Customizing the coupon module

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   If someone's already covered this please excuse a newbie. ;> 
What I'd like to do is be able to have a coupon that will allow a discount for items that are in stock only. For example; a customer wants to buy a blue size 12 dress, it's in stock so they get the coupon automatically applied when they check out, but they also want to buy a blue size 2 dress which isn't in stock. They can back order it but at the regular price, no discount.  Tech Support tells me the module isn't set up to handle this so some customizing would be needed. 
Any suggestions would help tremendously, please bear in mind that I do NOT know the first lick about ASP or AJAX programming but am fairly good with HTML.
Thanks!

	This isn't an ideal solution but the simplest way to do this would be not to display items as being out of stock. Nigel
