ActiveStock test site now open!

You can now see ActiveStock in action on a V8 default site at this URL:

http://activestock.mumstuff.co.uk

This includes the latest addition - ajax code to display real-time stock levels and to replace the Add to Cart button (or, in the case of the Stationery page that runs multiple products with one Add to Cart, the Quantity box) with an Out of Stock message when a product's stock level is reduced to zero.

Please feel free to place orders (I won't be delivering anything or chasing you for payment!!) to see it working.

Since you may be tesing it when I'm not available to refresh stock levels from my PC, I've also added the facility to allow you to replenish stock for yourself. To do this, you should enter a URL similar to the following into your browser:

http://activestock.mumstuff.co.uk/cgi-bin/addstock.pl?ref=ST0001&qty=2

This will add a quantity of 2 to the current stock level for the product ST0001 (product references are displayed on the page for most products). However, please be aware that this may cause some unusual behaviour if other testers are simultaneously placing orders or updating stock! But hopefully it will allow you to give it a thorough try-out.

Please come back here to leave me some feedback, or send me an e-mail!
