How to disable stock quantity?

[daisesvoice]

Found the answer! WooHoo!

Go go under Product Types under the Catalog header and then click the "edit layout", You will see the line to change so the "In Stock:" quantity does not show.

Bless you! I've been looking for that answer for 3 days lol

I have some products I DO NOT want to display the quantity and other I DO.

I figure out how to turn on/off the stock quantity, but it affects all products. Any suggetions?

What distinguishes the Products that should show the quantity from the Products that should not show the quantity?

H Ajeh,

I have three categories, the one I don't want the quantity to show is the photograph category. What distinguuishes which should or not have quanitty? the photographs have attributes (print sizes) attached to them while the other categories don't. I am able to change layouts for the photograph specific category using css, but cannot figure out how to disable the quantity just for the photographs category?

Any ideas?

Do these Products all belong to the same master_categories_id or do you mean the only Products with Attributes should not show the quantities?

Only products with attributes should not show the quantities.

You could use a function to see if there are attributes and if so, then do not display the stock:

  function zen_has_product_attributes($products_id, $not_readonly = 'true') {

Using that function on your templates and overrides such as:

  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1 && !zen_has_product_attributes((int)$_GET['products_id'])) ? '<li>' . $products_quantity . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>
