Printable Catalog Module - negate certain items showing?

[Guest]

Hey there :)

 

A long while ago I installed a "printable catalogue" module to my site, which works pretty well... I've still not got around to tweaking it properly though.

 

Now the thing is, I have a category on my site filled with all my sold items. Once an item is sold, I remove the manufacturer details (Well, it's classed as "Era" on my site) and I make the price 0.00. I also prefix the title of the item with "SOLD!"...

The problem is, when people look at my printable catalogue, it obviously displays all the sold items as well as the items for sale, so if there were to print the thing out, they would have page upon page of items they can not purchase, thus it wastes paper (and time)!

 

So, I wondered if it would be easy to create a bit of code to stick in to one of the print catalog php files that would either:

1. negate all item results that were <0.01 in price

2. negate any item where the title of the product started with the characters SOLD!

OR

3. negate any item that doesn't have a manufacturer (era for my site) set

 

???

 

Any of these three options would mean hopefully that my sold items would not show in the printable catalogue = less bandwidth usage, faster page load + less printing for the customer!

 

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear from you please :)

 

Thanks in advance,
