Disable addtocart button for certain stock only for selected products

[stawebnice]

Hi,

please is there a way to hide addtocart button for certain products (not all) that have stock lower than 50?

I think they could be added to a hidden/unpublished virtuemart category, so this condition could be selected with product in certain category that have stock 50 or less

Could you post the code for productdetails/default.php and category/default.php  - or addtocart.php sublayout or where else it belongs, please?

You can use different layout(for categories, products ...), but this is not a right solution, because on doing a search in the shop., the cart is show for all.
A solution is to do a plugin "check for stock" so you can set stock level and disable add to cart for product having minimum stock set in this plugin.
Of course another solution is to pay the team so they add the feature in the core paying here http://extensions.virtuemart.net/support/virtuemart-supporter-membership-gold-detail if you need it qucik.
You can contact me or another dev in the forum to make this plugin. It's not a big Job to do it.

If i don't error there is a sublayout for addtocart. Simply override that and you could exclude products on stock value. This should be fairly simple to do. Today stock under 1 is filtered out.

@Jorgen: yes, that is what I think. Right now there must be  such options for the default stock handling options that are related to number of products in stock, but I need to modify this code for availability text...

I know the principle but I am not a programmer...

and I already have my silver membership for this year and did not wish anything yet, saving it for Christmas, huh, Max :]

This should be easy. If someone does not beat me to i will be back.

Hi, the problem is that you have to hard code in the addtocard sublayout a list of categories and check for this and update manually, if you need it later.
It's why i have give you 2 possibilities that are more simple to maintain.
