Show variant stock level (for out of stock) in dropdown

Hello,

So far in HikaShop there are no options to do that unfortunately... But it's always possible but via an override view ( Documentation ).
Now to be clear we can guide you to perform yourself this custom as usual, but this will require advanced knowledge in Html, Php AND HikaShop view.

Awaiting your returns to going more far on this subject.
Regards

Hi,

With HikaShop 4.4.1, that we've released last week, we've added the support of products with only one characteristic to the dynamic system that you can activate with the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting.
So update your HikaShop, make sure that this setting is configured to "always" and it should work like you want.
If it doesn't, it means that you have an override of show_block_characteristic.php based on an old version of Hikashop.

Hi,

Then there is no solution with the options available.
Either you have the out of stock variants removed from the list, or you have them.
And the stock is always displayed after the selection of the variant.
That's because if you have two characteristics, you can't display the stock until you've selected both dropdowns.
To change that, then you would be left with custom coding as philippe said. In the file show_block_characteristic.php try to add the code:

$value->characteristic_value.= ' ('.$variant->product_quantity.')';

if($variant->product_quantity != 0){

Hi,

It could be because the option "Display out of stock products" is turned off in the HikaShop configuration, or it could be that you've added the modification for another template than the template you're using on your frontend.

Note also that I've said to add the code BEFORE the other code so that it displays for all the variants whether they have stock or not.
You've added it after, which means that it will only display the stock if it's above 0 and won't change anything otherwise.
So based on your screenshot of the variants, only the choice "5" should have a (3) appear next to the 5.

Hi,

In the same file, change the line:
if(!$config->get('show_out_of_stock',1)){
to:
if(true){
and it will work regardless of how that option is configured.

Hi,

Then I'm not sorry. It would require some code debugging to understand what is missing and what should be changed where.
Please understand that this is outside normal user support and getting into custom development work.
If you want us to work on this for you to make sure it displays like you want, please use our contact form to request a quote on this :

Hi,

It's noted.

In my first message where I posted some code here I said "try this code". The code I gave here has not been tested. It's just code I think would work knowing the code and what you want to do. But without proper coding there can be things I didn't think about that I would know if I spent an hour or 2 on it. Please understand that I was just trying to help and give you a head start with your modifications of the views. If you understood that I would provide ready-made modifications that were sure to work to do what you want, then I'm sorry as that's not what I wanted to say.
