This solution works we me now but is not nice comparing $ignore.

public function quantity_input_args( $args, $product ) {
if ( ‘quantity’ === $args[ ‘input_name’ ] ) {
$ignore = false;
} else {
// Ignore users quantity when looking at pages like the shopping cart
$ignore = true;
}
if ( $product->sold_individually ) {
$args[ ‘max_value’ ] = 1;
} else {
$args[ ‘max_value’ ] = $this->get_virtual_stock_available( $product, $ignore );
}
return $args;
}

Hi James,

Not very nice, but do not know how to make it proper.
I added some extra line in the function to look for product backorder notification.
If found then skip error message.
Then backorder products are excluded from availablity check and stock reducer.

Kind regards,
Ton

public function add_cart_validation( $valid, $product_id, $quantity, $variation_id = null, $variations = array() ) {

$hostname = ” “;
$username = ” “;
$password = ” “;
$database = ” “;

// connection
$conn = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $database);

if ( $this->item_managing_stock( $product_id, $variation_id ) ) {
$available = $this->get_stock_available( $product_id, $variation_id );

$results = “SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = ‘$product_id’ and meta_key = ‘_backorders’ and meta_value = ‘notify'”;
$backorder = $conn->query($results);

if ( $q = $backorders->num_rows = 0 ) {
if ( $available < $quantity ) {
wc_add_notice( __( ‘Dit artikel en/of maat is niet meer beschikbaar’, ‘woocommerce-cart-stock-reducer’ ), ‘error’ );
$valid = false;
}
}
}
return $valid;

Hi James,

Yes, we use this for clothing products we don’t have on stock, but purchase this customer specific.
So stock level is switched on and backorder order enabled.

It would be a great plus if this is supported by your plugin.

Hi James,

You are right. It is working for variable products.
Only not working for product weith setting “Allow backorders” .
With this setting it should be possible to sell the product.
But with this add-on this is not possible.

Kind regards,
