Is this layout possible?

[ChrisDrumm]

I am wondering if this type of layout is possible - See the link below:

http://www.steveweissmusic.com/produ.../timpani-heads

It looks like their cart is OSC

What I want is a list of products with a quantity box next to each item. This would let the customer order 10 of item A, 2 of item C, etc...

Now, is this done with atributes or is it some sort of "group" of individual items?

From what I can tell this feature is not in ZenCart, but if there is a mod or hack - any information would be appreciated.

That's part of Zen as well. Take a look at either site in my sig and click on any category.

Check your setting in the admin under configuration->product listing->Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location.

That's not quite what I'm looking for -- That option is for the category listing - I'm looking for that option in and actual item listing. The options are attributes to a particular item - so a quantity box would be next to each attribute.

The other way I thought this could be done is that I would have a custom category layout to look like his layout - but I would not want this layout for every category - so, is it possible to have multiple category layouts?

Or, any other thoughts on how to do this?

The mod your reference site has is using the product listing layout file (what would be in Zen Cart /includes/modules/product_listing.php), or a version of it, to make the option listing.

It would require some custom coding to adapt that, and some database modification to add quantity values for attributes.

Not a job for the novice, but definitely would have wide use if someone were to develop it.

You mean as per above demo option?

[ChrisDrumm]

Not quite...

The above demo was a gift certificate - so this is how I would want it laid out:

Instead of having a $5, $10, $15... as individual products, you would click on a product called "Gift Certificate"

Under that product it would have a list of items (like the example I gave)
there would be a $5 gift certificate with a quantity box, then a $10 certificate with a quantity box...

This would not be items listed in a category, but almost as a group of priducts nested inside a product.

The example I gave looks like an osCommerce cart, but I'm not sure if the layout I am looking for is built in or a mod.

The more I poke around it looks like I'll have to hack something together -- Just wondering if anyone else has accomplished this.

It was definitely an osC mod, not in the base install.

I don't believe anything like it has been published for Zen Cart yet, so if you were to write or orchestrate the writing of it, that would be a very good thing. Kuroi's Stock by Attributes mod would be a starting point for the db part.

Very nice! Post 26 details the process for using this with a single list of attributes.

It doesn't give exactly the same layout as the example, but I'm sure it could be tweaked to suit.
