Replace Product quantity by something like stock level

[LuMe96]

Hi all,

I'm new to Zencart a do have to set up my first e-commerce website.

What I would like to (have to) do is replace the product quantity by something like an stock level indicator. E.g.: Rather than showing the quantity, I would like to indicate :
- "on stock" for a qty > 2
- "limited stock" for a qty between 1 and 2
- "on order" for a qty < 1.

Ideally this should be shown on the different product listings (new products, prods by cat listing, etc...) as well as on the product info page.

I tried to search the forum, but haven't found anything related.

Is there an mod or could some kind person give me some hints as to what files to modify ?

Thank's a lot in advance for your help.
Bye.

The file you are looking to edit is tpl_product_info_display.php which is found in includes/templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER/templates- If it's not there copy it from the template_default/templates folder into includes/templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER/templates. The line you need to change looks like:

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

replace it with:

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . ($products_quantity>=2?'In stock':($products_quantity>=1?'Limited stock':'On order')). '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>

Let me know if you want to do the same for product listings.

Actually, a smarter version (and in keeping with the override ethos) is to use the following instead.

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . ($products_quantity>=2?TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK:($products_quantity>=1?TEXT_PRODUCT_LIMITED_STOCK:TEXT_PRODUCT_ON_ORDER)). '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>

and copy/paste the following into includes/languages/english/YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER/product_info.php

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK', 'In stock');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_LIMITED_STOCK', 'Limited stock');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_ON_ORDER', 'On order'); 

(I pasted it into line 22). Otherwise I've attached the file so you can just store it to includes/languages/english/YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER/

Very helpful, thank you sir.

Also not forget to add the defines,

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK', 'In stock');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_LIMITED_STOCK', 'Limited stock');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_ON_ORDER', 'On order');

in all language folders and translated if you have more than one language installed in your cart.

could this function be applied also to attribute by stock mods? it would be very interesting
