I'm selling a product using a dropdown for quantity.
I'd like each dropdown price shown to be the actual price, not add or subtract from the current price shown.
Also, when I add multiple bottles to the buy, it only shows as a quantity of 1 in the cart. The price is right it, but it does not show a bottle count greater than 1.

Thanks,

Hi Max,
It's not a great idea to use drop down options as a quantity choice because of the exact problem you're having with the quantity in the cart, and it's really not for quantities but for options such as colours or sizes for example.
Why not just set this line in your vsadmin/includes.asp showquantonproduct=FALSE to TRUE so there's a quantity box displayed on the product pages.

Info here - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/ecommplus/parameters.asp#quantity
You can also add clickable buttons to Quantity boxes

To use clickable graphics to raise / lower the quantity of a product to add to cart add this parameter to the vsadmin/includes.asp file...

quantityupdown=TRUE

Ok, not a fan of that, but I did notice that the quantity of 3 bottles was there, but the text had shifted out of the cart into the margins to the right. How do I fix that?

Hi,
I'm not too sure what you mean there, can you enable the quantity box again please so I can take a look?

Hi Phil,

I'm going to use the drop down currently shown.
Put 3 in your cart and you'll see the Quantity 3 Bottles and price over the top of categories that shifted right instead of staying in the cart box.

Hi,
Looking at your css you have the line <link href="css/ectcart.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> in the editable region on the cart.asp page

You need to add that line above the line
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Then add the following to the style.css

div.cartoptionsline div{
font-size:0.85em;
display:inline-block;
white-space:normal;
float:left;
}

The reason I'm asking you to move it is because the file ectcart.css is part of the updater, so any changes need to be made to the style.css file so they don't get overwritten, and that needs to come after the call for the ectcart.css so your edit will override the ectcart.css code.

The call for the ectcart.css also needs to be on all your pages, I'm not seeing it on the products.asp page

Hi Max, I personally think you might want to reconsider that as well.
What will you do when a customer complains after changing the count (quantity) in the cart and they do not get the quantity they expect?
Avoiding customer confusion is critical in my opinion.
