I understand where you are coming from. Zen Cart 1.x's attribute handling is abysmal. Obviously 2.0.0 is now two years overdue, we were all expecting it a long time ago and its vastly enhanced attribute functionality will be of great benefit to someone like yourself.

i'd love to see this mod as a permanent box or only pops up if an attribute is out of stock the add to cart box in the product info page that way people can subscribe to the notification if they see your are out of stock a specific size that they want. how much would that cost to do? $$$
I'm afraid that I don't have time or motivation to rewrite the software to work with third party Stock Attributes modules and we no longer do custom Zen Cart development, but I'm sure if you posted a request on the help wanted forum someone could add the dynamic lookups and have the button display for out of stock attribute-based products.

You could have a permanent box displayed easily enough by modifying the zen_get_buy_now_button() function further to always add a button, however the current functionality is designed for products without attributes and subsequently only records the Product ID/Name and not the attributes currently selected by the customer. You'd have to add some nifty JavaScript lookups to record the specific attribute information as well. You'd then have to modify the database and admin notification scripts appropriately. Quite a bit of work really.

Sorry I don't have more positive news for you than that but hopefully you can find the help you need in the help wanted forum.

All the best..
