This contribution will let you add a product quantity box on the product info page, so any costumer will not need to go to shopping cart to change

the quantity. It is a simplified version of the contribution:

The original was a dropdown box, but that is not practical for people who may order a quantity of say 500 - 5000.
This basically changes the dropdown to a text box and strips out the extra code that deals with inventory stock.
This may already exist(I thought that someone had to have already come up with this) but I looked high and low
and could not find a working version of this simple solution ...

Here is the one on the website, but for some reason I could not get it to work:

Anyway, necessity is the mother of invention so hope this helps someone.
