Quantity box question

[flightoffancy]

I have all of my products set up to not show the quantity box in the listing but I would like for my customers to be able to update the quantities in the shopping cart.

I've attached a screenshot just in case I'm not clear on what I'm asking. Where it shows Qty and then the 1, I would like for it to have the little box where they could change the quantity and then update the cart.

Is this possible without having to turn on the quantity box in the listings?

There are several ways to control the quantity box ...

If you mark the Product as Hide Quantity box that is everywhere ...

If you want the quantity box in certain places not to show that can be done separately ...

How are you doing it now?

[flightoffancy]

The only place I've found (messed with) that controls the quantity box is on the page to create/edit a product.

A screenshot is attached showing the settings I have in that section.

That will change the setting everywhere for the product ...

If you want it only gone in some places, that setting needs to be turned OFF as in use:
Products Quantity Box Shows: Yes, Show Quantity Box

Then to turn off on the Product Listing ... you can change this in the Configuration ... Product Listing ...

Display Product Add to Cart Button (0=off; 1=on; 2=on with Qty Box per Product)
Do you want to display the Add to Cart Button?

NOTE: Turn OFF Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status to use Option 2 on with Qty Box per Product

That means also set this one to 0:

Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location
Do you want to display Add Multiple Products Qty Box and Set Button Location?
0= off
1= Top
2= Bottom
3= Both

Note: the other 3 listings for New Listing, Featured Listing and All Listing have their own setting for:

Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location
Do you want to display Add Multiple Products Qty Box and Set Button Location?
0= off
1= Top
2= Bottom
3= Both

Following those instructions STILL leaves the qty uneditable in the shopping cart view. I think she wants to not have the box show anywhere BUT the shopping cart, so that if a customer wants to increase qty they can just change the number in the cart rather than purchase several singles.

I tried those directions and any number of combinations, but it's either off everywhere or on everywhere. Maybe I'm not doing something right...
