Drop-Down Menu for Add to Cart / Product Quantity?

Zen Cart 1.3.9

I've got certain products that are only offered in increments of 4 (for example 4, 8, 12, etc). I'd like to have a drop-down menu for the "Add to Cart" feature (which by default has a text field to manually type the quantity).

Can this be done? I've done some searching in forums and read the section of the official User Manual on attributes but I'm starting to get confused...if anyone could point me to a tutorial or possibly get me started I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks.

You could just use the built in Product Unit and set it to 4 ... this forces the quantity to be in units of 4 ...

This is set on a per Product basis ...

Thanks for the quick reply Ajeh...I've actually been able to figure that part out...what i'm trying to do now is add a drop-down menu for the Product Quantity in the "Add to Cart" feature..perhaps if i showed a link to my site that would help. This is a test product I'm using - currently it allows the customer to manually type in the quantity they would like to purchase, but I'd like to make it a drop-down menu instead, that way they can only select the proper quantities: http://www.antioxidantcure.com/xocai/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=2

Thanks again,

Also, you will notice in the link above that i'm offering discounts on the unit price based on the quantity purchased...currently this is done through Zen Cart's built-in Catalog>Product Price Manager - but i'm considering installing the Quantity Discounts add-on...

Not sure if this info is relevant to my issue, but figured I'd let it be known...

I don't have a simple solution for you on this ...

Perhaps someone else has attempted this and would like to jump in ... :smile:

Thanks Ajeh

Did you ever happen to find the answer to this? I would be interested in a tutorial or example code as well! Thanks in advance.:smile:

nope no answer :(

Shucks! I'm kind of surprised no one has come up with a simple solution for this yet! :cry:
