Hello

v6.50

I do not want [cstock] to display the quantity amount stock. I would like it to simply say 'In Stock' instead of the number in stock.

What code do I change to be able to accomplish this?

Hello

I think I have found the answer @ http://www.shopforus.com/index.asp?url=customize28

Unless this is the same thing as [cstock] introduced in later versions of VP-ASP

I haven't tested it yet but you may be able to play around with it to hide the "inventory" some how.

I followed Mario's link and tried this, but it didn't work. Is there a specific template filename I need to add to my product records? Currently I have left the "template listing" field blank.

That didn't work.

C'mon VPASP support - this should be easy for you. My ASP skills are very limited.

Simply, check against the product quantity in the database and display the words "In Stock" if stock is > than "xOutOfStockLimit" or "Out of Stock" if it is < than "xOutOfStockLimit" instead of writing the "QUANITY" of stock.

Looking forward to your reply.

if you're using the raw [cstock] value in your templates (as opposed to using the special buttons template fields which sometimes show "out of stock" messages etc), then you could create a new template field.

If you're using something like our byz033 addon (to create extra template fields), then you could use example1 as your base, eg use this in your template:

[BYZ_EXAMPLE1_ARGS cstock]

and then change the function in byz_template_codes_functions_example1.asp to something like this:

Sub BYZ_EXAMPLE1_ARGS(arg_in_value,arg_out_value,arg_in_cursor)
Dim retval
retval=""
if (arg_in_value<>"" and IsNull(arg_in_value)=false) then
if (CLng(arg_in_value)>=CLng(0)) then
retval="In Stock"
else
retval="Out of Stock"
end if
else
retval="Out of Stock"
end if
arg_out_value=retval
End Sub


our extra template fields addon (byz033) is here:
http://www.bigyellowzone.com/shopexd.asp?id=42

but that's also included for free in all our other template-field related addons too.

I tried your code and it does not show the words 'in stock' or 'out of stock' It just displays the value in the cstock column. Is there something wrong with this code?

Sub BYZ_EXAMPLE1_ARGS(arg_in_value,arg_out_value,arg_in_cursor)
Dim retval
retval=""
if (arg_in_value<>"" and IsNull(arg_in_value)=false) then
if (CLng(arg_in_value)>=CLng(0)) then
retval="In Stock"
else
retval="Out of Stock"
end if
else
retval="Out of Stock"
end if
arg_out_value=retval
End Sub

it should be fine, just make sure you use this in your template instead of [cstock] -

[BYZ_EXAMPLE1_ARGS cstock]

try adding test messages around the template-field too, just to make sure that it's using that template in the place that you're seeing the value.

It should work fine on any product-based template.

If you let me know the ftp server/userid/pwd and example urls for a product with stock and one without, then I'll have a look; you can email that to me direct to [email protected], or post a ticket on our help area with the info asking for me and I'll pick it up. I'm curious to know why it's not working, so I'd like to have a look, especially as there might be other people with a similar problem and the root cause/solution might apply to them too.

Wow! I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the outstanding service that BigYellowZone given me. Your solution worked like a charm. EXACTLY what I wanted. The scripts this company offers, allow non-programmers like myself to customize my site with ease. The support after you purchase a product from them is outstanding. Thanks Simon

Hi Simon,

How could i modify this so that it shows LIMITED STOCK if the stock level is below 5 for example?

Regards,
