How to set "No, Do not show Quantity Box" to Default?

[toussi]

1. How do I set No, Do not show Quantity Box as the default? Where in the code can I make it do that, because I end up click it every time I enter a product and its getting really annoying.


2. How default the "Products Quantity:" to 1 or any number, so I do not have to enter "999" into it every time... THANKS!

Building upon this question, the Zen Cart Tutorials say "Maximum - the Maximum number that you can buy for the product (Default = 0-Unlimited)" but how do we change that default to be 1 so we don't have to change it all the time.

The end goal is so that customers can only put 1 of each product in their cart since only 1 of each product exists.

hmm, any advice out there?

If you have a lot of products you might want to use a tool like Easy Populate to enter your data instead of using the admin interface (which can be a little clunky.) You can find EP in the Free Software Add Ons, and there is a current thread of advice here.

Thank you for your reply, but this should just be a quick modification to the code (changing a 0 to a 1 somewhere), an add-on shouldn't be necessary. But I need someone to direct me to the correct code to modify.

Have you used phpMyAdmin (or similar) to look at the database? I would assume that's where the 0s and 1s are.

Sure you can modify the previous entries from the database, but what I am talking about is the code that makes the field for "Product Qty Maximum" prepopulated with a 0. Instead of it being prepopulated with 0, I want it to be a 1.


(on that note, I wouldn't mind having "Products Quantity" prepopulated with a 1 instead of blank.

I was really hoping one of the big wigs could help me figure this out.. but I don't think many people venture into this forum topic as often as others.

Sorry not a wig...

File = /admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php

'products_quantity_order_max' => '0',

You can edit this setting using the Product Quantity Box Status - Adding New Products switch under Configuration > Product Info.

Personally, I think this should be with the other similar switches under Catalog > Product Types... maybe it'll be moved during the admin re-write!
