Start & End Sale Date

Start and End Sale Dates on each product seem like a very good way to manage these items in the system that we have. I read the documentation and it sounds like the products still show up but if someone tries to order them they just get a message that they can't be ordered now (if not within the sale dates).

Is there a way to make it so the items are hidden instead? So people won't see the items until they are on sale?

hey, thanks so much for your efforts on this. I realize how helpful you are being on this.
Installed the plugin, I enabled it, it gives this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JDatabaseMySQL::isAdmin() in /home/tfcmain/public_html/copy/plugins/hikashop/hide_products.php on line 10

Maybe this matters: we are on Joomla 1.5.23 and Hikashop Business 1.5.3

Thank you.

I know this topic is old, but I really need this plugin.

Maybe it is because of the hikashop version (I use the last one), but the plugin doesn't works fine : when I enable it, the product with an old end sale date disappears from the site (front and back). In front it is perfect, but not in backoffice.

If I disable the plugin, I can see the product. So, there are 'just' hidden when the plugin is enabled. But it would be much better if the plugin hide them in front, but not in backoffice. (it would be perfect if the plugin can unpublised these products...)

En front il n'y a pas de soucis, les produits plus en vente sont bien "cachés", mais ils sont cachés en backoffice aussi. Ce qui est assez ennuyant tout de même.
Ils ne sont pas supprimés, puisque si je désactive le plugin les produits réapparaissent, et en front et en back.

Je viens de vérifier le contenu du plugin et si l'interface est backend alors, le plugin n'effectue aucune modification du listing de produits.
Toutefois vous pouvez l'éditer afin de changer son comportement, pour qu'il change le status des produits qui ne sont pas dans les dates de vente en désactivé.

Pouvez vous coller les lignes présentes dans la fonction "onBeforeProductListingLoad()" de ce plugin ?

Voilà pour le code du plugin :

function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters){
    	$app =& Jfactory::getDBO();
    	if($app->isAdmin()) return;
		$filters[]='b.product_sale_start<'.time();
		$filters[]='(b.product_sale_end=0 OR b.product_sale_end>'.time().')';
    }

Merci de remplacer "$app =& Jfactory::getDBO();" par "$app =& Jfactory::getApplication();".

Super, merci !

You guys should make this a standard plugin that you ship. We have been using a hacky workaround for years.

So, we have been using this and it works pretty well. The problem is that it hides the product on both the front end and back end. So, when we set the start date to the future, the product disappears and we can't edit it again until after the start date. Can this be corrected?

I see in the code that it attempts to return if the use is admin

if($app->isAdmin()) return;

but this doesn't seem to work. We are still on hika 2.0

Thanks

Hi,

I just checked the plugin code, and that should work fine. Are you sure that you don't have an old override or edition present in your code ?

Yes, I am sure. To double-check, I setup a test installation

• latest version of joomla
• hika business 2.0
• hide products plug in

The fix is pretty simple. In the version of the plugin I had the code looked like this

$app =& Jfactory::getDBO();
if($app->isAdmin()) return;

I changed this to

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
if($app->isAdmin()) return;

And it started working correctly.

There are two attachments on this thread. Somehow I ended up with the first. Kind of my mistake. I suggest deleting the first one and make renaming the second one to hide_product.zip. Maybe that is how I ended up with the bad code. The good code has a bad zip name

Is the plugin file in this post also compatible / ready for Joomla 4 and 5?
