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

[tflmike]

I'd like to second this. I have a new install of Zen Cart 1.5.3 and on replacing the 'general.php' file, the website fails with a blank page. This is also after merging the code. Is there a solution for this as yet?

Thanks

Its not compatible with Zen Cart version 1.5.3 yet, the author is working on it and other improvements as he finds the time. There are incompatibilities in the database queries because of recent changes from MySql to MySqli in the latest version of zencart which is a performance improvement and allows for better compatibility with current and future versions of Php.

Hi all,

Need some testers for this update, please only use/test on a development system, not a live site!

I have posted the updated SBA mod, this one is only usable with Zen Cart 1.5.3, this is due to the many changes that are specific to the new version.

I made updates and tested on a locally installed copy of Zen Cart 1.5.3, there are still a number of changes and additions I would like to make but I think it would be good if others tested this version and provided feedback on problems they encounter.

DO NOT use on a production site, this is for testing only. There are bugs I have not seen!!!
If anyone has suggestions to add or update in the instruction please send them so I can incorporate.

Changes / Updates
1. All affected files have been merged with Zen Cart 1.5.3 version.
2. Updated to the attributes.php file for getting attribute quantity and to support a new feature "change image on select" in a selection list.
3. Database table now has two additional fields, product_attribute_combo and title. These are to support future planned changes.
4. Many other smaller updates to improve user interface.
5. Installation script has many updates, and now supports installing the various "Optional SQL" command, also the Help screen notes have been updated. Additionally, the 'File Check" has been updated to find old/obsolete files from previous versions (user must manually remove files).
6. The AJAX folder has been removed, files are now located in the "includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\jscript" and admin folders as applicable.

Please provide feedback, with examples, screenshots, and explanations when you find problems. This is so I can more quickly duplicate the issue and make the update.

In the mean time I will be making a few other updates and fixes as I find them.

Thanks.

Excellent. I'll take a look and report back

I have just installed Stock By Attribute v1.5.3 and see no place to add number in stock. What am I doing wrong?

That's your Attribute Controller. In your ZenCart admin, go to Catalog ----> Products With Stock Attribute (SBA) and you'll be able to enter your stock there.

Best of luck!

My apologies as the search function leaves a lot to be desired. I followed your instructions (and I feel a bit stupid for not looking there, but, what is, is). Now I have all the drop-down menus with the variants showing where they are supposed to, but all the items show "Out Of Stock". I am rather sure that this question has been asked/answered before, but reading 192 pages worth of material when the vast majority of it pertains to v1.3.9 (approximately) makes my head spin. Soooooo... How do I get the stock to show correctly? As in, some of the choices in the drop-down may actually be out of stock but most are not, but the entire product shows out of stock... Again, I have a feeling I'm going to feel stupid once I get the answer, but I need people to be able to order what is in stock in the drop-down and "Out Of Stock" to show what has a stock of 0. I apologize in advance for being a dense old man that hasn't coded for about 20 years and I very much appreciate your help.

Click "Sync Quantities" and you're good!

I did as you suggested and am now halfway there (Thank you!)... It does show items in stock, but the variants that really ARE out of stock show that they are in stock.

Well, since I couldn't edit my last post, here is some more information. After the customer adds the out of stock item (which shows IN stock on the product page) to the shopping cart, it does show that the item is out of stock. However... My customer wants the items to remain listed there to show what they used to have in stock, but if they have 50 flavors of candy, and 48 of them are out of stock, by about the 10th try at adding an item to the cart that insinuates it IS in stock on the product page, they're going to be pretty frustrated and quite possibly leave. Is this the way Stock By Attributes is supposed to work that it shows in stock on the product page but out of stock in the shopping cart?
