Show Available Stock Level in Cart -- addon Not Functioning in 1.39d?

[haw77]

I just upgraded from 1.37 to 1.39d a couple of weeks ago. When using 1.37, I had "show available stock level in cart when less than order" set to true under Configuration > Stock. It always worked great and customers could see in the shopping cart if they tried to order more than was available and many would order exactly what I had on hand. So, this setting was particularly useful for me.

I just realized that using 1.39d, it no longer lists the available stock in the shopping cart when items are back-ordered, even though "show available stock in cart when less than order" is correctly set in configuration. Can someone tell me if I am missing something?

I upgraded 1.3.8a to 1.3.9abcd and Stock by Attributes 1.4.7 updated to 1.4.9

I had some things 'missing' too - stock available not showing on cart or on product page.

It turned out I also had Product Attributes Grid 1.1.1 on my 1.3.8a site and not on my updated test site. When I added the second mod, everything was as it should be.

I don't know the why's and wherefore's but it worked for me.

doesn't work for me either. anybody know how to fix that issue? i really rely on this particular feature.

i found out what the problem is, but don't know how to solve it.

<?php if ((STOCK_SHOW_LOW_IN_CART == 'true') && $product['flagStockCheck']) {
echo '<span class="alert bold">';
echo PWA_STOCK_AVAILABLE;
echo ((isset($product['stockAvailable'])) ? $product['stockAvailable']: 0);
echo '</span>';
}
?>

The variable $product['flagStockCheck'] is NEVER set even though it should be if the customer has more items in the shopping cart than are available.

^ i was talking about the file tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

Bearing in mind I don't know coding:

I actually in my CUSTOM_TEMP the snippet in your quote. That snippet, I beleive, is part of the Stock By Attributes contribution - I see it the mod files but not in the 1.3.8 or 1.3.9 files.

BUT

There is another line in my CUSTOM_TEMP version:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, 'action=update_product')); ?>

And in the 1.3.9 TEMP_DEFAULT this shows as:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, 'action=update_product', $request_type)); ?>

I just tried in my own test site - when I use the former, and enter more than available stock, I get an error message AND the actual amount that exists in stock.

When I use the latter I get the error message, but NO indication of what is in stock.

That line of code in my CUSTOM_TEMP file also appears to come from the Stock By Attributes mod.

My test site is on PHP 5.2 and I am using zc 1.3.9d and SbyA 1.4.9 (As I said, I don't know code, so I don't know if this will give me grief when my server goes 5.3....but it works on 5.2)

thanks i will try that, but don't you use the new updated fileset of SbyA for 1.3.9d?
