Adding Date Available with a message to items that will be sold...

[Coins2012]

Hi All,

Most of our items are in stock but there are instances where we sell items on 'Pre-Order' or 'Pre-Sale' bases, right now we had our items pages modified where the Available Date is further out, the system shows 'Pre-Order' but does show In Stock when Available Date Field left blank.

Here are the two link for our web site:

http://www.aydincoins.com/buy-silver/silver-rounds
http://www.aydincoins.com/buy-silver...ce-fine-silver

if you notice it says 'Pre-Order', I would like to modify the code to add the following message in red font:

"This item will begin shipping on (Available Date Field).
Orders containing this item will not ship until this item is available."

how can I show the above message on the two pages I included here but only on items that are Pre-Order.

The message should NOT display when the Available Date Field is blank or before today's date.


Thank you

You will have to post a section of code from /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Zen stock code does what you are asking for just worded differently.

In the above file look for something that looks like this:

<!--bof Product date added/available-->
<?php
  if ($products_date_available > date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) {
    if ($flag_show_product_info_date_available == 1) {
?>
  <p id="productDateAvailable" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE, zen_date_long($products_date_available)); ?></p>
<?php
    }
  } else {
    if ($flag_show_product_info_date_added == 1) {
?>
      <p id="productDateAdded" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_ADDED, zen_date_long($products_date_added)); ?></p>
<?php
    } // $flag_show_product_info_date_added
  }
?>
<!--eof Product date added/available -->

I am sorry but I didn't get what you said but here is the file below, what's the code to add the message, thank you.

I really appreciate your help, it worked perfectly but how can I show the same message on this page also:

[rbarbour]

The code for that page is in /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/product_listing.php

This code will differ from the previous.
