I want to get rid of the drop down quantity box so that the default added to the cart is 1 item. Following instructions in another post I tried replacing

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>

with

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1">

Unfortunately this didn't work. The drop down box stayed although whatever quantity you selected only one item would be added to the cart. Can anyone suggest a resolution?

Thanks!

On a version 3.4 store?

Hi adpboss,

On a version 3.4 store?

Yes indeed. I have someone working on upgrading the store, but as he said, "The 3.4.x >> 3.5 was having issues," so we're a bit stuck at the moment.

Thanks.

Just realized the drop down box has gone from the product details page, so I've had partial success. It was the featured products area I was trying to work on so I've presumably just changed the wrong tpl file. I'll hunt again for the same code elsewhere.

[adpboss]

It might be buynow.tpl. Hope that helps.

That's the one! I'd just tracked it down by using windows explorer to search for files in the customer/main folder containing the term "select" Nw I just need to figure out exactly what to change. Boy, this software is complicated!

Learn how to use the Webmaster Mode. It will make your life easier in the future.

I wish X-Cart made Webmaster Mode Instructions page one of the manual.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to get to grips with Webmaster Mode as soon as possible.

Right now I'm struggling to work out which bit of the code below to comment out in order to lose the drop-down box but keep the "add to cart" button, and have that button add one item to the cart by default. Any help would be much appreciated.
