Prestashop Core Application V1.5

I was disappointed to find that this feature was not implemented after spending time developing a shop. We really need this feature as our shop has a large number of low volume products that frequently go out of stock. At any one time there can be over 50% of products out of stock giving a bad impression to customers.

The ideal solution for us would be to hide all references and links from the website to the out of stock product page but to keep the product page as an isolated page. This way the page would retain any accumulated page rank and position in the search engines.

Hope this can be resolved soon, thanks.

I must say that this is an major weakness in Prestashop. The ability to automatically disable and not to show out-of-stock products is essential in many buisness-models. I have looked att 5-6 other e-commerce systems and Prestashop is the ONLY one that dont have this feature. This have been a highly requested feature for years on the Prestashop community, but Presta-team have not yet reacted, why......?

Any news about this development?

When it is possible for outsold product attribute, so why not for whole product???

This is an important feature to several stores I am setting up.

you can add this feature by a simple line in your own theme. for exemple in product-list.tpl you can add a simple condition in the loop: {if ($product.allow_oosp || $product.quantity > 0)} ...
you can do the same for search results etc...

This feature should be an option in settings and should not rely on editing the template. Prestashops appeal is how easy it is to use.

Thanks for the pointers but this should definately be an option in the Back Office

I have the same issue but am not a developer. Johan can you tell me what I would need to add to the loop please? I've found the file and the condition loop but no idea what to put in it.

Thanks in advance!

im agree wiht you shoulders, it's just a simple tip to help for people who are blocked with this feature.
James i reply to you by email.

This is very annoying problem.

Maciej, If you have lots of products you can use the Wasato module. I now use it to import information from my suppliers, it update the database and disables any products that are out of stock automatically.
You have to buy a licence for it though. http://www.wasato.net/providers-connector/wdaily.html

Good luck
