Minimum Quantity script

To implement this script go to Design -> Product Detail Design. Then paste in the following code on the bottom of the html tab:

<script>

// the four values below are all in in milliseconds

// 1000 milliseconds = 1 second

// Time for the add to cart button to appear again

var add_to_cart_hidden = 1500

// Speed of the fade in of the message

var message_fadein = 500

// Delay for the message to start dissapearing

var message_fadeout_start = 500

// Speed of the fade ot of the message

var message_fadeout = 1000

var target_button = '#btn_AddToBasket';

var target_text = 'input#txt_Quantity';

var limit

minimum_quantity = function(limit) {

if(limit != null) {

$(target_button).hover(

function() {

value = parseInt($(target_text).val());

if ( value < limit ) {

$(target_button).hide();

$('#error_message').fadeIn(message_fadein);

$(target_text).val(limit);

setTimeout( function(){

$(target_button).show();

}, add_to_cart_hidden);

} else {

return false;

}

},

function() {

setTimeout( function(){

$('#error_message').fadeOut(message_fadeout);

}, message_fadeout_start);

});

} else {

return false;

}

$(document).ready( function() {

limit = $('input#minimum_quantity').attr('value');

// You can chage the default error message here

var message = 'Minimum quantity for this item is '+limit+'.</br>The value has been reset';

$(target_button).parent().parent().append('<div id="error_message" style="display: none;">'+message+'</div>');

$(target_text).val(limit);

});

$(function() {

minimum_quantity(limit);

});

</script>

Then go to the CSS tab on paste the following on the bottom:

div#error_message {

position:absolute;

top:40%;

left:40%;

z-index:10000000;

background-color:white;

color:black;

padding:20px 10px;

border:1px solid black;

text-align:center;

}

The final step is placing a marker on your product description, alternatively if you plan on implementing a store wide minimum quantity limit, simply paste it on the html tab in Product detail design. Here is the marker:

<input id="minimum_quantity" type="hidden" value="9999" />

The value attribute controls the limit you want to impose. That means if you would like the minimum quantity on a product to be 10, change the 9999 in this example to 10.
