Steps after installation (IMPORTANT)

• Since this extension does not set the attribute for existing products (the value stays empty after installation), you need to set the attribute to Yes for every simple product (you can do so by mass-action).
• Also every new created product needs to be set to Yes (Default value) for at least one time, otherwise, the attribute for that specific product does not get created.

Once the attribute was set to Yes at least one time, the cronjob does his thing and sets the value automatically with every run.

Configuration

You can find the configuration for this extension in Stores -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Inventory -> Stock Filter Cronjob Configuration

The Cronjob iterates over all simple products and sets the newly created attribute "filter-stock" according to the stock status of the product.

Uninstalling

As this extension creates an attribute, the attribute needs to be removed when the extension get uninstalled.
