Product_info.php stock status

[Guest]

Hi all,

 

Trying to get a stock status indicator working properly on our site at the moment which displays within the product info screen..

 

I was sent the following code by a friend earlier on this year who also has an OSC site and has this working, I pasted it in exactly the same place he has in product_info.php and it will only show the status as "Out of stock" regardless of how many we actually have in the qty box under admin.

 

<?php

 $prod_quantity = tep_get_products_stock($products_id); 
 switch ($prod_quantity) { 
  case -5: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_soldout.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case -4: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_soldout.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case -3: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_soldout.gif" border="0">'; 
  break;	   
  case -2: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_soldout.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case -1: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_soldout.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case 0: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_soldout.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case 1: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_limitedstock.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case 2: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_instock.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case 3: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_instock.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  case 4: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_instock.gif" border="0">'; 
  break; 
  default: 
  print '<img src="images/stock_instock.gif" border="0">'; 
 } 
 ?>

 

First of all i don't know if this is an actual added contribution for OSC on this site, if it is then can someone please forward me to the support thread ?

 

Any help will be apreciated i'm pulling my hair out here! :'(

Wow, that is some seriously inefficient code. :o

 

Why not try something like:

  $prod_quantity = tep_get_products_stock($products_id);
 if ($prod_quantity < 1) {
// out of stock
echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'stock_soldout.gif');
 } else {
// in stock
echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'stock_instock.gif');
 }

Hi Daemonj,

 

Thanks for the reply.. Just tried that code you said quickyl and it's basically doing the same as the one i posted up by always showing stuff as out of stock regardless of what the qty is set in the admin side..

 

Its not too much of a problem now anyway, i've found an actual contribution that im in the middle of moddifying now so it works better with our store, this one also does show the stock correctly :)

 

For anyone who wants to try this its: Quantity availability image and text Unlimited (sorry i havent got the link to this)

 

I'll give you a shout if i can't get this one working, but thanks for your help!
