Setting A Product to Not Track Inventory

[gilby]

We need the ability to not track inventory on certain products, so that it never says out of stock.

I know I can set it to do this for the entire store, but I only want this for certain products. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Working on the KISS priciple...
Why not just give these products a ridiculously high quantity of stock so that they never run out?

If the question is then "I don't want to show this quantity to the public"

The edit product_info.php something like
if quantity > 100000 then display "something else" otherwise display quantity

That is *exactly* what I did for my 'infinite quantity' products. This also has a side benefit of giving a quick indication of how many have been sold (As long as I remember what my starting count was).

Yeah it can be tough to remember kind of all sides: that cutoff might be 1000, that started with 10,000 (without the comma) or 100,000, or even larger... When if ever did the quantitiy get reset, etc... :) but still better than trying toadd anadditional field to "track" for eachand every product... But that's considering an existing store and having to figure out which product had to be controlled which way.

Have to remember (if using something that tracks attribute quantities) to also consider some form of cutoff quantity there as well when considering which "product" should show quantities and which should not...
