Product Mash: How to show different Stock Values (or Stock Levels) in Feeds when using Stock Control Macros

You may want to show different values for your stock levels or different text if in stock from the default Yes and 1 or No and 0.For example, for Amazon Seller Central you may want to always show a stock level of 100 if you have any items in stock and 0 if the item is out of stock.

To show this use the following approach:

1 Open up the registry editor (from the windows start window run regedit.exe)

2 Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mole End\{Actinic Version}\Utilities\{Sitename}. Where {Actinic Version} is your version of Actinic e.g. V8 and {Sitename} is the name of your site, e.g. site1. So an example maybe for a site called site1 for Actinic V9,

�

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mole End\V9\Utilities\Site1

3 Change the following values for your choice of values to use for Stock levels when using the Stock Macros. These will have already been created with their default values.

�

{Feed Type}InStock01-0

The value to use if using the !!InStock01!! macro and the item is not in stock. The default value is 0.

�

{Feed Type}InStock01-1

The value to use if using the !!InStock01!! macro and the item is not in stock. The default value is 0.

�

{Feed Type}InStockYesNo-Yes

The value to use if using the !!InStockYesNo!! macro and the item is in stock. The default value is Yes.

�

{Feed Type}InStockYesNo-No

The value to use if using the !!InStockYesNo!! macro and the item is not in stock. The default value is No.

�

where {Feed Type} is the feed type you are creating feeds for.
Note: change the value is named Seller Central for Amazon Seller Central (and Amazon for Amazon Marketplace).

�

For example, to make the stock level always show 5 if the item is in stock (whether using stock control or not) amend the value Seller CentralInStock01-1 and change to 5 (from the default 1).
