Quantity Prompt

[lessharma]

Hi,

Can someone help with 2 simple problems I have.

Have a look at this page...

http://www.abcbabygifts.co.uk/acatal...ts-create.html

It allows customers to 'Create a baby gift basket' and has worked well for years now, but...

Problem 1:
Customers sometimes forget to buy the empty basket at the top of the page (2 customers today). How do I set the quantity on the 'Empty Basket' product from 0 to 1 always and make it not changeable?

Problem 2:
Customers are asked to buy the empty basket and at least 3 products to go into the basket, sometimes they buy the basket and only 1 or 2 products. I need to make the minimum order quantity for that page only set to 4. I know I can set this up for the whole site but is it possible to apply this to one page only?

Hi Les,

I have been looking at that page for a while now and going round in my head on a better solution that is available in Actinic (without some heavy coding). At the moment the page and procedure is quite clunky (in my mind) and no wonder buyers are getting it wrong - and others probably leaving confused in what they have to do.

If you don't want to go down the product / component route it may be worth considering including the basket free of charge with the gifts and loading the product prices accordingly.

As an aside is there anywhere to include a message card for gifts that are being delivered directly to the 3rd party?

It's easy to make a product layout with a fixed quantity of one.

Duplicate your Product Layout (call it Quantity 1 Layout)you can edit the copy and replace the line

<span class="actrequired"><Actinic:Variable Name="QuantityPrompt"/></span><input type="text" name="Q_<actinic:variable Name="ProductID"/>" size="4" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="DefaultQuantity"/>" class="form_input_general" />

with

<input type="hidden" name="Q_<actinic:variable Name="ProductID"/>" value="1"  />

Now use this layout for your basket product.

Thanks Jont and Norman for your replies.

I've used Norman's code change and that seems to be working great with order today already.

Jont the message for gift card is added by a question in the Actinic checkout.

Norman is their a code change that I can do for that page only so the minimum order quantity 'Total' for all products ordered is say 3 or 4?

That would require some significant JavaScript tinkering. A bit beyond the scope of the free support offered here.

There are prior posts regarding "selling by the case" that may be worth investigating.
