How to limit the total number of items in shopping cart?

[Dan]

Hi,

I’m offering 30+ free downloadable items and I don’t want users to download more than 3 (any combination) in a single order.

Can this be done?

Thanks

Just found this related post. Is this what I need to do but edit it to 3 instead of 1?

Actually yes, it did work.

But it’s not bringing up the correct error text “Shopping quantity limit exceeded! You cannot exceed the quantity limit of ” stated in wp-cart-for-digital-products/languages/eng.php

Instead, it brings up “ESTORE_CART_QTY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED3” on the frontend which is strange:

Please help.

I’ve noticed that the global variable which is meant to represent the message for quantity limit appears to be incorrect, ie,

The correct string should be:

“ESTORE_CART_QTY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED”

But you have a “3” added on the end, ie,

“ESTORE_CART_QTY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED3“

It appears that you have made a typo when you were modifying the code and I would suggest that you check your changes once again.

Hi, please do the following:

1. install a fresh copy WP eStore plugin:

2. open the eStore_advanced_configs.php file and search for the following line of code:

define('WP_ESTORE_CART_CHECKOUT_ITEM_LIMIT', 0);

Once you find it, change it to the following:

define('WP_ESTORE_CART_CHECKOUT_ITEM_LIMIT', 1);

Make this simple change and see how it goes.

Thanks for the replies.

I was very careful only to edit this line on the file and all I did was to change the 0 into a 3:

define(‘WP_ESTORE_CART_CHECKOUT_ITEM_LIMIT’, 3);//0 disables any limit (specifying a number here will enable a shopping cart item limit)

By the way, I also tested changing that to 1 but I get the same error:

ESTORE_CART_QTY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED1

Any other thoughts? Thanks

[Dan]

I figured it out. There was no spacing between the code and the notes on the text. Worth a quick look from your end. Thanks for the help anyways!

Please ignore my previous post.

The same issue is still happening but I noticed that it’s a bit erratic. I’m doing a few tests and will post the results soon.

[Dan]

Ok.

The same issue continues (even if I just enter a number 1 instead of 3)

But

I now tested adding ” before and after the number and it does not show the incorrect error message anymore. It shows no error message at all but at least it works.

Here’s how it is now:

define(‘WP_ESTORE_CART_CHECKOUT_ITEM_LIMIT’, ‘3’);

Any ideas on how I can get the correct error message to appear?

Thanks

[Dan]

I’ve tested again and now the error message is back.

Can one of you guys please login and see what’s happening? If so where can I send the login details to?

Many thanks

[Dan]

Glad to report that I finally solved the problem.

This line of code in languages.php was incorrect:

define(“ESTORE_QTY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED”, “Shopping quantity limit exceeded! You cannot exceed the quantity limit of “);

It was missing the word CART:

ESTORE_CART_QTY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED

Now that I have fixed this it works like a charm.

Thanks for the help
