Problems with addon: Dynamic Drop Downs for Stock By Attribute

Hate to dredge up such an old post.. but I wanted to know if you ever resolved this?? I've seen lots of posts on this issue, but you appear to be the closest to having a real solution.. Did you work this out.. Care to share???:smile:

I added a flagged field to the 'products' table via phpmyadmin then when the tpl_product_info_display.php page (includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates) loads, around line 134, right after where the code to 'display the product attributes' is, I have put in an if/else statement that says that if that product is 'flagged' then /tpl_modules_attributes.php will load, and if not, then /tpl_modules_attributesversion2.php will load. Now I know that statement works because

Code:

---

<?php
/**
 * display the product atributes
 */
 
 if ($_GET['products_id'] < 2) {
  require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_attributes.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_attributes.php');
  }
 
  else {
  require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_attributestemp.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_attributestemp.php'); }
  }
?>

---

Will indeed load the one page for all products with a product_id less than2, and the other page for all others.... what I'm having a problem doing is changing the 'product_id' to the new 'flagged' field in the same table. I can indeed PRINT the 'flagged' value (either 0 or 1) by plugging in:

Code:

---

<?php echo $product_info->fields['flagged']; ?>

---

but I can't figure out how to correctly replace

Code:

---

if ($_GET['products_id'] < 2) {

---

with something like

Code:

---

if ($_GET['flagged'] = 2) {

---

...

If I want to uninstall dynamic dropdowns, do I simply carefully remove / replace the various files uploaded? I know it modified the mysql database, do I need to worry about that?

Warm Regards,

Yes you will most likely...see if the mod has a removal sql

I have just installed this mod today. I'm not sure what happened but I can see the attribute but not the quantity. This mod is supposed to display the quantity along with the attributes isn't it?

http://lilpixies.com/index.php?main_...&products_id=2

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks!

Short answer.. this mod doesn't work, and there has been no support for it in forever..

I have been told that this mod doesn't work, but in places people say that it works great.
Well,does it work or does it not? I would appreciate knowing. It would be a help and save time if it does and a waste of time if not.
Please let me know.

I just added the dynamic drop downs add-on, I'm also running stock by attribute. The dynamic drop downs add-on seems to have removed all the stock numbers I had next to each attribute (not really an issue mind, I didn't like that feature), the problem is, I'm now able to add out of stock attributes and even the "select a size" value to the basket. It basically adds a product without any attributes at zero cost... which is a little annoying.

Anyone know a) how to fix this, or b) how to remove this add-on?

Thanks

This was due to improper installation. Please review the documentation to ensure you completed every step.

Did that.. even sent you an e-mail with a link to the issue I posted about.. I long ago uninstalled this mod.. Perhaps if I have some time, I'll re-install on my test store, and re-post the issues I was having (which appear to be the SAME issues I saw others post about as well)..

ETA: Found my previously reported issues:
