cart.tpl question

I am trying to test displaying a message depending on the product's stock_status_id but just when I do a <?php echo $product['stock_status_id'];?> , it doesn't return a value. How can I have this info shown?

Thanks

I think I am close, how do I get the stock_status_id using system/library/cart.php ?

anyone? i am so close to getting this figured out...

You can't get the stock_status_id, but you can get the text by using:

$product['stock']
$stock

You can then use the text for comparison, for example:

if ($product['stock'] == 'In Stock')
if ($stock == 'In Stock')

Thank you, I'll give that a try!

My goal is to assign some product options with different stock statuses. Some would be pre-order, others avail in 7-14 days, and I'd let them still order them despite having 0 quantity. Some items that sell out, stay out of stock and wouldn't be order-able.

Then take his suggestion a little further and set up either a switch statement or set up some else if's.

Thanks all, I think I got it now

OK I need a little more help

How do I get the $product['stock'] to show me the stock_status name like In Stock or Pre-Order
<?php echo ($product['stock']) ;?> shows a 1

When I tried to use a switch($product['stock']){ with different cases, it defaulted to the first case.

Sorry, I was a little bit off...if you're on the product page, then:

<?php echo $stock; ?>

will get the stock status text if "Display Stock" is set to "No", and will get the product quantity if it's set to "Yes".

thanks you! How does it get handled on the cart page?
I have DIsplay Stock set to No.

You are talking about: http://demo.opencart.com/index.php?route=checkout/cart right?

If so, I'm after this one, too

On the product page I want products with option value of 0 to show the out of stock message (2-3 days, pre-order, etc) in the pull down

On the cart page I want to show the same messages based on the product's option's out of stock message
