How to disable all products from specific category?

Question

I am using CE 1.7.0.2, I want to disable all products from one specific category.

How I can disable all products from category? (SQL is fine)

Answer 1

Create a new file in in your Magento root, call it products-disable.php and paste in the following

    <?php
    require_once('app/Mage.php');
    Mage::app();
    Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);

    $categoryId = 123;
    $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);

    if ($category->getId()) {
        $products = $category->getProductCollection();
        foreach ($products as $product) {
            $product->setData('status', false);
            $product->save();
        }
    } else {
        die("category failed to load");
    }

Then browse to your site http://mymagesite.url/products-disable.php and it should set the status of all the products in that category as false

DONT RUN THIS STRAIGHT ON YOUR PRODUCTION SITE. Test it out first :)

edit :

This magento code will update your database as a bulk action, so far quicker than the initial save on each row. I've batched it in pages of 500, change that value in the setPageSize call to whatever you please. I'd recommend this method FAR more than doing a direct sql change as it will trigger events and indexes and stuff.

I haven't tested this code, but believe it should work.

<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);

$categoryId = 123;
$storeCode = 'default';

$storeId = Mage::getModel('core/store')->load($storeCode)->getId();
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);

if ($storeId && $category->getId()) {

    $collection = $category->getProductCollection();
    $collection->getSelect()->reset(Zend_Db_Select::COLUMNS)->columns('entity_id');

    $collection->setPageSize(500);

    for ($curPage = 1; $curPage <= $collection->getLastPageNumber(); $curPage++) {
        $collection->clear();
        $collection->setCurPage($curPage);

        $ids = array();
        foreach ($collection as $_product) {
            $ids[$_product->getId()] = $_product->getId();
        }

        if (!empty($ids)) {
            Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_action')->updateAttributes($ids, array('status' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Status::STATUS_DISABLED), $storeId);
        }
    }

} else {
    die("category or store failed to load");
}

Hi try this which is give you list of products specifiv cat

For getting this category products:

SELECT `e`.`value_id` FROM `catalog_product_entity_int` AS `e` 
    LEFT JOIN `catalog_category_product` AS `cp` ON e.entity_id = cp.product_id WHERE (cp.category_id IN(15)) and e.attribute_id = 96 )

and disable the product by

update  `catalog_product_entity_int` set  `catalog_product_entity_int`.value_id =0 where `catalog_product_entity_int`.`value_id` in (YOUR_UPPer_value_Ids)

Where 15 in category ids

Answer 3

FOR MAGENTO 2 Disable All products from a specific category.

UPDATE `catalog_category_product` JOIN `catalog_product_entity_int` ON catalog_category_product.product_id = catalog_product_entity_int.entity_id SET catalog_product_entity_int.value = 2 WHERE catalog_category_product.category_id=1754 AND catalog_product_entity_int.attribute_id = 94

Run This query.

• attribute id 94 taken from eav_attribute table. i.e enable/disable field of product
• Category id has taken static because I want to update from this category.
• value=2 means disable the product

So this query is taking all products from catalog_category_product.product_id WHERE category_id= 1754. And then matching product id and entity id in catalog_product_entity_int and updating value in catalog_product_entity_int.value column as disable i.e 2
