Dropdown and Quantity inputs on MoreInfo page

[mquinn614]

Hello all,

First post in this forum. Bought ShopSite Pro about 3 weeks ago, and I've been very pleased with it. Many of the posts in the forum have helped me a great deal.

Here's my issue: On certain MoreInfo pages, I want to have the following:

- A dropdown box that lets the user select a Subproduct
- A Quantity box
- The add to cart button

The code I've used works properly if the user selects the first item in the dropdown list. However, if any other item in the list is selected, "1" of that item is added to the cart, regardless of what is entered in the Quantity input box.

Code: Select all

<form action="[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL BASE --]/order.cgi" method=post>
<input type=hidden name=storeid value=[--Store.id--]>
<input type=hidden name=dbname value=products>
<input type=hidden name=function value=add>
<TABLE style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
<TR><TD>
[-- IF PRODUCT.SubProduct --]
<p>
Select Length:
</p>
<SELECT name="itemnum">
[-- LOOP SUBPRODUCTS  --]
  [-- SUBPRODUCTS --]
[-- END_LOOP SUBPRODUCTS --]
</SELECT>
Quantity <input type="text" size="2" name="[-- PRODUCT.RECORDNUMBER --]:qnty" value="1">

[-- ELSE_IF PRODUCT.QuantityPricing--]
[-- PRODUCT.QuantityPricing --]
<input type=hidden name=itemnum value=[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]>
Quantity <input type="text" size="2" name="[-- PRODUCT.RECORDNUMBER --]:qnty" value="1"></center>

[-- ELSE --]
<input type="hidden" name="itemnum" value="[-- PRODUCT.RecordNumber --]">

[-- PRODUCT.Price --]
Quantity <input type="text" size="2" name="[-- PRODUCT.RECORDNUMBER --]:qnty" value="1"></center>

# end the IF PRODUCT.subproducts
[--END_IF--]


<br><br>
########################
#    ADD TO CART       #
########################
<div align="center">
<input type=image src="http://www.expcomm.com/media/buttons/deepred_addtocart.jpg" alt="add_to_cart.gif" name="Add to Cart" alt="Add to Cart">
</div>
</form>



The code works perfectly when the ELSE_IF (Quantity pricing) and ELSE (no quantity or subproduct options) sections are called, but fails when the IF Product.Subproduct section is called. I would bet my problem has something to do with

name="[-- PRODUCT.RECORDNUMBER --]:qnty"

referencing the current product page rather than the dropdown box.

Other than that I am at a total loss. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

Remove the extra <input type> under the Loop Subproducts and that should fix it.

Hi Janice,

Thanks for your advice and for the quick reply! Please allow me to clarify:

Removing the line with [<input type="text"] gets rid of the Quantity box entirely from the MoreInfo page when there is a subproducts dropdown. My goal is to have both the dropdown and a quantity box in this situation. The user would select one subproduct in the dropdown list, then enter a quantity in the textbox, and finally hit add to cart.

Thoughts?
Mike

If the product that is being purchased is a subproduct then the [-- Product.recordnumber--] will be incorrect, since it would be for the main product not the subproduct. You would need to get the record number for the subproduct somehow and use that in the quantity field so that the appropriate subproduct is added and the quantity field matches that record number.

Jim hit the nail on the head, that is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. Can anyone suggest the ideal way to approach this?

You'll probably need some Javascript to update the item's Product Record Number value based on the selection in the drop-down menu.
