What's New Page - Quantity

[ken.yong]

Hi, I have modified my What's New Page, adding in MORE INFO buttons in displaying products. I would like to have OUT OF STOCK button displayed when the inventory level is zero.

 

I have the code written out, however:

 

if ($products_new['products_quantity'] > 0) {
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $products_new['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_more_info.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_MORE_INFO) . '</a>';
	 } else {
 echo tep_image_button('button_out_of_stock.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_OUT_OF_STOCK) . '</a> ';;
}

 

The problem is my New Products page does not recognize $products_new['products_quantity']. I have tried $listing['products_quantity'], $products_quantity, $products_quantity['total'] to no avail.

 

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can give me some directions in what to use in the above code.

 

Thank you very much!

Hi, I continue to play the code around to no avail. Now I have another module that "include" the product_listing.php file and I discovered that $listing['products_quantity'] works only when a customer clicks on the Category infobox. It does not work when the other module uses the product_listing.php file.

 

Can someone help me please?

Finally figured out... Hope this helps who have problems in displaying or managing zero quantity inventory in ALL pages.

Look for codes for products_new.php when displaying out of stock products. Specifically,

1) $stock_level = tep_get_products_stock($products_new['products_id']);

2) if ((STOCK_CHECK == "true")&&($stock_level < 1) ) {

 

Add and modify the above codes to your needs.

 

Also, modify $variables for pages other than products_new.php, e.g. $products_new['products_id'] to $listing['products_id'] if you want to apply the codes to products_listing.php.

 

I saw another post posted in 2002 asking similar question, where $variable $products_new['products_price'] works when $products_new['products_quantity'] does not.
