Setting a max number with a + for items with large stock

[einarso]

I can`t find a function that I believe must be included in ZC, or can be solved by doing something simple. In my ZC store I show the stock status on each and every product. We have ordered some products in large quantities, and we really don`t want to show the whole stock. Many stores have the simple solution of having a "max" value on stock so instead of "* 105 units in stock", it says "20+ units in stock" (if the max limit is set to 20).

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

That's normally in a group of <li> tags in the tpl_product_info_display.php template.
If your PHP skills are up to the task, you can write your customization right there.

Ok - thought maybe this was a setting in the admin system as this is quite common presentation of stock.

I know how to read and search php (I understand programming), but sadly I am not able to write php code. I guess this is the code that needs to be changed:

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

Can anyone rewrite this code for me so that if products_quantity > 20, it shows "20+" instead of the actual number?

Sure ...

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . (($products_quantity > 20) ? '20+' : $products_quantity) . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>

@lat9, thanks for posting the code. I was away from my development code when I posted earlier so I couldn't post any examples!
