    Default coming soon option.

    Hi - is there anyway an extra product status can easily be generated? We want to be able to class a product as 'coming soon' which can then be changed once it's available. We don't know when it will be available but want to show it in the listing anyway.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Richard

    when addding a new product put the date:
    Date Available:
    (YYYY-MM-DD)
    here and it should say coming soon.

    Hmm - no such luck. When I do that, the product is still available in the site and when I re enter it in the admin the date available goes to '0000-00-00'

    Other query, for now I'm just going to change the 'sold out' sign to 'coming soon'. I have borders set for images in the product list but this then includes the 'coming soon' button.

    Any ideas how to give the button its own class so I can remove the border from it?

    I've found out that in the functions file there's an entry:

    $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT_SMALL, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_SMALL_ALT);

    Is there anyway I can add a new class to the button here (or can the function zen_image_button be modified). I may well have a go at just hard coding it.

    Thanks, Richard

    Anyone? Surely there must be a simple hack...I won't bump the message any more but really wanted to get some ideas from someone.

    find in your stylesheet:
    Code:
    .centerBoxContentsProducts  img {
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    }
    add, so it looks like this:
    Code:
    .centerBoxContentsProducts a img {
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    }
