Cannot Display "Out of stock" or custom message

[falcon030gr]

Hi, guys.

 

Before you start telling me that I have to search the forum for answers, I am saying I did, and applied some of the solutions that supposedly worked for some ppl.

 

All I want is to have a message displaying when product is out of stock, the custom one you enter in "Quantities" section when adding/editing a product and a relevant message when product is in stock and can be ordered. None of the messages displays for me, no matter what I have tried.

 

A basic question: Do I need to have Stock management set to OFF if I want to display such messages? What other settings should I have?

 

Thanks in advance,

Peter

I solved it by adding some code to the product.tpl

 

Thanks,

what code you added? can you share it here? Im convinced that it will be really helpful for other merchants

 

then i will be able to mark this thread as [solved]

The theme I am using was purchased through templatemonster. The author apparently forgot to add the "availability" part of code to the product.tpl file of his template. Switching to the default presta template, I was seeing the "availability" status block showing clearly on the product page. Switching to templatemonster tpl, the block disappeared.

 

So I copied the following block of code from the default presta tpl to mine under the size/color selection section:

 

 

<p id="availability_statut"{if ($product->quantity <= 0 && !$product->available_later && $allow_oosp) OR ($product->quantity > 0 && !$product->available_now) OR !$product->available_for_order OR $PS_CATALOG_MODE} style="display: none;"{/if}>
<span id="availability_label">{l s='Availability:'}</span>
<span id="availability_value"{if $product->quantity <= 0} class="warning_inline"{/if}>
{if $product->quantity <= 0}{if $allow_oosp}{$product->available_later}{else}{l s='This product is no longer in stock'}{/if}{else}{$product->available_now}{/if}
</span>
</p>

 

Where you will put the code actually depends on the structure of your template.

 

Regards,

Peter
