Go to the 'modules' section on the left hand side of the admin area. Make sure product options is enabled.
If it is, I have no idea why its not working.

Hi Kiwami -

Just wanted to report I see the same issue on a 4.2.2 X-CART. Everything was working properly until I started adding options/variants to a product.

I see by looking at the differences between 4.2.1 & 4.2.2 - this was an area which was modified - both in the administration and the front end display for 4.2.2

My troubles started when I added product options and variants to a product - then something stuck which is causing various smarty "input_box_enabled" variables to stay set. These variables, when set, will display an input text box no matter what else is set. I suspect there is a bug hidden in the php - not the templates.

Unless there is a setting in the admin somewhere that I don't know about that would set variables like $product.quantity_input_box_enabled??

I'm under the gun right now - so I don't have time to do the steps to verify that it is a bug. For now - I hacked product.tpl and buy_now.tpl to remove the option to display an input text box for quantity - which I don't ever foresee needing. (This cart will never have large quantities to purchase)

Heya,

I'm using 4.2.2 and have the same problem as above.

Can you share what you did to edit the product.tpl and buy-now.tpl as I'd like to do the same but wouldn't dare touch it without guidance.

Thank you.

I have the same issue with 4.2.2, very frustrating, time to hack product.tpl!

I've attached my modified product.tpl. Remember - this is not a fix - it is just a hack - so use with caution.
It removes from the template decisions based on this variable: $product.quantity_input_box_enabled

with the impact of never allowing the quantity box to be input text.

I suspect the setting of that variable might have a problem - but have not had time to figure out how to duplicate the issue so it can reported as a bug.

It would not be a bad idea for someone to review the hack to make sure I am not missing any unintended consequences.

My question is slightly different. I would like to replace the input box as well but the customer wants only the specified quantities to be in the drop down for the reseller (ie; 12,25,50,...500). I other words, the customer doesn't want to sell quantities in between ranges. They are exact quantities only

.. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should approach this in light of all that has been posted here? I would appreciate any input on this. Thanks!
