adding quantity box to category.tpl in 1.5.05

Been staring at this for hours so I give up and am asking. I think I have most of what I need to get the quantity box working but it's not actually adding to the cart. I put this in category.tpl from product.tpl, changed it a bit: and then I put the javascript button-cart from product.tpl in category.tpl too. Everything displays fine, it just doesn't do anything when I click.
I know it's going to be something stupid but I don't understand this code well enough yet, and I'm not that strong of a web coder. Do I need anything from the product.php file? I couldn't find anything that looked important.
Thanks,
mark

I'm really trying to figure this out as well.

Have you had any luck ?

I did more or less the same thing as you did and I probably think it's something small, but I don't know what

No, I haven't figured it out. I gave up and moved onto other things, and was really hoping that someone who knows what they're doing would make a module or a vqmod. I'll post here and let you know if I ever figure it out!

<div class="cart"><div>
  <a id="button-cart" class="button"><span><?php echo $button_cart; ?></span></a>
  <input type="text" name="quantity" size="2" value="1" />
  <input type="hidden" name="product_id" size="2" value="<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>" />
</div></div>

I also want to be like you

I think I might know why nothing happens when you press button.

Probably some piece of code needs to be copied from catalog/controller/product/poduct.php
to
catalog/controller/product/category.php

I'm trying to find it, but I'm not that smart when it comes to php

I WANT THIS TOO.

I need this too... Any idea's

Has anyone figured this out yet? if not then let me know, I'll see what i can do! In the mean time use photoshop to show me what you guys are trying to achieve!

Whatever I do, I'm usually successful at even though I started to learn PHP and javascript 3 months ago!
Cheers!

Hi Jazee,

No, still haven't found the solution... and YES, still interested! What do you mean by 'show you on photoshop'??? I think the question is self explained ie: add a quantity box for each product in the category pages.

eg: product A has a price of 5€

for the moment you can just add product A to cart and the quantity will ALWAYS be ONE(1).

... we need (like in product) a quantity textbox before the 'buy' button to change the quantity (not only one) so that the amount in quantity of that product is added to cart when pressing the 'add to cart' button. Clear?

I've tried a few things but nothing works?!!!

Good luck and let us know if you find the solution.

Inspire the future

regards,

GSdev

thank-you Celestial... it works :-))) mod on my 1.4.9.3 with slight change and all OK.

works on later versions too.

for those on 1.4.9.3...

change on first modification line in link:
$this->data['action'] = $this->url->link('checkout/cart');
to:
$this->data['action'] = HTTPS_SERVER . 'index.php?route=checkout/cart';

... and the rest works fine.

cheers

Hi all, is good hear this, you can translate all the procedure for the english people and can explain yours slight changes, please?? if you read the full post i make a question, how make to work with options (go to the product page for choose the options if have, if not add to the cart). Thanks.

Thanks Celestial. It works well.
I will make a db query to products_option and check if there are any options for that product_id. If there is then I serve the original OC code so the user is redirected to the product page through a "more info" button.

Is there any way to change your code so the user will stay on the category page instead of being redirected to the shopping cart every time he add a product??

it is not working with me
