are you setting the "maximum purchase quantity"




are you using layout overrides?

i have set the max purchase to 5 and the min to 1 but still no good

what about using stock? have you tried that?

[media101]

yes, anywhere that shows a number with the name product/stock/limit/max/min or anything else iv put to 5 and tried that but the counter still goes past 5. is there a plug-in or some random place or section that might control the counter? or even if i could change the look of the counter maybe i could stumble around until i get it to work? ... any ideas would be great

do you have a "custom" virtuemart template?

[media101]

dont think so i think its the standard one cause its just called VirtueMart

[PRO]

what version vmart are you using?

im using VM2, what i did to 'fix it' is go into the child products and set the stock to 5, and then if the customer buys say 6 of them, a pop up message will appear sayin the max stock is 5 do you wish to proceed? so i suppose this will be fine. thanks for all your help
