Before I embark on what looks like a bit of a headache to get right .. is there an easy fix to my issue ? I want to be able to have stock showing on one category , but not another , so My initial thought was to change the product type to use the different configuration options. While still using the Product-General type layout. After reading a little bit it seems like a headache I could really do without , so if there is a simpler solution , or someone has already cloned Product-General and can just pass me the file set , I would be very grateful .

Thanks.
