one product, multiple colors / stock qty

[NullMind]

I am trying to see how is this done

I have 1 product .. on that product I have

2 red
2 blue
1 gree

do I have to setup that product 3 times, or is there a different way to do it so the user selects which color he wants it, and show the stock available on that colou ?

Check downloads section on ZenCart website for contributions under "Other Modules". I believe there are two contributed modules that address this problem in slightly different ways.

One is at
zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=310

another is at
zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=212

Before you start, you may want to search the Community Contributions section of this forum for topics containing the contribution names. It seems to me there are a lot of outstanding issues from using these contributions so proceed with caution.
