Stock (quantity) information on products list

In this tutorial i want to show you the way of how easily you can add nice information about availability of products on product listing pages like homefeatured products view, products in categories or on other products listings. We will have to alter two files, one - template file related to appearance of product listings (product-list.tpl) and stylesheet file to apply nice looking css styles. Whole tutorial is super-easy and everyone with basic skills will be able to apply these changes.

Modification of theme template file: product-list.tpl

Go to your theme directory and open file product-list.tpl, path to the file looks like: /themes/your-theme/product-list.tpl where "your-theme" is the name of template that you use in your store :-) You can find there code like:

    <img class="replace-2x img-responsive" src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"
    alt="{if !empty($product.legend)}{$product.legend|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{else}{$product.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}"
    title="{if !empty($product.legend)}{$product.legend|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{else}{$product.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}"
    {if isset($homeSize)} width="{$homeSize.width}" height="{$homeSize.height}"{/if} itemprop="image" />

right below paste this code:

    {if $product.quantity >0}<div class='instock'>{l s='in stock'}</div>{else}<div class='outofstock'>{l
    s='in stock'}</div>{/if}

And of course save changes.

Adding CSS styles

open global.css stylesheet file located in your theme directory, in /css/ subdirectory. At the very end of the file paste this css snippet:

    .instock { background:green; color:white; padding:5px 10px; position:absolute; bottom:0px; right:0px; } .outofstock { background:red;
    color:white; padding:5px 10px; position:absolute; bottom:0px; right:0px; }

Save changes.

Okay, that's all. Now you shloud be able to see nice labels related to product's stock value. If product will be in stock you will se "IN STOCK" green label. If product will not be in stock, you will see "OUT OF STOCK" red label. Something like on picture below (effect of the tutorial)
