Product pricing and inventory: »Enabled« checkbox has no effect

[Jan Fromm]

@kongondo No big deal, just FYI: Found out that the checkbox »Enabled« (If unchecked, customers will not be able to buy this product.) on shop/products/edit has no impact at all. You can buy this product, no matter if checked or not.

Thanks for reporting. I'll look into it.

Hi @Jan Fromm,

This has now been fixed. Products or variants that are not enabled for selling cannot be added to the basket. However, please note that since Padloper does not involve itself with the frontend display of products, developers will need to exclude such non-enabled products from frontend display, if they wish to. For instance:

<?php
// please note the below will also find parent product of variants!
// FIND non-enabled products and variants
$nonEnabledProductsAndVariants = $padloper->find("template=product|variant,stock.enabled=0");
// FIND enabled products and variants
$enabledProductsAndVariants = $padloper->find("template=product|variant,stock.enabled=1");

I also fixed a bug that allowed out-of-stock items to be added to the basket/cart. Please note that out-of-stock is only applicable to products/variants that track their inventory (Product Settings Tab) AND that don't allow overselling/backorders.

Hi @kongondo,

I have just tested this with the latest update. I can still add non-enabled products to the cart and order them.

Hi @Jan Fromm,

Apologies, I botched the build. This has now been fixed. I'll be implementing a better versioning system to avoid things like this.

Please download and test again.

Thanks.

No worries – works perfectly now. Thanks!

One more thing – What happens now is when you enable variants, the product gets disabled.

1) Content tab: Check enabled -> Save
2) Settings: Enable Product Variants: Yes -> Save
3) Content tab: Checkbox disappeared
4) Settings: Enable Enable Product Variants: No -> Save
5) Content tab: Checkbox re-appeared, but is unchecked

Hi @Jan Fromm,

That is the expected behaviour because variants are products in themselves. So, if you enable variants, it means you will in effect have several products (the variants) that can be enabled independently of each other. At this point, the main product's enabled status does not come into play. However, other shared fields are still relevant, e.g. properties, tax, etc. Hope this makes sense.
