Hide unavailable attribute values from product page

[lunika]

Hope someone can help me with the following. My shop sells shirts with texts on the back. I now have a section (category) for men and ladies but most shirts are marked as duplicate content because I have the same text for both categories.

I was planning to merge the products by adding an extra attribute for type of shirt. In that case I have 1 product where the customer can choose:

1. Shirt type: men or ladies
2. Shirt color: black, blue, pink, orange, green
3. Size: S, M, L, XL, XXL

The problem is on the product page. If I select men then it must show only the available colors and sizes for men. The same for ladies. Now all attribute values are shown and a message is displayed: "this combination is not available". This is not really user friendly.

In prestashop 1.7 this seems to be working out-of-the box by hiding the not-available values. But prestashop 1.6 and thirtybees work different.

Is there a solution or plugin to have the behavior I need?

Thanks! Bart

This requires a hard coded theme edit to do.

Doesn't look like this is ever going to be incorporated. The module below works great on my PS 1.6 store so it should work fine on TB.

@ajensen27 thanks for this link. It looks like this comes close to what I want. Instead of hiding the unavailable attribute values it marks them with a cross. I'll look into it to see if it works for my store too! But still too bad that this is not standard functionality.

@lunika No problem. There are 2 options they give you. You can hide them or cross them out. You can see for yourself on my site here https://goo.gl/j6cuV3 ... If you select a different size, you'll see the package size drop down change values.

This is also something that concerns me as I will be making heavy use of attributes. I found this post on the PS forums which has a link to a free module that claims to solve this problem. The caveat is that it only works for attributes contained within drop-down lists. Still, it's free instead of 60 Euros... Hopefully it works with thirty bees.

Also worth noting is that PrestoChangeo has a $75 module to fix this, and it been tested for compatibility with thirty bees. The PrestoChangeo solution is certainly more complete than the free solution and is probably worth the $75 for most people.

I've been using the module I mentioned above for almost a year and it works perfectly. Check it out for yourselves on my PS 1.6 shop @ llmedico (dot) com
