Hide out of stock products

Question

I want to hide out of stock products from showing in search or category pages and I do not want to use the built in feature:

Admin >> System >> Configuration >> Catalog >> Inventory >> Stock Options
Display Out of Stock product -> No

The reason is that I use and sort out of stock products and if I disable them completely I can't filter by Stock status.

How do I put a filter on the category and search collection?

Answer 1

I have done it and I know it will help a lot of people so this is what I did to achieve this:

Firstly you need to modify the collection which is loaded in:

app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\List.php

You're best making a local copy and editing that:

app\code\local\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\List.php

Find this line:

$this->_productCollection = $layer->getProductCollection();

Directly under it place this code:

$in_Collection = Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')
            ->getCollection()
            ->addFieldToFilter('is_in_stock',1);

$in_Products = array();
foreach($in_Collection as $_collection) {
        $in_Products[] = $_collection->getProductId();
}

$this->_productCollection->addAttributeToSelect('*')
                         ->addAttributeToFilter('entity_id', array('in'=>$in_Products));

I hope this helps :)

@Mike Tim Turner any idea how to get your solution to work in Magento 2.4.2?

Answer 3

you can put a if condition in your list.phtml file

start the condition before li tag

<ol class="products-list" id="products-list">
    <?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
        <?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>  <!-- Added condition here -->
        <li class="item<?php if( ++$_iterator == sizeof($_productCollection) ): ?> last<?php endif; ?>">

and then close this condition after li tag

      </li>
     <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ol>
