For various reasons we've got a few custom columns added to the ecom_prod table. Is there anyway to flag them as not-required or hide them entirely from the create/edit product areas in the back end? Closest I got was hiding them from a guided search, but that's still not quite enough.
Also, is it possible to make the search include out-of-stock products without having them appear in the main displays of products? A good 30% of our products are out-of-stock at any given moment, but we'd still like to let customers see they exist if they search for them. But that 30% means that they clog up the main product lists.

(1) Yes, edit the entries for each of those columns in the core_columndefs table via Raw DB Admin. Change the insert type and update type columns to use the value 'HIDDEN-REG'.
(2) Yes, required mods to the ECOM_Prod class, prodlist() function. Look for coding related to hiding items that are out of stock and suppress for all but searches.
