I am not a "coder" so I'm interested whether somebody has just realised an "upcoming products" module. I wil have need for...
Presta 1.4.5.1/1.4.6.2/1.4.7 (German lang as default and unique), host on Apache, PHP 5.3.8 and MySQL 5.0.51
PrestaGate 1.2 (German), Store Manager for Prestashop from Magnetic One.Tester for latest Versions and SVN's.

I think that, since the products won't actually be in your product database, you might want to just have it in your Editorial page.
Use the "Home text editor" module for that.

Hi,
this is also a possibility, but not what I want. At the moment I'm using another e-commerce-software, which will be replaced by presta. My question for this module is for: I receive from my supplier csv-sheet for all products which are not available at the moment and will be avaliable in the future, i.e. sheet with delivery times. I import this data into my shop-system and these products display than: available from xx.xx.xxxx on. Also you cannot put them into basket, so they are not purchaseable till the date named there. I will need this automatism, another way, like you named, ist to complicated for manipulation (different dates, hugh quantity of articles...)

I would suggest contacting the author of this module:
http://www.prestasto...efeatured2.html

He may be able to add another tab called Upcoming products.
It would likely entail adding another table to the database to hold your upcoming
products or at least a flag in the ps_products table that thee product was upcoming
and not sellable.

I would say you want:

Import your CSV from your supplier
Products are put on Out of stock till the date its availible
The Out of Stock text will be changed to eg. "Availible on 05/08/2010"
Cannot be added to cart is also a setting in prestashop.

But all this must be done automaticly for all products right?

hi, yes this was also the possibility I found, but when the date comes, I have to change all again. I will need a tool which manage dates and do this by itself... do you know anything similar ?
