'Stock' Link Has Dissappeared from the 'Configuration' Menu in Admin!?!?!

Hi all,

Just noticed the other day, on my website, whether the item is in stock or not, it is allowing customers to add them to thier basket. Now i was going to go to Configuration->Stock and amend the values in there but when i went to go there, the Stock option was not in the list, anyone know which files i need to replace or amend to get it back there again?

Thanks

Shaun

First let's check if you are missing some keys in the configuration table ...

You can use the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... to check for the following keys using the top input box and selecting NONE from the dropdown:
STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT
SHOW_PRODUCTS_SOLD_OUT

this will give you an edit button if found ...

If you can click on the edit button and see any of these, then there could be something wrong with the configuration or configuration_group tables ...

Another check is to search via phpMyAdmin and see if the configuration table has the 18 keys for the configuration_group_id = 9 ...

And that the configuration_group table has a record for configuration_group_id = 9 ...
