Showing live stock levels

I have now tested the code for showing live stock levels on V7, V8 and V9 and will soon package it up for download. It will be available as an 'add-on' to the standard ActiveStock package. It will simply be provided as a zip file containing a perl file, a javascript file and some detailed instructions. The changes requred within the Actinic templates are minimal, but there are a lot of options for how you use the javascript. You may want to show stock levels or stock 'status' (e.g. 'Limited Availability' when stock<5), or you might only want to remove the 'Add to Basket' button when a product goes out of stock and not show stock levels at all. With a little bit of javascript knowledge, all these options (and many more!) can be implemented. Of course, I'll offer help where I can with requests about making it work to your requirements.

Check back soon to see when it has been released!
