Stock by Attribute v4.0 addon for v1.3.5-1.3.9

[mrmarcus66]

I am looking for solutions for a friend of mine who wants to list property on a website for people to rent. I wondered if this stock by attribute would allow you to list a property and use availability attributes to allow people to select a set of dates.

My question made simple is does this mod allow you to setup availability of attributes?

You could do this by setting up each availability range as an attribute and then assigning each an attribute stock of '1'.

That would work, but it really feels like a taking a sledgehammer to a nut. I feel that there must be a better solution and just wish that I could think of it!

Hello I have 2 questions:

1. When is ZenCart version 1.4 expected to be released? :)

2. I have installed Kuroi's Stock By Attribute 4.5 into my zencart 1.3.7.1 successfully. I then wanted to be able to show stock quantities in the product page. I only have one attribute for my products: colour. I am using a drop-down list with my colours. I would really like to see stock quantities listed alongside each colour value, eg. red (3 in stock), blue (12 in stock)....
I followed Kuroi's suggestion and went to the #1 FAQ in the Wiki for Stock By Attributes, and followed the instructions for Grayson's mod.
For some reason, nothing has changed! Help! I still don't see any stock quantities by attribute (even though I have entered them). I do see the global "you have 20 items in stock" for the entire product line, but not for each individual attribute.

Thank you for any help!

The Zen Cart team don't give out dates for future releases. They have to fit them around their other work and would rather deliver software that works than meet a deadline.

I'm afraid that I've never actually installed this solution myself, but there are posts in this and other stock attribute threads from people who have explaining what problems they faced and how they overcome them.

I'm not sure whether the above also answers your issue. If not could you provide more details of the situation with which you are trying to cope.

Thanks for taking the time to ask.

What i was trying to do is this.
I sell skateboard parts. The deck is the wooden top piece (sorry if you know dont want to sound like your stupid) well they have griptape fitted tot he top. When we sell one we give free griptae with each order, cheap stuff but free all the same.
What i want to do is have a drop down selection giving the user chance to upgrade there tape at a minimal cost.
SO
Deck <Free Tape Loose
< Free Tape Fitted
< Upgrade Option 1 + £2.50 Fitted
< Upgrade Option 1 + £2.50 Loose
< Upgrade Option 2 +£3.00 Fitted
< Upgrade Option 2 + £3.00 Loose

Now if i use these options in a drop down menu "Stock by Attributes" wants a value for each option making 6 in total but i may only have 1 deck of that type in stock.

Want i need is a way of tell SBA that the option are 0 value does that make sense and is it possible ?

Cheers for taking the time to read this.

Hi Big_Woody

I may finally have an answer for you, though you will have to work out if it will work for you. Version 4.6 of Stock by Attribute allows you to decide for each individual product whether stock will be managed at product level or attribute level.

In the above case this would mean that you could have stock by attributes installed, but not create stock records for any of the attributes you listed above. This would mean that you would enter the product quantity for the deck as 1 and that's what would be used for calculating stock at checkout.

This does however, assume that you would always have tape available, but since you need tape for all your options, that doesn't seem unreasonable.

It's in the downloads queue awaiting approval.

Please don't laugh at me for asking this - I've been searching everywhere and can't find an answer.

I want to download this add-on but where do I download it to? I can't find any info on where I should save this to.

Thanks for any help.

OK Ignore my above post - I manage to get the file installed but....

I'm really struggling here and have spent about 6 hours searching posts and wiki but I'm getting more and more confused about things. I'm having the same problem as a lot of other people but I still can't find a solution. The problem is I have a particular bead available in 4 colours. I've been able to set the attribute stock levels but if I have 4 aqua and 10 of the other 3 colours it is still possible to order 6 aqua.

There's so much information on the instructions and I don't know which bits are relevant to the versions I'm using. For example I've seen things about 'merging' and 'check if any of the files have changed' - how do I know?

So please please help me because I've wasted so much time that I don't have, I don't understand what I need to do so if anybody can help can you tell me in really simple easy to understand instructions and walk me through exactly what I need to do and maybe even how?

My version of Zen Cart is: 4.4.6 and I downloaded what I presume is the most recent version of this add-on.
