Problems with addon: Dynamic Drop Downs for Stock By Attribute

[MikeyG]

I seem to have got this mod working to a point but I want to show the in stock and out of stock message for sequenced drop downs. eg select colour and then select size for you t-shirt. At the moment the size out of stock does not show. I would like it to show the size in the list but show it out of stock. Allowing in the customer to backorder.

Any one got any clues. I think the answer is in the class file but I just cannot seem to work out the value to tweek to get it to work.

Thanks

I would love to be able to display this out of stock message on the product page itself, without having to display it in the dropdown... any idea how to do this?

I installed this mod on my website and everything is working good as far as showing what is out of stock, but I am having a problem where now when someone orders something the invoice is not showing the size or color that they ordered. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how I can correct this?

i have v1.3.9h

all seems to be working

however, i have assigned cost values to attributes, e.g. some options add a an amount when you click add to cart, you can see it here http://www.melianpetsupplies.co.uk/i...roducts_id=329, select 'Red' and you will see the small option below, but the pound sign £ is broken

any idea how i might fix this? as i said, before upload £ sign was fine

any pointers, help, or guidance would be greatly appreciated

I've had this problem too. I think it relates to the fact that sometimes people don't choose an actual option and the dropdown still lets them add it to the cart......need a fix for that....anyone got one?

I was able to correct the error of adding products with no option selected by switching to sequenced_dropdowns. Now the problem is that the dropdowns no longer show the out of stock attributes which is not how I'd like it to display.

Having same problem as Linda. When using sequenced dropdowns the Out of stock-message doesnt show?

Hey Jagge,
I wasn't having a problem with mine. I wanted the out of stock flavors to not appear in the dropdown and that is how they function.

If you actually want the out of stock flavors to appear in the dropdown and say "out of stock" I'm not sure how to configure it to do that.

To make attributes required, Zen Cart recommends adding a display only attribute as the default for your options. However, installed Dynamic Dropdowns breaks this functionality as it adds it's own default option which is not a display only attribute. Then, it uses JavaScript to require a selection.

From time to time you may still get an order without an attribute selection because JavaScript was disabled or a JS error caused the validation to fail.

I've come up with the following workaround. Open includes/functions/functions_lookups.php and find:

function zen_get_attributes_valid($product_id, $option, $value) { 

Within the function find:

$check_valid = true; 

Add after:

    // disallow adding attributes with a value of 0
    if ($option > 0 && $value === 0) {
      $check_valid = false;
    }
