Add stock filter to category view

[sandomatyas]

When I open a category page I can filter for manufacturer and set the ordering. Is there a method to add a new filter which shows the products currenty in stock? I'm sure it could be done with modifying the model but I was wondering if there is an other solution for that?

Hi

There is a stock filter in Custom Filters, if you are interested.

Yes I know but how do you integrate it to the category layout? It has an own result page and category page has manufacturer filtering, ordering, pagination, nice url etc

I did it this way for a client that didn't want to modify any core and had only a few products..

In the display loop test for in stock and apply a class to the product display.
Then a bit of js and a form to show/hide that class with a hide out of stock button

the site didn't have many products and this method of course buggers up the pagination if used

I don't understand.
Do you tried modul CFiltering == do you know demo an documentation or not?

Look at this:

Modul CF is above VM category and yes, checkbox for product in stock (Skladem) is created by custom develop

You can custom develop for core VM too, without CF, but I think is harder and why?

[sandomatyas]

yes, I use CF Filter for years, moreover I have some custom modified instances since breakdesigns isn't interested in some changes we need

I like your shop and template, it realy inspired me in my next projects

You use cf filter as a module (same way as we use it), but the customer asked to add as buttons next to the manufaturer filter, something like this: https://snipboard.io/dih5Rn.jpg
Sure, I can embed a module there, so I was just wondering if the webshop component allready has ability to show only the stocked products.
So far I see VirtueMart can't do it without 3rd party extension. No problem, just try to use core methods if it is available.

You have this trigger in product model
      if ($this->searchplugin !== 0) {
         JPluginHelper::importPlugin('vmcustom');
         $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
         $dispatcher->trigger('plgVmBeforeProductSearch', array(&$select, &$joinedTables, &$where, &$groupBy, &$orderBy,&$joinLang));
      }
searchplugin is set using
$this->searchplugin = vRequest::getInt ('custom_parent_id', 0);
But in wonder why ?
If the team remove the need of custom_parent_id, you can then set yourself the search query in the core
The only problem is that the $group is not send to the plugin. So the trigger sould have this parameter to know the context
$dispatcher->trigger('plgVmBeforeProductSearch', array(&$select, &$joinedTables, &$where, &$groupBy, &$orderBy,&$joinLang,$group));

Hi
I noticed you have SEF urls for CF Filter results

I've asked for this maybe a year or two back from breakdesigns but there was no core solution for that. Do you have a hint maybe how it could be done? Also like your dropdown/kind of megamenu solution for the parameters
