Sharing Stock

Hi Support

This is a great feature and something you had promised for years. We currently don't use the RDD feature for in/out of stock. We do show stock status on our web site and this is changed manually for each cart we use so it's been a real pain. So I'm thrilled that it's finally done.

One question ... our manual stock status shows green text for "in stock" and red text for "out of stock" using style sheets. I know you can set the text to be shown instead of the stock figure if you use RDD (eg in stock instead of x number of units) but is there any way of colour coding "in stock" and "out of stock"?

Hi Tester,

I asked our web designer and they said unfortunately there is no way to do this with RDD, sorry about that.

Thanks

James

It looks like there are 2 Support Agents replying to this thread. I'm assuming that James (11.47) is replying to my initial post of 11.37. The other reply from Support (11.41) works.

Now it would be great if you could get that field lengthened. It should be a minor job.

Thanks so much

Hi guys

It looks like the field has been lengthened - I think, but can't remember how many characters I managed to fit into it before. However, it's still not long enough.

At the bare minimum, I'd like to set the font color properties plus say "in stock". However, it would be nice if the field could be even longer to allow setting of font size as well, or to allow some other text such as "contact us for latest stock status".

Also, I'm a bit too lazy to start a new thread so I'll say it here. In this day and age of so many etailers having products drop-shipped (we rarely do), it would be good if the product manager could cope with XML stock feeds from suppliers. Or does it already and I've missed that feature?

Cheers
