TIP: how to disable out of stock products

[anabreu]

Some of you might wonder how to make out of stock products not showing up for users.

I know I did.

You have to edit your product-list.tpl file

After this piece of code

{foreach from=$products item=product name=products}

Add this

{if ($product.allow_oosp OR $product.quantity > 0)}

and in the bottom of the document, before this

{/foreach}

write this

{/if}

Voilá! Now your users will only see listed products that you have in stock!!

You can also disable stock gestion in admin

...not really, at least not in this latest version of Prestashop... you can only turn off product attributes, wich is not the same (if you have a product with stock = 0, it will still be listed in the frontoffice, unless you edit the product-list.tpl file like explained in the original post of this thread).

Thanks anabreu,

This little hack will come in handy. I was just thinking about this today. Seems like to should be a standard feature like the ability to turn off attributes. Would save some frustration on the buyers part if the product shows but is not able to be added to the cart.

I'll give it a try soon.
