Setting allow to order when out of stock for every particular product combination

[roscibaldi]

Hi

I'm new to prestashop and have only the very basic knowledge of PHP. I use Prestashop 1.4.8.3

 

I wonder if it's a very difficult task to change the code, so that I could set the "allow to order when out of stock" option for every single product attributes combination, not the whole product?

 

For example there could be a checkbox for every attributes combination in BO to set allow_oosp.

 

Or maybe is there any module for that?

Anyone on this?

Actually, I managed to do that somehow. You can see the result for example here: http://bikefun.pl/gorskie/740170-kross-hexagon-x1-2014.html. 

 

I created new column "is_available" in the product_attributes table in the db.

Based on what number is in that column the combination can have statements like "shipping 1-2 days" or "shipping 3-5 days", defined in the template files. So inside one product I can have combinations available in store (shipping 24h), fully unavailable and available (but with quantity = 0) with shipping like 1-2 days or 3-5 days.

 

Actually, it did require not that much edits in a few classes, controllers and admin tabs. 

 

In fact, I did it in three steps:

1. Creating that mentioned column in product_attributes table and some interface to change the proper value in the combination tab.

2. Based on the value in that column displaying the add2cart button or not for particular combination - changes in template, controllers and classes.

3. Changing the rules for validating the cart and order, so that it wasn't complaining the product is out of stock or the quantity is not enough (I don't know what's the exact English message).

 

For someone experienced in PHP this should be a piece of cake, however, the update of prestashop would now be problematic, at least after the changes in a manner I did... I decided to stick for some time to the presta version I currently have.

 

Now I'm going to display those availability statuses in the product lines in the cart (I've got now blank place - doesn't look good) and below the products summary to display the estimated shipping date.

I too, managed to find a solution for this, but its really not a low hanging fruit. If youd like to see how I did it, send me a PM and ask for it, and I will share when I have time for it

I know this is an older post. But anyone managed to solve it or develop a module for it? Would be much appreciated.
