amitxox Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 If I mark items out of stock they are not showing. Anyone know if it is possible to display out of stock items but mark them as out of stock. Atleast the customer should know we carry the item but it is out of stock. If anyone knows, please advise. Thanks Amit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdairyboy Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yes ours has the same seettings as yours does. I asume that if you mark something inactive that it shows up out of stock on the site. Or are we doing this wrang and should be setting the inventory to 0?

UncleSteve Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The settings on my page are... Try experimenting with the above. They work for me. Just re-read the op. Marking stock as OOS will hide them. Its basically doing as it should. Whoops... At first I thought it meant zero stock as in actual stock level (I was in a rush). Many of my stock levels are minus figures, but still display and checkout (which is what I imagined you reffered to). So why do you want to manually mark OOS? You could modify the admin page to actually display stock levels/count. Then you would have an instant visual check. Then use the OOS button to hide the product when you wish to remove from the sales area. ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdairyboy Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 What we Want And I beleive the original Poster wants is for os commerce to state that the item is out of stock and leave still visible to the customers on the web so they can see that we still offer and stock the product. and hopefully they'll come back and order when it comes back in stock Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However when they're added to the cart, and in the cart page, the product will have *** (or what ever you set in admin) displayed by the product description. Then this message will also be displayed Products marked with *** dont exist in desired quantity in our stock.You can buy them anyway and check the quantity we have in stock for immediate deliver in the checkout process. At least this way, you have got the customer to purchase the product and they have been notified it's out of stock. You can of course change the alert message in the language files (catalog/includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php) ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
