Disable order for one single product temporary

[Dovoda]

I want to disable the order function of a product temporary.

 

The price is shown, but customers can't order till a time has exceeded.

 

I want to use this for example "the deal of next week" (so people can see the product but cannot order)

 

 

Is there a module or function for this?

Hi,

 

Not sure this is what you look for, but why not simply activate the stock management in the preferences, set quantity to 0 for this product and last but not least, in the product form, select the option "product cannot be ordered when out of stock".

 

One more tips: You can customize, per product the "out of stock" message. So for this product you could display something like "Product not orderable until next week, will be our featured product".

 

If you whish to automatize this, you may try to use the specific prices feature for this purpose:

-Set a specific price for this product, valid until next week. A very high price like 1 000 000 x the real price

-Set another specific price, valid from next week, with the real price value

-From here you need to do a bit of smarty coding in product.tpl file in order that:

if price > 1 000 000, display price/1 000 000 instead of product current price

if price > 1 000 000 set quantity to 0, change out of stock message to whatever marketing message you want.

 

So when the specific price change will occur, the product will become orderable instantly
