Stock For Product With Different Attributes (OLD)

grayson - you are a mind reader! I would like to adapt your code such that instead of displaying number of pieces in stock, I'd like to do the following:

1. check if an attribute variant is in stock
2. if it is, then display an image or words stating something like "24hr dispatch" next to the attribute variant
3. if attribute is out of stock, then display something like "2-3 days dispatch" next to the attribute variant

Since my suppliers can get most items to me within two days, I don't want to lose a sale if the customer doesn't mind waiting a few days more. It also gets around the "tell the customer they're out of stock before adding to cart" debate......

This is particularly important for me as I cannot stock all variants of a product but can order and dispatch them quickly should a customer want them.

So, in summary, is it possible to create some code that checks the attribute stock level and displays the appropriate message? To help clarify, here is an example I am trying to replicate.

Final point is that I only expect to have one attribute array (eg size OR colour, not both).

Looking forward to your help ::tup

Another more general point....

Is it possible to maintain attribute stocks using Easy Populate?

Cheers!

Ringy, that's a fairly simple change. First add in the changes I suggsted above. Then modify further as follows.

In main_template_vars_attributes.php, replace the line:

Code:

---

      $products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' [' . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . ']';

---

with

Code:

---

      if ($products_options->fields['quantity']) > 0) {
        $products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK . ']';
      } else {
        $products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK . ']';
      }

---

Then a few lines below that, replace the line

Code:

---

      $products_options_details_noname = ' [' . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . '] ' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');

---

with

Code:

---

      if ($products_options->fields['quantity']) > 0) {
        $products_options_details_noname = ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK . ']' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
      } else {
        $products_options_details_noname = ' [' .  TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK . ']' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
      }

---

and a few lines down from that, replace the line

Code:

---

      $products_options_details_noname = ' [' . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . '] ' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '' . $products_options_display_weight : '');

---

with

Code:

---

      if ($products_options->fields['quantity']) > 0) {
      $products_options_details_noname = ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK . '] ' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
      } else {
      $products_options_details_noname = ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK . '] ' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
}

---

Then add two define() statements to your languages/english/your_template/product_info.php to define TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK and TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK. (Repeat for any other languages you have.)

NOTE: I have not tested this, so don't run it on a live store until you've tested it first. There could be a typo in there ;).

Thanks for such a speedy response grayson......will give this a try ASAP.

Will let you know how it goes.....

I would like to see this as well; doesn't seem like it would be too hard to accomplish.

Cslhypno, see my second post above; it's there.

I'll be posting my updated package soon. Note that all of the changes are in the back-end admin, making the entry/maintenance of stock #'s a snap. I've made no changes to the way this mod operates on the front end. That'll be next...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '>' in /path/to/my/stuff/includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars_attributes.php on line 193

This is after doing both updates.

So......if you look on line 193, what do you see? :)

It's in the second mod, not the first; as I said, I didn't test the second one, and there might be typos in it ;) .

If you post your lines 190-195 or so, I'll take a look.

Ah, sorry, I'm runnin' a little slow today.. Here's 193-203

Code:

---

      if ($products_options->fields['quantity']) > 0) {
        $products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK . ']';
      } else {
        $products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' [' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK . ']';
      }
      } else {
      // don't show option value name on TEXT or filename
      $products_options_details = '';
      }
      if ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_images_style'] >= 3) {
      $products_options_details .= $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
