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

[Pompidompie]

I have now downloaded that one.
I have no experience so I mis having a readme. Do I have to do exactly the same things as the other readme?
I mean, putting in files, changing them and so on... and then use /stock_by_attr_install.php to install again?

Sitting here for a while, trying to figure out what is going wrong.
I have searched for it, but nothing comes up, or maybe i'm using wrong search words.

Empty categories show nicely (there is nothing there)
But, catagories with products in it, show up wrong.

I have the dynamic filters on the left (and sometimes I switch on the categories left sidebox too)
Normaly the content/products is/are in the middle, but mine now is under the left sidebox.
Like this


What could be wrong here?

I don't believe SBA affects the display of categories and is probably not associated withthe installation of SBA; however, the sidebox that you have that includes dynamic filters. Might want to double check your logs directory to see if there are any myDEBUG files.

I double checked but this addon didn't make any productlisting changes.
I also don't have logs that say anything.
Could it be the dynamic filter that is causing the problem? But then, i had that in for a couple off days and didn't have this problem then.

If your seeing all of the expected content, then more than likely the issue is related to a CSS file... Those issues can be helped with when providing a link to the page(s) having a problem. They can be self diagnosed when using tools such as firebug with firefox or web developer for the same, or similar tools with other browsers.

I will say this, dynamic filters is one of the plugins that are still under review to ensure functionality with SBA (really it's the reverse to ensure that SBA properly supports dynamic filters, though some union may have to occur between the two).

Will it help if I show you the pagecode? (mouse on the website, right mouseclick, show code)
It's a big mess because i'm still building, but maybe it will tell us something?

I am looking at the stylesheet (i have chrome elements) but i haven't found anything yet.
If i remove the % witdh of the onerow.fluid in te responcive.css the categories with nothing in it, also move to under the sidebox.
Makes you think, lets reverse that. If they can move over there, the other categories can move back up. But no. The haven't got a % witdh, they have a px width and no matter what i changes, they don't move back up.
Going to puzzel some more....

I had looked everywhere. Gave up for today. Started to read the Attribute Stock Setup and trying to add a product.
Doing stuff in the admin and checking it in the catalog. And heeee... adding a product did the trick. It moved my products back up again

That my dir sir (mam), would be an indication of a template issue. Suggest all future issues with that problem be addressed in the forum of your template.

Glad though that at least for now the problem is solved.

How do you know that this things are template issues? (try to learn from you)

I also have a question about this addon.
My english is not that good and my experience with building a website is, trying and see what happens.
So in the setup it says create a product.
Option name and type:
Size, radio
Color: read only
Material: read only
Create size and default on the first one.
Display only for the read only (important because of out of stock message)

I did that but, i got the out of stock message anyway.
So I removed the display only, that made it possible to add quantity's for color and material.

My question is, what does read only and display only mean and do I have to put it back on after giving everything it's quantity?

[mc12345678]

From what was understood to be stated:
- A new category with no product caused display to be wrong.
- Adding a product to the category adjusted the display of the screen.
- Attributes are not displayed on the product listing screen, though the button(s) are different (no quantity add box), but nothing specific about attributes affect the product listing screen.
- Having an understanding of the SBA code further supports that the issue is/was template related.

I think I have seen the example you are describing, but I don't recall the setup being so complicated as described above. Read Only is a "data-type" assigned to an Option Name so that it will be treated like an attribute, but is for display purposes only. The content can not be modified by the customer.

Display Only applies to a single option value that is assigned to an option name. When active, that option value can not be the one selected to add to the cart. Typically it is a value such as "Please select". Therefore when the customer sees the attributes for the product, they are reminded to move along on selecting options in the attributes.

As to the issue(s) having with the recommended reading, it is difficult to understand the situation.
