Selecting quantity

Hi

 

I'm getting a bit frustrated here, this is the third time I am posting a similar question.

 

I've read through most af the docs, performed like about half a million searches in the forums but are still coming up short. I have however found several similar questions posted by other; none of those have received an answer either.

 

What I need to know is how I can allow users to choose quantity for an item before clicking the "add to chart" button. I don't want to create a drowdown with numbers 1 to 100, I want the user to simply punch in the number he wants.

 

Surely this must be possible? Almost every shopping cart on the Internet has this feature...

 

I am really stuck here, if this isn't possible I simply must find some other solution for my web site than osCommerce.

 

Help? :(

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jon Oskar.

I'm not sure if this will totally solve the problem, but perhaps would be a good base for customizing a solution for all of your products. It should be quite straightforward to modify for your use.

 

I plan on using/trying it at sometime in the future for a new site.

 

Contribution - "Add Multiple Products"

This is a replacement for the products_listing module. It presents a list of all products in a sub-category, including the attributes realated to each product and a quantity box for each product.

 

What this means is that with 1 click you can add multiple products(with multiple quantities to the cart)

I've added this to my site on my product_info.php page only, not in the product listings.

 

As the product_info.php page already calls the form, I think the only thing I had to do was to add this code where I wanted the quantity displayed:

 

<B>Qty:</B>   <input type="text" name="quantity" value="1" maxlength="2" size="2">

 

HTH,

Hello Tom.

 

I haven't checked out your solution, but I did find this in contributions just a few minutes ago:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ns,1253/page,10

 

It seems like this code will work even though I can't see a error handling in case of nun-numeric inputs. That shouldn't be hard to fix though (fingers crossed). :lol:

 

Amazing actually, that such a flexible piece of software as osCommerce has no built-in method for this "normal" way of doing things... I simply had to read through the contributions till I found this, one by one, I guess I have looked at postings for well over 150 of them. But I'm smiling now anyway.

 

And I don't mean to sound like a nag, but I really would have liked osCommerce a lot better with decent documentation. It seems a bit strange that a whole group of people are willing to work on this userfriendly project for free but still skip one of the most vital things...

 

No misunderstanding I hope: I am really impressed, and REALLY like osCommerce. Good work guys, hope I can contribute something in return one day! Thumbs up!

 

Thanks.

 

Jon O.
