Show only products in stock

[brownd92]

Hi there,

Is there any way of only showing products in stock?

 

Thanks

by default it isn't. all that you are able to do is to change controllers (to select products only in stock)

or aply some triggers (disable out of stock product mysql trigger) or use some module automatically hide oos products http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/269988-module-automatically-hide-out-of-stock-products-v14-15/

This question was asked so many times and no one offered a solution so here is a basic simple one that i think works fine with 1.6 :

 

P.S : This solution doesnt work With products randomized

Step 1 : go to Modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php  -  Look for  : 

 

if (Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_RANDOMIZE'))

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), null, null, false, true, true, ($nb ? $nb : 8));

else

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position');

}

 

Replace with : 

 

if (Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_RANDOMIZE'))

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'quantity', 'DESC', false, true, true, ($nb ? $nb : 8));

else

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'quantity','DESC');

}

 

 

Step 2 : Go to Product-list.tpl  - At the end of the <li class="ajax_block_product..............  before you close the li add this code : style="{if $page_name=='index' && $product.quantity < 1 }display:none{/if}"

 

Ex : <li class="ajax_block_product.LONGBLALALALALA" style="{if $page_name=='index' && $product.quantity < 1 }display:none{/if}">

 

 

And Voila ! you'll get Only in stock products in home featured

 

 

 

EXTRA : 

 

 

Basicaly what it does is show product list ordered by Quantity

so it first shows Products that are in stock and at the end it adds the products that arent . And all i do is hide these products at the end and it doesnt not affect the order of products nor the Css style...

 

 

 

EXTRA 2 : 

 

If you want to do the same thing on Category pages all you have to do is  :

 

STEP 3 : go to controllers/front/CategoryController.php  -  Look for  :

 

if (!$hookExecuted)

{

$this->context->smarty->assign('categoryNameComplement', '');

$this->nbProducts = $this->category->getProducts(null, null, null, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay, true);

$this->pagination((int)$this->nbProducts); // Pagination must be call after "getProducts"

$this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);

}

 

 

Replace with : 

 

if (!$hookExecuted)

{

$this->context->smarty->assign('categoryNameComplement', '');

$this->nbProducts = $this->category->getProducts(null, null, null, 'quantity', 'DESC', true);

$this->pagination((int)$this->nbProducts); // Pagination must be call after "getProducts"

$this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, 'quantity', 'DESC');

}

 

REPLACE STEP 2 WITH THIS ONE  :  Go to Product-list.tpl  - At the end of the <li class="ajax_block_product..............  before you close the li add this code : style="{if $product.quantity < 1 }display:none{/if}"

 

Ex : <li class="ajax_block_product.LONGBLALALALALA" style="{if $page_name=='index' && $product.quantity < 1 }display:none{/if}">

 

 

AND VOILA 2

 

 

 

 

forgive my english hope this helps

In \classes\Category.php change

WHERE product_shop.`id_shop` = '.(int)$context->shop->id.'

to

WHERE stock.`quantity` > 0 AND product_shop.`id_shop` = '.(int)$context->shop->id.'

anyone reading this should consider the seo implications which I suppose are only relevant if the product never comes back into stock.  if it does then what are the implications?

anyone can write a hack/module to do 'something' but that does not mean it's always a good idea.

happy selling

Our test of 6 months showed that the 90-99% of on-line buyer wants only products ready on stock, so showing products with no stock is only counterproductive.

well granted we don't want to be shown 'out of stock' products unless it supports capability to notify us but if you have products that come and go out of stock what then is your  answer on hiding temporarily out of stock item and organic seo.

again it's easy to blanket justify to do something but I challenge that it's not a good idea unless that product has 1) really long restock delay 2) is never going to be sold again, in either case the 404 should be handled elegant.

There is difference between low end shops that implement something that 'can be done' but is not always perfectly thought out.
