Hi,
Firstly - Love Magento!!
I need products to show all applicable configurable options (including out of stock options) - but make out of stock options disabled.
So that the dropdown box shows all options - but the user is unable to select the associated out of stock products.
I can see the options are populated with JSON collection, but have got lost in finding where this list is populated.
Any help in this matter would be very gratefully received!
Matt

hey Matt, by default does it remove it from the drop down if out of stock?
Do you have to make the parent configurable product “in stock”?
I am trying to get the hang of this as well

This is something I have been banging for months. Why does Magento doesn’t allow us to select if we want to make visible products out of stock in configurable products. It’s illogical because Simples products remain on sight when they reach qty = 0, why doesn’t the options of configurable products?
The main problem with this is that we will keep customers asking us through e-mail and phone if we do have (or use to have) a size that isn’t displayed.

Finally I found an approach to solve this issue… you have to rewrite the getAllowedProducs() function in Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable. It’s responsible for filtering unavailable products out of the assigned simple product options.
Rewrite
public function getAllowProducts()
{
if (!$this->hasAllowProducts()) {
$products = array();
$allProducts = $this->getProduct()->getTypeInstance()->getUsedProducts();
foreach ($allProducts as $product) {
if ($product->isSaleable()) {
$products[] = $product;
}
}
$this->setAllowProducts($products);
}
return $this->getData('allow_products');
}
with
public function getAllowProducts() {
$allProducts = $this->getProduct()->getTypeInstance()->getUsedProducts();
$this->setAllowProducts($allProducts);
return $this->getData('allow_products');
}
and all product options are displayed in options dropdown. From this point you can add your own functions to mark the unavailable options…
hope this helps a bit

Well, that’s a start!
Now we just have to find the constructor of the selection box and tell it that the nonSaleable products of the whole “apparentlySaleable” product collection remain gray.

I had to do something similar… the unavailable products should be highlighted in grey.
I wrote a function wich filtered the unavailable products and collected the ids of the configurable attribute (wich is the option value), passed them to javascript via json and changed the style (background color) of the appropriate options. Or you could disable the unavailable options so that they are visible but not selectable…

@nyah: Would you be kind enough to post your solution? I would like sold out options to be marked in gray. It would really reduce the number of phone calls we receive.

Has anyone been able to get this working so that it will show the items but as a disabled drop-down option? I can get Magento to show them all, but not sure where to add the disabled code to the drop down menu.

Hello Guys,
My Custom Stock Status extension does this a bit differently - it displays the out of stock option and allows to select it, however hides the add to cart button. You can also display custom stock status for each option (e.g. will be in 3 days, expected soon, etc.), more info available here:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/2386/custom-stock-status
Do you think it could work for you?

nyah - 28 November 2008 01:17 AM any new information on this issue?
I need to show the options the same way m4tthewdixon does…
Could my extension work for you or is it mandatory for the out of stock options to be unselectable? Trying to get improvement ideas:).
