Can i prevent checkout through paypal express if item out of stock?

[bashers]

I've been working on a new shop using the new 2.3 code

 

We only use Paypal express as a payment type at the moment but we are not able to prevent sales completing if the item is out of stock using this payment module.

Although we use QTpro on some items and this can hide out of stock goods, other things aren't listed this way

 

I thought this may be due to the customisation we've been doing but i tried a vanilla install today and the same thing happens there.

 

Obviously we have configured "Allow checkout" as false in the admin section

 

Is there any way this can be prevented.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you need to hide the Paypal button on the shopping cart page if any items in the basket are out of stock?

:unsure:

 

The code that displays the button currently doesn't take stock quantity into account, or whether you have "Allow Checkout" set to false.

Not necessarily....

 

In /catalog/shopping_cart.php replace this code:

 

 

    if (!empty($initialize_checkout_methods)) {
?>

 <p align="right" style="clear: both; padding: 15px 50px 0 0;"><?php echo TEXT_ALTERNATIVE_CHECKOUT_METHODS; ?></p>

<?php
     reset($initialize_checkout_methods);
     while (list(, $value) = each($initialize_checkout_methods)) {
?>

 <p align="right"><?php echo $value; ?></p>

<?php
     }
   }
?>

</div>

</form>

With this code:

 

    if ( !empty($initialize_checkout_methods) ) {
     if ($any_out_of_stock == 1) {
       if (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT == 'true') {
?>

 <p align="right" style="clear: both; padding: 15px 50px 0 0;"><?php echo TEXT_ALTERNATIVE_CHECKOUT_METHODS; ?></p>

<?php
         reset($initialize_checkout_methods);
         while (list(, $value) = each($initialize_checkout_methods)) {
?>

 <p align="right"><?php echo $value; ?></p>

<?php
         }
       }
     }
     else {
?>

 <p align="right" style="clear: both; padding: 15px 50px 0 0;"><?php echo TEXT_ALTERNATIVE_CHECKOUT_METHODS; ?></p>

<?php
       reset($initialize_checkout_methods);
       while (list(, $value) = each($initialize_checkout_methods)) {
?>

 <p align="right"><?php echo $value; ?></p>

<?php
       }
     }
   }
?>

</div>

</form>

I tested this and it worked for me.
