Oh! I don't think of the combination of the attributes.
Then a table lists all the combination will be better. But the table may be quite large.

I have to agree with greenteagod's point, though he didn't state it as I believe he meant: with this module, a customer is allowed to add items to the cart when the store is out of stock in that product/attribute combination. Without this module, ZC can be configured to disallow adding of a product when that product is out of stock.Quote:

Customers can be prevented from checking out w/ out of stock items by choosing that option in the admin area:
Configuration->Stock->Allow Checkout
That prevents customers from checking out when the stock quantity is zero with or without this module.
As a customer, I want to be told a product is unavailable before I go to buy it. Don't waste my time by allowing me to add something to my cart that isn't available. Think like a user, make the store user-friendly. (More on user-friendly here.)
Again, that's not possible without extensive modifications of the core scripts.Quote:

You have to add it to your cart first before knowing it is out of stock.
Example: Size and color.
Let's say you have a matrix like this
Blue big - 0
Blue Small - 5
Green big - 5
Green small - 0
Now... there are two dropdowns. Customer selects Big. How would the system know to disable Green? The only way for that to happen would be either a page refresh (and a db query) or some use of AJAX. That's a pretty big addition.
Agreed and agreed. Landing on the mooon was tough, too. Don't get me wrong: I like your contribution. I just would like to have it all. B)Quote:

Perhaps you and milosh (who seems to have solved the issue for individual product/attribute combinations) can work together to get something working for multiple combinations.
Is there a way to call the stock information of the attributes to be displayed on the page? Wether or not you can actually disallow a customer to add it to the cart, there should be a way to access the information about the stock per attribute, no?
Probably the best thing you can do then to make it user frienclly is to have your cart configured so that when an item is added it immediately takes you to the cart. The customer will then have the added key stroke of having to delete the item, but the knowledge is immediate. When the customer hits "Continue" from this page it takes them back to the page they were on, OK 2 extra key strokes. My cart was already set up this way, which is probably why I couldn't get my brain around what was being asked :)Quote:

Has anyone installed this in a 1.2.5 store or is it only for 1.2.6?
Thanks,

I wld like to make a suggestion, is it possible do the followings:Quote:

Green small - 0

1. display 1 attribute first (eg. Size attribute)
2. user select a particular size (eg. Big)
3. auto refresh page (and a db query), display the 2nd attribute (Color in this case), which in this instance, the 2nd attribute display only "Green" since "Blue" is out of stock for size "Big".
Just sharing my thought, not sure how challenging programmatically that is.
Great mod. dafonz.
Has anyone used this mod in conjunction w/ the Quick Updates mod?
Audra
stupid question. really stupid.
where on earth do i create this table? in a text file? where do i put it? :blink:
