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

[Robbyn7]

The issue I'm having is I have to manually reduce the quantity in stock when an order is placed. I thought this was done automatically by this Mod? Am I missing something?
I'm using Zencart vs.1.37. I installed the Products with Attributes Stock Mod on 04/07.

Here is my setup in Admin:
Check Stock Level = True
Subtract Stock = True
Allow Checkout = False

Should I update to the latest Mod submitted?

Thanks for any help?

Sounds like a different description of the installation issue referred to in post #308. You may as well install the latest version (just copy the files over, no database changes needed) as it offers you an additional option with no downside, and I suspect that you will need to re-install the files anyway.

Hi Kuroi,
I re-installed the files as you suggested and it's now subtracting the stock but I noticed after deleting an order, I checked the box to add the item back to stock but it didn't. Oh well, no biggie. Just glad it's working.

Thanks for all your help.

This is true. There is no automatic stock replenishment for deleted orders.

Alright, another stock-by-attribute question -- unfortunately I think I might already know the answer, but I want to double-check!

I have products with multiple attributes. Can I stock by only one of those attributes?

For example, we have titanium barbells in different lengths. Our stock number should be associated with the length. We also, however, custom-anodize these pieces, so we have an attribute drop-down for titanium color options. Is there a way to stock by the length, but NOT by the color?

Unfortunately not.

I didn't realize that every product had to have a quantity when I installed this mod.

Having a store with too many products with lots of attributes allready makes this mod to hard to deal with.

How can I either,

1) Make it so that everything defaults to a high quantity

or

2) Uninstall this mod - or at least make it so that it doesn't make all of my products out of stock anymore.

One thought I was thinking of if it cannot be uninstalled is allow checkout if its out of stock and delete the Red box that says so... If so, which files do I edit?

Every product has to have a quantity in Zen Cart, whether you have this mod installed or not, even if that quantity is zero.

Are you using a version of this mod prior to 4.6 when you needed to enter attribute stock for each product that had attributes or else the product stock was treated as zero. If so, you may want to upgrade, because that's no longer the case. Now you enter attribute stock only for those products where you want to manage stock at attribute level and then only for those attribute combinations that are non-zero.

However, if you want to uninstall it, a list of the files that have been overwritten is included in the Stock by Attribute readme and on the Wiki page specifically so that you know which ones to replace from your original Zen Cart release package.

Oh. ok that should have been obvious.

Thanks.

Hi Robbyn7,

Were you able to resolve the problem you identified? If so, how did you resolve the problem? I'm having the same problem with the mod not reducing the inventory count when an order is placed. It reduces the total inventory count but the attribute inventory remains constant and has to be manually reduced. Everything else is working fine. I have reinstalled the mod several times with no success. I am using the latest Zen Cart with version 4.7 Products with Attribute mod.
