Change status of an exp-resso store entry using safecracker

Question

On a website/webshop running EE 2.5.5, and Exp-resso store 1.6.2 i'm trying to simplify the stock keeping process. I'd like to close an entry with a safecracker form.

For test purposes i created a new, blank template with only the following code:

{exp:safecracker channel="products" return="" entry_id="{segment_2}" }

<select name="status" id="status">
    {statuses}
            <option value="{status}"{selected}>{status}</option>
    {/statuses}
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Apply" />

{/exp:safecracker}

I change the status, press "submit" and get an error:

A Database Error Occurred

You must use the "set" method to update an entry.

Filename: third_party/store/models/store_products_model.php

Line Number: 315

« Back

The strange thing is: the status does change, so i'm not sure why i'm getting this error.

Inside the store_products_model.php the lines around 315 look like this:

I want to change the status on the front end using safecracker, error free. What should I do?

A workaround question might be:

How can i change the status without triggering the store_products_model?

Answer 1

Adrian wrote a fix. I can now use Safecracker to change the status without errors.

The fix wil be included in the next release of exp-resso store.
