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

  • System-configuration-catalog there will be settings to enable flat catalog. If enabled you need to reindex for any product changes to become active in front-end. Possible this is why you are not getting the changes.

As far as I know, until 1.7.0.2 magento doesn't change the inventory status of a configurable product. I think it is the same with the grouped product. I thought that was fixed on the bugathon2013 but I can't find a pull request with this issue.

If in the inventory settings Manage Stock is No it is always available. If it is Yes it depends on Stock Availability.
