Steven, the second post in this thread (way on back there :) ) has a link -- I'm assuming that's still the most current version?Quote:

That's great, but is there a link to the package? The one in downloads isn't complete - there is no admin interface (must be missing file[s]).

That's the one people are later complaining is missing a file... so I figured there was a newer one. Anyway, I can wait and it sounds like the author is going to roll in some of your much appreciated mods. I'll monitor and wait for that release.
I don't expect anyone here to write it for me, but how possible/easy do you think it would be to make it so I can define which products can go to checkout if out of stock and which ones can't? I like to keep track of stock for my own purposes, but some items I want customers to order regardless of if I have any in stock (because I can get stock within the hour) while others are gone when they're gone. I just finished writing an extremely complex and involved contrib that allows you to select a different "base currency" for each item so I'm sure I can do it - just wanted to hear your thoughts before I tackle it. in conjunction with this contrib is what i mean.

Steven, I think there are a lot of people who would *love* it if you wrote that mod. It won't be the simplest of things to write, but I'm convinced you can do it :).
Will you write it only for products with attributes, or for all products? It would be useful for all products for many folks, I bet. So perhaps it's better as a standalone contrib than rolled into this one.
After thinking about it, I think it will be dead simple. I'll get to it asap. Might not make a pretty admin for it (but I might :) )
I wasn't thinking of only with attributes, but I do want it to do that too... that's where it might get tricky.
How's this mod work? If you have "don't allow checkout if out of stock" option enabled does it work with this mod? If so, then my mod should be pretty easy to work with this one too. If not, then it may not be easily compatible - I won't know till I get a little dirty.

Steven,
For what it's worth....
I did a very simple (but also very basic) mod to that written by grayson for showing a string value against an attribute. To save you looking back a few pages I wanted to show whether an item could be dispatched from stock, or whether it would take a day or so before I could dispatch it (from supplier stock). Letting the customer decide at the product page would avoid disappointment at checkout ;) Thanks again to grayson ::tup
So, the customer doesn't see stock levels, just the dispatch time. This is triggered by Stock With Attributes being >0 or <=0, accordingly, so remains reasonably dynamic.
I have slightly enhanced this to ask the customer to "contact us" on certain attributes - in case the supplier is temporarily out of stock of that variant. All I do is set the attributes stock to -100. This does messes up any stock control through ZC, but I have another means for stock control anyway.
Would be happy to post the mod if anyone wants it :)
Has anyone played around with formatting a radio list with this mod?
In my vertical list, each row has a radio button, Attribute variant and attribute/stock message (in my case dispatch time based on attribute stock level).
I am about to embark on a trawl through the code to insert the apporpriate <TD>s to format the list into tidy columns (the attribute/stock messages are all out of line since the attribute variants are different lengths). Seems that this will be a bit of a challenge :blink:
Still, I was wondering if anyone had done this already to save me the headaches ??? ;)
you guys keep coming up with great solutions while I'm still breaking my code to get the stock to appear in the dropdown menu. :(
for some reason I can't find the right place where the text value for the dropdown is generated. any tips?
ringy
would love to see that addition as my client sells clothes and part of the problem is certain sizes the customer needs to contact them..
Yahaira, I couldn't find it right away either....I've got to translate today, but I'll try to take a look at in the next day or two.Quote:
