ship time message

[ryanstowasser]

Is there a shipping time frame message built into Ablecommerce?

For example if a product begins being back ordered, can I display a message that tells the customer there will be a delay in shipping?

well i think we haven't any time frame message for this purpose.

Here is a sample code you can easily extend it. I assumed that when we got low stock for a product and back order is allowed then there should be a message some where with product information that its shipping may be late.
Create a new file ConLib/BackOrderInfo.ascx and put the following code in it.

Code: Select all

<%@ Control Language="C#" ClassName="BackOrderInfo" %>

<script runat="server">

    private string _text = String.Empty;
    
    [Personalizable(), WebBrowsable()]
    public string Text 
    {
        get { return _text; }
        set { _text = value; }
    }

    protected void Page_Load(Object sender,EventArgs e) 
    {
        int _ProductId = AlwaysConvert.ToInt(Request.QueryString["ProductId"]);
        Product _Product = ProductDataSource.Load(_ProductId);
        if (_Product != null && _Product.AllowBackorder && (_Product.InventoryMode == InventoryMode.Product))
        {
            if (_Product.InStock <= _Product.InStockWarningLevel)
                ShippingMessage.Text = Text;
        }
    }
</script>
<div class="content">
<asp:Label ID="ShippingMessage" runat="server" Visible="true"></asp:Label>
</div>

Now edit the Show Product 1 script let and add following code to it at your desired location

Code: Select all

[[ConLib:BackOrderInfo Text="Your Shipping message here"]]
