Re: Hiding the stock count on the product pages

Is it possible to nicely hide the stock count on the product pages ? My client is concerned that having it visible, especially on limited edition items, might not look good if certain items don't sell quickly. Looked through the manual and the config screens, but could not see a backend option to do this.

Another alternative would be to change the text to read "Still in stock" or "out of stock" as the case maybe, without showing the actual numbers.

It appears to be in the Views -> Products -> Show code, but my PHP isn't good enough to make the changes needed.

A little help would be appreciated.

You can hide it with just some CSS (you can add it in the config on the display tab):
.hikashop_product_quantity_main{display:none;}

Easier than expected. Many thanks, Nicolas.

Sorry - didn't work as advertised. Yes, it hides the Stock Quantity, but it also hides the Add product button, which kind of makes selling items difficult. Seems the two are ties together somehow.

Oh indeed.

So you have two solutions:

1. Change the translations in the config under the tab languages. You can change the text or even empty it so that your users don't see the message.

2. Edit the file quantity of the view product via the menu Display->Views and remove the code:
echo JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK',$this->row->product_quantity);

The translation override did the trick. As an interim I had set the text colour to match the background int he CSS. The values were still visible, but only if you try to select the page content.

Again, thanks for your fast response.

Ive found the "show stock" line, now lives in view "product" "quantity"

It's the file quantity of the view product.

You can also try the CSS modification I provided at the beginning. That should work too...

The line $this->params->set('show_quantity_field', 0); is not to remove the stock level but to remove the quantity input filed next to the add to cart button.

Could I ask which view I would alter to remove mention of stock levels?

product / show.php (in the more recent revisions of hikashop doesnt contain the stock level line does it)

It's the file quantity of the view product.


The line has slightly changed though. It's now:
echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK',$this->row->product_quantity).'</span><br/>';

I want to chime in here. I got rid of the stock levels but how do you close the extra white space? Image attached

Just remove the <br/> at the end of that line of code and that will remove the space

I guess my question is where would I find that exact code? I inspected the element with webmaster tools and there does not seem to be any <br> code.

It's in the file "quantity" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views.

Just to confirm the quickest easiest way to hide the Remaining Stock Counts on product pages is to add this line to the CSS.

.hikashop_product_stock_count {display: none;}

The stock counts will still be available in the raw html but not viewable in the browser.

The other option be to remove some text in the product > quantity view but that requires altering the view.

Instead of eliminating it entirely, Is it possible to have it just say "In Stock" when there is 1> quantity.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes. Change the translation key X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK to "In Stock" with a translation override:
