Show available stock quantity on product page - php

Firstly I would like to apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else but I am unable to find what I am looking for as I am new to PHP and assume I need this to solve my problem.
I have built a website and am using Mals-e shopping cart. I have everything up and running but I would like to show how many products are still in stock under the product description and if there are no items in stock. For example:
Available stock: 2
or
Sold Out
I have read that I need a text file with product name, price and quantity, a PHP file to read and rewrite the quantity available and out put the results on the product page and a mypage.php page but I really don't know where to start. I've spent days trying to sort this out.
I have Mysql database with some items in table called (items) with available quantity but don't know how to go about sorting it out. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Without seeing the actual code you're using to display the product, it's hard to say buy all you should need is something like:
<?php
// get the product and stock level
if($product->numberInStock > 0) {
echo 'Available: ' . $product->numberInStock;
} else {
echo 'Out of stock';
}
If you're editing a phtml type template (HTML with embedded PHP), you might display it like:
<? if($product->numberInStock > 0): ?>
<p>Available: <?= $product->numberInStock; ?></p>
<? else ?>
<p>Out of stock</p>
<? endif; ?>

Had same issue, found out following.
Inside your catalog/product type template you can use this:
<?php
$_product = $this->getProduct();
$_qty = $_product->getStockItem()->getQty();
?>
<p>
<?php if($_qty > 0): ?>
Available: <?php echo $_qty; ?>
<?php else: ?>
Out of stock
<?php endif; ?>
</p>

session_start($_POST['quantity']);
if(isset($_POST['quantity']))
{
$postedquantity=$_POST['quantity'];
$productQuantity="20";
if($postedquantity<$productQuantity){
echo "In stock";
echo "<br/>";
}
$productQuantity=$productQuantity-$postedquantity;
echo $productQuantity."Remaining";
}
You can even do like this,storing quantity value in session and everytime it's posted it will check whether it is in stock or not and it will show how much quantity is remaining.

How to only show category description and title if there's a description available?

Is it possible to only show the code below if there's a category description?
<h2>About <?php $cat = get_the_category(); echo $cat[0]->cat_name; ?></h2>
<?php $catID = get_the_category(); echo category_description ( $catID[0] ); ?>
I have these codes on my single posts in Wordpress but sometimes, I forgot to add descriptions on a new category that I added. So when a user visits the post, they will just see the word About Category and no description at all, making it looks like an incomplete article.
I'm not a developer and I'm also not familiar with PHP. I only added that code on the single.php to show the description. But I want it not to show when there's no description available.
Hope someone can give me the exact code to make it work.
Thanks!
Good practice to assign your values into variables at the top of your script before entering into HTML whenever possible. This will help prevent you making redundant calls and to debug your code better. Once you have your assigned values, you'll want to check if the value is empty. I am assuming the code you presented will always return some kind of value for index 0.
<?php
$cat = get_the_category();
$cat_0 = $cat[0];
$cat_0_name = $cat_0->cat_name;
$cat_0_desc = category_description($cat_0);
?>
<?php if(!empty($cat_0_desc)): ?>
<h2>About <?php echo $cat_0_name; ?></h2>
<?php echo $cat_0_desc; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I should like to point out that I am choosing to use an alternative syntax for control structures versus the traditional brace control. This will make your code more readable and easily debugged when mixed in with HTML.
If your code is still throwing you errors, I would suggest you check your error logs as something would be happining during the get_the_cateory() call or that it's not returning any values resulting in error with $cat[0].
<?php if ($cat = get_the_category() && count($cat)>0) { ?>
<!-- <?php echo print_r($cat,1); ?> -->
<h2>About <?php echo $cat[0]->cat_name;?></h2>
<?php echo category_description ($cat[0]->cat_id); ?>
<?php } ?>

Echo php product title - Wordpress/Woocommerce

I have a text that I want to dispay as a description on every single product page and I want to echo the product name in the fields.
Example: ''Buy this (product name) from our store. This is the best (product name) in the industry. By using this (product name) you save more.''
I used the epho function but it seems not to work properly.
<? echo woocommerce_template_single_title(); ?>
Could some one please help me with that issue, it will be verry appreciated
P.S.: I use WooCommerce and Wordpress
you should use <?php ?>
<?php echo woocommerce_template_single_title(); ?>
or
<?= woocommerce_template_single_title(); ?>
Use:
<?php
$tittle = woocommerce_template_single_title();
echo $tittle;
?>

Mijoshop / Opencart if Category of Product

I am using Mijoshop which is a Opencart integration for Joomla. What I am currently looking to achieve is to display a specific div class in the header if a certain product or category is matched.
I've found this code which I've added to my category.tpl but without any luck or any of these being displayed:
<? php if($category_id==20){
echo "text1";}
else
{echo "text2"}
?>
Any ideas on how to get this to work? Some expert help would be greatly appreciated.
Try this:
<?php if($category['category_id'] == 20) { ?>
echo "text1";
} else {
echo "text2";
}
?>
The value should be called by $category['category_id'] and you had some syntax errors:
Space after ?
No semi-colon after "text2"

Magento - show custom attribute in cart

I was looking for a way to display the "estimated delivery" of a product by using the attribute 'delivery' I've made.
So far I've managed to put together this:
<?php $delivery= Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->load($this->getProduct()->getId())->getAttributeText('Delivery'); ?>
<?php if(isset($delivery)){
echo $delivery;
}
?>
I have added this piece to:
template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml - between line 38/39 (Magento Version 1.6.2)
Here is the default.phtml from line 35-49 with the code added to the h2 tag:
<h2 class="product-name">
<?php $_item = $this->getItem()?>
<?// Delivery - Script ?>
<?php $_product= Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->load($_item->getProductId()) ?>
<?php $delivery= Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->load($this->getProduct()->getId())->getAttributeText('Delivery'); ?>
<?php if(isset($delivery)){
echo $delivery;
}
?>
<?php if ($this->hasProductUrl()):?>
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getProductName()) ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getProductName()) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</h2>
The problem is, the first product added to cart is being skipped, it's always showing the attribute as not set, but the second, third and rest of the products added to cart, works great, showing their est. delivery date just fine.
From here, I'm unsure how to proceed?
Use of singleton will result in same object being called repeatedly so previous object data will get overwritten.
Once you changed from singleton to getModel you have an instance for each product so no over writing on same instance.
After some Google'ing I found this, which seems to work - But I still cannot see why, and what the big difference is, if anyone would like to clarify it, I would be very happy.
This is the working solution, it's so simple, yet I don't understand:
<?php
$custom = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getProductId());
echo $custom->getAttributeText('delivery');
?>
This does not skip the first product?
app/design/frontend/{YOURTEMPLATE}/default/template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml
Past this code:
<?php $_item = $this->getItem(); ?>
<?php $_product = $_item->getProduct()->load(); ?>
<?php $_product->get{YOUR ATTRIBUT HERE}(); ?>

Magento Configurable Product Attributes

hey guys, having an issue with magento which i just cant seem to find a solution to.
i have tried many ways of getting a configurable products attributes (simple products) and listing them, now i have them listing from 2 ways but the way im working with is below
$confAttributes = #$_product->getTypeInstance(true)->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($_product);
$sizes = array();
foreach($confAttributes AS $atts){
//print '';//'<pre style="display:none;">'.print_r($atts).'</pre>';
if($atts['label'] == 'Size'){
foreach($atts['values'] AS $val){
$sizes[] = $val['store_label'];
}
}
}
my only problem with this now is i need to only pull back the size attributes which are in stock - looked through mage files to find solution but just cant see anything - the result i need is done in config product php file but i cant access it from in the code where i need to list the size attribute.
any help would be great, thanks!
Solution:
You can get easily all configurable(product) details page information on any other PHTML file by using following code:
e.g.: in my case i'm getting details on catalog/product/list.phtml.
<script src="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl('js') ?>varien/configurable.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php
$temp = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable();
$temp->setData('product', $_product);
$_attributes = Mage::helper('core')->decorateArray($temp->getAllowAttributes());
?>
<?php if ($_product->isSaleable() && count($_attributes)):?>
<?php foreach($_attributes as $_attribute): ?>
<?php
$prices = $_attribute->getPrices();
foreach($prices as $price) {
echo $price['pricing_value'] . "<br/>";
}
?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var spConfig = new Product.Config(<?php echo $temp->getJsonConfig() ?>);
</script>
<?php endif;?>
Thanks,
found the solution, i had to use the above what i had already coded and use assosicated products for the size and then check the stock levels and put them into an array and check the stock when building my attribute list - works great - anyone else have a better solution please share :D thanks
