Hide Qty Available

[cflyrun]

Hi there,

I’d like to hide the quantity available from customers – I want to *use* inventory control, I just don’t want people to be able to see how many are available. I use this for seminars and workshops, and if people see there are a lot available, they don’t sign up as quickly as I’d like Then there’s a rush at the last moment!

I can edit code,

Thanks,

Daisy

Update: A better way to handle this is to use a CSS tweak.

1) Grab this plugin (if you don’t have something similar already):

2) Insert the following css in there:

.eStore_available_qty{

display: none;

}

That should do it.

I have a feeling you are using the fancy1 display and you don’t want to show the “Available Qty” in that display. If my guess is correct then open the “eStore_misc_functions.php” file and search for the following lines:

if (!empty($ret_product->available_copies))

$output .= '<br />'.ESTORE_AVAILABLE_QTY.': '.$ret_product->available_copies;

Once you find it just delete it and that will do the job.

Yes, I’m using the fancy display but don’t want to show Available Qty.

Thanks for the code edit!

Thanks – Yes, I’m also using Fancy1 display and this little fix did the job.

Hello.

I would like to remove the ” Availabe Qty ” from being displayed in fancy2 – I would still like to limit the available copies using the inventory control though.

Can I do this using the same method described above?

Thanks!

Hi, In the “eStore_misc_functions.php” file search for the following

if (!empty($ret_product->available_copies))

You will need to go to the 2nd occurrence (this should be under the following code section “function show_product_fancy_style2”)

Once you find this code delete the following:

if (!empty($ret_product->available_copies))

$output .= '<br /><strong>'.ESTORE_AVAILABLE_QTY.': </strong>'.$ret_product->available_copies;

Thats great Ivy. Thank you

Update. This did not work quite as expected.

It does remove the available quantity, but it messes up the styling of the fancy display and even the sidebar widgets. Not sure what I am doing wrong, I know nothing of php.

Thanks

Sorry about that, an extra line got in the code when I copied it. I have revised the above code. Please redo the modification using the code above.

Note: Please make sure to undo the first modification as this removed an extra line of code.

Related to this, I would like to change the text of “Available Qty” within Fancy1, Fancy2, and Fancy3 displays. I’ve searched through a ton of the php files but can’t seem to locate it. Thanks!

Hi there,

I know this is an old topic, and perhaps that it why the fix offered isn’t working for me…

I’m using fancy1, and when I make the php edits suggested, it takes out my site. I’m a php novice, so perhaps I need more guidance.

Thanks

It is easier to do this using CSS (Instead of PHP edit). Do the following:

1) Grab this plugin (if you don’t have something similar already):

https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-custom-css-plugin-6413

2) Insert the following css in there:

.eStore_available_qty{

display: none;

}

That should do it.

Yes! I so prefer CSS solutions to PHP solutions. This worked perfectly. Thanks!
