This contribution enables you to show sold out / out of stock products just like other normal products, but without the ability to add them to the shopping cart. Instead, a "sold out" button (inactive) is shown.
Please note that if the status of a product is set to "out of stock" by the administrator but the product quantity is greater than zero - this contribution will still show a "sold out" image. So it shows a product as "sold out" if the product quantity is zero OR the product status is zero i.e. out of stock.
The product count in the categories box also includes sold out items (though it is very easy for you to change that if you like). Product listing for any category doesn't show the "buy now" button if "sold out conditions" (as detailed above) are met.

This includes instructions to modify the code to show the Sold Out button on the What's New pages. Without this, your customers will be able to add a Sold Out item to their cart from the What's New pages, only to be told it's out of stock when they come to check out.

Fixed advanced_search_results.php to show the correct status on the results page.

If the quantity was not being displayed in the product listings, the select query did not include products_quantity and hence the products always showed as sold out. Made the required change in index.php, line 165 -- checked if select clause has no mention of 'products_quantity' then added it to the select clause.
