OUT OF STOCK for Zero Products is not shown ?

[Sir Lance]

Hi

 

When the inventory for one of my products get to zero, I would like to display the OUT OF STOCK / ON ORDER, to inform the user that the part is still available (some time in the future).

 

Currently when the inventory goes to zero, the product cannot be searched, which is no good for me :(

 

In my admin config, I set Mark product out of stock to OUT OF STOCK / ON ORDER. But this does nothing ?

 

so OK what have I done wrong (again).

 

The product 6001 just ran out at my RC store, yet I can't even see it : http://myrc.com.au/catalog/advanced_search...p?keywords=6001

 

 

Regards

Hi I am wondering whether anyone has a responce for this questinon ??

Have you looked at the shop's admin settings to see how out of stock should be treated?

[Sir Lance]

Yeah I have

 

Check stock level true

Subtract stock true

Allow Checkout false

Mark product out of stock SOLD OUT / ON ORDER

Stock Re-order level 5

 

Are there some other settings I am missing ?

Hi I can anyone help me display the OUT OF STOCK while customers are viewing the product. Currently the customer only gets that message when they go to check out the item.

 

They get the following type of message in their What's In My Cart?

 

06001 / 6001 Chassis

*** SOLD OUT / ON ORDER ***

 

$19.00

 

Products marked with *** SOLD OUT / ON ORDER *** dont exist in desired quantity in our stock.

Please alter the quantity of products marked with (*** SOLD OUT / ON ORDER ***), Thank you

You probably need to put some code like

 

	  if (STOCK_CHECK == 'true') {
	$stock_check = tep_check_stock($products[$i]['id'], $products[$i]['quantity']);
	if (tep_not_null($stock_check)) {
	  $any_out_of_stock = 1;

	  $products_name .= $stock_check;
	}
  }

 

In product_info.php
