I have set up Shared Choices, and then added them to the Product Choices (radio button) for a product. I then deselected two of the shared choices which are not available for this product, however those choices still show up in the Product Combinations Edit, and on the store pages.
I check the bvc_ProductChoiceCominations table and the combos that I deselected have available=False, so everything looks correct in the db.
Is there a way to keep these from appearing?

Bump. I'm seeing the same thing, unless I'm missing the purpose of selecting/deselecting shared options after saving the choices (which behaves rather sporadically, by the way). |

I think this problem is by design. Suppose you had 2 sets of product choices, each with two choices:
Size { Small, Large } Color { Red, Blue }
Then suppose that you would sell these in any combination except Small, Blue. When then you would de-select the small, blue combinations from the "Customer Choices" checkbox list in the admin. The result would be that on the product page, BOTH lists would still show all the options, but when you select Small, Blue an error message pops up with "This product combination is unavailable" (or something like that). But You still need both dropdownlists to show all options because you still want to sell a Small-Red or a Large-Blue.
That is the reasoning why this works the way it does, but I think it is very confusing and makes no sense at all when you only have 1 option. I hope that the BV Commerce folk will try to update their documentation to explain this better.
I ended up modifying our store so that when a product has only 1 customer choice, that it will remove choices from the list which are either disabled OR which currently out of stock. This has worked really nicely for us. |

Jesse, would you care to share the code for that modification. :) Or email me, I can pay you for your time spent. |
