Units in Stock - number not decreasing

[rgriffith98]

I only want to sell a limited quantity per product. However, the number is not decreasing when items are sold. Is there something I missed while setting it up or do I have to change it manually.

Check your settings in the Configuration ... Stock ... make sure you are setup properly for this ...

[rgriffith98]

I believe that I have everything set up right....But I dont know which one I would need to change at this point.

Perhaps if you post all of your settings someone could help you further ...

By default, Downloads are not tracked on stock ...

However ...

If you ONLY sell Downloads ... there is a way ... but if you sell anything that has to be shipped ... this would break your shipping ...

IF you ONLY sell Downloads and want to track stock, you can mark them as Virtual Products ...

NOTE: Downloads are NEVER marked as Virtual Products ...

However, to track stock on sites that are ONLY Downloads and have NO Products for shipping, you can use the Virtual Product YES as a method to track stock ...

Do NOT do this on a site that sell both Downloads and Products that Ship ... or you will be doomed ...

I have the same issue. When I enter a download in I always check virtual so that it doesn't ask for shipping.
Mine don't adjust either.
I would love to have help on this too.
I know that there is other sites that have it set for just a certain # of downloads.
TY in advance for any assistance

Okay ... I goobered up on that one ... it worked for something else I wrote for a client ...

Now for the real way to make Downloads track ...

Customize the order class file:
/includes/classes/order.php

Find the lines:

          // do not decrement quantities if products_attributes_filename exists
          if ((DOWNLOAD_ENABLED != 'true') || $stock_values->fields['product_is_always_free_shipping'] == 2 || (!$stock_values->fields['products_attributes_filename']) ) {

Change to read:

          // do not decrement quantities if products_attributes_filename exists
          if (true || (DOWNLOAD_ENABLED != 'true') || $stock_values->fields['product_is_always_free_shipping'] == 2 || (!$stock_values->fields['products_attributes_filename']) ) {

NOTE: Downloads are NEVER Virtual Products ... Downloads are NEVER Always Free Shipping ... Downloads "know" that they do not need shipping ...
