Inventory Updater...

[simon1066]

This looks great and what I have been looking for, my only feedback would be the category list, I have a large list of categories and sub categories and some sub sub categories. The list order in the dropdown can make it hard to find the category that I am looking, is there any way that it could be placed into the store category order?

Yes, ideally incorporating the category structure from the dropdown on admin/category_product_listing.php, which uses this code:

echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath', zen_get_category_tree(), $current_category_id, 'onchange="this.form.submit();" class="form-control"');

I had a look but the code changes required are a bit beyond me.

i see what you are talking about... it's a good point, and worth addressing in a new release....

if it only involved that code. sub sub categories will take some thinking about how best to do this....

ok, a new version has been submitted for approval.

thanks to both @jcrennan and @simon1066 for pointing out the problem and the proposed fix.

hope you find the new version more useful. i did incorporate a small change so that one can see all products in sub-categories of a particular category. you can always select the sub-category to see only those products. sub-sub categories require selecting that category, or 1 level above. hopefully once approved, and you play with the changes you will see what i mean.

new version is now available here:

https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2279

makes better use of the ZC category tree structure.

constructive critiques are always welcome.

sorry, jimmie, i currently do not have the time to provide support for something like this.

barcodes require a new class and validation to be done properly as one needs to validate check digits on them (at least for UPCs and EANs).

I had it easier with my standalone utility since I was the only one using it! :-)

Great Module. How hard would it be to modify it to show inventory stock on attributes??

thanks for the props!

with regards to your question, i have no idea.

ZC does not come out of the box with an inventory stock with attributes. so now we are talking about a plugin. which plugin? i see a few different SBA plugins.... but its hard to tell which is the one that most people are using. or what it does.

i have not really played with attributes, as i chose to rely on the base ZC for inventory type functions.

i have a feeling that the bigger work is getting the SBA plugin working properly, and modifying this module should not be too hard, but i'm only guessing as i do not have a development site running any SBA plugin.

how's that for a waffle?

however, as i tell most people given enough time and money, anything is possible...

best.
