Stocks by attributes

[creinold]

Ahhh I stand corrected.. I see that there has been quite a bit of movement on this mod by the venerable Numinix.. Had I known this, I might have started using the newer versions of this add on a lot sooner..

Question to creinold:
I can certainly download it and take a look, but I was wondering what version your SBA version was based on.. I see that Numinix has done several updates up to and including the current version available which is numbered 1.4.10, but probably is in fact v 1.4.11.. Hmmm...

My files were original based off of Stock by Attributes v4.7ajax by Kurio for Zen-Cart 1.3.5+ =)

Cleaned up and updated it to meet 1.3.9D Modification changes.

<insert sound of choking> I had nothing to do with the AJAX version, or the multiadd version that preceded it. Those were the releases where it started to go downhill. Very glad to see somebody else helping it back to its feet, dusting it off, helping it back to a righteous path.

Awww... I see =) your name was on the readme file that why I inserted your name. LOL

np. A sign of how little attention was paid when the mod was updated by your predecessors!

Can't criticise people too much for trying though. The mod was in a bit of a sloppy state when I took it on too. But better that than it hadn't been written at all.

But I do agree with Kuroi.. It's awesome to see someone pick this up and REALLY follow through..

this is kinda weird as for my first issue in the attributes drop down it states select size, but you can just byepass this and just click the add to cart button. which will add the product without attributes to the cart.

then in the shopping cart it will state that something is out of stock at the top but in the product list in the cart i have nothing indicating which product is out of stock.

This is not an SBA "issue" rather it's a Zen Cart attribute setup that makes this possible (required attributes). This FAQ article might help:

Do a forum search for required attributes. There are a few good threads that you might find useful.

When out of stock products are added to the cart, the cart looks like this:


Note that you can clearly see which items are the ones out of stock

god i love beyond compare i just took a peek at the code in creinoid's updated files and my files and i was missing the attributes code on the \includes\modules\pages\shopping_cart\header_php.php

$flagStockCheck = zen_check_stock($products[$i]['id'], $products[$i]['quantity'],$attributes);

@creinold Just found a minor text display glitch. One of my products does not have an image. When displaying the product list the image field displayed TEXT_IMAGE_NONEXISTENT instead of an image.
A search using the developers tool kit shows this term appearing in multiple define files.
I figured this means with no common use defined I had to add it specifically to SBA (?)
It worked :)

In file:

admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/products_with_attributes.php

add

define('TEXT_IMAGE_NONEXISTENT', 'No Image Exists');

before php close tag.

Also for consideration for improvement in the how to file:
In the installation section it should read
'There are five core Zen Cart files modified'
because
•admin/includes/stylesheet.css is no longer affected.
