Display message when "Continue selling when out of stock" is checked and inventory is <= 0

[jnlong]

I'm trying to display a message on my product page that says, "Available on backorder" for items that have "Continue selling when out of stock" is checked in admin, and inventory is equal to or less than 0. I'm using the Debut theme.

I got it to work by adding the following code to the product-template.liquid file:

<div class="productStatus">
   {% if current_variant.available and current_variant.inventory_quantity > 0 %}
      <span class="statusAvailable">Available</span>
   {% endif %}
   {% if current_variant.available and current_variant.inventory_quantity <= 0 %}
      <span class="statusBackorder">Available on backorder. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery</span>
   {% endif %}
</div>

Where did you enter this in the code?

[jnlong]

You can enter this code wherever you want it to display on your product page. I placed it just below the product name as shown here.

<div class="productStatus">
   {% if current_variant.available and current_variant.inventory_quantity > 0 %}
      <span class="statusAvailable">Available</span>
   {% endif %}
   {% if current_variant.available and current_variant.inventory_quantity <= 0 %}
      <span class="statusBackorder">Available on backorder. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery</span>
   {% endif %}
</div>

it works with products which dont have variants. For variants products it do not update the text

Do you know if this could be done in the new theme of Shopify? I believe it is called "Dawn", or something like that

Is there a way to get this to work with variants?
