unpublish products with variants with zero stock

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.
As you said, something has been changed regarding the variants in the mass actions, but not what you need.

It is still on our TODO list.

Hello Xavier,
Just to let me know.
Did you manage add this to the last update?
Or is there perhaps another way to coop with this?
Regards

Hi,

Not yet managed in the mass actions.
If you have PHP and MySQL knowledges, you can potentially make a plugin to get all the products where the variants have no stock.
Here is some documentation to create a mass action plugin:

Hi Xavier,
Thank for answering.
creating a plugin is rather a bridge to far for me.
I'd hoped it would be available on short term.
I will fix it with my POS system. The same as my stock.

Hikashop 2.6.4
Joomla 3.6.4

So I am going to start selling clothes in my store.
And since clothes come in different sizes I will need many products with variants.

Anyway, I want the main product to be automatically unpublished when all the variants (I.e Small, meidum, large, X-large) have reached Stock quantiy 0.

Is this possible ?

Then in would be much easier for me to delete it from the back-end afterwards.

Since the clothes are unique and when its sold out it does not come in the store again.

OK tnx for reply.
This sounds good.

But to make it even easier; Is it possible tweak the code so that the sum of the quantity variants is the one that display in the back-end products listing ? (without setting any sum in the quantity field of the main product)

See attached image to see where I mean.

We have created a batch in our POS system.
Which checks the stock on parent products and their child in our maintenance system.
If there is zero stock on all.
It set the publised from 1 to 0
That way it is not visible.
It makes it also easier to delete on the hika database.

Issue is still on how to deal on NOOS product.
Also this is set in the POS system.
These product are overuled.

I hope this also give you some ideas how to maintain your webshop
