♥mdtaylorlrim Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 This is a quick and easy code drop in to add a statement telling the customer that the item is not in stock, and a link to click to notify when the item is in stock. It also prompt them to register so it may prompt more registrations, or drive them away, who knows... And if the item is in stock it says how many... Around line 175 of the product_info.php file, find this: <tr> <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td> </tr> and add this BEFORE, not breaking the table tags... the code below adds a complete new table row. <!-- add in for click to notify when in stock --> <tr> <td align=center> <?php if ($product_info['products_quantity'] == 0) { if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { $check_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as count from " .

www.in.no Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I suppose you could add a overall IF statment checking if stock level is in use or products are marked out of stock. if (STOCK_CHECK == 'true') { if (STOCK_MARK_PRODUCT_OUT_OF_STOCK == 'true') { if (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT == 'true') { Just a suggestions if someone would like to modify it to their needs...

Haven't tried it on one that doesn't. Thanks for the coding works very well even when you take away the stock number. Just a couple of questions The first is an easy one I think. what do you do to make the number in stock that is shown in echo $product_info['products_quantity'] . " available. Ships in one day!"; into bold i have changed one bit "<b> available. Ships in one day!</b>" which takes care of the wording, but the number before I'm not sure about. The second question is what about a language that is not English? is there a way to swop from one to another Regards Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forummaker Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 This is exactly what I'm looking for. I've tried adding the code where indicated... but when I go to the product it doesn't show up. ie. It doesn't appear that anything has changed. Not sure if this is what the issue is or not. - I have the product qty listed as 0. - I have also disabled to show the product qty. But, have tried enabling to show qty with same result. Not sure what I'm missing. Thanks for any help. - MODIFIED - Now here's something odd. It does work on some of the products and not on some of the others. I checked both attributes for each item and they are the same. What other reason would it show up on some and not others? That "Can" you're about to open... has worms! Don't say I didn't worn ya. n. pl. cans of worms Informal - A source of unforeseen and troublesome complexity.

forummaker Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I see part of the problem... It only shows up on those items that have had reviews written on them. If there is no review on them it does not show the change. That "Can" you're about to open... has worms!

forummaker Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Sorry for all the posts... Here's what I did to get it to work... not sure what the exact problem was. find this: <?php $reviews_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as count from " . TABLE_REVIEWS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "'"); $reviews = tep_db_fetch_array($reviews_query); if ($reviews['count'] > 0) { add before: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" border="0"> <!-- add in for click to notify when in stock --> <tr> <td align=center> <?php if ($product_info['products_quantity'] == 0) { if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { $check_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as count from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_NOTIFICATIONS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'"); $check = tep_db_fetch_array($check_query); $notification_exists = (($check['count'] > 0) ? true : false); } else { $notification_exists = false; } echo "<font color=red><B>*** Temporarily out of stock ***</b></font><BR>"; if ($notification_exists == true) { echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=notify_remove', $request_type) . '">Notify me when this item is in stock.</a>'; } else { echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=notify', $request_type) . '">Notify me when this item is in stock.</a>'; } } else { echo "This item is available and ready to ship within two business days!"; } ?> <BR> </td> </tr> <!-- end add in for click to notify when in stock --> </table> All works great now thanks for the mod!

If there is no review on them it does not show the change. Then you likely put it in the wrong place... A lot of code is repeated and it is important to get it in the right place, around line 175, but i realize that different contributions and custom changes could have changed that number considerably. Maybe I should have included a little more code... Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
