Warning: This is a quick-n-dirty hack and will not work on all product types.
Instead of just showing the “in stock” and “out of stock” messages, we want to have an in-between message to show that stock levels are running low. This is easily done, by editing the following file:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view/type/default.phtml
We change the contents of the file to the following:
<?php
$_product = $this->getProduct();
$_quantity = intval(Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($_product)->getQty());
?>
<?php if ($_product->isAvailable()): ?>
<?php if ( intval($_quantity) < 10 ): ?>
<p class="availability last-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Availability:') ?>
<span><?php echo $this->__('Only '); echo $_quantity; echo $this->__(" left"); ?></span>
</p>
<?php else : ?>
<p class="availability in-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Availability:') ?>
<span><?php echo $this->__('In stock') ?></span>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<p class="availability out-of-stock"><?php echo $this->__('Availability:') ?>
<span><?php echo $this->__('Out of stock') ?></span></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_type_data_extra') ?>
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product) ?>
That’s it!
We just created a warning-type level once stock drops to less than 10 items. Meanwhile, both the “in-stock” and “out-of-stock” messages are preserved. This can be easily styled using CSS. Note we added the class “last-stock” to our new p-tag
