Is it possible to force Quantity Box on Product Listing with Attributes

I have an optional check box attribute on my products, and thus it's not necessary to actually visit the product page to add the product to the cart. Is there an override to force the products to display the quantity box instead of the '...more info' link?

Then customer will not/can not select from the options???

That doesn't really help me. I was asking how it can be done, not whether.

In other words, the attribute is optional, as I stated in my original post. I don't care if they select it or not.

NO this is not an option......

and if you dont care if its checked why bother having it there........

also just to let you know being rude normally will not get you any help around here......

I apologize if you thought I was being rude. I thought Kobra's reply was unnecessary because it didn't address my question and I said so. I didn't call him names or anything.

What I want to do with my cart is my business. I was merely asking if it was possible to do what I wanted and if so, how. I don't need to be questioned on my motivation for wanting to do it. If a reply doesn't answer the question asked there's no need for a reply, imho.

I know it's not possible to do it through the configuration. But I have a feeling it's possible by overriding some code (which I also said in my original post). I'd like to know if anyone knows where that code could be. That would answer my question and be very helpful to me.

Thanks in advance.

your right it is your business,

I was just curious,

It just didnt make any sense to me to have an attribute there that you dont require for the order...

best of luk

Your original Post Question

lancemonotone:

Is there an override to force the products to display the quantity box instead of the '...more info' link?
I read this as an admin setting - which there is none and for the reason I stated - - maybe I should have elaborated:
In the product listing any item with attributes automatically gets the "more" displayed so that the customer will be able to select from the options
So if you want a different display for this single item you will require a bit of crafty 'if" code to check for this product.
For a global change you need to look at and follow the product listing code and make the necessary changes

I maybe should have just asked where the code that controls the Quantity Box display on the Product List page is.

Our posts overlapped but that's what I was just thinking, Kobra. Do you happen to know which file controls the product listing?

Yes! Thank you...that is great: includes/modules/product_listing.php. The developer tool kit is a pretty handy thing to have. Thanks for pointing me to it.

For anybody crazy enough to want to display the Quantity Box for products with attributes on the Product Listing page:

1. Create an array in your main language file called $SHOW_QTY_BOX_CATEGORIES and populate it with the category ids for which you want to display a Quantity Box. Example: ```php
   $SHOW_QTY_BOX_CATEGORIES = array(1,7);

2. Go to (or copy/create) includes/modules/[TEMPLATE]/product_listing.php
3. Search for this line: ```php
if (zen_has_product_attributes($listing->fields['products_id']) or PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE_BUY_NOW == '0') {

4. Change it to this: ```php
   if ((zen_has_product_attributes($listing->fields['products_id']) and (isset($SHOW_QTY_BOX_CATEGORIES) and !in_array(zen_get_products_category_id($listing->fields['products_id']), $SHOW_QTY_BOX_CATEGORIES))) or PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE_BUY_NOW == '0' ) {

Thank you for posting your solution lancemonotone, it's exactly what I was looking for and I didn't have to read through a dozen threads trying to find it
