Adding product availability to pages_default.tpl

Hi there,

My client wants to show the product availability in the list of products in the sub-pages and result page.
Now I managed to place the product availability with the $aData[sAvailable] tag, but this only shows what the user has inserted in the admin.

I want to make this dynamic because I wish to add an icon to each particular description. For example, when the user inserts "Op voorraad" in admin, the front should show a particular icon.

What I did now, is I inserted a img tag in admin, but obviously, this is not the best solution. I want to create a function or method that changes the output depending on the input.

I hope you can understand what I want to achieve.

Can someone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

Update;

I managed to paste the $aData[aAvailable] tag into pages_defailt.tpl, but I can't use php to check the value. I wish to check the value, so I can decide what icon I want to add to it.

First try to edit file lang/en.php (or language file which You using) and add as many variables as You need fe.


$lang['AvailableOption1'] = 'Option 1 text';
$lang['AvailableOption2'] = 'Option 2 text';
$lang['AvailableOption3'] = 'Option 3 text';

After that You can edit file core/products.php function listProducts() and in this function You can add if statement for example:


if( isset( $aData['sAvailable'] ) && !empty( $aData['sAvailable'] ) ){
    if( strcmp( trim( $aData['sAvailable'] ), trim( $GLOBALS['lang']['AvailableOption1'] ) ) == 0 )
        $aData['sAvailableIcon'] = '<img src="path_to_icon/icon.jpg" alt="" />';
}

In file templates/pages_default.tpl in block PRODUCTS_LIST You can add variable $aData[sAvailableIcon]

Most important is statement in listProducts() function. It means if You set product's availablity to the same value which is in variable $lang['AvailableOption1'] script will add image code:


<img src="path_to_icon/icon.jpg" alt="" />

of course You have to change path and name of image. Is it clear for You?

Thank you so much for your answer.

But It seems not to work; I get the feeling that the variable $aData[sAvailableIcon] is not passed on to the products page.

Do I need to set this variable first??

I posted this statement at the bottom inside the function listProducts() in core/products.php


if( isset( $aData['sAvailable'] ) && !empty( $aData['sAvailable'] ) ){
    if( strcmp( trim( $aData['sAvailable'] ), trim( $GLOBALS['lang']['AvailableOption1'] ) ) == 0 )
        $aData['sAvailableIcon'] = '<img src="path_to_icon/icon.jpg" alt="" />';
}

perhaps I posted it at the wrong place?

Try to add this code after line:


$aData['sPages'] = $this->throwProductsPagesTree( $aData['iProduct'] );
