Hide "out of stock products" for certain modules/hook and show next available products

[Mian Waqas]

Hi,

This is just for information for anyone looking for this kind of change.

If you have visibility of "Out of stock products" active in PS, and you want to hide the "out of stock products" in certain modules/hooks 

you can simply edit the tpl file of that module/hook like below.

for example if you want to hide the out of stock products for "ps_categoryproducts" module edit > /modules/ps_categoryproducts/views/templates/hook/ps_categoryproducts.tpl  file

change this line 

 {foreach from=$products item="product"}
          {include file="catalog/_partials/miniatures/product.tpl" product=$product}
      {/foreach}

to this

{assign var="displayedProducts" value=0}

{while $displayedProducts < 4}
    {foreach from=$products item="product"}
        {if $product.quantity > 0}
            {include file="catalog/_partials/miniatures/product.tpl" product=$product}
            {assign var="displayedProducts" value=$displayedProducts+1}
        {/if}
        {if $displayedProducts >= 4}
            {break} {/if}
    {/foreach}
{/while}

via this code, it will skip the out of stock product , and will show the next product (will not be empty)

this works with PS 1.8 as well

 

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this helpful information! It seems like you've provided a workaround to hide out-of-stock products in a specific module/hook by modifying the corresponding template (tpl) file. This can be useful for those who want to customize the display of products in certain contexts, especially when dealing with out-of-stock items.

It's important to note that modifying template files directly should be done carefully, and users should be aware of potential impacts on future updates and compatibility. Always make backups before making such changes.

Your contribution may help others looking to achieve similar customizations in PrestaShop. If you have any more tips or insights, feel free to share!

Have a nice day.
