Default quantity

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.5.27
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Safari 8.0.7 (OS X)

Is it possible to set a default quantity in the "add to cart" field on the product page ? We have products which we like to sell per 6 by default. It must be possible to order less than 6 units, but we'd like to stimulate the customers to order by 6 (or another multiple). Therefore, in the add to cart box by default the quantity should be set to 6 instead of 1.

I found a thread to set the minimum value to 0 and also manage to set this to 6 (either through minimum order quantity or by modifying the PHP directly), but in that case I cannot input a lower value anymore.

Hi,

There is no option to change that.
You can edit the file "show_quantity" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views and change the occurrences of : to: so that the default value would be 6, but that you would still be able to set a lower value in the field.

Works like a charm ! Thanks.

Hey Nicolas is there a way to do this in latest Hikashop? I have a client who needs to do the same thing as this but can't work it out at all.

thanks

Hi,

It's still possible but the code to change has evolved.
Now, in that same view file show_quantity.php, you need to change the line:
$current_quantity = hikaInput::get()->getInt('quantity', $min_quantity);
to:
$current_quantity = 6;
