How to use float on Minimum quantity per order

Hi,

I need your help.

I want to change the Minimum quantity per order but the hikashop don't let me do that.
For example, like you can see in this next printscreen the hikashop only let me put the integer values and in my business I need to use float values.

For example, I have products when you can send parts of the product.

One example is that I need do send products with quantities like (0.001, 0.002, 0.003) and not only integers like (1, 2, 3).
But, like we can see in this pictures this don't let me do that.



I have created a plugin and I have something like that:

And in this product page the quantity really appears like I wan't but when i try to add to the cart this don't let me.
For example, if I put 0.2 this round the value to 0 and don't let me to add. But if I put something like 0.5 or 0.6 this round the value to 1 and add to the cart (1), but I don't want (1), I want (0.5).

Can you help me to solve that problem?
Thanks.

Hi,

HikaShop only work with integer quantity for his products.
In the code and in the database, the value will always be an integer, not a float.

Hi,

Ok I understood.

But I really need to transform this integer in a float.

Can you help me please, showing where I need to change the source code and database to put this working with float values?

Thanks.

Hello,
A solution can be to use an "item" custom field through your product page instead of the quantity field, and then develop a custom plugin which will multiply the price of your product regarding the value of that field.

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understood.
Can you explain with some example please?

Thanks

Hi,

You have to create a custom item field via the menu Display > Custom fields, with the type "text", displayed on frontend, and all the desired settings.

This way on the product page the customer will be able to enter any values, then you have to create a plugin which will get this value and do a calculation like price * the_value to have the final price.

As example you can see how the plugin "custom_price" is working and edit it directly.

Here is the documentation for the custom fields:

And here the one for the plugins:
