Do not allow checkout IF STOCK = -101

[khoking 2]

Hi,

 

I use stock quantity to control my stock status. I set my stock quantity to -100 for items that only have ONE unit. So when customer ordered, it automatically becomes -101 stock quantity.

 

I want to DISALLOW checkout if the stock is -101.

 

May I know how can I do that? Where to edit? Is it Checkout Process? Shopping Cart?

 

Please help.

Doesn't the stock go down when ordered? Have you tried setting the quantity to 1 and then change the stock settings so checkout is not allow if the quantity is 0? That's the normal way of doing it, unless I'm not understanding the question.

Hi Jack,

 

Thanks very much for replying.

 

I do understand that OSC has the feature to disallow checkout when the quantity becomes 0, but I do not want to disallow checkout for that.

 

I only want to have a clause where when quantity becomes -101, checkout is disallowed. I only want to disallow checkout when the quantity is -101. The reason I want so is that for product that I only have ONE unit stock, I can set the stock quantity to -100, and when someone ordered, it becomes -101 and others will not be able to order again.

That makes NO sense. If you have ONE item, set the quantity to ONE.. Once it is sold, that's it !

Sounds looney to me as well but try this in checkout_process.php

 

Change

 

// Out of Stock

if ( (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT != 'true') && ($any_out_of_stock == true) ) {

 

to

// Out of Stock

if ( (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT != 'true') && ($any_out_of_stock == true)|| tep_get_products_stock($products_id) == -101 ) {

 

HTH
