My (workaround) for an inventory backorder system

I really needed this function and I have no idea how to code, I found a simple solution that I wanted to share just in case anybody else was in the same situation.


First, I added 1000 to my all of my inventory. this way, if it says 1023, I know I have 23 available.



Second, I found this line, I had no idea what I was doing but it worked, I added "-1000" after product quantity. This way my front end displays the product inventory -1000, which is the real inventory.


class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK',$this->row->product_quantity-1000).'</span><br/>';


In the following link it explains how to add some code to notify the customers if there is less than a certain quantity.


www.hikashop.com/en/forum/search.html?q=...antity&childforums=1


Here is the code after I changed it.


if($this->row->product_quantity<1001)
echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.JText::_('This size/colour is on backorder so it might take around ten days for delivery').'</span><br/>';


I added the <1001 here, and my backorder message. This way as soon as the item reaches 0, it informs the customer of a longer waiting time, this is where my plan takes effect. Customers can order with the knowledge that it will take a bit longer due to the item not being in stock.

The only negative effect I can see here is that my inventory has plus 1000 products, But this doesn't bother me at all.

Hi,

The code evloved a bit since then. It's the file "quantity" of the view "product" that you want to edit via the menu Display>Views.
The cod eto change is now:

if($this->row->product_quantity == 1 && JText::_('X_ITEM_IN_STOCK') != 'X_ITEM_IN_STOCK')
			$text = JText::sprintf('X_ITEM_IN_STOCK', $this->row->product_quantity);
		else
			$text = JText::sprintf('X_ITEMS_IN_STOCK', $this->row->product_quantity);

		echo '<span class="hikashop_product_stock_count">'.$text.'<br/></span>';

Hi,
is it possible to use in stock checkbox filter with this "+1000 quantity" hack?
Where and how do I need to customize the code?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No. You'll have to customize the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/filter.php
and change the code:

if($filter->filter_type=='instockcheckbox' && $infoGet[0]=='in_stock'){
			$filters[]=' b.product_quantity!=0 ';
		}
to:
if($filter->filter_type=='instockcheckbox' && $infoGet[0]=='in_stock'){
			$filters[]=' (b.product_quantity==-1 OR  b.product_quantity<=1000 ) ';
		}

Hi Nicolas,

thank you for your effort, but when I use it, I get this error in frontend.


Error is still there also when I use the originial piece of code. I had to unpublish the filter and e-shop works again.
Any ideas why?

Hi,

Try adding the code:

	function getFieldToLoad($filter, $divName, &$parent){
		return '';
	}
after the line:
class hikashopInStockCheckboxClass extends hikashopFilterTypeClass{
in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/filter.php
That should fix the problem.

Hi,

Then could you provide a screenshot of the settings of your filter and a link to the page where we can try it ?

Hi,

Change the line:

$filters[]=' (b.product_quantity==-1 OR  b.product_quantity<=1000 ) ';
to:
$filters[]=' (b.product_quantity=-1 OR  b.product_quantity<=1000 ) ';
I made a typo in my previous code.

Hi,

It's not possible that you get the exact same error message if you did that change.
Please provide the new error message you have and check that the code has been modified properly.

Hi Nicolas,
there is no error, but the filter doesn´t work. I get a list of all products, but not only those which are on stock, but completely all.

Hi,

Ok. Then try with this line of code instead:

$filters[]=' (b.product_quantity=-1 OR  b.product_quantity>=1000 ) ';

Hi,

We got the access but we're not able to access to your backend. We're getting the error below:

Could you do something about it ?
