Can anyone tell me how to modify $product.avail?

Specifically, I want to modify the value of it before another line is executed in product.tpl (customer/main/product.tpl).

For example:
{$product.avail = 7}
{if $config.General.unlimited_products eq "N" and ($product.avail le 0 or $product.avail lt $product.min_amount) and $variants eq ''}

that way, when the 2nd line began to execute, it would see that $product.avail is greater than 0 and continue.[/b]

are you trying to make the avail always = 7 ?

well i was trying to make a simple code that checked if the product.avail was 0, then make it 1, so people could order out of stock products, but i've found somewhat of a workaround and allowed backordering to occur

More details on the backorder mod here:
