Product Mix-and-Match for minimum quantity?

Hey Guys!

I am having a problem putting together a wholesale page. I have looked through the forums and tutorials to see if there is anything on this, but I was not able to have any success in finding info on it. This is what I am trying to do. I am trying to give the customer multiple options in purchasing a T-shirt with a min purchase of 12.
i.e.
page:

image of product

Size:                S              M         L     XL   ...
Color:  Black    text box   textbox   ...
           White    text box   textbox   ...
           Grey     text box   textbox   ...

Total Quantity: 14
Add to Cart

The customer must order 12 min, but it does not matter what size or color. They can order 4 black, 6 white, 4 grey shirts.

The text boxes can only hold numbers, to determine the amount of size and color.

Is there a module for this? Or am I able to do it with the features that Zen Cart provides us with?

I thought I might be able to link product attributes, to the text box, i.e. small value and black value are linked to one text box, but then I would have to link white value with another small value to another text box.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Misty,

Thanks for the input. I read the read me file but I did not have the chance to test it. It seems like it just focuses on minimum quantity for each product, which is fine. But, what I am trying to do is to be able allow a customer to order a min of 12 shirts, "but" have the option to select any sizes and colors. i.e. The customer can order 4 XL black shirts, 2 Small Grey shirts, 4 Med Grey Shirts, 2 2XL White Shirts, and 2 L white shirts on the same page. The store will check to see if the total is greater than 12 and then give the ok to purchase that product or at least at to the cart.
I am not sure if this module does this for each product. I could be wrong. What do you think?>

This mod is for minimum total, you require minimum quantity.
There may be other mods that do what you require or you can read wikki for info or request custom mod in commercial
forum.

Misty,

Thanks a lot for pointing me to the right direction. I added the module and it works. :D

My question now is how do I set a min quantity for that product with the product matrix grid. Product min quantity only restricts the enduser in purchasing 12 of a tshirt design regardless of color or size. I want to provide the enduser to customize its order. He or she can make an order of 6 small white shirts, 1 XL white shirts, 3 Large grey shits, and 2 2XL blue shirts. This will allow he or she to purchase that design bc it was a min of 12. Anything under that will shot the regular error saying you need to purchase 12 shirt. Right now, it give me the end user options in purchasing but the restriction is on every option they select. In the example above, the endu user would have to order 12 small white, XL, L, 2XL, etc.

Any advie?

Thanks again!

I have looked and looked throuhout the forums. There was only one that some what similar but did not show any code or information about what they did.

My site problems:

1. Having the product matrix grid make sure my product attributes have a min. of 12. out of 35 attributes created for one of my shirts. [Size, Color]
2. When I try to purchase a t-shirt, in the shopping cart, it does not show any of the prices except for the total, and also the sidebox prices does not match up.
   So far, I have already installed: product matrix grid & min. order mod.

link to the site: http://26doors.com/webcart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=2

Can anyone provide me the solution to these two problems?

Thanks!

My site problems:

2. When I try to purchase a t-shirt, in the shopping cart, it does not show any of the prices except for the total, and also the sidebox prices does not match up.

For question 1:
I have been running more tests. When I type 1 into the qty box for white tshirt with size S, and 11 for a grey shirt with a size: XL,

The error I receive is the following:

Please update your order. The item: La West Costa Bear Logo, has a minimum quantity restriction.
You ordered a total of: 11 Min: 12 *Mixed Option Values is ON

Note: This is the same product with multiple attributes on the product matrix grid.

My grid does not add the two qty. 1 and 11, which is the min. requirement. Sometimes, when I type: 1, 11, 11, I will only get an error for the 11 saying I need to order 12. The total at the bottom is correct. On the top of the box it shows the correct total. What is up here. Can I just use the variable for total to see if it is above the min. requirement or is there something that I am missing?

Question 2 I had, I pretty much figured that out. The side box of shopping cart shows what I tried to ordered. I am not sure if it should show me the dollar amount of each shirt or just the qty amount of each shirt.

Any advice?
