Showing out of stock on below thumbnail

[lessharma]

Hi all,

Can someone help. We are now selling baby shoes as well as baby gifts. I have created a new site call Snuggle Feet. I'm displaying the products in thumbnail images, when you like on a thumbnail it then goes to the main product. See here http://www.snugglefeet.com/shoes-for...12-months.html


I've created the thumbnails the old fashion Actinic way by creating loads of sub-sections and then droping the main products into the sub-sections.

My problem is that I would like to show shoes that are out of stock below the thumbnail image. Is their anyway of doing this?

It's been a week. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Does actinic decide whether out of stock or you doing it manually?

[JSnow]

This might work.

Add the following below the code calling the thumbnail

<actinic:block type="ProductList" >
<b>Estimated Available Stock</b>: <span style="color:#f00"><actinic:variable name="StockLevel" /></span><br />
</actinic:block>

Hi,

The above code works great. Thanks alot!!!

See it working here...

http://www.snugglefeet.com/shoes-for...12-months.html

How do I change the code so it shows 'Out of stock' when the stock level is 0? instead of showing all the stock level numbers.

Just wrap the "Out of Stock" text you want displaying in a block if with the condition StockLevel <=0 (obviously don't type in full, use the variable for StockLevel)
It should then only display if an item has 0 or less stock level (she says, optimistically LOL)

or use the IsInStock ==False? I'm less sure about that one. blockifs aren't my forte lol

Stupid question but, are you sure that the product you are testing this on is actually marked as fully out of stock.

Not related but on the left column a piece of code which shows a small white line under the credit card logos.

which shows a small white line under the credit card logos

Sort of makes it look like a picket line poster. Half expect to see some babies walking in circles chanting all sorts of profanities

Thank you all for your replies.

Just had a look in Firefox and you are right, will sort out later.

Can anyone give me the right code for showing 'out of stock' below the thumbnails.

I need to read up on conditions and variables, but running the business is hard enough at the moment. We are very very busy!

I've tried this...

         <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsOutOfStockShown%22%20%2f%3e" >
            <br /><br /><strong><actinic:variable name="OutOfStock" /></strong>         </actinic:block>

But it didn't work.

Can you help.

[JSnow]

I was missing a block. The code works now. Good Fun

I'm no expert but here's a wild stab at the block if's Tracey mentioned above.

Replace the code I gave you previously with this:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22StockLevel%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3e%200">
<actinic:block type="ProductList" >
<b>Estimated Available Stock</b>: <span style="color:#f00"><actinic:variable name="StockLevel" /></span><br />
</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22StockLevel%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3c%3d%200">
	<b>Out of Stock</b><br />
</actinic:block>

[JSnow]

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsOutOfStockShown%22%20%2f%3e" ><br /><br /><strong><actinic:variable name="OutOfStock" /></strong></actinic:block>

But it didn't work.

Didn't work for me either. All I got was a line break.

Thanks for your reply. Yes item is 'out of stock'.

The only code that works well is the first code from Jsnow. Shows the stock level in numbers. But all I want is to show the items out of stock.

Anymore ideas?

[peblaco]

Whatever template put in Actinic is putting it in twice.

[JSnow]

But all I want is to show the items out of stock.

Remove the first block from the second bit of code I posted so that all you see is this:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22StockLevel%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3c%3d%200">
	<span><b>Out of Stock</b></span><br />
</actinic:block>

This block checks whether your stock is less than or equal to 0. If so, display "Out of Stock".

Works a charm for me.

Actinic is putting it in twice

I couldn't begin to think even if I wanted to

It's a Friday so that's it, fullstop.
