How to bug fix ‘Shopping Cart Quantity Update’ in Arabic Store View – Magento

In this blog I would like to share a useful solution which I found out for a problem which I experienced in a Magento powered store.

Problem: I worked on an Ecommerce store which had both English and Arabic store view. In the Arabic store view, after changing the quantity number from 1 to 2 and clicking the ‘Update Shopping Cart’ button, the reloaded page did not show the updated figure in the ‘Quantity’ area and I did not receive an error message too. While testing for the same scenario in English store view, it worked perfectly. Upon searching for a route to fix this technical issue, I came across this solution which I have shared through this blog. I’d like all developers to have a look at it and get benefitted.

The following path has to be followed and the necessary changes have to be made in order to solve the above mentioned issue.

/*	 if (isset($params['qty'])) {
                	$filter = new Zend_Filter_LocalizedToNormalized(
                    	array('locale' => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode()));
                $params['qty'] = $filter->filter($params['qty']);
            }
	*/
    }
public function updateItemOptionsAction()
    { 	
//  Remove this Code (line 317)
	/*	  if (isset($params['qty'])) {
               $filter = new Zend_Filter_LocalizedToNormalized(
              array('locale' => Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode()));
                $params['qty'] = $filter->filter($params['qty']);
         }*/
	}
protected function _updateShoppingCart()
    {
//  Remove this Code (line 413)
 /*	 if (isset($data['qty'])) { 
                        $cartData[$index]['qty'] = $filter->filter(trim($data['qty']));
                    }
*/
	}			
}
?>
