editing SOLD items

[bamboozled]

1. Is there a way of making it clearer to customers that
an item is sold?

ie. the tag that is greyed out - to say something different than 'add to basket'

2. Also, can the amount the item cost be deleted after it has sold?

Also:

3. I have tried changing the amount available to O when an item sells outside the online site,
but customers apparently can still add the item to their basket for £0!

thankyou

Go to Backend -> "Preferences" -> "Products" (it's an option right below the main navigation bar). Some options in there may be very helpful in this case.

thankyou but it doesn't seem to address my difficulties sadly,


From the Back End: under the products in the preferences panel the first item is

allow out of stock ordering – against this I have checked “NO”
under this it says that “add to cart button is hidden when product is unavailable”
This doesn’t seem to be the case, it is merely greyed out slightly.

I would ideally like it to disappear.

Re: my other query, as my customers will have bought some of the items as presents, they do not want the amount
that they paid to still be visible!

I would like the price of the item to disappear.


any advice gratefully received.

OK here I am again!

I have reached a compromise which sort of works:

by changing the retail value of the sold item to 0
and also the quantity available to 0
and
changed the 'not available' to 'sold' via the translations option - hooray!

BUT

I would very much like to be able to have the Add to Basket tab disappear when the item is sold
Is this possible please?

To remove the "Add to cart" button instead of displayed a disabled button, change lines 20-24 of product-list.tpl from:

{if ($product.allow_oosp OR $product.quantity > 0) && $product.customizable != 2}
{l s='Add to cart'}
{else}
{l s='Add to cart'}
{/if}

to:

{if ($product.allow_oosp OR $product.quantity > 0) && $product.customizable != 2}
{l s='Add to cart'}
{*{else}
{l s='Add to cart'}*}
{/if}

BRILLIANT! thankyou, that is exactly what I wanted.
