Does OSC offer anyway to show inventory levels?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Does OSC offer any way to show live inventory levels on product pages and show inventory levels for the different options of one product (ie, tshirts of different sizes/colors). For an example of what I mean see, http://www.bustedtees.com/shirts/beethoven.

 

Does standard OSC offer anything to show inventory levels? Or are there any contributions?

 

Thanks

Do any of the inventory level contributions allow you to show inventory levels for multiple product options on one product? For example if I am selling a t shirt that comes in 5 sizes, will I be able to show 5 inventory levels for one product?

QTYPro is a fabulous one to use!

QTpro looks like it's the ticket.

 

For all you programmers, I am wondering if QTpro can be customized on how it shows the product attribute quantities on the product pages? For example, can the QTpro contr. be customized to show an inventory 'chart' on the product page that graphically shows the inventory levels instead of the actual inventory number. This is exactly what I mean...

Notice the availability chart.

 

Would it be possible to customize this contr. to show something similar to that? Basically the product attributes would be listed on the left, if out of stock it would show a pre-made "Out of Stock: Will ship in 1-2 weeks" bar. And the others that are in stock would be calculated by a ratio of top number of quantity for a product in a category, divided by the actual number for that attribute. For example if in the mens clothing category, the top product/attribute STARTED with 50 items and the a product within that category had 10 items left, the inventory bar would be 20% full. So it would just be a matter of calculating the product attribute inventory percentage and showing the right pre made inventory bar graphic.

 

Programmers, is this possible based on the QTPro contr.? How much work would be involved?

 

Thanks

it can definitely be done, a few hours of work for sure though. I did a few mods for QTYPro but never using more than one attribute for stock inventory. Basically the admin stock file shows the same in numbers. You would add a new column to the table to be able to insert a number you want to use for calculating (the 50 you used). the length of the bar would be defined by an image stretched to the necessary pixels. Would be a fun project for sure. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Glad to hear it can be done.....Now who wants to make it? :)
