Admin->Display Product Quanity->Value...question...

[awarner20]

Hello all,

 

Hopefully this is a simple question. I have read the documentation, but couldn't find a complete answer. I am trying to display the product quanities in the product description area of my store. When looking for an answer I found that I should edit the value in the Product Quanity Display section of my Admin.

When looking for an answer I found that I should edit the value in the Product Quanity Display section of my Admin.

 

It was set at 0, so I changed it to 1, but I did not see any quanity listed in the product description of my store.

 

1. Should I set this value to 1?

2. Where should the product quanity be displaying?

 

Thanks for any guidance anyone can provide.

 

As a side note, this is my very first OSC store and I've been working on it for a couple months now. I have learned so much from the documention and the helpful users here, I just wanted to say thanks. I do what I can to answer questions here for other new users and I hope to be able to do more to help in the future as I will no doubt be creating more stores:) I'm so eager to go live with this store....we're almost there!

 

Thanks again,

 

Adam

Can anyone confirm if this is supposed to be working?

 

I am trying to display the amount of stock on hand for each product in the product's description page.

 

Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated:)

Not sure about the Product Quantity in Admin - I have a stock install of OSC running (latest version) and it doesn't work on that either. Try this:

QT Pro will also display "Out of Stock" for any product or in any attribute dropdown once zero stock levels have been reached.

Jason,

 

Thanks a ton, that worked great! I already have a contribution installed to show Out of Stock for zero products, not sure if it was QT Pro or not. This code seems to work good with it;)

 

For anyone that comes across this thread, here's how it's done.

 

1. Open catalog/product_info.php (make a backup!)

 

2. Find the code not too far from the top that looks like this...

 <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="pageHeading" valign="top"><?php echo $products_name; ?></td>
		<td class="pageHeading" align="right" valign="top"><?php echo $products_price; ?>

 

3. Directly after the above code, add this.....

 

4.

<?php

$prod_quantity = tep_get_products_stock($products_id);

switch ($prod_quantity) {

case 0:

print "Out of Stock";

break;

case 1:

print "1 in stock"; 

break;

case 2:

print "2 in stock";

break;

case 3:

print "3 in stock";

break;

case 4:

print "4 in stock";

break;

default:

print "5+ in stock";

}

?>

 

5. Tweak as needed.

 

Thanks Jason and goNeoNe for the assistance here:)
