Stock Monitoring - 'out of stock'

[gearedup]

We use stock monitoring. When a product has sold on the website - the customer is shown the ' out of stock' message - can this be chaged to say something else like ' temporarily anavailable' ?

In your template manager there is a specific template to change this message.
It's in the "section" section and it's just called "out of stock"
Hope that helps

Thanks - do you know where I would insert the text I wish to have show?

<!-- OutOfStock HTML begin -->
<!-- This template is used for the out of stock message. -->

<B><P class="actwarningcolor">NETQUOTEVAR:OUTOFSTOCK</P></B>

<!-- This template is used for the out of stock message. -->
<!-- OutOfStock HTML end -->

Edit the bit that I have changed to "Type your message here" above.
Mine says "This chariot is on hire" and it displays fine.
Hope that helps

Actually, I've done that too but it didn't work.
Had to chenge the template before the message would change.
Not sure if changing the template over-rides the settings change though because it displays my template message change, not what my settings change was (which is slightly different wording)
Did that make sense?
Maybe someone from Actinic could confirm whether changing the template over-rides any changes you make in the business settings?

NETQUOTEVARs are variables that get replaced by the apropriate text when the site is compiled/updated. If you replace a netquotevar variable with something else then Actinic will no longer recognise the variable and subsitute the text.
