Minimum per Category Support Thread

[purelypoultry]

This mod will allow you to set a minimum quantity per category.

Download the module here http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1672

See it in action here http://www.purelypoultry.com/

It requires you to purchase eggs by the dozen like the grocer does. Ever seen a grocery store sell 11 eggs in a 12 egg carton? Well I sell eggs of different chicken breeds and require people to 12 eggs but they can get 12 different products.

This module is very simple to use.
To Install just Patch database with SQL patches. Then Upload 3 files.
To Configure: Go to Admin > Configuration > Minimum Quantity Per Category to Set the minimum quantity that needs to be ordered in order to checkout on a per category basis. For example: 1:10,2:15,3:10, would mean categories_id 1 requires a minimum order of 10 products to checkout.

This allows a customer to place products in their cart but does not allow them to complete checkout unless they order the required qty and tells the shopper what they need in their cart to checkout.

I am testing the plugin (1.1.0 - zencart 1.3.9.h)
It seems do not work: it is possible to checkout even under the limit.
You can see db record in configuration table at this url:

(I suspect that some blank field could be wrong)
Some idea ? Thanks

I believe that you need to have a comma at the end of the configuration value. "3:3,"

I tried with "3:3," but without any imrovement.
