And that's been precisely why the code is fragmented right now.. Consult the original submitter about WHAT??? It's OPEN SOURCE for goodness sakes!!!!

If there is no active "maintainer" (to borrow a Drupal term) and you want to update the add-on, and can do it so it's tested and bug free, then by all means DO IT gosh darn it.. You won't be stepping on anyone's toes. If you have ideas for an update and there is an active "maintainer", then contact them about working together.. (that's JUST how the PDF packingslip was added to Super Orders)

The REAL originator of SBA, Kuroi stopped updating this as of v4.7, and has said openly LONG ago that he will be making NO FURTHER updates to this mod.. So no offense, but what is this person waiting for???

Seems like NO ONE wants to just submit a bloody update and be done with it.. So folks have submitted these variants because they didn't want to ruffle someone's feathers.. I don't get it..

I have identified what looks like three variants to this mod
  1. Stock by Attributes
  2. Stock by Attributes 4.7Multiadd WITH TABLE FILTER 1.6
  3. StockByAttributes with my stock id MOD 1.0.0


If what you say is true then it means there is now a FORTH variant of SBA floating around???

from what I can tell there's no reason why any of these variants should have been split off from the original at all.. Seems most were split off just to add one or two additional features and the submitter didn't want to step on the originators toes... so they submitted a NEW version?????? (WTH??) Bloody hell!!!! Why???

If someone has a working version of this mod where the functionality off all three variants has been consolidated and is WORKING bug free (relatively), then for goodness sakes.. SUBMIT the darn thing!!!

done ranting..
