Disable and enable product in admin not working? (red button or green button)

Hello,

:blush: I'm not sure if I am being silly or what not but the admin 'product disable/enable' function is not working. I turned a bunch of products off via an entire category turn off, making the green button turn red..along with each product within the category.

Now I only want to enable certain products for the time being, but when I go into the category in admin and click the red button next to the product I want to turn on, it simply refreshes the page and remains red? :frusty:

Seems that you have installed Image Handler 4. If so check out this:

Hello Webchills,

I don't actually have image handler 4 installed, but I have check the code in the thread provided and it appears to be fine. FTP is telling me that this file has not been edited or had an override since I installed.

I should perhaps take a flick through mods that are installed to see if there is any conflict.

Many thanks for your help Webchills

Maybe this might narrow it down - The categories can be turned off fully via the product status button, but the products within each category can not.

That's probably your smartest starting point.

Spiggles87, I am having the same issue categories are disabling but not products, did you find any solution? I tried to find out as per dr.byte recommandation but there are so many files and unfortunatly I found this issue when migration from 1.3.9a to 1.5 done in production and I didn't test it in dev before putting it in Production. Any help in this regard will be appreciated. I have two environments in one I have image handler 4 and other without but problem is same in both environments.

This happened to me recently and the fix was really easy: just find your admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php and run a compare with the one from a clean install. You can use WinMerge or Beyond Compare. Be careful so you don't kill any functionality you might have added. :smile:

balihr, you rock man, it fixed my issue:clap:

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd post this in case someone one would find it useful.

categories.php read:

case 'setflag':

      if ( isset($_GET['flag']) && ($_GET['flag'] == '0') || ($_GET['flag'] == '1') ) {
        if (isset($_GET['pID'])) {
          zen_set_product_status($_GET['pID'], $_GET['flag']);
        }
      }

I changed it to:

case 'setflag':

      if ( isset($_POST['flag']) && ($_POST['flag'] == '0') || ($_POST['flag'] == '1') ) {
        if (isset($_GET['pID'])) {
          zen_set_product_status($_GET['pID'], $_POST['flag']);
        }
      }
