Is there a way in disabling a product by checking its custom attribute?
example scenario: 'date_expiration' if date_expiration < today the product status will be disabled.
I have tried creating a custom front_end template for Magento_Catalog, that checks attribute date_expiration when expiration met it will redirect to homepage. I know this is not good solution because it will appear on catalog list.
You can write a event for this in your module config.xml :
<frontend>
<event>
<catalog_product_is_salable_after>
<observer>
<any_name>
<class>yourmodule/observer</class>
<method>yourMethodName</method>
</any_name>
</observer>
</catalog_product_is_salable_after>
</event>
</frontend>
and in module observer file you have to write your method
public function yourMethodName($observer)
{
$product = $observer->getProduct();
$salable = $observer->getSalable();
$date_expiration = $product->getDateExpiration()
if( your logic for stop showing product)
{
$salable->setIsSalable(false);
}
return $this;
}
Yes, you need to override product listing block and filter the collection with your custom attribute value.
