Miva Merchant 5 Module FAQs » Inventory Manger 5.x

How can I display an inventory "status" message in the basket (either on the BASK screen or during checkout) so that customers can see if the product is back-ordered?

You can display the inventory "status" of each product in this manner:

1) Go to the "items" tab of the page you want to add the display to, for example, the Basket Contents (BASK) page and make sure that the Inventory Manager "item" is assigned to that page.

2) On the "Basket Contents" tab of that  page add the tokens that you want to use.  They need to go inside of the code:

<mvt:foreach iterator="item" array="basket:items">



</mvt>

(there will be a bunch of other </mvt>s before the one that belongs to the <mvt:foreach...).  This is the loop which displays the items in the basket.  

You can use the "usual" tokens listed in the 5x_documentation.txt file that is included in the Inventory Manager download zip file.  Including:

<mvt:item name="BROK_INVENTORY" param="long_message" /> :the product's current level's long message

<mvt:item name="BROK_INVENTORY" param="short_message /> :the product's current level's short message

<mvt:item name="BROK_INVENTORY" param="level_name /> :the current inventory level (name)
