Hi, I'm new to shopify.

I hope someone can give me some pointers about my problem:

In my client's store you have to buy a minimum of 6 products to place an order. This code hides the checkout-button until 6 products are in the cart:

{% if cart.item_count < 6 %}

You have to buy at least 6 bottles.

{% else %}
 <input type="submit" value="Proceed to checkout" name="checkout" />

{% endif %}

BUT: I want an exception to be made for a particular collection of products (which are in themselves smaller sets of products). So I'm trying something like this, but I can't get it working:

{% if item.title == 'product title 1' or 'product title 2' or 'product title 3' %}
go to checkcout

{% elsif cart.item_count < 6 %}
buy more

{% else %}
 go to checkout

{% endif %}

Any ideas? :)

Please, anyone? I got this far:

{% for item in cart.items %}
{% if cart.item_count > 5 %} 
{% elsif item.title contains "operative word" %}
    Go to checkout
{% else %}
    You need to purchase at least 6 products
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

But this, of course - beeing a loop - outputs the "checkout"-button and/or message multiple times...

You will have to experiment around with this a bit.... what I would do here, since you are hiding the "proceed to checkout" and you are going to have to use a loop, is put the loop inside the submit button. Use it to effect a class change on the submit button. Then you have something you can work with either through css or javascript.

So to use your example:

<input type="submit" id="{% for item in cart.items %}{% if cart.item_count > 5 %}{% elsif item.title contains "operative word" %} go-to-checkout{% else %}purchase-more{% endif %}{% endfor %}" value="Proceed to checkout" name="checkout" class="button" />

Hope that gives you some ideas!
