Minimum Order Setting

[texpro]

I have been using Zen cart for a few years now and for the most part have found it to work well for my needs. I have regularly contributed to the forum and sent donations to help the cause. I am not an expert with PHP or scripting, however, I do find it strange that no one has been able to provide a built in solution for the setting of minimum order requirements in the software (without adding a separate module or contribution).
Maybe I am naive but to me it seems that it shouldn't be to difficult to have an area in the admin panel that would allow you to simply enter the amount you want your stores min. order set at... can this be done on future versions?

The people who have asked me to implement this have always had a complex algorithm for determining what constitutes a "minimum order." I guess the indirect way of doing this using the stock cart would be table based shipping with a big drop in price over a certain order value, or perhaps using the low order fee module.

The low order fee to me isn't an option because it invokes a negative for customer visiting or ordering on your site. It is a kin to punishing a customer for wanting to place an order. (not good customer relations) I simple solution would be code that that adds up the total amount of the order before check out and then matches against the administrators input setting (min. order value) and if the order value is less the system will remind you what the min. purchase value is.

This can't be that difficult to activate. Give it an on and off switch.

My question is as follows: Can the "Minimum Order" module (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=599) be modified to require a product amount instead of a dollar amount. I need to come up with something that requires the buyers to purchase in 12 item increments.

The version I am using is as follows:

Zen Cart 1.3.9h
Database Patch Level: 1.3.9h
v1.3.9h [2011-08-12 00:52:28] (Fresh Installation)
