Successful procedures are built upon many visions...and many ideas especially the general public and how to make it pliable for them. No, there isn't more than one point of view on this one. There is only one, and it's the people that actually have to use the shopping cart. It's not fair to ALLOW someone to shop around on 30 category.tpl pages, adding to cart "incorrectly and inaccurately if there is a minimum set" only to discover on product.tpl and/or cart.tpl that there is a minimum. It's counter intuitive..counter productive and a waste of time. I find this silly to even debate, or rebut.MarketInSG wrote:i2Paq has a point here. I will say go with redirecting to the product page, just like how options work. The customer will then see that there's a minimum order of xx amount. So he knows that he has to pick the right quantity.
Looking from daniel's point of view, he makes a point too. We won't know how many quantity the customer wants. There's many permutation to this. So I would say checking for minimum quantity OR forcing minimum quantity at the category page is a 'no good'. I will say i2Paq idea is betterit solves both sides of a problem
@Daniel, could we please come to an agreement on this. 
Otherwise we, the shop owners that do not agree with the way it is currently set up, can work on an alternative to offer to users that want it to work like the Options does.
Thanks!

This is only necessary if your options are not "required" otherwise the system already does that.k2tec wrote:I changed the category.tpl so the buy now button is info button which redirect to the product.tpl, because I work with a lot of options
I believe, like most people in this topic, it should work like the way options work; redirect to the product page and a warning message.Daniel wrote:i will sort something tomorrow.
thinking of adding an attention message when they add to the cart with the minimum order qty listed.
That would be the most beautiful solution.

Sorry for my late post
org. 1.5.2.1 round line 94 catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\category.tpl
this also in manufactor, feathered, bestseller, and special.tpl
to
org. 1.5.2.1 round line 94 catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\category.tpl

Code: Select all
<input type="button" value="<?php echo $button_cart; ?>" onclick="addToCart('<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>');" class="button" />
Code: Select all
<div class="cart"><a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>" class="button"> <?php echo $button_info; ?></a></div>
.... and I apologize for the delay in replying to your post but thanks for the code - I am happy that this sorts things out for me. Simple and straight forward. Working fine on 1.5.3.1 also for those of you who are curious.
I also added this code change to latest and search and to some addon modules I had installed - I made the button say 'View & Purchase' and all is good!

Can I ask, is there going to be an official fix for this issue? I notice a suggestion to this effect from Daniel a few posts above and was hoping that 1.5.4.1 might address this issue but it still remains.
Thanks

So... Will there be a fix on this?
I have a client that exclusively have 5-10 as minimum amount.
product.tpl is rarely used and is only for customers that want extra information or want to write a review.
This basically means I can't use category.tpl, which is a serious problem.
Is there any other temporary fix for this so it atleast can be used with OC 1.5.4.1?
Cheers

I was reviewing this flaw since one of our customers complained. Mentioning they avoid our web site for this very reason, unless they cannot find the same item somewhere else. Disturbing.
So I have noticed the problem still exist in version 1.5.6.3, even after 2 years since I originally posted this discovery.
Will the flaw carry over to OpenCart 2.0? Has anyone come up with a fix that enters the correct minimum quantity from any page that has a add to cart button on it, side bars etc?
Thanks for all the hard work out there.

I'm a newbie but isn't it possible to somehow copy the code from the product.tpl that makes it show the min q from the start into .tpl's for search, category, manufacturer and featured etc. ??
I found an extension that does the job in category so it should be possible?!
