How to show quantity on product listing?

On the product listing page, not the product page, I am listing product in 4 columns with the 'image and title', price and the 'add to cart' button.

This is good, but there is no quantity field to accompany the Add to Cart button. This means it only adds a quantity of 1 to the cart and I really need to have the ability for customers to enter a quantity.

How can I show the Quantity on this page for each product, and position it to the left of the Add to cart button, just as it is on the product page?

Thanks Nicholas. That works perfectly.

Does this still work for version : 1.5.3?

I don't even see the field 'show_quantity_field' called in the php file (listing_img_title.php)

I pasted the code in that file but it did not work for me. No quantity field was shown in my listings page.

So I was wondering where the field was called in the same file, but ofcourse the param could very well be read by every other file, your right about that! :_)

Thanks, it worked! (ofcourse

Would be great to have this param available in the 'HikaShop Options' for modules/menus. Because I only need it in some views, not in all.

Hi

I am new to Hikashop (after giving up on Virtuemart) and am after the same this as in this thread. I have added the code and activated the Add to Cart feature. I can see the "add to cart" button but I can't see the product quantity next to the product.

Do I need to activate something else?

Thanks

Hi,

Did you set the HikaShop Options on your menu-item like this?
Then it should work.

And ofcourse you should have added the code like the admin showed in the above message.

Good luck,

Gosling

Hi, thanks for coming back so quickly.

I added the PHP code as explained. My config is now exactly the same apart from when I change the Sub Element filter to "Direct Sub Elements" the products disappear. Could it be that I have the products set up incorrectly?

OK. No I have it set up exactly like yours and it still isn't playing.

Hi,

I'm just another user that got crazy with Virtuemart. And I am going to setup a new website with Hikashop in the near future and that's why I was playing with Hikashop.

The messages from the admin helped me to get the listing as you cam see in my attachment. (No Design changes done at all here, it's just a test

But as you can see, it works for me.

Did it a while ago so I can't figure out which steps I did except for those mentioned above by the admin.

Btw, the admin respons quick well in this forum!


Succes,

Gosling

ok ok I am an idiot. I was applying it to the wrong template.

Thanks

BTW. When you have set product Characteristics, you can't see the quantity-field in listing-mode.

Thanks for your help. Virtuemart was far too complex to understand. I just never found it intuitive.

So far I think I am as far as you. Any idea how to change the look / CSS so the quantity and the add to cart button aren't so close together, also I would like to move them to the right of the image and not underneath them.

Thanks

I build some sites with Virtuemart, but now I'm changing to Hikashop.

For changes to the layout, you'll need to have (some) knowledge of html and css, and maybe even php & javascript for more complex adjustments.
This knowledge I can't teach you on the fly. You'll have to study it yourself a bit

Goodluck,

Gosling

It didn't work for me to add to the file listing_img_title.php as you suggested, I poked around little among the files and found that if I added the line $this->params->set('show_quantity_field', 1); to the file quantity.php at line 48 it worked and I now have the box as I want.
