HELP!! The 'Stock' menu item in 'Configuration' Menu has Disappeared!

[shaunb]

Hi all,

Just noticed the other day, on my website, whether the item is in stock or not, it is allowing customers to add them to thier basket. Now i was going to go to Configuration->Stock and amend the values in there but when i went to go there, the Stock option was not in the list, anyone know which files i need to replace or amend to get it back there again?

Thanks

Shaun

Are you running Admin Profiles?

If not, this could be very tricky to fix, since the configuration menu entries are obtained from your database, so there may be other things missing too, and specific actions couldn't be safely recommended without knowing the full picture. A starting point would be to install a clean version of Zen Cart somewhere else and compare the entries in the configuration_group table with those in your Zen Cart's database.

The first time i noticed it was after installing this mod:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=739

Dont know if this was definatley the problem though. Really need to get this back! But dont really know how to reinstall zen cart.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hmmm. Took a look at the mod's code and thought, "no, surely not". So went off, copied an existing database and ran the installation SQL against it.

Prior to creating a new stock, yes, it does appear to delete the stock menu page, and all the settings associated with it, which to me just seems like a really bad idea.

It then creates a new group called "stock configuration" into which it inserts SAGE export specific settings.

I suspect that the intention was to transfer existing stock settings to this page, but it doesn't actually do so.

I recommend looking for a support thread for this mod which may address the issue. If it doesn't, post back here and we'll see if your database can be patched to make these settings available to you again.

Oh, and the uninstall script won't help either, as that only takes out what the mod puts in, but doesn't put back what it took out!
