Listing an item as sold out
Is there a way to show items after they have been sold out? The site I work on contains lots of antiques and I was requested to make it so that even if an item has been sold out (there's just one piece each) that it should still be displayed with a "sold" message. One of the reasons for this is that we can reproduce a ############## of that item if a customer really wants an item like that. (At a lower price that the antique original of course)
There probably a simple way to do this but I cannot seem to find it. :(

Hmm, I'll check it out. Thanks for that.
....although, is that the only way to do it?
Re: Listing an item as sold out
You could change these settings in your admin -> configuration -> stock:
Allow Checkout
Mark product out of stock
Products status in Catalog when out of stock should be set to
Show Sold Out Image in place of Add to Cart
to achieve what you what. For example, after an item is sold out, it is still enabled in your catalog but people can't check out. Then you can edit the Sold Out Image and make it say "############## available" or something... just an idea :)

I was just asking a question about where to store my sold out image. I want to have an image different from the one zen uses, but Ican't find it to replace it. Any tips on where it is located?

/includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english
but advisable to use template override system i.e.
/includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/buttons/english
There are two sold out buttons...one large..one small...
both are found in folder I have quoted above

Thanks. I have those buttons, but there is another little red patch by the price of the item. I set the stock settings to show a sold image in place of quantity. This is the little image I can't find and want to replace. I'l attach a screen shot showing the thing I'm looking for. I couldn't find in the special button set I'm using or in the default button set. I have searched through every image folder I can find in all the areas.
Re: Listing an item as sold out
I just found it. It was in the default button set after all, but I missed it somehow.
Thanks.
Re: Listing an item as sold out
If you mean small red sold out image...
in folder i mentioned previously..
button_sold_out_sm.gif
without having actual url of your site/item in question,
difficult to advise further...
