Limit Product Quantity

no_quantity_input_sc.zip

If you install this and uninstall the core content -> shopping cart -> product listing module, you got some of it.
It does not check if there are multiple, but it hides the quantity along with the input for it, when the price is zero. Quick and easy, but should give an idea of how to make it perfect (or at least perfect enough).

How do I install this? I don't quite get this bit "If you install this and uninstall the core content -> shopping cart -> product listing module". I'm looking in Content Modules but don't this add-on either in the available modules.

You need to transfer the files in the .zip to corresponding directories on your install - this can be done several ways, a couple of which are described in the user guide. When the files are in place, you can navigate to the content-modules in admin, and install the new one, and remove (or uninstall) the core one.

Software like FileZilla is recommended, but you can upload files by logging in at your host, or by making a ftp-connection through Microsoft Explorer as well.

Thanks, I've got it working. The files were there but for some reason the "_QUANTITY_" tag used in language file did not match my current installation. I guess it's a version thing. I just overwrote existing files with content from supplied files (keeping existing file names) and modified the language file, and it works fine now.

*** Also, no need to check if product already in cart. It's not added even when you try a second time since it's already in cart. Thanks very much for sorting this out for me.

Glad you got it working!

I made it as a new module to keep core safe, and to allow for other modifications in the future. If you are happy with it as is, and on Phoenix 1.0.7.14+ (I think, it might be a later version that's needed) you should make the change in templates/override/includes/modules/content/shopping_cart

Override could also be any other name, depends in your template selection.
This would make it safe to update Phoenix, without the risk of loosing your modifications.

I actually thought it would increase the quantity ordered, when adding to cart from product listing or product info - you might want to test that fully by looking at checkout_confirmation, order history, the invoice and in admin/orders just to make sure

I'll do a bit more testing as you suggested. Thanks

You were right about testing if product is added elsewhere. It is added... This happens only if the product attribute i.e color or size is different from one added to cart previously. Please can you update code to check if that product is in cart already not to add it again? Many thanks

Only guessing now, but I think that the best solution would be to override the shopping_cart class, which could also make my previous change redundant. Else hooks would be needed to check and alter the quantity during the checkout-process as well as in the cart.
You are better off contacting one of the certified developers for this, as whatever I could do (asuming I would succeed) would be too messy. They might also have a much better idea in general.

Sorry I can't get you all the way on this one - I'm not a developer, but just someone stubborn enough to try the same thing enough time to sometimes get it to work

Thanks a lot, you got me on my way at least. Much appreciated!

Another thought... I'd try and use Discount Code for a single use on a single product. Then highlight in the description to use the discount code for one free item per customer. Keeps the shipping cost (which I think you wanted) but allows 100% discount on a specified product, one time per customer. Or that's at least how the osC version worked. I haven't installed discount codes for Phoenix yet.
