increases the quantity of the cart by min.order

Hello,

A customer sells floor coverings. The price he refers is for 1 square meter. (thats very important that this is the price shown!)
But now you can only order 3 square meters at a time. How can I influence the cart so that it always increases the quantity by 3 (minimum order quantity is 3)

I hope the question was expressed understandable?!

Best regards
Maya

Hi Maya,

The best solution will probably be to use a product which will be a 3 square meters product.

Hello,

thanks for helping!

the thing is all shops that sell floor coverings show the price by 1 square meter - so if he shows the package price it seems much more expensive...

i already get throuth the diffrent views to find the right place where i could pragramm something like this... i have a checkbox called "square meter product" > so i should be able to make a diffrence between normal products and square meter products...

now i should be able to make a query that increase in square meter products the cart quantity only by minimum order quantity... but i can't find the right view where i have to write such a query... (programin should not be a problem)

So the solution will probably be to do it through the "administrator/components/com_hikashop/helper/cart.php" file, by overriding the hikashop_quantity_render function.

Hello
thanks a lot for helping!!!

Now i had the time to test this...

So far I found the solution ... but now i have an other little questions...

how am i able to get the value of a custom field in the file "administrator/components/com_hikashop/helper/cart.php" file
i have some custom fields where i need to get the value from for my variable $quantitysteps =5;



and here are my changes if anyone has the same ideas

change:

<a id="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_plus_'.$i.'" class="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_plus hikashop_product_quantity_field_change" href="#" onclick="return hikashopQuantityChange(\'hikashop_product_quantity_field_'.$i.'\',1,'.$max_quantity.','.$min_quantity.');">+</a>

<a id="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_minus_'.$i.'" class="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_minus hikashop_product_quantity_field_change" href="#" onclick="return hikashopQuantityChange(\'hikashop_product_quantity_field_'.$i.'\',0,'.$max_quantity.','.$min_quantity.');">&ndash;</a>

$quantitysteps =$min_quantity; 

<a id="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_plus_'.$i.'" class="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_plus hikashop_product_quantity_field_change" href="#" onclick="return hikashopQuantityChange(\'hikashop_product_quantity_field_'.$i.'\','.$quantitysteps.','.$max_quantity.','.$min_quantity.','.$quantitysteps.');">+</a>

<a id="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_minus_'.$i.'" class="hikashop_product_quantity_field_change_minus hikashop_product_quantity_field_change" href="#" onclick="return hikashopQuantityChange(\'hikashop_product_quantity_field_'.$i.'\',0,'.$max_quantity.','.$min_quantity.','.$quantitysteps.');">&ndash;</a>

function hikashopQuantityChange(field,plus,max,min){

fieldEl.value=parseInt(fieldEl.value)+1;

fieldEl.value=current-1;

function hikashopQuantityChange(field,plus,max,min,steps){

fieldEl.value=parseInt(fieldEl.value)+steps;

fieldEl.value=current-steps;

All your customfield are saved through your Hikashop database tables, so I think that you'll just have to do with an SQL request.

ok i thought about that - but is there no way to get it over the hika shop functions
> in the view im able to aks a field by this->row->meter

would be a bit nicer than a sql query...

and how do i find out the id of the product when i'm in this view (i would need it for the query)

Hi,

There is an easiest solution, in the product configuration page, you can edit the value of the field "Minimum quantity per order" and set it to 3.
By this way the customer must take minimum 3 products, so 3 squares meter and the price displayed is for 1 square meter.
