Magento Community Edition 1.7.0.2
Warning: This is a quick-n-dirty hack and will not work on all product types.
Instead of just showing the “in stock” and “out of stock” messages, we want to have an in-between message to show that stock levels are running low. This is easily done, by editing the following file:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/type/default.phtml
We change the contents of the file to the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | <?php $_product = $this->getProduct(); $_quantity = intval(Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($_product)->getQty()); ?> <?php if ($_product->isAvailable()): ?> <?php if ( intval($_quantity) < 10 ): ?> <p class="availability last-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Availability:') ?> <span><?php echo $this->__('Only '); echo $_quantity; echo $this->__(" left"); ?></span> </p> <?php else : ?> <p class="availability in-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Availability:') ?> <span><?php echo $this->__('In stock') ?></span> </p> <?php endif; ?> <?php else: ?> <p class="availability out-of-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Availability:') ?> <span><?php echo $this->__('Out of stock') ?></span></p> <?php endif; ?> <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_type_data_extra') ?> <?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product) ?> |
That’s it!
We just created a warning-type level once stock drops to less than 10 items. Meanwhile, both the “in-stock” and “out-of-stock” messages are preserved. This can be easily styled using CSS. Note we added the class “last-stock” to our new ptag
