Sounds great. Another thing I would suggest if not already said is to allow the admin to set values for every combination and then click submit. Allowing all of the stock values for a certain product to be updated at one time.
Great module though either way. Do you have any idea when the next zen-cart update would be? I just recently discovered the cart and I think its fabulous..I just don't know how often the updates are.
These are helpful suggestions. Both have been noted.
The functionality in this mod is planned to be taken into core Zen Cart in the next major release. However, this will hopefully be a re-write as the mod is creaking under the weight of some dodgy historical design choices (it has a long history dating back to osCommerce since when it has passed through the hands of several developers) and lacks the flexibility to cope with many of the features that store owners would like.
Zen Cart releases don't come out on a schedule. I suspect that this is because the Zen Cart developers have to work around their other commitments (e.g. their day jobs) and prefer to get each release right, rather than cut corners to meet a deadline. However, as a generalisation, there's a major release about once a year and several minor releases. It's an active project whose roadmap can be seen here.
it is like you are psychic or something!!! :yes:
i did indeed install the admin profile module. it never even occurred to me that i would not have access privileges to all functions.
thank you for your support and for helping with such a great piece of software.

I'm extremely new to this Zen cart stuff and have no PHP experience. I'm using the Stock by Attribute module with ZenCart v1.3.6
I am allowed to check out having ordered apparel in variations for which there is no stock.
What configuration settings should be looking at to make sure order unavailable stock?
Thanks for any (urgent!) Help!!
In the Admin > Configuration > Stock there are settings for you to decide whether you want to check stock before checkout and whether you wish to allow checkout if you are not holding the stock.Quote:

Thanks so much
Which version of the mod are you using?
Do you have the "Show stock when low" flag set to true?
Is there a site and product where this can be seen happening?
Using v4_2
Yes the show stock when low is set to true, have also tried it set to false.
Maybe look at:
http://www.tattersallsclothing.com/s...products_id=19
There is nothing available in large, it lets me order large, subtracts it from the total product quantity of all variants.
Any ideas?
First recommendation is to upgrade to 4.3.1. The 4.2 version was targeted at Zen Cart 1.3.5 rather than the 1.3.6 that you said earlier you are using. Although I can't promise that this will solve the problem, this nature and design of this mod makes it partiicularly sensitive to mismatches between Zen Cart and mod versions.Quote:

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
This, sadly, means nothing to me.
Can you provide any guidance? Please?
