So is this mod supposed to show the stock levels on the product listing page?
Otherwise, how is a customer going to know if their size is available?
Will it automatically hide an attribute when stock is at 0?

hi,
all this mod does is show sold out beside and attribute when its stock level reaches 0.
I'd be interested in finding out what went wrong with in your case digitalrust.
i hope it doenst mess up on my store.
it's not working properly for me either :(
i'll have to figure out what has gone wrong.
Is anybody interested in helping me?
Hi,
Frank_Ivy did say
so it must have something to do with the SQL.Quote:
Keep in mind, these fix will only work for products have one attribute, and product attribute display style is radio buttons or check boxes.
I've got products with more than one attribute and attribute stock mixes.
best thing to do would not be to show the attributes at all if they are sold out.
There must be a way to fix this!!
OK so I have a probles...
It DOESN'T show Sold Out on items that i don't have.
I just input the info yesterday, and had an order today for something I do not have in stock. I checked the site and it doesn't say sold out.
I need help fixing this asap!
Thanks guys!
You are absolutely right. This mod has a terrible database structure going way back in time to I suspect (for it is long before my time) the osCommerce mod from which it was originally derived. As a result, for precisely the reason that you give, it doesn't play nicely with multi-value form fields (radio buttons and check boxes to you and me).Quote:

There's quite a bit of discussion about this on one of the archive threads and even some code in an older version of the mod that seemed to be trying to achieve this AJAX-type functionality (which certainly would be very cool).Quote:

The readme was updated for 4.4. You'll find an amendments section for it part way down the document.Quote:

It's still a great mod - even though it has its foibles. :yes:
Hi Crabacle
Many thanks for the encouraging words. Most mods slowly die when when the original developer gives up on them. A few of the more important ones get picked up by a second developer and taken forward, or by Dr Byte who keeps them in line with Zen Cart.
This one has had an unprecedented 4-5 developers, one after another, plus significant contributions from others. That it eats developers like this shows how difficult it is. That it nevertheless keeps getting picked up and carried forward shows how important it is (though you could make a case for it actually being evidence of how daft some developers can be - I wouldn't argue). I will therefore be very pleased to see it properly integrated into Zen Cart, after which we'll be able to concentrate on doing the really flashy stuff! :thumbsup:
