Drop down for quantity

dprice.sf · #1 10-03-2005, 09:27 AM

I currently only use the wholesale pricing for my store.

I would like to have the quantity drop down menu display in multiples of 50 rather than 1-999.

Does anyone know where or how I could modify this?

see customer/buny_now.tpl

and see this

Code:

<SELECT name="amount">
{if $product.min_amount le 1}
{assign var="start_quantity" value=1}
{else}
{assign var="start_quantity" value=$product.min_amount}
{/if}
{section name=quantity loop=$mq start=$start_quantity}
<OPTION value="{%quantity.index%}" {if $smarty.get.quantity eq %quantity.index%}selected{/if}>{%quantity.index%}</OPTION>
{/section}
</SELECT>

thanks shan.

i'm still a little confussed about which variable i'll need to modify and how.

i took a look at the link you included - but didn't see an example of a loop based on a fixed variable.

hi,

its something like this

Code:

{section name=quantity loop=$mq start=$start_quantity step=5}

i added the step value to change the increment

you could also change the start value so that i begins with say 5 instead of 1

made the change as you suggested - but nothing has changed

the code i changed was in /customer/main/buy_now.tpl and is below

Code:

<SELECT name="amount">
{if $product.min_amount le 1}
{assign var="start_quantity" value=1}
{else}
{assign var="start_quantity" value=$product.min_amount}
{/if}
{section name=quantity loop=$mq start=$start_quantity step=5}
<OPTION value="{%quantity.index%}" {if $smarty.get.quantity eq %quantity.index%}selected{/if}>{%quantity.index%}</OPTION>
{/section}
</SELECT>

that was what you were talking about - right?

thats just right and should be step=50 for you

youll also need to alter the same code in skin1/customer/main/product.tpl

I modified Shan's idea a bit to allow my site to sell both single items and items in case quantities. My mod is here: http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=26655

I can't seem to get this to work on my site. I need to change the quantity dropdown on the product details page to increments of 500. I've added the step function into the section for the quantity dropdown in /customer/main/product.tpl.

This is what my code looks like:

PHP Code:


		
			
<select id="product_avail" name="amount"{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne '' && $product_options ne ''} onchange="check_wholesale(this.value);"{/if}>
{section name=quantity loop=$mq start=$start_quantity step=500}
<option value="{%quantity.index%}"{if $smarty.get.quantity eq %quantity.index%} selected="selected"{/if}>{%quantity.index%}</option>
{/section}

However, the quantity dropdown still shows increments of 1. Is there something I'm missing? Has something changed with the latest version of X-cart which means this code no longer works?

If anyone can help me with this, I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
