Adding the quantity part to the _ProductBox.cshtml in the views/Catalog in nopcommerce2.2

Question

In nopcommerce2.2,which uses mvc framework, how can I add the quantity part to the product in the multiple products i.e _ProductBox.cshtml? Actually when I go to the single product page,I will get the quantity part.But I cannot transfer the quantity part to the multiple products page.How can I do this?

Answer 1

I'm on 2.3 so this could be different from your version.

You would need to change a few things about _ProductBox.cshtml.

When you go to a single product page, it looks like it is using _ProductVariantAddToCart.cshtml as the view. This view has an input for the desired quantity

@if (!Model.DisableBuyButton || !Model.DisableWishlistButton)
{
    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.EnteredQuantity)<text>:</text> 
    @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.EnteredQuantity, new { style = "Width: 40px;" })
}

You can't simply add that field, though, because _ProductBox.cshtml is using JS to do a GET to the ShoppingCart controllers AddProductToCard action. On the other hand, _ProductVariantAddToCart.cshtml is POSTing back to the Catalog controller's AddToCartProduct action. There is some logic there to take in your quantity field plus a bunch of other stuff.

If I were you, I would just overload the AddProductToCart action on the ShoppingCartController to add a quantity parameter and use JS in the view to capture that and pass it along.

This has been tested with version 3.0. Hope it will give you the idea what you need to change to make it work with opcommerce2.2
