When a customer pre orders a product I just want the *** next to the product (referring to it being out of stock) to say pre-order instead of ***

Customers are reading the message about it being out of stock but not noticing the tiny red *** next tot the product it is referring to at the checkout.

No idea if this will work for Journal but someone else had a question like this a while ago.

at the end there is a ocmod

you can edit the language file to change the text in catalog/language/en-gb/checkout/cart.php

you can change the text in catalog/view/theme/YOUR-THEME/template/checkout/cart.twig

Code: Select all

<td class="text-left"><a href="{{ product.href }}">{{ product.name }}</a> {% if not product.stock %} <span class="text-danger">***</span> {% endif %}
Be aware that the above method will cut off quite a few characters but maybe you can try.

I tried to change the text in catalog/view/theme/YOUR-THEME/template/checkout/cart.twig before i posted on here.
Unfortunately didn't work, cleared the website cache and the browser cache. No change

Thanks for linking to the other topic. The extensions they mention are about removing the out of stock product altogether from the front end. I just want to rename ***.

Thank you for trying anyway.

If you can't find an extension, you could pay a developer such as ourselves or post a job in the Commercial Support Forum.

just do a text search on your files for *** perhaps journal does it somewhere in css or javascript.

Ditto above

The post linked in my original post offers a work around to highlight the bar in red to avoid the customer missing the ***

In that post xxvirusxx linked to two modules that remove it altogether - That is not the part I meant.
It may not be exactly what you want, but the above two comments give you your options - the third would be to contact Journal support.

and if you found the code in the correct theme folder and changed it and not taking effect and you cached using Opencart (both in admin modifications and dashboard) - this could be Journal cache on cache or server caching or browser caching or a caching extension - and you need to flush that out -
