Describe the bug

The drilldown view model does not respect the "When Out of Stock, Show but Don't Allow Purchaases" setting option. Products with this inventory mode setting are expected to show on the category drilldown view even if inventory is zero. The product when set with a positive inventory integer does show in the view and it still shows after setting it to zero but it dissapears once the HCC cache is cleared. It's not in the JSON once cache is cleared either which is what's used to populate the view.

Software Versions

TESTED ON 2 VERSION of DNN & HCC

• DNN: 09.13.06 & 09.13.02
• Hotcakes: 03.08.02 & 03.06.00

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. HCC Category module should be set to drilldown view
2. A product's Inventory Mode should be set to "When Out of Stock, Show but Don't Allow Purchaases" with a positive inventory count.
3. Observe the product does appear in the category module.
4. Set the inventory to 0, observe the product still appears in the category module.
5. Clear the cache, the product no longer shows on the category module.

Expected behavior

The product with inventory mode set to: "When Out of Stock, Show but Don't Allow Purchaases" is expected to still show or be in the JSON for the Category Module's DrillDown View Model even if inventory is at 0 regardless of cache.

Actual behavior

The product no longer appears in the category module drilldown view when inventory is set to 0 after clearing cache.
