Quantity Limits - Show Category Limits on PROD page

[habreu]

Hi,

Quantity Limits by Miva works well - but as noted elsewhere it doesn't give you the 'OOPS!' until you start to check out. I tested the category limits and works fine but I want to place the category limit note on PROD and not getting it.

<mvt:item name="quanlimits" param="QuantityLimit_Load_Category( l.settings:category:id, l.settings:category:cumulative_limits )" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:category:cumulative_limits:max_qu an GT 0">
<br><span style="background:#F4FF61; padding: 2px 4px !important; font-size: .62em; color: #333; font-weight: normal; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed'; display: inline-block; margin-top: 2px">Limit &mvte:category:cumulative_limits:max_quan; per customer<br>cumulative total of items in this category</span>
<mvt:elseif expr="l.settings:category:cumulative_limits:min_qu an GT 0">
<br><span style="padding: 2px 4px !important; background:#F4FF61;font-size: .62em; color: #333; font-weight: normal; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed'; display: inline-block; margin-top: 2px;">Minimum cumulative purchase of &mvte:category:cumulative_limits:min_quan; units required<br>of items in this category</span>
</mvt:if>

Typically the variable l.settings:category:id is not available on PROD unless you are explicitly passing it. How are you getting the category:id in this case to load the data from?

I am using some code on PROD to show the category name (found code that Bruce posted on the forum)

Could that product be assigned to multiple categories so that the wrong category id is being passed into the function?

[habreu]

Yes that is a possibility I hadn't considered.

Turns out that doesn't seem to be the problem and I got the code to work but I'm going to have to stick to product level quantity limits. I have a set up like this

Corner Guards All
- Child Category: 2" Corner Guards
--Product: 2" Corner Guard 1
--Product: 2" Corner Guard 2

- Child Category: 3" Corner Guards
--Product: 3" Corner Guard 1
--Product: 3" Corner Guard 2

etc

But the category quanity limits does not cascade to products that are in teh child categories - so if I can have all 2" corner guards require a minimum purchase of 4, but I can not have a mixed cart of 2" and 3" corner guards if I assign it to the Corner Guards All root.

It is still a useful module just would have to extend it and it isn't urgent.
