How to make out of stock attributes (T-Shirt sizes) not show up in drop down menu?

Well they should be prepared for the ones that do have different sizes since the "size" attribute doesn't only apply to apparel. Although I'm sure many of the zencart users do use it for clothing sales and have run into this problem judging by the amount of issues we found as we googled this problem. Just seems like a natural thing to me to remove any option of buying a product that is currently not in stock. The other carts we used in the past were much more simple than zen cart and even they employed this idea.

Are they also secure?

Never had an issue over 3 years of use so yeah I'd say so. But I'm no expert so maybe we just got lucky...

I like zen cart, it's just on a whole new level of customization and some of it is a bit hard to figure out.

like right now i have all these out of stock items showing up in "new items" and confusing the hell out of my customers. we installed the new script but it still does it. very annoying. but obviously something wasn't done correctly.

There is a really simple hack out there to make "stock by attributes" work the way you want but I cannot find it right now - I have get back to you tomorrow with the solution as I'm not on my computer right now, hold on :).

Here is the solution :

I've used it on several sites to make "stock by attributes" behave the way I want, which means that it will hide sold out items (attributes) from the drop down menu.

Should be a default setting for sure, I totally agree, but it's not :).

ok cool hopefully i can find a web guy that is able to install this mod and make it work now! my last 2 guys failed out. sat around searching for solutions for days and implementing new codes but no luck still...

zen cart: v1.3.9h

I have added this hack, you can see it here http://www.melianpetsupplies.co.uk/i...roducts_id=329

it is showing stock number available for each product that has been set in 'stock by attributes', but customers are still allowed to order the products that dont have stock amount added

Allow Checkout is set to false, so, products in stock by attributes that have no stock, or not added to list should be disabled and users should not be able to check out, but they can still...

anyone know of any hack that will sort this?

I have had many probs trying to config stock by attribtes, for years, would be good to finally get it nailed
