-- url of the page with the problem -- : mywebsite.com/mypage
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.0
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.18
-- PHP version -- : x.x.x
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : XXXXX x.x.x
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Error_message

in our store i would like to be able to impose a requirement that if products in a certain category are chosen a miniimum number of pieces must be ordered from products in that category. if, in the same order the customer also chooses a Product from another Product Category there is a minimum requirement of 4 for that product. We also have a Product Category that has no minimum requirement.

example:
Product Category Photo Frames minimum of 9 frames are required in an order
Product Category Moulding minimum of 4 is required in that particular product
Product Category Corner Samples no minimum requirement

Can Hikeshop impose those 3 distinct requirements in one order? i was able to sucessfully impose the 4 item limit on a product, but am not sure how to configure the 9 piece requirement that reaches across products.

Thanks

Hello,
There is no option to restrict the number of products from a category, the only way will probably be to use the "'" option of your product configuration page, or to :
- Set the weight of your product to 1kg
- To restrict your shipping method to that category and to order with a maximum weight of 9 kg.

Thanks Mohamed. I'm not sure what "use the "'" option of your product configuration page" means. Can you explain that a little more. Would be the <System, Configuration, Product> menu item, or would that be in the actual product itself? If in the product, would that be set at the top level of the product, or at the varient level?

Thanks!

Hi

I'm not sure what Mohamed wanted to say, but it won't work in your case as there is no option to restrict a shipping method to a category.

No, what should be done in your case is this:
- You create two warehouses. One for the products of that category one for the other products.
- You set the warehouse in each product.
- You create your shipping methods for each warehouse
- for the shipping method(s) for that category of products, you also need to tick the "restrictions" checkbox and then enter the number 9 in the minimum quantity field.

That will allow you you enforce a minimum of 9 products for the products in the warehouse of these shipping method(s).
