    Default Visible Stock levels using Attributes

    Hello, When using attributes I'm wondering if there is a way to allow the actual stock quantaties to be visible to the customer to save them adding an out of stock item? Obviously I could delete that particular variant but doing that makes for a lot of work with a large stock level!

    Here's an example of mine http://www.thefairtradefaerie.co.uk/...roducts_id=196 and this is an example of what I'm wanting to achieve

    Rose Dust [0 in stock]
    Spring Crocus [2 in stock]
    Royal Lilac [2 in stock]
    Raspberry Sorbet [0 in stock]
    Aurora Red [3 in stock]
    Chili Pepper [3 in stock]
    Bluebell [0 in stock]
    Agate Green [4 in stock]
    Shitake [3 in stock]
    Daiquiri Green [3 in stock]

    Sorry it's long winded, but I'm new to all this....

    I have the EXACT same question! All I can say is this should be easier to figure out considering how basic a demand it is.
    There are 3 types of people in this world... Those who can count, and those who can't.

    This question has been done to death in the Stock by Attributes support thread, where are references to a solution for the single attribute case that SusieTFTF gives as an example.

    Once you move beyond a single attribute per product ... well being basic and being easy aren't necessarily the same thing!

    I believe I've found the answer here:

    http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=310

    Done to death, yes... Still a patch and not a cart fix though.

    Many thanks Lawrence, I have this already, and in back end admin works fine. What I'm after is a visible stock level in my actual shop front. I have spent a long while reading the attribute support thread, and the zen book but it's very difficult for a beginner to browse through hundreds of replies in one thread/topic to find an answer when you're actually unsure of the correct wording to the question and the answers are not obvious . This is a better example of what I want to achieve http://www.scotiafairtrade.com/raw-s...am-p-3942.html

    Hi there. I'm the owner of the website you've referenced. I have the Stock by Attributes module installed (can't remember which version) and I found out how to display attribute stock quantities from the following post:

    http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=485

    It's a little complicated but the post has all the instructions you need to show stock levels for products that have single attributes with multiple values (don't know about multiple attributes). It will work for dropdowns (see http://www.scotiafairtrade.com/natur...ks-p-3700.html) as well as radio buttons.
