Decimal in Product Quantity (inventory/stock)

Hi,

The inventory quantity can only be an integer, so no decimals.
I'm afraid you won't be able to do what you want.

Hi,

Supposing that you're using the auto update products cron plugin for the import, before the line:

foreach($this->fields as $field){

if(isset($product->product_quantity)) $product->product_quantity = (int)floor($product->product_quantity);

Hi,

Well, the simplest would be to leave the quantity as unlimited and then:
1. create a custom product field to store the stock with decimals.
2. create a custom item field to allow the customer to enter a quantity with decimals on the frontend
3. create a HikaShop plugin and implement different events to update the value, change the price, etc:
- with the onAfterProductQuantityCheck event, you can check that the requested quantity in the custom item field is smaller than the available stock in the custom product field:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...ProductQuantityCheck
- with the onBeforeCalculateProductPriceForQuantity or onAfterCalculateProductPriceForQuantity event, you can change the price of the product in the cart based on the value entered in the custom item field:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...ductPriceForQuantity
- with the onAfterOrderCreate and / or onAfterOrderUpdate events, you can update the value of the custom product field based on the value entered by the customer in the custom item field:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...l#onAfterOrderCreate

The main drawback of this solution is that you don't actually use the quantity system of HikaShop. So the quantity column in the cart / order will always be "1". It's possible to hide it (same with the normal quantity input field). Also, the "out of stock" or "waitlist" plugins won't take your custom product field into account.

However, the advantage is that you don't need to modify any core files of HikaShop. Just a plugin with 100 to 200 lines of code and 2 custom fields (and maybe some CSS to hide the quantity to 1 here and there ) should be enough.
