How do I add 'Units available' to the qty number on the products listing page?

[vivaraquel]

Hi, I have looked around the forum for this with no luck.

On this page http://dreamevent.com.au/fiona/index...=index&cPath=1 you'll see a list of products displaying img, name, price, add, and how much is in stock. However, the available qty is just a number, for all a buyer knows, it could mean a size.

I'd like to add text in front of the number to suggest that it refers to how many are in stock.

Where would I do this? Thank you.

The stock Zencart product info page looks like this

Model: 01234
Shipping Weight: 8lbs
0 Units in Stock

so I'd guess you've modified that template to move stuff around, and in the process, removed the 'units in stock' text.

You'll have to go back and figure out where it went, either in that template file or the file where that text is defined.

Thank you for your reply Stevesh, however I have not made any changes to it. If you go to the link in my 1st post you'll see it has
PRODUCT IMG
PRODUCT NAME
PRICE
ADD TO CART
ANAILABLE QUANTITY.

The available qty is just a number. What you're talking about shows up in the porduct info info page http://dreamevent.com.au/fiona/index...e5b6c6ef56f463 which I haven't changed.

I don't want to chnage stuff in there, just in the previous page where all products in a category are listed as per my original post.

Thnak you.

Hi,

If you figured out how to add text like "In stock:" or "Available:" in front of the quantity number in the category listing, could you please share this?

Many thanks,
Alex

No, I'm sorry, I still haven't worked it out but I really would like to thought as I feel it looks stupid just a number sitting there on its own. If anyone knows, please let us know. Thank you.

Thanks AlexT.

I tried that, it did absolutely nothing for me. My code looks like this:
case 'PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY':
$lc_text = TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY;
$lc_align = 'right';
$zc_col_count_description++;
$lc_temp = $listing->fields['products_quantity'];
$lc_text="${lc_temp} Units in Stock.";
break;

The $zc_col_count_description++; was already there. I removed it but it still did nothing.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

You are in a wrong place of the file, try to find the second instance of PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY further down.

Find

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY':
          $lc_align = 'right';
          $lc_text = $listing->fields['products_quantity'];
          break;

Replace with

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY':
  $lc_align = 'right';
  $lc_text = 'In Stock: ' . $listing->fields['products_quantity'] . '';
  break;

YAY, thank you, that did it. I should have re read the post better and notice the quote of 'in the second instance'. It's been a long day.

Thank you again.
