Adding the quantity of an individual item to the quantity_max attribute - FoxyCa...

I would like to pass it as a hidden field. Is there a tag for pulling all the option quantities?

Hey,

Ok - so this is the "product" template - specifically the perch form:

                <perch:form id="foxy_cart" method="post" action="<perch:setting id="perch_shop_foxy_url" />">
                <h2 class="productTitle"><perch:shop id="productTitle" /></h2>  
                <span class="product-price-detail">$<perch:shop id="productPrice" /></span>


                <div class="size-guide-container">

                    <div class="product-sizes">
                        <perch:if exists="productOptions_html">
                            <perch:shop id="productOptions_html" encode="false" type="hidden" />
                        </perch:if>
                    </div>

                    <!-- Size Guide trigger modal -->
                    <div class="size-gide-link-container">
                        <a class="size-guide-link" href="img/size-guide.png" data-lightbox="image-1" data-title="Size Guide">Size Guide</a>
                    </div>

                </div>

                <div class="buttons"><perch:input type="submit" value="Add to Cart"/></div>

                <div class="product-description">
                    <perch:shop id="productDescHTML" type="textarea" textile="true" editor="markitup" size="m autowidth" encode="false" order="5" />
                </div>

                <perch:input type="hidden" name="name" value="<perch:shop id="productTitle" order="1" />" />
                <perch:input type="hidden" name="code" value="<perch:shop id="productCode" />" order="2" />
                <perch:input type="hidden" name="price" value="<perch:shop id="productPrice" />" order="3" />
                <perch:input type="hidden" name="weight" value="5.00" />


                <perch:if exists="productFoxyCategory">
                    <perch:input type="hidden" name="category" value="<perch:shop id="productFoxyCategory" />" />
                </perch:if>

                </perch:form> 

This piece of code brings up a series of size options

<perch:shop id="productOptions_html" encode="false" type="hidden" />

Essentially, I want to stop people from adding more to the cart than is actually in stock - so if a t-shirt in size 8 has a qty of 5, I want to pass through that number into a attribute called "quantity_max". This will restrict the user once they are in foxycart from increasing the QTY to more than the number passed.

The issue is, I need to get the QTY for ALL options, and then based on what they select, populate the field attribute quantity_max using JS I'm guessing?

Thank you for your help! (majorly lost here).

How do you "see" the qty field?

optionValue is the size (S,M,L etc)

Is there a tag I can use that will show me:

S - QTY 3 M - QTY 8 L - QTY 10

The only output is the Option Value - e.g. "S" or "M" or "L" - not the quantity associated with each option.

Is there an equivalent tag for "<perch:shop id="optionValue" />" to show the quantity associated with a option? Something like e.g. "<perch:shop id="optionCount" />"?

It looks like this guy was having the same issue - https://support.grabaperch.com/index.php?pg=forums.posts&id=6583&pc=2 (have a look towards the end of the conversation).

I'm a bit apprehensive about using his solution at the end before checking that there is no other (better) approach first...

Hi Rachel,

I had a look and the closest thing I could see was "<perch:shop id="productCountByOptions" />" which doesn't return a value that makes any sense.

I'm guessing then that there isn't a solution? I feel like I am missing something... is it possible to display to quantity of a option, not just the "name" of that option?
