Which items can be ordered in the Catalog module can also be controlled by the item’s status. Items that have statuses with “Order” option enabled in Workflow status settings are available for ordering.
Therefore, if restriction by status settings is enabled for the module, a user will be able to order an item (the Order button will be available in the item Info window) if the following conditions are met:
Item is of the “orderable” type
File is uploaded to the file field
Item is in the “orderable” status
Note!
When enabling “orderability” control of items by status, note the following peculiarity:
If status field that is used to control “orderability” is a simple text field of the type “Status”, item will be orderable if this status field is empty for this item. However, if “orderability” of items is controlled by the module link of the type “Status” — items with empty module link fields will be unavailable for ordering, until “orderable” status is selected.
