Explain "quantity" number with added text?

[petrea]

Hi y'all ... this is a first communication with this wonderful forum!

I have struggled and solved many modifications thanks to y'all and what you've posted here.

I have, however, failed to find a word on what seems should be an easy mod:

how can I add a description to the Quantity value in the Product Listing?

e.g., "Quantity:" n
or n "items remaining"

where n is the number supplied by turning the Display Quantity flag to 1 in the Admin control.

I would appreciate as little as a point in the right direction; I have spent the entire day going through every single PHP file looking for something that would allow this little add.

Thanks bunches in advance

I do not quite understand what it is exactly that your asking. If you could elaborate maybe i could be of some help.

Hi ... and apologies for not being clear! (But thanks so much for replying!)

OK, I have set

Admin/Configuration/Product Listing/Display Product Quantity

to display quantity available - which OSC does like a champ!

The problem is, the raw number is all that a customer sees. I'd like to concat that with a phrase like "Quantity Available:" so that it isn't so cryptic.

I would like you to take a look at any catalog listing on my site, if you would be so kind. I believe that will show this most clearly:

I appreciate the help immensely, and I look forward to your reply,

P.S. I've just made zero-quantity items active, and I don't find any "out of stock" messages Maybe you might know how to straighten that out too?
Oh, also: I actually have MS2-MAX, hosted by others...
