Form validations on products

[crewdy]

Hi everyone, were are in the process of building a site, and have run into a problem.

What we are trying to do is make it so that when we click an add to cart button, if the sum of the products does not add up to 12, the customer will recieve an error message, and prompted to try again.

The page we are working on is here.

We have tried placing a java validation script in the product description, with the code by the cart button, but it didn't work.

We are hoping someone can guide us in the right direction, and maybe come up with a solution.

Thanks in advance,
Pete.

Hi Pete

I'm verifying with my senior colleagues if this can be done. As soon as I hear from them I'll get back to you.

This has already been covered on this Forum. See http://community.actinic.com/showthr...=&threadid=384

There may be other posts that cover the same. Try searching.

Hi Pete

Just wanted to make sure this is exactly you want to do. If a customer does not have 12 or more products in the shopping cart they should not be able to check out. Is this right? Then solution is as follows

______________________________________________________________

Edit Act_Order00.html and look for the line:-
<input type=SUBMIT name=ACTION value="NETQUOTEVAR:NEXTBUTTON">
REPLACE it with:-
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
/************************************************************/
*
* getCartItem - Gets the Actinic Cart Value & No of Items
*
*************************************************************/

//CART_CONTENT = Cookie name
//1 = TOTAL_VALUE
//3 = CART_COUNT

function getCartItem(index)
{
var act_cart= getCookie("CART_CONTENT")
temp =(act_cart != null) ? temp=act_cart.split("\t"):0;
return (temp.length > 0) ? temp[index] : 0;
}
// -->
</script>

<input type=SUBMIT name=ACTION value="NETQUOTEVAR:NEXTBUTTON" onclick="if (getCartItem(3) >= 2) {return true;} else {alert('Minimum order is 2 items');return false;}">
<!-- <input type=SUBMIT name=ACTION value="NETQUOTEVAR:NEXTBUTTON"> -->

Where it says
if (getCartItem(3) >= 2)
the '2' can be replaced with another minimum quantity

Hope this helps

Not quite, the solution we're looking for is just on the one page of the website, and it is if the customers total of the 3 drop down boxes does not add up to 12, then they will not be able to add the product to their cart until it does.

Hope that makes sense.
