your application_top.php

 

find this code:

---------------------------------------------

$HTTP_POST_VARS['id']))+1

--------------------------------------------

replace with this one

------------------------------------------

$HTTP_POST_VARS['id']))+$quantity

------------------------------------------

Thank you for that, however I've seen this before as well. It helps the situation a bit, but does not help the multiple products selection from index.php.

 

What I'm looking for is a way to view a category for instance... then you get a list of products on the page under that category. The key here is if I wanted to buy 1 of everything on the page... this would take me FOREVER. You have to click on the "buy now" button and then add to cart, then go back, and buy the next one, and the next one, etc. This is a HUGE problem when dealing with some of my stores who have 3k plus items in their stores, and are the type of stores for instance a homeschool book store. A customer will come and want to buy groups of books for their school year.

 

I hope this better clarifies my problem. If anyone can help, please let me know.

There is a contribution to add more than one product to the basket at once on a single button click. Not sure if it's current (i.e. if it works with MS2).

 

Hth,

Matt

Yes there is a contribution for adding more than one product, but unfortunately it requires you to list EVERY product in your catalog on one page. Some of my catalogs have over 3,000 products.
