Need a "... the deal is on ... " signal in LIST VIEW

Has someone an idea or something similar up- and running? The issue: So and so many buyers are forming a contingent on a min. order quantity based on certain special price. Example: Min. quantity is 500, but only 498 had been booking, so NO "... the deal is on ..." signal could/should be displayed in LIST VIEW at all as the criteria of the deal is not fulfilled, hence none of the clients is getting disappointed by non-delivery at all, unless they don't really know of what a Groupon.com marketing philosophy is all about. Suggestions, tipps, tricks, hints, workarounds welcome!

I think you can get away with 'Insert PHP code snippet' function that runs a SQL query (select count(*) from Table where dealid=...) and displays something once number of committed users reaches a certain point (could be a number in Deals table specific to the current deal).

Aloha Sergey,

many thanks for this very useful hint on the issue. Groupon.com mailed me a ticket number on my issue, then silence, hence this topic. Things at hand to get marketed within the US are solar powered trash bin compactors for both, public and private use, where the hurdle of 500 pieces as min. quantity per larger city/local government area is going to be walk2flown over with ease, thanks to PHPRunner. While http://bigbellysolar.com/the-city-of-philadelphia talks facts while my competition product seems to me to double saving factors mentioned. Anyway, the best way out here seems to simply pay ou an hourly service charge here to inject the snippet plus maybe allowance of a banner on top with e.g. slogan "PHP Runner - The best RAD tool ever ..." and to drop the web app under Inspirunner.com to let all signaled profits be roofed under one contact's reply. Shall keep you posted by PM early net week. Stay tuned ..., best walk2fly
