Hi, Short question:
How can I set up HikaShop to display every products amount like below 5 left and more than 5 left instead of exact numbers of how many is left in stock?
I have seen plenty of shops displaying amount of products like this but how do I set it up?

Thanks
Micke

Hi,
The solution will probably be to edit the code of your "quantity" file of the "product" view of your front-end template through "Hikashop->Display->Views" , and change these lines :

 <div class="hikashop_product_stock">
    <?php
      echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK',$this->row->product_quantity).'<br/></span>';
      if($config->get('button_style','normal')=='css'){
        echo '<br />';
      }
      if($max<=0 || $max>$this->row->product_quantity) $max = $this->row->product_quantity;
      if($this->params->get('add_to_cart',1)){
        echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('ADD_TO_CART'),'add',$this->params,$url,$this->ajax,'',$max,$min);
        $btnType = 'wish';
      }
      if(hikashop_level(1) && $this->params->get('add_to_wishlist')  && $wishlistEnabled && !$hideForGuest && $this->config->get('display_add_to_wishlist_for_free_products','1')){
        echo '<div id="hikashop_add_wishlist">';
          echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('ADD_TO_WISHLIST'),$btnType,$this->params,$url,$wishlistAjax,'',$max,$min,'',false);
        echo '</div>';
      }
    }

Hi,
Ok but as I'm no programmer I have no idea what to put in in order to display what I want,,
I want for example the quantity to display lie this (in english to make you understand)*:

More than 5 pcs left (if the number left of this product is 5 or more than five items)
or
Less than 5 pcs left (if the number of that product is less than 5).

Maybe you can give me a hint how to do it?

Hi,

You have to replace:

echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK',$this->row->product_quantity).'<br/></span>';

$qtyMessSet = 5;
if($this->row->product_quantity >= $qtyMessSet || $this->row->product_quantity == '-1')
    echo ' <span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('MORE_THAN_X_ITEMS',$qtyMessSet).'<br/></span>';
else
    echo ' <span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('LESS_THAN_X_ITEMS',$qtyMessSet).'<br/></span>';

MORE_THAN_X_ITEMS="More than %s pcs left"
LESS_THAN_X_ITEMS="Less than %s pcs left"

Hi,
The solution will probably be to change this line :

echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK',$this->row->product_quantity).'<br/></span>';

if($this->row->product_quantity < 5)
	echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">Less than 5 pcs left<br/></span>';
else
	echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">More than 5 pcs left<br/></span>';

Ok thanks a lot guys! I ued Xaviers methd as I like to add the translation in the language file.

I have another question.
Is it possible to add quantity to multiple products at one go?
Can a cronjob do this and if so how can you do that?

Maybe it's possible to add all products in a CSV/Excel exported from HikaShop and edit the file and the product_quantity field for each of these products and then re-import it via the product import?

Just want to let you know it works and it saves a lot of work too
Jut export a product category with all products and edit the fields you want to change value in and save and upload and voila!

Hi, just wanted to ask if this solution is still OK with the new versions of HikaShop?
It's been more then 9 year
