Stocks by attributes

[Vall]

Hello,

I've tried looking for an answer or a solution but could not find it. I'd like to ask if there is any addon that alows you to search based on attributes.

For example I have clothing sizes S, M, L and I want to search for only M, or filter the rest.

If no, could I ask for a quick explanation what's the main problem with that?

Thank you!

This mod can't help you with this. It has nothing to do with searching.

The topic generally has been discussed a number of times, but I don't know of any mod that does it, as a general mod capable of handling any combination of attributes would be very complex and slow. Normally when one of our clients wants to to search by attribute we write custom code based either on attributes or on a new product type with additional product codification to meet the specific needs of the store.

However, this thread is already excessively long just from supporting this mod, so if you need more information about how this can be done, please start a new thread.

I've spent countless hours going over these posts...

Is it true that it is still not possible to either

1- display to the customer the different attribute variations and how many of each are in stock

or

2- disable the attribute option(s) from the respective dropdown menu's that are not in stock.

I have the Stock By attributes module version 4.7Ajax (up from 4.7 multi add) successfully installed.

I saw posts by several members years to months ago asking about this / almost solving this / etc - but with no stated solutions... has anyone figured out how to do this?! Could you point me to contributed modules that can do this?! If i'm asking this in the wrong spot could you lead me to the correct place?!

Thank you for any advice you can extend to me.

This mod out the box does not support this kind of functionality.

Been some talk and possible solutions posted in this and the other Stock by Attributes thread.. You can use the thread search tools to narrow your search to posts in the specific threads.. Don't know if any of these solutions are working or not.. (I haven't personally used any of them..)

Im using Stocks by attributes.. thank you for the contributor...

I have a problem with the inventory of each attributes.
Once someone ordered a particular product(Ex: Product A : Size: 8/27" Inseam), after the payment, it doesn't update the product attributes stock.

So if Size: 8/27" Inseam has 5 in stock, after the purchased have been done the remaining stock should be 4... But the add on doesnt deduct the stock, the remaining stock is still 5. What I am doing right now is updating it manually if someone purchase a particular item.

Hope someone could help me with this problem...

@magoline and @julxz

There are two main possibilities:

if you've installed the AJAX version then you won't have all the files needed - there's lots more about this earlier in the thread (the key missing file is includes/classes/order.php

if you've installed the MultiAdd version, or my version, but not managed to do it properly, i.e. the revised includes/classes/order.php file (yes that one again) hasn't replaced the default Zen Cart one then the mod won't work, and in the way you've described.

See too post #763. A touch embarrassing, but 100% accurate.

To quote a line I heard in a movie once.. "Drop that zero and get yourself a hero"

Let me repeat again, what I have said in this thread (just one page up..)




Of the three flavors of this mod:

1. Kuroi's version 4.7
2. MultiAdd version 4.7
3. Ajax version 4.7

I could never get the last two to work.. and since the contributors of both of these versions (MultiAdd or Ajax) have NOT ONCE supported their version of this mod, I do not use them.

My research of the support threads for SBA (there are two pretty active ones) shows that the MultiAdd and Ajax versions are the ones with MULTIPLE problems. Most of the functional PROBLEMS people have with this mod all come from either the MultiAdd or the Ajax versions of Stock By Attributes.

The ORIGINAL is still the best IMO.. So I use ONLY the version 4.7 of SBA that Kuroi wrote. Why deal with problematic mods which bring VERY little beneficial features to the table??) Kuroi is the ONLY mod author still actively answering questions in these support threads, so for my money this is the ONLY version of Stock By Attributes that I will use. (where are the authors of the troubled Multiadd and Ajax versions of this mod???) However I do like and use the stylesheets from the MultiAdd version because it visually makes a nice seperation between the parent product and the variants. However, THAT'S ALL that I used from that version!

That said if you used Kuroi's version, it's a VERY straight forward install and should work right away.. No hacks or "adjustments" to this mod needed AT ALL! It just works as described..

Kuroi's version of Stocks By Attributes is in the downloads section where you found the (IMO) half/non working MultiAdd and Ajax versions of this mod. The downloads preserves previous versions of add ons below the most current submissions. So if you scroll down and you will see version 4.7 (WITHOUT MultiAdd or Ajax after the version number) and a download link for that version.

ETA
Let me just add the link -- some folks have a hard time "finding" previous versions in the add-on section: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=download_contrib&contrib_id=310&update_id=9

I'm using the newest version of Zencart and the newest version of this mod, I've also got the Multiadd and I think I've added all the right files.

Problem I'm having is, I've got the stock attributes with stock levels and those are working fine, but in the shop the attributes box is empty, so it's not displaying s,m,l,xl,xxl etc I'm sure it's something simple but I've been through this thread and can't find something specifically relating to my issue.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
