I manually maintain items which will be available for backorder, these qualifying items will manually have their quantity set to -1 , this enables the buy button.
This is easy to maintain at the time of placing a stock order with the suppliers, Once the order is placed I change the quantity to -1 and set the order date in the models extra field.
When stock arrives I simply enter the number available - backorders into the quantity field and hey presto we are back to managed stock mode.
When the items are not available I simply set the quantity to 0.
I like where you are going with this. I'd like to implement the same thing...but I can't get past how to display the purchase button when the qty is zero. How did you accomplish this?The Buy button works without modification....
