Magento 2 Custom Stock Status Custom Development
How to change the stock status on Magento 2 based on custom options#
The Task#
The task is to change the stock status on the product view page based on a seperate backend attribute.
Magento 1 code#
In the file: app/designfrontend/default/{theme}/template/catalog/product/view/type/default.phtml
The code for doing this in magento 1 is:
<?php
$_product = $this->getProduct();
$qty = $_product->getStockItem()->getQty();
$qty_txt = round($qty);
$normally_instock = $_product->getData('normally_instock');
?>
<?php /* @var $this Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Abstract */?>
available + qty > 0:
in stock
available + qty < 1 + normally in stock
warehouse
available + qty < 1
backordered
not available
temporarily not available
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_type_data_extra') ?>
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product) ?>
The solution#
First thing to do is check where in the template is the stock indicator by showing template hints.
The template is /vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/view/type/default.phtml
and the block class is: Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Type\Simple\Interceptor for simple products
But there is a snare, the template for bundle products is /var/www/shootingstuff/project/vendor/magento/module-bundle/view/frontend/templates/catalog/product/view/type/bundle.phtml and the block is Magento\Bundle\Block\Catalog\Product\View\Type\Bundle\Interceptor
The incorrect way: Overriding core template files#
So we found the string In Stock in app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/view/type/default.phtml. So changing stuff in this file only changes simple products.
For Downloadable you have to check: Magento/Downloadable/view/frontend/templates/catalog/product/type.phtml
For Grouped products: Magento/GrouperProduct/view/frontend/templates/product/view/type/default.phtml
For Bundled products:
Magento/Bundle/view/frontend/templates/catalog/product/view/type/bundle.phtml
and the summary.html file.
So it is in alot of places…
Flippit.
The JS option#
This is probably the best way to do it.
Correct way is using dependency injection#
