Minimal quantity

I've been monitoring this post as I have the same need - to sell in specific quantities and disallow the user to bypass enforced quantities at the shopping cart.

I think it's very close, but in my case, the modification to "product / show_quantity" posted above makes it so that only a single item appears in the quantity selector in the categories listing - that quantity being the maximum of 10,000, and clicking "Add to cart" only adds 100 to the cart. Perhaps I missed another fix made to raphaelr's site on the back-end. Would it be possible to get the entire content of the current "product / show quantity" as it should be?

I've applied the latest two views posted above, and again only a single quantity appears selector in the cart - which I could actually live with...or perhaps this is related to the above "show_quantity", maybe I don't have the latest.

However, in early testing, it appears that customers can still bypass specified quantities when the cart line items are combined.
For example, I may allow quantities of 100, 250, and 500.
It looks like the customer can order 100, then go back and order 250 of the same item to yield a total of 350 (when these are combined in the cart) - which is not a valid option.

Since specific quantity breaks affect pricing, these items should not be combined in the cart even though they're the same item.

Thanks Jerome.

There is still an issue with getting the SELECT PRICE to display correctly in the cart.
As mentioned, only a single item displays in the quantity selector in the cart, and it doesn't necessarily match what was ordered.

Attached is a screenshot of the product page which correctly shows the available quantity breaks, and a screenshot of the cart, which only displays one quantity option in the combobox selector.

I had downloaded and installed the latest yesterday before posting.

When the cart / checkout override is deleted, any value can be entered in a textbox rather than selecting from valid quantities.
The content of this override was from post #243809 above posted by Xavier.

Hi,

If the customer order a quantity of "100" and then another quantity of "250" for the same product, so by default HikaShop will combine the quantities to have "350" and this is not a valid value for the dropdown.

So the solution would be to have a custom item field for the products, let it hidden but file a random value in it in order to have a different product added to the cart, so you will have one product with a "100" quantity and another with a "250" quantity which are two correct values.

Else you can still remove my code for the view "checkout / cart" and set the input field as not editable thanks to a HTML attribute. That way the product quantity will be "350" and the customer will not be able to change it from the cart of the checkout.

I am using a custom field for the customer to upload their artwork that will be used to make the product.
Though the items are not combined in the cart, both have the unit price of the higher quantity.

I added quantity 500 of the product at .46 each, then added 10,000 at .24 each.
In the cart, both items show the unit price of .24

To date, the only solution I've found is to create individual products (or variants) with "Package Size" or "Run Size".
The customer adds quantity 1 of the desired package size (e.g. package of 10,000).
Though this works, it's far from ideal, difficult for the customer to determine the cost each for a given quantity. I can include a table in the product details that has this breakdown, but maintenance when prices change would be very time consuming.

Hi,
sorry for the long time without response.

I've made the changes but now i've got a select file with blank lines... and the number of lines seems higher then expected.
Thanks for you help.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
Step 1: reach the url : www.avitour.travel/avit-rtk/index.php?Itemid=164&lang=fr
Step 2: enter the credentials i've sent by mail days ago.
Step 3: Click on Avishop - Pochettes plastiques (right menu)
Step 4: add 'Pochette Double' to cart,
Step 5: try to change quantity on checkout page -> Problem the field is not as wanted
Step 6: try to end the order -> Error 500

Thanks.
PS : another problem I can't find how to set different shipping method for a product. For example the pochettes can be sent with 3 different shipping method : Quick & fast / Standard / Cheap and slow
But these 3 solutions are available only for this product and not for the other... I've trie the "shipping method by product" plugin but can't figure how it works...

Hi,

For the quantity, please remove the dropdown, in order to have only a non-editable field in the chckout page.
We are currently improving that part and this should be available in the next release.
I can't add the modifications or give you them for now as it involve to many files.

Regarding the 500 error, I don't think it is related, could you post a screenshot of your checkout workflow settings ?

For the shipping methods, does your products have a weight or do you have enabled the option "Force shipping regardless of weight" in Configuration > Checkout > Shipping ?
