Checkbox instead of buy now button on all products page

[linuxguy2]

Hi,

I want to select multiple products (Check Box) on the "All Products" page and then add them to the cart all at once.
I have searched the web and the zc forums & plugins for hours but haven't been able to find any thing. Any pointers or suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated.
NOTE:
As far as I know using Attributes will not accomplish this function.

BTW
THANKS! to the zc community for the 6 add ins I am using.

In a stock Zencart installation, the All Products listing does have quantity boxes (except thos products with attributes), so we'll need to see your site.

Stevesh,
Thanks for your responce.
I cannot show you the site just yet as I need to protect my clients' interests before we go into production.
In my searches I have come across other zenners wanting a similar function.
I have been using zc for several years now and am familiar with all the combinations of product entry options and attributes.
None of these options provide a checkbox on the All Products page.

Simply put I want to be able to scroll down the All Products page checking off the items I want to order and then click a button that will add them all to the cart at once.

I know this is not a trivial task but with all the plugins out there I thought someone may have already done something like this.

I can deal with disabling/not displaying any other buy now buttons or quantity boxes on the page.

I guess my point was that it has already been done, unless I don't exactly understand the question. Here's my All Products page from a bone-stock test installation, using all the default admin options, and no plugins:

I am aware of that option(s)

I don't want the reps/customers to have to enter any values, Just check a box for each item on the All Products page they want to buy and then click a single "Add To Cart" button to add them all at once. They will be working from a tablet.
It would add whatever minimum amount I entered when adding the product to the catalog. (see graphic)

My problem is I'm not a coder. Usually I get a lead to a plugin that does what I want with some minor hacking :-) .......


Below is how I enter my products.

I don't know of any of these options coupled with attributes that would provide a checkbox on the All Products page.

Also not saying easy, but thinking (based on viewing the page source for stevesh's site) that wherever the html for input type="text" name="products_id[X]" value ="[minimum quantity]" etc... is put, that there is a checkbox definition instead with the same related information that when the add selected products to cart button is pressed, all of the checked items are reviewed such that if the checkbox of that named item is checked then add that item to the cart instead of verifying that the value assigned to the item is something other than zero... I haven't looked at the downstream code (action from pressing the button), but that seems to be what the OP is asking for. As far as the attribute side of things, well, seems like another story....

How to flag this to happen only for one thing and not another, is yet another story... (ie., recognizing that ZC code is reused in a number of places, and changing the code rather than adding to it, could have an effect down stream in the future...)
