product_model based on attributes

[milksamsa]

I'm in desperate need of modding my 1.2.x zen store in order to insert in the ORDERS table a custom products_model related to the attribute bought by customers....

Let's say I sell T-shirts:

Products:
V-shaped Tshirts: product_model field is filled with "001"
Round-neck Tshirts: product_model field is filled with "002"

Attributes might be:
Red (an additional attribute_model field is filled with "red")
Green (an additional attribute_model field is filled with "green")

I would like the product_model stored in the Orders table to be "001red" if a customer decides to buy a red V-shaped tshirt.

Could someone please help me find out which files to modify or at least point me to the right direction?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Milk.

What you want is "stock by attribute" and this is not a current feature of Zen Cart.

Supposed to be added in a later release. No solution for the time being.

Maybe somebody could help me find the proper page to modify...
Where does the "Insert" into ORDERS table occur?
There I might populate the products_model field with the result of (eg.):

Whole_products_model=("Products.products_model" + "Attributes.product_model").

Search here for "stock by attributes" for additional detail

Thank you Kobra, but I guess I JUST need to know where the INSERT statement takes place...that's all...

I don't need to check the level of stocks by attribute...
Does anybody know where does INSERT INTO ORDERS take place?

You can use the Developer's Toolkit in Admin > Tools to locate the file and line where a particular string occurs. Enter a relevant snippet and select "All Files" to find all instances; then you can bring up promising files to examine more closely.
