Just ignore it. To upgrade you only need to overwrite the files. Your database is already patched from your earlier installation and so is rejecting the attempt to implement the patch a second time. Although the readme does say that you only need to replace the files, it doesn't say it in the installation section, so if there's another release I'll make this more clear, with apologies for not having done so to date.
whooohooo! THANK YOU! That seemed to do the trick!
Pleased to be of help. Glad you stuck with it!Quote:

And yet again, I am one of those peoples who are trying to add a list of the available quantities to the attributes list, via radio/dropdown..
I have tried several methods to introduce this to my site, including the Grayson posts, but my knowledge of php and Sql is embarrasingly limited. It still does not work, in whatever method of attribute selection I try.
Here is a sample item listed for your perusal:
http://stock-wood.net/index.php?main...&products_id=5
If there is a fix I have missed, I would prefer that. If not, is this feature going into the next release and if so, is there a release date scheduled?
Implementing the following code into my /modules/custom_template/attributes.php
Will generate my custom TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK message on ALL attributes so I guess I'm halfway there but since it's ignoring the if telling it to use the TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK message I'm totally lost.Code:if ($products_options->fields['quantity'] > 0) {
$products_options_array[] = array('id' => $products_options->fields['products_options_values_id'],
'text' => $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] .' [ '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_IN_STOCK . ' ]');
} else {
$products_options_array[] = array('id' => $products_options->fields['products_options_values_id'],
'text' => $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] .' [ '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK . ' ]');
}
The in/out of stock messages of course changes if editing the "['quantity'] > 0)" part.
Anyone who understands why this happens?

Ok I am new to zen cart, and would really like to install this add-on
But I need baby steps on how to install this feature.....because I am totally clueless on how to do this....
any help would be appreciated :)
thanks!!!
Have you read the installation section of the readme file that comes with the add-on? If so, could you be more specific about which bit you need help with.Quote:

what should I be uploading?? where should i upload them to??
how am i meant to create a table???
i'm looking for step by step instructions on how to install this add-on
Is there a quick way to remove this module? It probably will do what I want with a considerable amount of persuasion but I've decided that I have other priorities just now - removing it would save me having to re-build the test site ... again.
thanks

There are six files in the package that amend core Zen Cart files. They are listed in the installation section of the readme file in the release package. If you replace these six files with the ones in the Zen Cart release package for the version you are using, Stock by Attributes will cease to have any effect.Quote:

This mod snuggles up real close to some of the code that is fundamental to the operation of a shopping cart. That makes it rather sensitive to changes in the underlying Zen Cart and very important to match Zen Cart and Stock by Attribute versions.Quote:

The original hack for this mod by Grayson has a few required differences to make it work with the new versions.
Firstly, the file named:
includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars_attributes.php
is now changed to:
includes/modules/CLASSIC/attributes.php
(where CLASSIC is the name of your template) and the second file to modify is now called:
includes/languages/ENGLISH/product_info.php
with the obvious language choices involved.
Or at least, thats how it was for me. Maybe its the same for you. Maybe not. I just hope this update can help someone besides me.
Much thanks to the ZenCart dev team, keep up the good work! :P
Hello, I have a problem with this addon.
I am using V4.31 of the addon and version 3.16 of Zencart.
I have installed it and then set up stock values for each attribute, however you can still checkout with variations which are out of stock, for example;
Army Camo Jacket
10 Total
5 Medium
5 Large
I can't checkout with more than 10, thats fine.
But I can checkout with 6 Medium.
How can I Fix this?
Stock config:
Check stock level- True
Subtract stock- True
Allow Checkout- False
Show stock when low- True
Hello, problem here.
ZC 1.3.7 fresh (test installation with demo data)
Stock by Attributes 4.4
Admin config:
allow checkout false
show stock when low true
I set up a product with 1 attribute (checkbox) with 3 values, assigned each of them quantity 1, so total quantity is 3.
My product:
Product Qty Minimum: 1
Product Qty Maximum: 0
Product Qty Units: 1
Product Qty Min/Unit Mix: yes
When I buy the product, if I select only 1 attribute, everything is ok. If I select 2 attributes, I obtain the low level alert and quantity available 0.
If I select 1st attribute, then go back to product page, select the second, then go back to product page and select the third, I've three products in my cart, one for each attribute and this would be ok, but selecting all the attributes in one step cause the alert to come out.
What's happening?
Unfortunately no url, just testing at office.
It seems to me that there's a problem with checkbox attributes.
in functions_lookups.php
function zen_get_products_stock processes the $attributes variable passed as argument in this way:
if(is_array($attributes) and sizeof($attributes) > 0){
....
then
$query = 'select products_attributes_id from '.TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES.' '.$first_search.' and products_id="'.$products_id.'" order by products_attributes_id';
$attributes_new = $db->Execute($query);
at this point we have an array with products_attributes_id
then
while(!$attributes_new->EOF){
$stock_attributes[] = $attributes_new->fields['products_attributes_id'];
$attributes_new->MoveNext();
}
if(sizeof($stock_attributes) > 1){
$stock_attributes = implode(',',$stock_attributes);
} else {
$stock_attributes = $stock_attributes[0];
}
$stock_query = 'select quantity as products_quantity from '.TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK.' where products_id = "'.(int)$products_id.'" and stock_attributes="'.$stock_attributes.'"';
the problem is $stock_attributes = implode(',',$stock_attributes);
because this code is executed even if I selected only 2 values of the same checkbox attribute and when this occurs, $stock_attributes value is something like '14,15' but of course if they're 2 values of the same checkbox attribute they won't be stored in TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK in this way.
So the result of the last query will be 0, and the quantity will be 0- product_quantity, --> always marked as out of stock.
Ok, discovered the problem, now searching the solution. Any help is appreciated.
I totally changed the approach to what I was trying to achieve: possibility to manage product with sub-products, so customers may buy the whole product or some sub-products (if bought some subproducts, then next customer would have the possibility to buy the 'whole' product but without sub-products already bought).
I achieved this by implementing some mods in categories management in admin (already heavily modified for other functionalities) and just 1 extra function and some mods in tpl_modules_product_listing.php.
Of course sub-products must have no attributes.
The 'whole' product in effect doesn't exist, it's a category containing all sub-products. But if the customer access this kind of category, he will find both products list and a "buy all available products" button which puts all products of that category in the cart (with max quantity available for each product, since this was asked to me).
For these reasons I stop working on checkbox issue.
Has anybody else had any issues with this on v1.3.7. Need to know before I install it!
Thought I read somewhere that it was going to be packaged as part of 1.3.6
Something like it is scheduled to be part of the v1.4 release. See the Roadmap up in Announcements.
Ok so currently i have the product installed and adding each stock you know green xl I have 1 yada yada yada. If I dont have say White XXL when someone selects the color is there a way to not show XXL in the other drop down?
[FONT=Century Gothic]Hi guys, [/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]I have a need to control stock by attributes, but my requirement is a little different to most others in that I need to control one ‘pool’ of stock, with various attributes..[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]I sell grain in my shop which I buy in 25Kg sacks. My attributes are set in a drop-down so that you could by 0.25kg, 1Kg, 0.5Kg etc. [/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]So if someone came and bought that lot, my stock level would need to show 23.75Kg left in stock based on stock from just one sack (i.e. not separate sources for each product in the drop down)[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]Will this module deal with this?[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]Cheers[/FONT]
DJDex , do u have this installed on v1.3.7, if so is everything working ok for you?

For your total stock, you would enter the units available - I suspect that would be 100 x .25kg
Not sure if it is smart enough to do it as cleanly as you would like - I know there was someone on here a while back looking to sell bulk tea, but I don't for the life of me recall if they posted in the stock by attribute family of threads.
Good Luck to you.

For ref, this thread details how you set up ZC to deal with quantities being sold to a certain number of decimal places...

What is happening is the items with attributes are showing out of stock when selecting. Also the Attrributes page for the item (in site admin) has no fields for entering different stock numbers for the items.
I am sure that tis should not be so . . . .
I am also slightly convinced that its something about the template files as well (or not!!)

(PS - rolled all of the changes back to at least have a working site).
Thanks - but PLEASE HELP!
Pardon for jumping in here, but I've got a question about installing Sock by Attribute on ZC 1.3.7.
This mod's Readme says that it was prepared for 1.3.6, and most of the files it replaces have been updated in 1.3.7.
I'd like to have this feature in the store I'm setting up, but should I wait for its author to update the mod before installing it?
Thanks!
Ok, I'm tripping. The mod is version 4.4 for 1.3.7, and the Readme file was the one from 4.3 (ZC 1.3.6), hence it was the Readme that was out of date, not the mod. The author of this mod probably should update that.
Please can someone help me out with this, I'm going crazy reading through all the threads/posts trying to find the answer :cry:
I guess something isn't set up right, it is supposed work right?
If it isn't - can someone put me out of my misery and tell me, please.
Below is my original post.

HI.. I am running version 1.3.7 and have installed the latest of stock by attributes(4.4). When I go through admin->catalog->product with attributes stock
I 've added a product that has attributes both for size and color. When I go to the product with attributes stock manager the only option that shows in the color, I don't get the size option.
for example:
1 Size 5 shirt in red quantity in stock = 3
1 Size 8 shirt in blue quantity in stock =4
and so forth.
Did I perhaps download the wrong mod?
Thanks in advance!
~Renee:lamo:
I have figured out my problem!!!!!!! NOT ENOUGH COFFEE. I am so sorry and now that I have actually added the sizes to my product in the attribute panel everything works properly. :wink2:
Wonderful add on buy the way!!
As always Thank you!!
~Renee
I read through the posts and I'm not quite clear on this: If I install the latest version on 1.3.7 must all current products with attributes have stock for each attribute?
Or can I select individually which products with attributes are affected by this mod?
Thanks
Ok 1 quick question :) When copying one product with attributes by stock added to it to another category and duplicating attributes does everything carry over?
For instance if I order a product from the copied item listing, does it detract the quantity from the original item listing that I added the stock by attributes to ?
Thanks!
~Renee

If you go to admin->catalog->then at the very bottom you will see Product with attributes stock. Click that and you will see what you need to get started!
Also be sure you add all of your normal attributes to each product as normal before doing this step :) Hope that helps!!

The problem that I face is
Whenever I place an item in the cart that has attributes by stock it shows up as being out of stock even though it is stated in both admin>catalogue/product and admin>catalogue>Product with attributes stock as having the correct amount of stock that I have.Quote:
by crabacle in a previous post
What is happening is the items with attributes are showing out of stock when selecting. Also the Attrributes page for the item (in site admin) has no fields for entering different stock numbers for the items.
I have temporarily fixed this problem by changing the admin>stock>check stock level to false.
I don't in particular like this fix as now when I place more of a particular item in the cart than I actually have in stock it will proceed with the checkout even though there is insufficent stock to cover the order, and what is worse is that there is no indication to the customers, telling them that is only x amount of product in stock.
eg;
I may have 12 of a particular product in stock
3x white - small
3x white - medium
6x white - large
If a person adds 4 x white - small, then I have insuffient stock to cover order, yet the cart will allow the order to go through even I have set admin>stock>allow checkout to false and this is because the backend is not recognising the stock attributes for some reason. It is still treating stock as though this mod isn't installed.
Now because I have the check stock level set to false the other setting below in bold don't even enter into the equation I may as well not have them there.
below are my setting in admin for stock
Check stock level false (this used to set to true before mod install)
Subtract stock true
Allow Checkout false
Mark product out of stock ***
Stock Re-order level 2
Show stock when low false
Products status in Catalog when out of stock should be set to 1
Show Sold Out Image in place of Add to Cart 1
Product Quantity Decimals 0
Show Shopping Cart - Delete Checkboxes or Delete Button 3
Show Shopping Cart - Update Cart Button Location 3
Show New Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 1
Show Featured Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 2
Show Special Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 3
Show Upcoming Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 4
Sorry for the long winded explanation but hopefully someone will be able to understand and suggest a better resolution as this mod is an excellent concept and would be better appreciated if I could get it to work properly.
BTW, I am running Zen 1.3.7
Thanks a bunch for any assistance!!
:down: Sorry to bump this, but I really could do with some help here. :sadwalk:
Very strange I don't have that problem at all with the addon for 1.3.7. But I have run into this problem: I have disabled the show product inventory and it is still showing the number that I have added to each size in the stock by attributes add on section. Is there a way to turn this off when using the add on?
Thanks!
~Renee
Fixed mine by doing this:
This one is in admin > catalog > product types > general > at the right is "edit layout" > select this and then find the weight entry and set to off "0"\
Thanks again. ~Renee
heavenlynights post the url so someone can look a the problem as well :)
How do I get the product Quantity in Stock value to show by attribute on the product pages. I have search the for this with no luck.
frogster,
i dont think this module can do that.
maybe somebody can recommend how to extract these amounts to display for you.
it requires additional modifications.Quote:

I've asked this in another tread. I was referred to the middle of this tread, but the answer is only partially complete and I'm not great with PHP.
What i need to do is add Sold out beside the attribute if its stock level is 0.
So thats for radiobuttons, check boxes or dropdowns.
I know somebody in here has been able to do it :yes:
If so can you please PM me your attributes file, because I cant get my head around it.
woodlandsprite
Thanks for the info. Found a fix at wiki but the fills they say to modify do not match the new files in zen-cart so could not get it to work at all. Some one must have gotten the stock amount to show in the product pages for this new version. Hope someone can steer me in the righ direction.
[QUOTE=frank_lyy;293871]First, a little bug that I found in your new release by using beyond compare with older ones.
In functions_lookups.php on line 163:
should've been:
Next, I applied a fix by Grayson posted in archived threads to show qty of attributes on product info page. For those who still having trouble with this fix, I am including the attributes.php file here. You may drop it in includes/modules/your_template/ folder.
I am also including another alternative version of this fix (I take no credit whatsoever on this), which shows attribute stock after price_fix and weight etc. display, which makes more sense to myself, becasue this way customer won't confuse stock level with quantity discounts/surcharges. This alternative file is called attributes_Alternative.php. You need to rename it to attributes.php to overwrite the existing one when using.
Don't forget to add a define to the product_info.php in includes/languages/english/your_template folder, such as:
I found the fix I was looking for post # 46 Thanks Frank for the great post the patch file did just what i wanted it to and that was to add product stock to the product pages.Quote:
[define('TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES','pieces');/QUOTE]. I use 'in stock' instead of 'pieces', for it makes more sense.
Now, I need help for myself!! I tried hard to set a "display only" option value such as " select from below" to NOT show stock level, which is a conditional undone of the above fix in attributes.php. I tried codes as follows, but no luck:
This block of codes were applied after the "// prepare product options details" section and before "//radio buttons" section.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
This should be in the same spot as well underneth I believe ?:) ~Renee
Hello,
I've a solution for adding Sold Out on the attribute if the stock of it is 0.
It works for dropdown boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes.
I've modified kuroi's attributes.php file, adding the suggestions of other people and figuring it out for dropdowns.
- First you need to add this to:
includes\languages\english\custom\product_info.php
if product_info.php is not there it will be in
includes\languages\english\product_info.php
Once you have added the below move the file to your custom directory
PHP Code:define('TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK',' Sold Out');
- I've changed the function "function zen_draw_pull_down_menu" in includes\functions\html_output.php
PHP Code:function zen_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {
$field = '<select name="' . zen_output_string($name) . '"';
$soldout = "";
if (zen_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;
$field .= '>' . "\n";
if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);
for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {
/* Added by TB on 16/2/2007 */
/*need to check if Sold Out occurs in the option tag for the dropdown*/
if(strpos($values[$i]['text'], "Sold Out")) $soldout = 'class ="red bold"';
else $soldout = "";
$field .= ' <option '.$soldout.' value="' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['id']) . '"';
if ($default == $values[$i]['id']) {
$field .= ' selected="selected"';
}
$field .= '>' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>')) . '</option>' . "\n";
}
$field .= '</select>' . "\n";
if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;
return $field;
}
- Then I modified kuroi's attributes.php file. Located in
includes\modules\custom\attributes.php.
See attached. Rename your old one to something like attributes.php-old and upload this one.
- Then I added the class .red to my stylesheet, which just sets color:red
If anybody cares to try this in a test environment for me after they have installed the stock by attributes module.
Please let me know how it goes. It should work, works for me, but no guarantees.
Quote:
Then I added the class .red to my stylesheet, which just sets color:red
Wow, I've been wanting this feature for a long time. I followed all of these steps and the "Sold Out" displays correctly. The only thing is that my text isn't red or bold.
hi,
have you added the style to your custom stylesheet and for the radio buttons and check boxes i wrapped TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK in attributes.php in span tags with the class red and bold
I actually spoke too soon. I checked some other pages and noticed that adding this mod knocks out my color dropdown choices. It just returns a blank dropdown so I had to revert back.
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:
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:

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.

- 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:

This really isn't a feature request, but more of a "Is this possible?" question.
Say I have an attribute called 6.5 (for size 6.5) and a linked category called 6.5.
Is it possible to modify the product listing SQL such that it will only list products in category 6.5 where the stock by attribute quantity for 6.5 is greater than 0?
It seems simple enough, but i'm not too familiar with the Zen core functionality.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I am so confused by this mod...
I don't have all the stock levels entered yet and on some items if you try to order it, it tells you it's out of stock, on other's it doesn't say anything.
example 1
small= 1
large=2
so someone tries to order a medium (which isn't entered in yet), and sometimes the cart will let them checkout, other times it will say it's out of stock.
Doesn't make sense to me that it isn't doing the same thing everytime for every item.
Thanks for your reply Kuroi.Quote:

I have double checked all of these file and found that the "includes/classes/order.php" is the only file that has had changes to the original).
I have attached all includes/classes/order.php files from 1. server, 2. original 1.3.7 and 3. SBA 4.4 (I have renamed them in the zip to identify files easily
File refs in zip!
order_on_server.php - file currently on the server, which is not the mod file or orginal file. Must have come from a different mod, not sure which one, but the changes note that you had something to do with it
order_original137.php - is obviously the original from the latest version of zen
order_sba.php - is the one from Stock_By_Attribute 4.4 version
I don't know a great deal about code and wouldn't know if any of these changes in the file would make the mod fall over. If you or someone wouldn't mind having a little look and compare, I would much appreciate it.
The code changes are in 2 sections of the file order_sba.php located around lines 694 (section 1) and 747 (section 2)
TIA and much appreciate any help!!
Hi im in need of a little help again :blush:
I want to take the weight off the drop down menu so customers cant see it.
Here is what i mean:
http://www.thefishkrib.com/ima.jpg
Its easier to show you a picture.
Thanks for your help.
:D
So I have following attributes fex. "small white", "medium black" and then we have different attributes for shippings fex. EU, Asia, Usa. We do not want to use shipping modules at all (btw is there a way to remove the whole page from checkout..?) and we want to display full prices including shippings with every product. So is there a way to use this mod with the size attributes only.. since now I need to set up like "small white" + Asia =qty which is totally absurd and doesn't obviously work in the long run.. many thanks
I am running 1.3.7 and installed this and ran the query but I get
Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_get_index_filters_directory() in /store/includes/modules/pages/index/header_php.php on line 49
How do I fix this?
I just installed this Mod and seeing one issue. I tried searching this forum but can't find an answer.
I have one attribute 'size' for all of my products as radio button. When I add a product to the Cart it does not require the 'size' option to be chosen and thus I'm able to add a product to the Cart without size. How do I make the size attribute as required. I tried the Attribute flag 'required for text' but it did not work.
Any help on this would be great
I don't know if is possible to make the attribute required, but you can force one of them to be "selected" which should cue your customers to select the appropriate value.Quote:

I am having trouble with this bit. I found the section of code and simply copied and pasted. But I get an error when I go to my site. I have removed it for the time being. I didn't think to copy the error message but it was something about line 501.
I've done everything else though. Would there be any problems if I don't undo what I've done without the html_output.php file?Quote:

I was able to get it to partially work, it would only display items
in stock with a radio button.
Any input? I have followed and tested many ideas, but nothing
worked. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi i Have jusy upgraded to the latest version 1.3.7
Prior to this the stock sttributes was working a dream for me.
Afer upgrading it dissapeared form my admin, still showed on live site though??
Contacted the person who did upgrade and they sorted it but.... and this is abig but
it isn't actually doing the stock control.If I have say two t-shirts one in pink and one in white checkout will let me go through, and pay, for 10 t-shirts of each???
Any ideas what has gone wrong, please keep it in simple terms though I ain't technical minded!
I have a feeling I am going to have pay someone to tfix this if it is too complicated though.:(
there was a guide how to display quantity in to dropdown for attributes some posts ago.. it works fine but I'd need the same with radios or checkboxes.. is it possible to make? or just pull up a list in text format what attributes (sizes) are left so people wouldn't need to pull down the list to see if there's their size left...
Hi,
What I would love is when I'm in the admin page to add a quantitiy for product variant, I would like to stay on that page to add extra quanities and to know what quantities to each attribute I've already added to the product.
Is there any way of doing this with the current mod?
I'm not sure I've seen the modification posted to this thread, but in the original stock by attribute for zencart 1.2x had a modification by Grayson that worked with radio buttons or checkboxes I believe.Quote:

Great Mod, only one thing i can't get around. If i have a LRG Green shirt and as a option they can buy a tie with it for 15 bucks. Will with the quanity i have to add 50 for Lrg Green with tie and 50 for Large Green without tie. Is there a way to make a attribute not part of the quanity selection.
Thanks,
Brad
I downloaded and installed Stock By Attribute 4.4 and everything seems to be working. However, we are having issues with it allowing customers to check out with more items than are available without giving our "insufficient stock" message. Customers who try to check out with more than the total quantity of all the attributes get the usual error message. It may be easier to give an example.
I have an item at http://bodybangles.net/index.php?mai...oducts_id=2350
that has 5 colors - I have 4 in stock of each color - for a total quantity of 20. If a customer chooses 5 of any particular color, they do not get an "Insufficient Stock" message as they should, because there are only 4 in stock. It is only after I place 21 in the cart that I get an "insufficient stock" message. It appears that the program is not checking individual stock - only total.
Just out of interest - earlier in this thread there was some discussion about the Grayson posts - does anyone know which archived thread these were posted in?
They would be in the old discussion on the very original modification for stocks by attribute on version 1.2.x of Zencart.Quote:
