There are two things I can't find for 1.4.9.3 that I would like to have.

One is a tabbed homepage. I'd like to have Featured Products, Latest Products, Specials, and an added tab for Pre-Orders (more on that below) on the homepage, so that you click the appropriate tab instead of having all the sections stacked on top of each other.

The second is a pre-order function that doesn't require me to allow people to check out with out of stock items to have them purchase items marked as pre-orders - I can see issues arising when people fail to look at the actual stock status and add items that are legitimately NOT in stock or on pre-order.

Ideally, what it would do is something like this: On the admin backend, there would be a selection in the Data tab for each product. Something like "Pre-Order?", with two options: Yes, and No. If "Yes" is selected, and the item has a stock level more than zero, then on the product page, Availability will say "PRE-ORDER" in red text instead of "In Stock". In this case, the item would also be visible in the Pre-Orders tab of the homepage. If "No" is selected, then the Availability will just be "In Stock" on the product page.

Hi There,

We have implemented some what similar functionality may not be entirely what you looking for one of our clients with small change. Logic is like this when the product reaches Qty less than " 2" instead of showing in-stock they will show "Pre-Order".

It can be implemented with small changes in the product logic i guess

Doesn't quite work, unforunately. I need people to keep being able to order pre-orders until I run out, and then to be blocked like normal when they are out of stock. Thank you though.

Even though its not the same , as I mentioned your functionality can be implemented with small changes in the product logic.

Tabbed homepage can be found here. Demo can be found at http://demo.fido-x.net/

I have seen that, but it does not appear to include the choices I want.
