Hello, can some one help with this problem:

 

My client have shop, and for seo need change prestashop to show not active products pages.

you can create custom url with get variable

http://domain.com/categoryPage?showInactive
http://domain.com/category/productPage?showInactive

and then modify the related Controller files

 

For example :

CategoryController.php  - function assignProductList()  - set param $active = false

// set param $active = true
if(Tools::isSubmit('showInactive'))
      $this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay, false, false);
else
      $this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);

 
ProductController.php - function init() - force to set inactive product as active before object validation

if ($id_product = (int)Tools::getValue('id_product'))
  $this->product = new Product($id_product, true, $this->context->language->id, $this->context->shop->id);

// force to set inactive product as active
if(Tools::isSubmit('showInactive'))
    $this->product->active = true;

First very big thx for your answer and your desire to help me!

 

I think this link:

site.com/category/12807-product.html

 

not the same link for seo with that:

site.com/category/12807-product.html?showInactive

 

or im wrong?

 

Or in .htaccess i must do 301 redirect from site.com/category/12807-product.html?showInactive to site.com/category/12807-product.html some how?

 

Just what happen if "search robot" go on site by old link? or customer press that link in search result?
