Quantity Selection + Order Anywhere

[briden]

Hello all,
Has anyone found a way to allow order quantity specification in their
order anywhere links? I've tried inserting the qnty option in the CGI call
to no avail.
If it isn't possible through order anywhere, can it be done with custom
pages and smart tags?

TIA,
briden

Make a test page in ShopSite and assign it a product that has the Display
quantity box option checked on. Publish the page, and then look at the HTML
source, and you will see that when you add the quantity box and/or pull-down
menu options to the pages the order buttons are no longer simple href links,
they are now submit buttons for a FORM (required to collect the arbitrary info
that can be placed in the quantity field or selected in the pull-down).

In v6 OrderAnywhere will be able to give you the HTML for this form, but right
now you can either copy it from a ShopSite-generated test page, or if you can
see how it is done you may be able to make the forms on your own using the
example from the test page and the itemnum used in the normal OrderAnywhere
URL.

Very good!
I was flirting with the solution the whole time. Just didn't click. Good
think it didn't have teeth!

Thank you, Loren.
