in the setup of magento i have i have set backorders to be on but i only needed them on so that out of stock items could be added to the cart from an order editor
i've been making changes to magento so that insted of checking if a product is in stock or not it's checking if the qty if 0 as that is a clear sign that a product is out of stock in my setup
in Mage_Catalog_Model_Product
i have changed isSalable
to false
and while every item that i go into says it's out of stock, they still show up in the catalog and when i do a search
so how does magento check if a configure/grouped product is out of stock in the catalog/search cause it's obviously not from using isSalable
