bricksnmortar Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I can see you can disable a product if it gets discontinued by a supplier, but can't see either in the back end or in the API where you can disable a variant such as a color eg if a supplier stops making the light blue one? Every cart I've ever worked with does this, if prestashop can't, please let there at least be a module? <insert prayer> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricksnmortar Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 wow, ok I'm guessing from the silence that you can't. What an oversight. What do people do when an option is discontinued, disable the whole product, then re-create a new one, all with the same barcodes? Only alternative I guess is to completely delete that option, but then I suppose you lose sales data. Messy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulito Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hello Why not go to your Product and Edit the Colour in the "Combinations" tab http://screencast.com/t/DBLpvm2ML http://screencast.com/t/RImNTgePQ Before http://screencast.com/t/VpPqy42Y8 After http://screencast.com/t/lf1I1RDEpnH or am I barking up the wrong tree Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricksnmortar Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Paul, thanks for the reply. I see that deleting the variant is an option, but (I'm guessing) that would delete the data for reporting purposes from the database (also if at some stage in the future you want to relist that color you have to re-enter it)?

bricksnmortar Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) thanks to Chris Fotiou for pointing this module out called "Activate/Deactivate a combination" from 202ecommerce as probably the best solution http://addons.prestashop.com/en/content-management/17711-activate-deactivate-a-combination.html Edited November 3, 2014 by bricksnmortar (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
