I want to show that a product is "temporarily out of stock" on the category page. Any way to do this already built in? I didn't find anything but might be wrong.

If not, has anyone done this modification?

Is this something that can be accomplished simply by having a developer edit the category / sub-category page to show a message based on stock availability? Or is there a way to do this in ProductCart?

Hi Tim,

Sorry I didn't notice this post in December.

We built the feature you are describing into a couple sites by adding a column to the product table, supporting that field on the product admin and CSV import tools, then displaying it on the category and product detail pages.

Example:

http://www.sierratoysoldier.com/ourstore/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=142 - http://www.sierratoysoldier.com/ourstore/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=142

http://www.sierratoysoldier.com/ourstore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=142&idproduct=4734 - http://www.sierratoysoldier.com/ourstore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=142&idproduct=4734

Contact me directly should you wish to discuss details.
