Limit number of products that one can add

Hello,
I have been trying to think on a particular thought, if i could restrict my clients to some particular number of products that they could add. Once they are reaching the same, maybe a notification or a bar showing the number or products added.
Is this possible.

Any reason for doing this? I don't really see an advantage to restricting the number of products.

Ah, got it. It would probably be easiest to just hide the "Insert" button when there are a certain number of products. You should be able to do it with something like this:
Code: Select all
IN:
/admin/view/template/catalog/product_list.tpl
REPLACE:
<a onclick="location = '<?php echo $insert; ?>'" class="button"><?php echo $button_insert; ?></a>
WITH:
<?php $this->load->model('catalog/product'); if ($this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts() <= 20) { ?>
<a onclick="location = '<?php echo $insert; ?>'" class="button"><?php echo $button_insert; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
Replace "20" with whatever number you need.

Hello,
Yes this would be a easy way on this. A more practical approach it is. Thanks for this. However as a customer when I think, suppose if we were to forget that this setting is done. Then it could be mistaken for an error. I suggest a small thing as well to add up. A count of products added beside the insert button. Hence when I see 20 of 20 shown then, then any layman would understand the limit is set.
Any idea on what code we need to set in to show the counter of added products to the number of allowed products. What's your opinion.
Do let me know if this can be done.

Just take the value returned by $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts(), and subtract it from the value you want, then display it next to the button.

Unfortunately I'm already overbooked with work, so I don't have time for any new projects. I recommend you post a request in the Commercial Support forum, where you might find some takers for projects.
Best of luck

I was looking for the same thing. Based on the comments in this thread I made an vqmod extension:
