A new Hook like productIsAvailable in Isotope\Module\ProductList

[tsarma]

I am suggesting to introduce a new hook inside Isotope\Module\ProductList::compile() right before the foreach ($arrProducts as $objProduct) { similar to isotope hook "productIsAvailable" from Isotope\Model\Product\Standart::isAvailableForCollection()

if (isset($GLOBALS['ISO_HOOKS']['productIsAvailableCheck']) && is_array($GLOBALS['ISO_HOOKS']['productIsAvailableCheck'])) {
    foreach ($GLOBALS['ISO_HOOKS']['productIsAvailableCheck'] as $callback) {
        $objCallback = \System::importStatic($callback[0]);
        $arrProducts = $objCallback->{$callback[1]}($arrProducts);
    }
}

The present isotope hook "productIsAvailable" is useless in some case when you wanted to list the products dynamically depending on some condition (like get parameter), since the Product Ids are already cached inside iso_productcache.

We use the generateProductList for such cases. However, this is not quite the same as productIsAvailable of course.

@fritzmg : Thanks, I saw that but didn't pay much attention, because I was a fixed on the idea of eliminating unwanted entries right up front the heavy foreach loop.

You can also write your own product list module and override the findProducts() method :-)

@Toflar, Thank you.
