If you are not on a collection page, do define which collection to use in the order form.
Use the following assign statement, replace 'your-collection-handle-here' with your collection handle.
{% assign collection = collections.your-collection-handle-here %}
Use the assign statement outside of this comment block at the top of your template.

Added some jQuery to prevent zeroing out of variant quantities that are already in cart & change button text from "Add..." to "Update..." when that's the case.

Hi Dave, or anyone else. Is there a way to not add items with zero quantity to the cart? I am having an issue with a list of 1000 products, and only selected a few items to add to an order. Shopify alerts that the cart is limited to 500 items.

Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated!

Hi @davelowensohn,

Thank you but it doesn't seem to be working on Dawn 6.0.2.
(I tested it on previous Minimal theme and it did work.)
Any chance of a 2.0 theme update? 🙏
I feel so bad about what my customers were going through with items disappearing - and I don't want to go back to my old theme;)

Cheers

Hi @davelowensohn,
Checking in to say that I am still looking for a solution for the form overwriting and removing items previously added to the cart. I'm using Dawn 2.0.
Thanks!

Hi @davelowensohn,

Apologies @lcools – I haven't touched this in years & have turned into one of those "no longer maintaining this" guys! Please do share if you get it figured out, since this seems to come up enough in Google. 🙏
