Resolved - Show Out Of Stock Message

[Nikki72]

It seems at the moment if a product is out of stock you can either hide the buy button from that product which displays "Out of Stock" or allow out of stock purchases but then the product doesn't show any out of stock message.

I would like to still allow out of stock purchases but still show that "Out of Stock" message so the customer is aware that the product is indeed awaiting stock.

Do you know how i can do this please?

I suspect adding an if/then arrangement where the stock number is displayed to show a message that it is out of stock but can be back ordered would work. I did something similar in content.product.php to highlight that Quantity Discounts were available.

<!-- Availability -->



{if $PRODUCT.use_stock_level && $PRODUCT.stock_level != false}



<li title="{$LANG.catalogue.stock_level}">



<!--<strong>{$LANG.catalogue.stock_level}</strong>-->



<span class="availability">



{if $PRODUCT.stock_level > 0}



<p><strong>{$LANG.catalogue.stock_level}</strong> {$PRODUCT.stock_level}</p>



{if isset($PRODUCT.discounts)}



<p>(Quantity Discount Available)</p>



{/if}



<!--{$LANG.catalogue.stock_available}-->



{else}



{$LANG.catalogue.out_of_stock_short}



{/if}



</span>



</li>



{/if}

Thank you very much for that but it's not working for me. Here's my code (I've removed references to Quantity Discounts and substituted "{$LANG.catalogue.out_of_stock_short}" with "Awaiting Stock":

{if $PRODUCT.use_stock_level && $PRODUCT.stock_level != false}

{if $PRODUCT.stock_level > 0}

<p><strong><strong>{$LANG.catalogue.stock_level}:</strong></strong> {$PRODUCT.stock_level}</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

{else}

<p><strong>Awaiting Stock</strong></p>

{/if}

{/if}

Try:

{if $PRODUCT.use_stock_level == false || $PRODUCT.stock_level > 0}

   {if $PRODUCT.stock_level > 0}

   <p><strong><strong>{$LANG.catalogue.stock_level}:</strong></strong> {$PRODUCT.stock_level}</p>

   <p>&nbsp;</p>

   {/if}

{else}

   <p><strong>Awaiting Stock</strong></p>

{/if}
