This doesn't sound like anything that Stock By Attributes would do. It makes no attempt to edit the order at all.Quote:

So if your order is getting corrupted, I think you need to look elsewhere.
I struggled with many of the mods being built with an earlier version of zencart...meaning orders.php from 1.3.9c not 1.3.9h...so yes, all edits should be done manually....some are just impossible with other mods, but SBA is a pretty simple edit.Quote:
Did you experience also this:
"After installing Stock by Attributes 1.4.13, the shipping addresses (all 3 in the customer orders in admin) disappeared. In the place of them, there is only a comma! Since orders.php has been edited for this module, there may be some bug in it. Has anyone else noted this?"
Maybe it would be worth to try to take an original 1.39h file and make the modification manually for it. Something must be wrong with the package file.

Hi everybody, am I the only one with this problem? It seems like a bug in SBA 1.4.13 where the INSERT statement leaves out the "SORT" column, yet the "SORT" column is defined as "NOT NULL" in the "PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES" table.Quote:

you are not the only one...it is a bug....there is a temporary fix in my posts, until they fix the mod, if you do a search in this thread for it.
Hi all-
I'm a relatively new ZenCart user and also Stock By Attributes. Everything was going smashingly with my 1.3.9h ZenCart and then I tried to install Stock By Attributes 1.4.13 (both current as of today). After messing with things for far longer then I care to admit, I was still getting various errors. After pouring through this thread and others, I attempted many fixes to no avail and was on the verge of giving up.
Long story short, I figured out my problem and I wanted to relay it here in case it helps anyone else.
Being the good programmer that I am, I renamed any file that the Stock By Attributes distribution was going to overwrite.
Those files:
admin/orders.php
admin/includes/functions/general.php
includes/classes/order.php
includes/functions/functions_lookups.php
includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/header_php.php
includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php
..I renamed them to ordersOLD.php, generalOLD.php, etc. Then, I did the install of the Stock By Attributes module.
Maybe that's a basic PHP error on my part, but that was the cause of all of my problems. And I think I experienced just about every problem with this mod! As soon as I deleted all of the old copies, everything worked fantastically. VERY FRUSTRATING! :censored:
But, at least I found the error. Perhaps it's basic PHP stuff with filename conventions, but I did not know that those names would cause confusion on the part of the webserver. It appeared to me that the server was reading the old file even though I renamed it. Perhaps it was a caching error of some sort, I'm not exactly sure. What I do know is that things IMMEDIATELY worked flawlessly once I blew away my backup copies. From here on out, I will keep my backups in an entirely different place!
:oops:
Too bad it took so long and so much pain to figure out. But maybe this will help someone else.
Cheers,

That's exactly what would have been happening. It's been covered repeatedly earlier in the thread, but not for a while so worth repeating ... it's very bad practise to mix backups with live files. Your web server should have only the files you actually want to be executed.Quote:

Yes, keeping backups is a good idea, but keep them on your development machine or in your code repository, not on your live site.
(... and run a mile from FTP clients that automatically create a backup file for you)
Are you saying then that this mod works right out of the box, so to speak?
I've tried in vain to get attention of who modified the most recent version, .13 to no avail as there is still an issue for most of us here with stock for items in the cart showing zero when it is listed underneath an item with attributes.
The solution, albeit imperfect, is to keep the old /includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php
Can someone in the know set me straight on this because my impression is that this most recent version of .13 is flawed.
I continue to advise folks to do what I did while waiting for this version to undergo correction.
Alas, not one that I can answer. We (Kuroi) supported this mod to a professional standard for several years, but stopped about 3 years back when other people started hacking their pet features into it without proper testing. We've not used the publicly released versions since.Quote:

I would be willing to help anyone with the know how to test and perfect this mod. Just let me know.
Athena-
From what I can tell, the answer is yes, the mod works right out of the box. I had put in your fix below at one point but then taken it back out. I just double checked my version of the header and it is the version from the SBA 1.4.13.
Now, as I mentioned, I put in a bunch of fixes and backed them out, and I'm fairly sure I am running "out of the box" but not totally certain.
I may try and do a ground up install of ZenCart and SBA and see what happens - if I have the time. If I do, I will report back with my results.
