Hi,

 

I must be a fool, I am in the Admin area.

 

I run a business that carries no stock, so I don't wish to have stock levels or management. What do the Values in the Product listing equate to?

 

I assumed :

0= disable

1= Enable

don't know anytthing about the rest.

 

However in the listing I have put the quanity at 0 but it still dislays it.

 

Cheers for any help in advance

If you are running a 'drop shipping' type of business where you carry no stock yourself but advertise it for sale, and then buy the stock in once the order has been placed - then you will still need to set stock levels for the goods to be advertised for sale.

 

If your site sells digital downloads then they still have to be added as products.

 

Finally, if your site doesn't 'sell' anything at all then osCommerce is not needed.

Actually you can make osC ignore the stock levels completely. In your admin go to configurtation-> stock-> check stock levels-> set to false

configurtation-> stock-> subtract stock levels-. set to false

 

Do that and you can complete ignore the stock numbers.

Just goes to prove - you're never too old to learn. I spend so much time recoding osCommerce that sometimes the basic settings get by me.
