Display stock quantity on product options

[romerz]

I've trawled through loads of different threads reading about all sorts of different stock control requests and different things. I was recently looking to display the stock available on each of my product options, figured out a fairly simple way and thought I would share it on here - as I've used loads of things from the rest of the community.

Please note that is by no means the best method of how to do this, but it works for me.

In controller/product/product.php

On around line 246 find

Code: Select all

'name' => $option_value['name'],

and add below

Code: Select all

'quantity' => $option_value['quantity'],

In view/theme/themename/template/product/product.tpl


(I use Radio boxes to select my option, but this will work with any method)
On around line 94 find

Code: Select all

<b><?php echo $option['name']; ?>:</b><br />
<?php foreach ($option['option_value'] as $option_value) { ?>
<input type="radio" name="option[<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>" id="option-value-<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>" />
<label for="option-value-<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>"><?php echo $option_value['name']; ?>
<?php if ($option_value['price']) { ?>
(<?php echo $option_value['price_prefix']; ?><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?>)
<?php } ?>
</label>


On the last line, you want to make it say the following

Code: Select all

<?php echo $option_value['quantity']; ?></label>

This will then display the quantity that item has in stock next to the option. You can then set it for example to only display when subtrack stock is set to yes, or add a div and give it its own style etc. There are plenty of things that can be done with this.

(What I've done for example is set it so show in Red when the stock is less than 5, and Green when the stock is more than 5)

I'm sorry my 'fix' isn't as slick as others offered, but hopefully this helps someone out at some point.
