is there a contribution or way to put an "add quantity" column in the product listing pages. like something so customers can type in for more than one of the same item. its already on the shopping cart page, but i wanted something thats always on the product listing pages. i've tried looking through the forums but i always get results that have nothing to do with what im looking for.

Search for the contributions "easy way add Qty box" and/or "Add Multiple Products"...should point you in the right direction

Thanks, I was looking for the same thing; that link really helped.

 

Now, does anybody know how I would add that next to the "buy now" column in the index.php listing of products? This would help a ton.

On the product listing pages, you would have to either add a form to each row or find a way to catch all the quantity boxes. Note: the recently released Master Products contribution does something like this. Maybe it might fit your needs, or you could steal code from it for your purposes.

 

Hth,

I tried adding a form to each row, but I can't figure it out. I've looked at master products, and it's not going to work for me.

 

I'm really rather stuck, which is bad because my customer REALLY wants this feature one their site.

Take another look at how its done in Master Products - there is only one form which covers all the rows - the file is includes/modules/master_listing.php... or, look at one of the 'multiple' contributions (product_listing.php).

To make it so that your quantities only work one row at a time, change (around lines 131-4 of includes/modules/product_listing.php)

          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', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
           break;

to

          case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
           $lc_align = 'center';
           $lc_text = tep_draw_form('buy_now' . $listing['products_id'], tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']), 'GET') . tep_draw_input_field('quantity', '1') . tep_image_submit('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</form> ';
           break;

and around line 367 of includes/application_top.php, change

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

to

                                  $cart->add_cart($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'], ((isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['quantity'])) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['quantity']) : $cart->get_quantity($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) + 1));

Note: first, this code replaces the quantity in the cart with the one that is picked (i.e. if you have 3 in the cart and select 2 here, you will have 2 in the cart, not 5); second, I'm not sure that there is any real gain doing it this way over a method that handles all the rows (except that it is simpler to write) and there is a loss. Under this method, if someone changes quantities in a row but clicks the buy_now button in a different row, the quantity change in that row will be lost. Some customers will probably find that confusing.

 

Hth,

i think it has something to do with the code for the application_top, if i dotn change that the quantitybox shows up, just what would be wrong with the code in application top?????

Looks like the () were wrong, try

                                 $cart->add_cart($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'], ((isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['quantity'])) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['quantity'] : ($cart->get_quantity($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) + 1));

easy way add Qty box in your product_info.php

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

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

 

done!

It looks like you are missing the 'GET' parameter from the tep_draw_form call. It's doing a form post instead, which doesn't match the other code.

ok so what do i do then??

Thanks, Matt. You're awesome.

 

I've got this running on my site. Unfortunately, there are two bugs:

The quantity field is too big (easily fixable, I'm sure)

 

The buy now button takes me to the login page (a much bigger problem)

 

It's up at www.scrapbookersparadise.com/catalog/

 

Any ideas what's wrong?
