Stock Control, show how much is available on the order page

[Danny]

For products you can enable the stock control, what is a nice feature. But on the product site it will not show how much is still available, so my question is, is someone knowing what to add on the order page template to show this there, that the customer can see only 5 available or something like this.

Thats a good question.  I have not used the stick control function as of yet so will need to look into this.

The stock level details must be recorded somewhere in the database so its a matter of either finding the HB function/syntax or creating one yourself if not included.

For some things the stock control is useful for me. As Example if you want to provide 5 test VPS you can set this with the stock control and the customers can see how much are available and only these 5 can be ordered then.

But i don´t know the variable to add this on the template.

Its possible that there isn't one.  I need to speak to my developer and see what he says.  I don't think the issue is complex to fix if there isn't a current vairable.  However, it will take time to diagnose and create one within the design.

Danny - I have emailed my Developer but he may not respond to Monday,  Ill let you know as soon as he comes back.

Hi,

Danny, use {$product.qty} which stores the value for stock quantity.

You can use something like this in your order page template:

(Available:{$product.qty})

Thanks.
