[compunerdy]

was this a option someplace that I cant seem to find now?

no application doesn't allow out of stock items to be added to whishlist.

What is your application version?

[AbleMods]

7.0.3

Well I checked functionality on same build but for me If product is out of stock no add to cart or wishlist button appears on product details. Could you explain how you setup product for test?

[AbleMods]

Fresh AC 7.0.3 install with sample store data. Inventory Management enabled in admin side. Inventory tracking set to product on some, disabled on others. Add to Wishlist works fine on all of them. Even variants.

I found something else interesting...

When inventory is turned on for a product and allow backorder is enabled, the out-of-stock message is not displayed when stock level is set to 0. The item is out of stock and so the out-of-stock message should show on the product page.

[AbleMods]

It's the allow backorder checkbox on the edit product page. If backorders aren't allowed, BOTH buttons are hidden from view.

Technically, only the add-to-cart should be removed, wishlists have nothing to do with inventory levels or product availability.

Thanks for clarification, we have already logged it

Easy workaround.

Modify the BuyProductDialog.ascx.cs file. Find this section of code:

Code: Select all

    private void HideAddToBasket()
    {
        AddToBasketButton.Visible = false;
        AddToWishlistButton.Visible = false;
        rowQuantity.Visible = false;
    }

and comment out the reference to add to wishlistbutton like this:

Code: Select all

    private void HideAddToBasket()
    {
        AddToBasketButton.Visible = false;
        //AddToWishlistButton.Visible = false;
        rowQuantity.Visible = false;
    }

Now the add-to-wishlist will show regardless whether the add-to-basket button is visible

Nice work Joe

Thanks Joe!!

Glad to help. Sad as it may sound, the BuyProductDialog control is my home-away-from-home
