I've been trying to reproduce this but have not been able to. In a test environment with the settings exactly as you have them, and a product set up as you have it, it all works perfectly for me.Quote:

So if you look at Catalog > Categories / Products you should see 20, whilst Catalog > Products with attributes stock should show 15.
You can manually sync the two by clicking on the Sync Quantities link in Catalog > Products with attributes. Quite why this wasn't automated when the addon was originally written escapes me. Maybe it is because attribute stock levels have taken over from product stock levels and so product stock levels no longer mean much, and it just wasn't considered to be important.
You choose whether to add attribute stock to a product. If you do any attributes to which you don't add stock will be treated as having none. If you don't the stock control will continue to be done at the product level.Quote:

* includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/header_php.php
* includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php
If so, did you merge both sets of changes into the core Zen Cart, or overwite one set with another?
TBrides is right. The mod doesn't do this. Happily I now see that you have found and implemented the revised Grayson solution - well done.Quote:

So it can be done, and would be much more feasible than trying to come up with a way of displaying the stock available for every combination in a way that would be meaningful to a customer.Quote:
Keep in mind, these fix will only work for products have one attribute, and product attribute display style is NOT radio buttons or check boxes.
Nevertheless it would be a relatively complex and potentially page-slowing piece of work that scarcely seems justified for a mod whose life will come to an end with the next major release of Zen Cart.
Do you have the following values set?Quote:

This sounds a little like the problem im having.Quote:

Is this possible?
I think this is a problem for quite a few people. I know for me it is. The customer should defintely be given the information on the Product Info page, not at check out.

The reasons have been explained many times before on this and other threads, but I'll run through them one final time:Quote:

- Alternatively you could pass data for every combination to the visitor's browser together with code that can be executed on the browser (most likely DHTML) but alas the original data structure is so poor as to make this very difficult to do
- And since a different, better integrated approach to stock by attributes is scheduled for inclusion in the next major release of Zen Cart, there is little point to producing complex code that will soon be made redundant
And I'm now going to join the list of retirees. The time I have to donate to supporting people through the forum is limited and better used on things other than keep answering the same point over and over for a mod for which I have no personal use. I'll let somebody else pick up the baton, until the mod draws its last breath. Any volunteers?Quote:
