Showing Option Inventory Quantity and level

[Jake Herbert]

Hi,

I'm using the level ReadyTheme in a dev store.

I'm trying to display inventory for each option in a list. I do not want the customer to have to select the variant to then see the qoh.

I'm trying to replicate what I have working in 5.5 with Viking Inventory manager:

for example: http://www.facewest.co.uk/Arcteryx-F...SL-Jacket.html

So I want a list:

Attribute Name
Option1 3 instock
Option2 5 in stock
etc

Is this possible? What variable/ token can I put in the attribute template to pull that information?

I hate having to select options only then to see it's not available.

Thanks

Hi Jake,

I'm not sure that the function you are looking for is intrinsic to the built-in inventory management. I will investigate this and get back to you.

Hi Jake,

I have been able to confirm that the functionality you are looking for is not built into the software. It is possible to create a function to replicate what you are looking for. I would recommend contacting Professional Services [[email protected]] to get a quote on it.

OK so I really didn't like not having this working.

Customers have to select the option before they can tell if it's in stock. I think that's another barrier in our way from purchase.

So I found a fix:


This works on shadows readytheme: Should work everywhere?

Requires toolkit for the waitlist function.

It's a bit messy but does the job:


Inside the Attribute template on PROD:

FIND &mvte:option:prompt;

After that:

CODE START




<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vassign|OptiontoFind|l.all_settings:option: code" />


<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="waitlist|outcount|g.product_code|0" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="choice" array="tk_inventory">

<mvt:if expr="OptiontoFind CIN l.settings:choice:option ">

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:choice:count_onhand GT 0">
(In Stock)
<mvt:else>
(Out of Stock)
</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>

</mvt:foreach>

CODE END


Alternately use &mvt:choice:count_onhand; if you want the actual quantity available.


Hope that helps someone else. If there is a better way please let me know.


I'd say that should be built into the core product as that's the question customers want to know on arrival on the page. Do we have option X in stock?

By the way love the new readytheme!

OK So realised the above didn't work when option names were very similar.

Following seems to work:


&mvte:option:prompt;



<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vassign|OptiontoFind|l.all_settings:option: code" />


<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="waitlist|outcount|g.product_code|0" />


<mvt:foreach iterator="choice" array="tk_inventory">

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vassign|MatchingOptionCode|l.all_settings:c hoice:option" />



<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="gettoken|MatchingOptionCode,:,2|StrippedMat chingOptionCode" />


<mvt:if expr="OptiontoFind EQ StrippedMatchingOptionCode">

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:choice:count_onhand GT 0"><span class="inventory-display-instock">&nbsp;
(&mvt:choice:count_onhand; in stock)
<mvt:else><span class="inventory-display-notinstock">
&nbsp;(Out of Stock)
</mvt:if>
<span>
</mvt:if>

</mvt:foreach>
