I searched through the code and found where I believe this part is dealt with but I see nothing wrong. It clearly looks to see if the inventory is above 0. Past that, I am at a total loss.

Another user identified a similar issue to an extent, though identified the issue a different way. In the setup provided, a quantity of 1 was displayed as available although 0 was entered. There was a logic error in the zen_products_stock code that caused this issue. It has been resolved in the latest set of files for SBA 1.5.4 and as soon as I have compared the SBA 1.5.3 files against a vanilla install to validate that the only changes are those necessary to support the plugin changes. Haven't since been able to reproduce the problem described. So should be good to go with the newest files for SBA 1.5.4 and soon for SBA 1.5.3.

Plugins uploaded to the ZC site must comply with the ZC plugin submission requirements.

At this time there are two versions of the plugin to support development for each version of ZC (that was setup by potteryhouse/jeking), the other is documentation. On the first part development remains for consistent use of multiple attributes as related to the work previously done for single attributes. On the second part, those two began instruction, but the latest modifications are not yet included.

Sum and total, the code has been in beta format and is available for comment and further improvement; however, has not been considered a product that would be considered fully releaseable for production. It appears to be close to that now, although there are additional features already identified to need incorporation, that could be added in a later revision. In the mean time if submitted, the incomplete aspects would need to be identified to mitigate the deluge of questions associated with how to do this, or how to do that... Understanding that the product was released in an unfinished state...

Okay, I understand that. This particular mod has been the bane of my existence for a very long time now. I'm just glad I don't have many customers who use it.

Well, just so you can get a positive reaction to your work, SBA would make half the functionality of sites I administrate completely impossible (or certainly not possible with my skill level with PHP) without it. Does it have some issues? Sure. But, as I touted before, various people put a bunch of time into this for FREE. Thank all of you very much for your work!

Is there any code available so that the Zen Cart installed search engine will search attributes? I apologize if this has been asked and answered in the other thread, but I could not find anything. And, it may be simple to code, but unfortunately not easy for a half-senile old far like me who, many moons ago, programmed in different languages where the exact same syntax meant something completely different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome, though there are many ways to offer positive support. :)

I don't want to necessarily go everywhere to post this, but figured would post on the two threads that seem to be addressing SBA the most at this point. An updated version of SBA 1.5.3 has been posted to github (https://github.com/potteryhouse/stoc...ttribute_1.5.3) that incorporates the functionality of SBA 1.5.4 for use on ZC 1.5.1.

There remains other/additional changes to be made for improved functionality, features, and consistency throughout..

Not to detract from anyone offering assistance, in the various searches performed (internet and this site) I thought I saw that there was a plugin for ZC 1.3.8 that performed the above desired feature, of course probably needs to have some sort of updating performed to work on the latest ZC. Supposedly there was some commercial product also.

Another alternative is to "list" the attributes in the product description as well which would ensure that SEs would see the information as well as the ZC search engine provided it is allowed to search the product description.

Maybe someone will identify the existence of a plugin that does more of what you are looking for or perhaps offer assistance in developing something.

Thank you for all of your assistance, mc12345678, and your work on SBA. I greatly appreciate it!.

Hello RodG, if I follow you right you suggest merging the files for this mod and then what happens to the executable? Should I be able to go to it and run it as intended? I ended up with the same problem of blank screen on admin login and product pages all screwed up....

Correct. This is no different than any other mod that needs to make changes to the ZenCart 'core' files.

Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean. What executable? What do you mean by 'run it as intended'?

You've kinda lost me. :(

All this is telling me/us is that something isn't right in the merged files. The log files may provide a clue.
