Jarka")* Hi, that's a good question, we had the same issue. It is possible, but your products have to remain published in order not to get the 404 page. What you can do, is create a new Hikashop Category called "archived" or something and place your products in there. As long as you don't add this category in any product listing, the products will not be visible to visitors of your webshop, but the product will still be accessible if someone clicks on an old link to it from a search engine for example. The easiest way not to have an add to cart button is to simply set your product quantities to 0, otherwise you could make a view override not to show the button for all products in this category but that is more complicated. Hope that helps!

Jarka")* Thank you very much for your advice. The extra category for archived items is a good idea. I use a small "hack" for inventory - in order to know the amount of sold out items, I added 1000 to quantity of all products. This way, if it says 1005, I know I have 5 available. And if the quantity reaches 1000 or less, I have mass action set up to unpublish the item. Instead of unpublishing I could replace current category (or categories) assigned to product to "Archived". Now, the question is: what and where should I change if I want to hide add to cart button if the quantity is 1000 or less? OR How to hide the add to cart button for all products in this category? When the product is available again, do I have to manually add the original categories again and remove it from "archived" category? Is there some way to use mass actions for this? And what about variants? As far as I know, variants do not have categories assigned. Last edit: 9 years 5 months ago by [montemama](/forum/user/43131-montemama "View montemama's Profile").

Jarka")* Hi, You could change your mass action to instead update the product_sale_end value of the product to {time} That would also remove the add to cart button while still allowing the display of the product page. And you could use another mass action to empty that product_sale_end value when the stock goes above 1000. That way, the system would be automated.

One more question - when I try to search for unavailable hidden product, I can find it when I use Joomla search module, but Hikashop filter doesn´t find it. Is it a purpose or not?

Jarka")* Hello, The Search plugin for HikaShop products do not have specific filters for the categories ; so it can find products which are "hidden". The filter system is something which interact with the product listing ; so if a product is not visible in the listing, the filter won't make it appear.

I know how to add custom field, but this requires probably some coding in product / listing.php view, right? In fact, I do not need to have here the complete time stamp, just want to know, if the field is empty or not - to know if the product is visible in frontpage or not.
