Quantity Drop-down based on price break quantities

Hi All,

I've seen the code to change the quantity field into a drop-down box, but I need to be able to set the drop-down values and display based on pricing information for a particular product. If "Product A" has pricing for quantities 1, 50, 150, and 500, I would like the dropdown to display those four values, with the price being the unit price for that price break times the quantity. The quantities and pricing will vary from one product to another. Having a quantity field in the cart is OK, as is the normal price break calculation.

It's in the "add to cart" display of the product that I need to perform this function.

I've taken the code suggested and have created the drop-down, but the quantities are hard coded. I've also used PHP print_r to see what, if any, values the $element, $obj, and $this vars might hold, but they seem to be empty. Are there any vars that would be available in the function defined in hikashop_button.php?

Thanks!

Hi Nicolas,

I looked at that view, but it only seems to apply to displaying a single product. I want to display the quantity drop-down in a list of products. Is this the same view to edit, and if so, how do I know which product id applies each time it is called in the product list?

Thanks for your help!

I'll check that out.

Is there any list of what view(s) apply where? I kind of see a naming pattern, but there are so many files, I haven't deciphered their meaning yet. There are several changes I need to make to the appearance of each product in the product listing, and how they behave.

I'm just starting some of this discovery, but I'll need to be able to make sure that when a user adds a product to the cart, it will be confirmed in a pop-up and they will stay on the current page. I'll also probably need to update a cart display module on the same page, but that hasn't been decided yet. IOW, the customer will see a list of products, with the current cart displayed in the left column, and as they add items, the cart would show the items that have been added. I haven't checked to see of the existing module will do this, but I suspect that it only updates when the page is displayed. At least that is what I would expect the module to do. I'll probably drop that feature if I can't figure out how to update the cart module using ajax or similar.

Sorry for the long reply.

I need to build a picture in my mind of what views are used where in the product list - how they relate, how they are nested, how they are called, that sort of thing.

BTW, the docs are pretty good, just a lot to take in all at once. I'm sure I've missed some critical bit in there that would give me the hint I need to understand the structure. I probably deserve a RTFM, but I am "reading the manual", it's just a bit slow going for me for now.

All that said, is there a place you can point me that might shed some light on there where's and how's?

Thanks!!

Thanks Nicolas for all of you help!

I'll try and use the non-SEF trick to speed up my discovery process.
