add custom text for products when are not in stock

[eldonate]

Hello,

 

Our eshop has been populated with around 5000 products and we now want to add a text for any product that has no text on the field "when in stock"

 

Is it possible to add a code for doing this?

 

We need to separate immediatly available products with the ones that are available uppon request.

 

Any other idea how to fix this? I cant go through 5000 products and add manually a text for each one bt I can add text for the available only as these are quite much less

I believe the setting is in catalog/products/quantities/availability - "Displayed text when in-stock".

 

But I have no idea how to bulk update this....Perhaps by accessing the database directly would be the easiest?

Well I was looking to place someting like this on product.tpl

 

<p id="availability_statut"{if ($product_lang->available_now = "")} 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>

 

What does this need to work?
