Home page message that shop is open if stocks are available

[Glasso]

Hi,

 

In a multistore install of prestashop 1.6.1.6, what is the easiest way to have each shop show a message dynamically on the home page, if at least one of the products is in stock?

 

Since our products arrive only at specific times, I am looking to have an automatic note to the customers that the shop is open to orders when I stock products.

 

 

Thanks.

Try creating override/controllers/front/IndexController.php with the following:

<?php
 
class IndexController extends IndexControllerCore
{
    public function initContent()
    {
        parent::initContent();
       
        $result = Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS('SELECT COUNT(*) as num_products_with_stock FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'stock_available` WHERE `quantity` > 0 AND `id_shop` = '.(int)$this->context->shop->id);
        if (is_array($result) && count($result) > 0) {
            $this->context->smarty->assign('have_available_products', (bool)$result[0]['num_products_with_stock']);
        }  
    }
}

Remember to go to Advanced Parameters > Performance and click the "Clear cache" button (or manually delete cache/class_index.php) so PrestaShop can find the override.

 

You can then write a message in index.tpl like the following:

{if $have_available_products}{l s='We have products in stock!'}{else}{l s='Sorry, we are out of stock. Please check back later'}{/if}
