Show "in stock" instead of showing units in stock

Hi,

I would like to remove the units in stock on the product info page and instead only show "In stock" or "not in stock".
I have found out that the file that controls this is: tpl_products_info_display.php
and that i probaly should edit the line:

Can anyone instruct me on what is should change the code to?

Best Regards
Gustaf

Nope!

You need to edit:

includes -> languages -> english -> product_info.php

find this line of code

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY', ' Units in Stock');

change the portion in red to whatever you want.

Save the edited file to your CUSTOM folder and upload to your server.

Yep sir...
One thing with Zen-cart, it is so easy to find out how to change things... Remember with code.. when ever you want to change something that says "change me" There is "change me" somewhere in the code somewhere.. so easy its not even funny:thumbsup:

Just a newcomer, and I know nothing, but wouldn't that just change the plain-text "Units in stock" message and not effect the amount displayed? So if he were to change it from "Units in stock" to "In Stock," it would then read:

1000 In Stock

When (I believe) he just wants it to say:

In Stock

Just curious...

You are correct Cfe, that is not what i'm looking for. I want to remove the number that shows the quantity on stock. Any other ideas?

I think cfe is right.

Thus, it requires two steps:

1. clydejones suggestion above
2. change the code to this:```php

Thank you, that removed the quantity. But here comes the tricky part: I want the In stock text to change to not in stock when stock is 0. How would i do this?

Thanks for helping out!

Look in admin -> configuration -> stock -> Mark product out of stock

replace *** with Not in Stock

Use this instead:```php

Then use a variation on clydejones earlier post, like this:

includes -> languages -> english -> product_info.php

find this line of code
```php
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY', ' Units in Stock');

and add these below it:

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK', 'In Stock');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_NOT_IN_STOCK', 'Out of Stock');

This worked perfectly, thank you for all your help.

Thanks a lot...I found it profoundly helpful when a PHP expert write the code for someone who's not so familiar with PHP to follow. I saved a lot of time trying and testing on something I just couldn't code properly.

How do you alter this so that instead of displaying words it shows an image instead?

I implemented thid mod and its fine except for one issue. The In Stock text is now prefixed by a bullet point (thats OK) but also an extra space. I cant seem to get rid of the space. Can you help out?

here is an example:

Thanks

Have you figured out how to fix it? I am thinking it's the CSS that's getting you the bullet .

You're right.
Add this to your stylesheet (or modify #productDetailsList li if it exists already) ```
#productDetailsList li {
list-style: none;
margin-left: -3em; /adjust to taste/
}

[QUOTE=DrByte;228928]Use this instead:```php
?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . ($products_quantity > 0 ? TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK : TEXT_PRODUCT_NOT_IN_STOCK) . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>

Hi Guys

Sorry to revive this old thread but this is exactly what i'm wanting to do in my current web site. I understand most of this but have no clue about the bit above. Where does this need to go exactly? When putting it into productinfo.php it results in a parse error on the product page.

Thanks for any help.

This was the file mentioned in post #1:

/includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :blush:

works a treat. Bit of formatting and i'm away!! :clap:

I got it 2 work, but on my webpage it now says: text_product_in_stock

If I try 2 remove the '_' from the php code it won't work. I see gjh42 mentions something about spacing, but I cant figure out exactly where that code should entered. Any help would be much appreciated.

The text_product_in_stock means it isn't working. You should be using capitals exactly as the example shows in all locations; lower case will not match. So:
TEXT_PRODUCT_IN_STOCK

The _ has nothing to do with spacing, and the code I mentioned would go in /includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css.
