e-junkie custom script

as they don't provide a sold out feature then you should do that using a custom script

this script will read a saved number (inventory level ) and before showing the buy now link it makes that the inventory has data

making things simple ,

you should replace the buy now button code on your site with and iframe that is calling to a pipeline that will allow to show the buy now code or either the sold out message

fast code

you will place this iframe instead of buy now button

<iframe src="http://example.com/pipeline.php"></iframe>

then on the pipeline.php file you will write the code


<?php
$invent_level=file_get_contents('inventory.txt');

if ($invent_level > 0){
?>

//here you paste html buy now button


<?php
}else {
?>

//here you paste your sold out html message

<?php
}
?>


on the other side once a successfull sale is made you need to call the inventory decrementing script

call it like decrementer.php

<?php

$level=file_get_contents('inventory.txt');

//decrement
$level=$level - 1 ;

//updating
file_put_contents('inventory.txt',$level)

?>

so call the previous file on iframe also inserted on the thank you page for the sales

hope that helps
