Hi,

Have done lots of searching around the forums and Helpnotes but cannot find an answer that relates to the exact problem.

I''m using version 7.02.3.

We have a shop where we keep lots of certain products in stock, and I would like to change it so that instead of saying ''546 in stock'' in would just say ''more than 10'' for example.

Does anybody know if there is a way to do this please? As i say I have found solutions for different versions, but I can''t seem to get them to work.

Thanks to anyone who can help and hopefully want I am asking makes sense!

James

Hi James,

This would require a new function to be written to check the stock items in the system and to display the relevant message depending on how many you have.

Will have a quick look to see if simple enough to post something here.

Thanks

Here''s what I did for our site. It shows 20+ in stock if stock is more than 20. You can change the 20+ text to "more than 10 for your site. If the stock level is more than zero but less than or equal to 20 it shows the actual value.

Open and save a copy of shopfileio.asp

Find the line -
case "FORMATIMAGE"

Create a space above this line so that you can paste in the following custom code:

''******Dec 2008 - Carrol Finlay - CUSTOM formatting of current stock display
case "FORMATSTOCK"

if value > 20 then
value = "20+"
else
if value >0 and value <= 20 then
value = value
else
if value <0 then
value = "0"
else
value = "0"
end if
end if
end if

if getconfig("xdisplayprices") <> "No" then
if (getconfig("xpriceloggedinonly") = "Yes") AND (getsess("Login") = "") then
value=""
else
value = value
end if
end if
''********** End of custom code

Please note that the forum displays a '' instead of a single apostrophe at the start of a line that you need to comment out in your code
Save the file, upload and test.

Still works fine in our version 7

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Carrol

Sorry Diego,

I should have added that you need to place the call to the Case formatstock statement in your product display templates.

Where your template says cstock you need to replace it with [formatstock cstock]

(the same logic as [formatcustomerprice cprice] etc.)

Regards,

Carrol
