Stocks by attributes

Hello! Having a bit of a problem getting this add-in to work.

I installed Zen Cart1.5 and outside of creating a a few categories and items, really haven't done anything else besides the general settings.

I went to install the add-in, following the directions in the readme. I ran the SQL, but then there seems to be an error in the directions:

Prepare the package for upload to your server by renaming the following folders to match your template name: includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE and includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE.

---

After unzipping the file the only thin in includes/modules is pages. There is no YOUR_TEMPLATE folder. There is one in includes/templates.

The first time I tried this, I just went ahead and made a folder there (classic) and then copied everything over as per the instructions. After that, the admin screen still worked, but the main store page just comes up blank.

I'm hosting on GoDaddy using a Linux shared account if that matters, using PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5.0.

I did a search in this thread, but I didn't find an answer to my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First you need to say which of the 3 or 4 versions of SBA you are working with.

Secondly, you are aware that this add-on has not been updated to work with Zen Cart v1.5 right??

Didn't realize there were multiple versions floating out there. Looks like I downloaded 1.4.14

I thought that it meant it worked on Zen Cart v1.3.9 and higher.

I guess I'll start over using Zen Carty v1.3.9 as I really need to have the functionality of this add-in for my site. Any real reason not to use that version?

The install notes for SBA do still seem to be incorrect.

Thanks!

I am about half way upgrading my version to work with 1.5.0. Hopefully have it out by the end of the week for beta testing. Spent about 5 hours just to get the admin settings to show up in the 1.5.0 Menu. LOL *sigh* For now I am not adding any new features it does have the dynamic drop down add on included in my version. I may remove all the radio buttons stuff that don't work and just have the dropdown options. I am just getting this mod to work with my one client I have left on zen-cart. If I had to do any more work on it... I'll just switch them over to the other cart system I am using instead.

I have had a look around so if this has been answered I apologise.

Am I right in thinking that there is no way to get SBA to ignore a particular attribute?

For example I have a situation where the product is shoes has attributes, lets say color and size. The product also has a checkbox attribute for 'extra laces' . The extra laces checkbox doesn't actually effect the stock levels at all so needs to be kept out of the stock checking but the other attributes do need to be checked for stock.

Ha ha! This is just an example. The real situation is considerably more strange :-)

So, there is no way of excluding the 'extra laces' from the stock checking?

Thanks

OK I had a look at this myself. My solution is to edit zen_get_prodcts_stock() I put this at the top.

Code:

---

  function zen_get_products_stock($products_id, $attributes = '') {
    global $db;
    $products_id = zen_get_prid($products_id);

    foreach($attributes as $a)
    {
        if($a != 89)
        {
            $x_attributes[] = $a;
            //echo $a;
        }
    }
   
    $attributes  = $x_attributes;

---

Which lets the stock check ignore the option_value = 89. If someone can advise me if I am digging myself a hole later down the road then I'd be grateful. But it seems to work.

I have read a lot of post. I needed a tool that would allow me to have a t-shirt, pick color and show the sizes that are available for that color. The thread I was in directed me to stock by attributes download link. Im confused because I saw someone said it does not work on the new zen cart. I cant get it to work so is this really the case or do I need to do something different?

repeat..

One real issue here is that there are two threads for this problem. One here and one at
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...91#post1104291

In neither is there any resolution. In the other thread I asked if anyone got this working properly and if so, would they be so kind as to write a simple idiots guide. I post here in case some people do not read the other thread.

Unless there is a reason perhaps it would be best to have a single thread?

Hello everyone and thanks for the contribution. I created the Italian language in the admin and client side and everything is translated properly. Unfortunately when I click on "Add Quantity For Product Variant", the option value is in U.S. dollars instead of euro. In my store I have eliminated the currency dollar (via localization> currencies) and I checked in mysql, currencies no longer exists in the table the value of the dollar. The euro is my default currency. All other currencies, both in management that the store are shown in euros, including attributes. How can I fix? thank you very much :smile:
