Show "in stock" instead of showing units in stock

[x-tremeentertainment]

Yep sir...
One thing with Zen-cart, it is so easy to find out how to change things... Remember with code.. when ever you want to change something that says "change me" There is "change me" somewhere in the code somewhere.. so easy its not even funny

Just a newcomer, and I know nothing, but wouldn't that just change the plain-text "Units in stock" message and not effect the amount displayed? So if he were to change it from "Units in stock" to "In Stock," it would then read:

1000 In Stock

When (I believe) he just wants it to say:

In Stock

Just curious...

You are correct Cfe, that is not what i'm looking for. I want to remove the number that shows the quantity on stock. Any other ideas?

I think cfe is right.

Thus, it requires two steps:

1. clydejones suggestion above
2. change the code to this:

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>

Thank you, that removed the quantity. But here comes the tricky part: I want the In stock text to change to not in stock when stock is 0. How would i do this?

Thanks for helping out!

Look in admin -> configuration -> stock -> Mark product out of stock

replace *** with Not in Stock

Use this instead:

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . ($products_quantity > 0 ? TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK : TEXT_PRODUCT_NOT_IN_STOCK) . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>

Then use a variation on clydejones earlier post, like this:

includes -> languages -> english -> product_info.php

find this line of code

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY', ' Units in Stock'); 

and add these below it:

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK', 'In Stock');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_NOT_IN_STOCK', 'Out of Stock');

This worked perfectly, thank you for all your help.

Thanks a lot...I found it profoundly helpful when a PHP expert write the code for someone who's not so familiar with PHP to follow. I saved a lot of time trying and testing on something I just couldn't code properly.

How do you alter this so that instead of displaying words it shows an image instead?
