Hi,

In HikaShop the quantity is an integer, so it is not possible to have half quantities.
So it will require a lot of modifications for this behaviour.

The best solution could be to use a custom item field for the weight, and then use the plugin "system / custom quantity weight" to do a price calculation based on the weight custom field.

Hi,
I will create plugin. I see have plugin: system/custom_quantity_tax and have some function. Can you let me know some function can use for my plugin or Can you give me link to API for this work ? I realy need it.

For the product quantity calculation I only see calculate for hikashop_product_price_for_quantity_in_cart() and hikashop_product_price_for_quantity_in_order() If I use ajax, how to calculate price ?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Wait a bit. Why not simply use a characteristic for the selection of the weight ?
You could then set the price of each weight variant of the product and it would work automatically like you want.
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...html#characteristics

If nevertheless you want to use a custom field coupled with a custom plugin, it is mainly for the calculation of the product price once added to the cart. If you want to refresh the price on the product page when you change the selection in the field, it will require the modification of the file "show_block_custom_item to add your own javascript call when the dropdown is changed so that you can update the price displayed manually on the page.

I'm selling meat per kg, I used characteristics to allow the customer to buy 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2kg. Now the issue is with stok numbers. If I have 50kgs in stock, and the customer buys 10 x 2kg packs, it only deducts 10kgs from the stock, not 20kg.

Is there a function to address this or is it down to custom php coding?

Hi,

There is no system to have a coefficient on the quantity of the variants of products.
So that would require custom plugin to calculate that if you decide to keep it like that.

Alternatively, you could have your quantity in grams. So for example, you would have 50000 of stock if you have 50kg of that product in stock.
And then, instead of using variants, you could instead add prices with "minimum quantity" for each step you want for the selection and then set the "quantity input method" option of the product to "show select price".
So if you have prices like that for the product:
min qty | price
500 | x
750 | x*1.5
1000 | x*2
...etc...
You would get a quantity input as a dropdown with the quantities 500, 750, 1000, etc available in it.
That way, you would get a unified stock control for all the choices, but you'll loose a bit on display since you can choose what will be displayed in the dropdown for each choice. It will just be the numbers (unless you customize the display of course).
