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

[potteryhouse]

I made some updates to support our store, new version with these updates has been submitted.
This new version was only tested on Zen Cart 1.5.1.

Updated the files to resolve bugs and to add an ability for showing option values as out of stock on product page, attribute qty on product page, and stock of products without attributes in cart. All setting are controlled by options in the admin under Configuration/Stock. Details of changes are included in the package in the file Updates.txt.

Remember to always test prior to using on your production site.

"showing option values as out of stock on product page"
Does that work when theres more than 1 attribute for a product? Say something has 3 colours and 3 sizes for example.

Also you say tested with 1.51 only, but should this version work with 1.39h?

It will NOT work with version 1.3x of Zen Cart. It has the newer code structure from 1.5x in it.

I have only tested it with one attribute level (example: Fish wall decor with 4 size attributes 8 in, 12 inch, 24 inch, 28 inch), I expect it might work but I have not tested that. Did not think of the scenario you mentioned, since we do not currently have any product like that.

You can see some of what this does on our site http://www.caribbeanrays.com/ if you look at the product I have one out of stock http://www.caribbeanrays.com/gecko-m...al-gecko-decor.
If you add to cart (do not need to login or have an account) then you will see what indication you get in the cart also.

I plan to make another update to fix the 'Catalog/Products with Attributes Stock' entry page, so it will show a smaller number of products to manage at one time (like the products page works). So, I can look at testing your scenario. If you have additional details I should know when setting up the scenario please let me know.

Hi, nothing special just products that have more than 1 attribute. Its a known lacking feature and I think you would have had to code specifically for this to work. But test and let me know, thanks.

Update for stock_by_attribute version 1.5.1, I found a small display issue with the way I implemented a new feature in the mod.
Until I finish the other things I want to do with the mod, here is the fix, replace one file and add one more option to the configuration table.

Replace the attributes.php with this one Attachment 12827 (unzip it).

Add the new option with this sql clip

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,        configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, 
       last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) 
       VALUES ('Show original price struck through', 'STOCK_SHOW_ORIGINAL_PRICE_STRUCK', 'false', 
               'Show the original price (strike through) on product info page with attributes:',
               '9',
               '6',
               NULL,
               now(),
               NULL,
               'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),'
       )

How can I have a "cutdown" version of this plugin?
I find its really slow to use now, we have a few hundred products and each has about 40 or so attribute combinations. Particularly tedious when we have to edit a dozen or more stock levels for a particular product, each submit send you back to the list of all of the attribute stock levels.
Theres no pagination so the mod loads everything on the page at once.
All I want is the base page to only show the search function. That way I can edit the product I want and not load all the others.

Perhaps a way of using it as it is now as well, but I would be happy even just using 2 files and renaming one if I need the entire list.

I looked at the code but couldnt see an easy way of just deleting the part that lists everything.

The attached file is a "Quick Fix", please test it to see if it does what you want before using on an active site.
The file will replace: stock_by_attribute\admin\includes\classes\products_with_attributes_stock.php
I suggest you back up before using this.
It will give you a search box, no product listing, and you must know the product ID number or product name to search for it (I commented out the model number as it gave me too many returns, you can change it back if you like, it is still in the file on line 115). Attachment 12884

Let me know how it goes please.


FYI, I have been trying to get pagination working with no good results as of yet.

Oh my god I just found out I have an issue after installing this attribute module.

here is my website: http://www.minicoboutique.com
ZC version: 1.3.9.h


I have 2 types of products, the first one is no attributes needed, the second one is attributes needed. So I installed this Stock by Attribute module.

But I just realized only the products with attributes shows can be ordered, the products without attributes can't be ordered neither show detail.

Example:
With attributes: http://www.minicoboutique.com/index....products_id=92
Without attributes: http://www.minicoboutique.com/index....products_id=87

Looks like the products without attributes will be counted as 0 quantity even through I added quantity on product/category pages!? How can I fix it??

Thanks!!!

Which version of the MOD did you install?
For Zen Cart 1.3.x you should have used Stock by Attributes - Version: 1.4.14
This is noted on the download page and in the installation instructions.

You may need to check your setting under Configuration/Stock
In there you have an option to allow checkout with low and out of stock items, this may need to be set to true.

Remember to ALWAYS test mods out on a local test server before putting them onto an active store, all too often mods will conflict with other mods you have installed. Because of the large number of mods available we seldom know of a problem until someone runs into it.
