Re: How to replace quantity in stock with stock indicator

You can do this with smarty

file:
/skin/common_files/customer/main/product_details.tpl
(or whatever template file you use for product_details.tpl for your skin)

FIND this code:

Code:

{if $config.Appearance.show_in_stock eq "Y" and $config.General.unlimited_products ne "Y" and $product.distribution eq ""}

      <tr>

        <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_in_stock}</td>

        <td class="property-value product-quantity-text" colspan="2">

          {if $product.avail gt 0}

            {$lng.txt_items_available|substitute:"items":$product.avail}

And replace:

Code:

{if $product.avail gt 0}

            {$lng.txt_items_available|substitute:"items":$product.avail}

with:
{if $product.avail gt 0 and $product.avail lt 4}
<img src="RED_BAR.gif" />
{elseif $product.avail etc....
etc...
{/if}

use smarty to trap for number in stock and display the color bar. This shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to code it.

Yes?

A simple version is this:

PHP Code:


		
			
Traffic lights for stock levels:



{if $product.avail eq 0}

    No Stock

{elseif $product.avail lt 10}

    Low Stock

{else}

    Good Stock

}

Re: How to replace quantity in stock with stock indicator

I was thinking for something more complex combining the Low limit in stock and the Minimum order amount of every product.

From that numbers I would like to produce the tree or more steps limits and to be different for every product.

Let say that we have some product counted in pieces and some others in meters, some other have minimum quantity to order 10 pieces and some other have 100 meter.

I am trying to find a solution to combining all this data.

Any ideas??

Make the list of variable you want to manipulate. Then identify them as XC variables. Use them according to your needs. It is a job done with Smarty if statement.
