How do i add a quantity box to the Categorylistpage

[Jaz]

I am totally stumped on this one. I have set up my page to allow customers to add a quantity amount directly in the quantity list page, but I can't figure out how to add the quantity box. Any suggestions would be greatly appraised.

The page can be seen at:

Thanks,

You need to add another column in the ItemTemplate section of the repeater in the page as below

Code: Select all

<td><asp:TextBox ID="Quantity" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>

Thanks. That got the box in there, but what do I need to do to actually get the box read? I am assuming I need to add some code to the corresponding .cs file for it to reference. Or maybe I am just guessing. It just ignores the quantity values and adds one item to the cart.

Instead of using the AddToCart link control place some asp button in the list and then add product against it. Have a look at the following attached CategoryList page hopefully it will help you.

Thanks, that worked perfect. Now, just to be picky, is there a way to make the quantity box narrower. Right now the box is wide enough to order one hundred, million, trillion pieces. While I am optimistic, it may be over kill.

In fact a more suitable quantity box instead of the current text box is the AbleCommerce updown control. You may have seen this control on many pages for example in the Basket. Here is the update control. I adjusted the Min and Max quantity to 1 and 100 you can change this to meet your needs.
