how to show quantity when order is over available amount

[ebaobao]

Hello,
When someone adds an item to their cart that is over the quantity on hand, it marks the item in red in the shopping cart with ***. Is there a way to also show the customer how much quantity is available for this item so that they don't have to guess and keep entering a lower quantity and continue in circles until they get to an available amount?

Using your templates and overrides you should be able to use something like this ...

  if ($product['flagShowFixedQuantity']) {
    echo $product['showFixedQuantityAmount'] . '<br /><span class="alert bold">' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '</span><br /><br />' . $product['showMinUnits'];
  } else {
    echo $product['quantityField'] . '<br /><span class="alert bold">' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '</span><br /><br />' . $product['showMinUnits'] . ($product['flagStockCheck'] ? ' left ' . zen_get_products_stock($product['id']) : '');
  }

Hi Ajeh,

Thanks for the reply.

I added this portion of the code because the other portion already exists:

($product['flagStockCheck'] ? ' left ' . zen_get_products_stock($product['id']) : '');
}

This is at the end of the code you provided. But now when I click on view cart, I get a blank page.

Could you post everything in that area from the starting <?php to the closing ?> ... approximately lines 68 - 74 ...

Hi Linda,
I'm so sorry. It works! I think I might have cut and paste the wrong way. So tried again and it works wonderfully!
Thanks so much.
Did you see a bug that I reported on my other thread in regards to able to checkout with insufficient stock in the general forum? I did a fresh install and did a test and the bug still exists in the fresh install.
