Misplaced quantity

[Nick C]

Version: 8.5.2.0.0.0.HMVA

At some point over the last couple of weeks I've managed to misplace the option to select "quantities" on the product pages.

Example: removed for the moment

I'm sure once again that this is an easy fix, but I can't for the life of me find the option to add it, nor any suggestion in the manuals. The fact I can't find anybody on the forums either who's had the same problem, suggests to me that once again I'm being dumb.

Hi,

The option to select 'Quantity on Product Page' as your shopping mode is in 'Design menu | Design Options' for the default setting or you can select it at section level on the 'Page Settings' tab.

Thank you Tracy, obvious once it's found

I've also found the option to change the "Quantity" text under Design menu|Text|Misc, but is it possible to remove the text or alter the colour? Removing the current value "Quantity:" removes the quantity box completely and the red text, while being noticeable, doesn't really fit with my overall colour scheme.

is it possible to remove the text or alter the colour?

The colour is set because it is a required field so you could change the colour by going to 'Design | Themes | Advanced Themes Configuration | Color Scheme' and changing the colour for 'Required Field' (this will change it for all fields that are required). If you only want to change it for the quantity text then you can try the following:

- ensure that you have a product or section highlighted in the content tree
- go to the 'Design' tab
- click on the 'quantity' text in the 'Preview Pane'
- this should take you to the 'quantityprompt' variable on the product layout in the code window and you should see something like:

<span class="actrequired">QuantityPrompt</span>

- you could create your own css class and replace 'actrequired' with your class name or remove the '<span class="actrequired">' and '</span> from the above so the text would be the same as your normal text.

To remove the 'Quantity' text altogether you should comment out the above code so it looks like:

<!--<span class="actrequired">QuantityPrompt</span>-->

Note that the above may appear twice within your product layout.

Thank you once again for your detailed reply Tracey, it's an immense help.
