Make Product Status default to Available for Sale
 

When adding new products, the default status is set to Disabled.

To make the default status "Available for sale" when adding a new product, modify these two files:

..\admin\skin1\main\product_details.tpl
..\skin1\main\product_details.tpl


=== CHANGE ===
<select name="forsale">
<option value="Y"{if $product.forsale eq "Y"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_avail_for_sale}</option>
<option value="H"{if $product.forsale eq "H"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_hidden}</option>
<option value="N"{if $product.forsale ne "Y" && $product.forsale ne "H" && ($product.forsale ne "B" || not $active_modules.Product_Configurator)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_disabled}</option>


=== TO ===
<select name="forsale">
<option value="Y"{if $product.forsale eq "Y" || $product.forsale eq ""} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_avail_for_sale}</option>
<option value="H"{if $product.forsale eq "H"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_hidden}</option>
<option value="N"{if $product.forsale ne "Y" && $product.forsale ne "H" && $product.forsale ne "" && ($product.forsale ne "B" || not $active_modules.Product_Configurator)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_disabled}</option>
