====== Showing a Low Stock Message ======

This comes in handy when you only want to show stock levels or a message stating "Low Stock" when the stock level for an item __falls below a particular level__. The standard behavior is to show or hide inventory information, regardless of a particular inventory level. 

===== Source Code Changes =====

The code below is for V3.51 and is for standard products. If you wish to achieve the same result for BTO or Apparel products then check the code relating to those as it may be different.

Existing Code in pc/**ViewPrdCode.asp**:

<code asp>
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' START:  Show Units in Stock (if on, show the stock level here)
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~	
Public Sub pcs_UnitsStock
	if scdisplayStock=-1 AND pNoStock=0 then
		if pstock > 0 then
			response.write "<div class='pcShowProductStock'>"
			response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_19") & " " & pStock
			response.write "</div>"
		end if
	end if
End Sub
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' END:  Show Units in Stock (if on, show the stock level here)
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
</code>

... would become:

<code asp>
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' START:  Show Units in Stock (if on, show the stock level here)
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~	
Public Sub pcs_UnitsStock
	if scdisplayStock=-1 AND pNoStock=0 then

                ' COMPANY XYZ EDITS - START
		' if pstock > 0 then              <<<< ORIGINAL-CODE 
		if pstock > 0 AND pstock < 41 then
                COMPANY XYZ EDITS - END
			response.write "<div class='pcShowProductStock'>"
                        ' COMPANY XYZ EDITS - START
			' response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_19") & " " & pStock  <<<< ORIGINAL-CODE 
			response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_19")
                        ' COMPANY XYZ EDITS - END  
			response.write "</div>"
		end if
	end if
End Sub
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' END:  Show Units in Stock (if on, show the stock level here)
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
</code>

Note:

  * the removal of the stock level from the message that is written out to the page
  * an IF statement limiting the message to being shown when the stock level is between 1 and 40
  * of course you can set whatever levels or message you desire. 

Also not the use of the "COMPANY XYZ EDITS " comments. It is important to always, clearly comment any code edits, as mentioned in our **[[:developers:editCode|guidelines for editing ProductCart's source code and prepare for future updates]]**.
