Default Quantity?

[Penfold]

Hi,

I'd like to set the default quantity on my site to 0. I've read Changing the Default Quantity on the Product Page from the advanced user guide and tried the following: -

<input type="text" size="3" name="Q_NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE" value="0">

It's displayed fine on the page showing the product but if I enter 1 and add it to the cart I get an error message: -

Quantity: The quantity must be a whole number between 1 and 32767.

If however I use the following code: -

<input type="text" size="3" name="Q_NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE" value="CUSTOMVAR:QUANTITY">

Give the product a 'Quantity' value of 0 and then view the product, change the quantity to 1 and add to cart it's fine.

Does this mean that for every product I have to set the default quantity, or is there a way to globaly set it to 0?

Thanks & Regards,

Andrew

If you want to go with the above CUSTOMVAR add it to the site defaults at Design | Options | Site Defaults and add a global value to your CUSTOMVAR

Many thanks for your reply.

I've made the change you suggested and it works fine, with one exception...

I have a section which shows duplicate products. When this page is viewed the value of 0 is shown in the quantity field, as expected, however if I then change the value to 1 and add to cart I get the error:-

Quantity: The quantity must be a whole number between 1 and 32767.

Thanks & Regards,

Andrew

There's a bug in V7 (I've nagged Actinic about it) where NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE fails on duplicates.

Try this instead:

Go back to the original NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY in your Product Templates and try changing Design / Text / Phase -1, ID 2173 from

%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="%s" SIZE="4" VALUE="%d">

to

%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="%s" SIZE="4" VALUE="0">

This will be a global change.
