how to show quantity when order is over available amount

Hello,
When someone adds an item to their cart that is over the quantity on hand, it marks the item in red in the shopping cart with ***. Is there a way to also show the customer how much quantity is available for this item so that they don't have to guess and keep entering a lower quantity and continue in circles until they get to an available amount?

Using your templates and overrides you should be able to use something like this ...

  if ($product['flagShowFixedQuantity']) {
    echo $product['showFixedQuantityAmount'] . '<br /><span class="alert bold">' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '</span><br /><br />' . $product['showMinUnits'];
  } else {
    echo $product['quantityField'] . '<br /><span class="alert bold">' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '</span><br /><br />' . $product['showMinUnits'] . ($product['flagStockCheck'] ? ' left ' . zen_get_products_stock($product['id']) : '');
  }

Hi Ajeh,

Thanks for the reply.

I added this portion of the code because the other portion already exists:

($product['flagStockCheck'] ? ' left ' . zen_get_products_stock($product['id']) : '');
}

This is at the end of the code you provided. But now when I click on view cart, I get a blank page.

Could you post everything in that area from the starting <?php to the closing ?> ... approximately lines 68 - 74 ...

Hi Linda,
I'm so sorry. It works! I think I might have cut and paste the wrong way. So tried again and it works wonderfully!
Thanks so much.
Did you see a bug that I reported on my other thread in regards to able to checkout with insufficient stock in the general forum? I did a fresh install and did a test and the bug still exists in the fresh install.

Yeps ... now go post over there the info we need to help you out better ... :cool:
