"Stock by Attributes" (version 1.5.3). This MOD is ONLY for v1.5.1 ..whaddda?

[Malaperth]

Ok... I'm in trouble again and my customer is freaking out (she does that a lot). In this case, I have one product with two sizes and 2 scents. Now, only 1 scent is available in both sizes, the other in only one size at the moment. So, I set up the attributes as in this image:



And yet, when it appears on the page, both scents in both sizes are listed available. Is such a setup possible (ZC 1.5.1, SBA 1.5.3)?

Actually, it is exactly the length and characters allowed in a dropdown menu. I expected that when I changed the value, the size of the dropdown menu would change and allow more characters, but changing the value has no effect at all.

See this FAQ about the settings associated with Option Names and the use of the values you are talking about not having an effect: https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php...to-my-products

Then see this thread about one way to set the width of the dropdown box: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....pdown-box-size

Again, css related not option name set.

I was going to ask why it was there if it didn't work, but then I remembered many, many moons ago I would be coding and think "Hey, this would be cool." so I'd stub off some code (based and intertwined with needed code) to finish later. Well, "later" never came so there was this "thing" people could see but didn't work so I have no right to point fingers. Plus the fact that if I follow my own values, hey, it was free so shut the hell up... ;)

Thanks for the links! I'll definitely take a look!

I was too slow in thinking to edit my post, mc12345678, and I hope I'm not being a pest, but do you have any thoughts on my issue above (certain sizes of a product not in stock in original posting of attributes)?

I just can't win... I am now having an issue with setting up a product that has two options (attribute dropdowns), but only one size and product scent are available. So, I set up two attribute names each with only one attribute value. When I looked at the result, there were no dropdowns as I had specified, but two already selected radio buttons. Ok, so that makes a bit of sense, if you are only going to offer a single choice, what do you need a dropdown for? I then set the stock to 1 since there is only one jar of that product in one size and one scent available right now, and in the Attributes Controller I set it to have a stock of 1. It said stock of 1. Everything's good, right? Wrong... When I tried to add that last one product to the cart, it said it was out of stock. So, after reading the treatise on adding attributes, I added a non-selectable choice (Please make a choice.) as was suggested in that set of instructions. Look at the results and I do have my dropdown with the "Please make a choice." default as was suggested. Still cannot add that one product to the cart as it claims "Out of Stock". I have gone through all the settings in Admin and could easily be missing something obvious, but I cannot get that single item (and it was originally set up with a stock of 1) to add to the cart. Am I just a blind moron or is there something else I am missing? (ZC 1.5.1, SBA 1.5.3)

Is not yet properly coded in SBA 1.5.3 to address that situation, but is in SBA 1.5.4. (Compatible with ZC 1.5.3 and 1.5.4.)

Got any idea about the other issue above, mc12345678? I wanted to set up each item as it's own product, but the customer wants to be able to add more sizes and scents shortly. I just can't understand why, when the inventory clearly says 1 is available why it cannot be added to the cart. I searched through the code and found where I believe this part is dealt with but I see nothing wrong. It clearly looks to see if the inventory is above 0. Past that, I am at a total loss.

uh, SBA 1.5.4 ? Are you saying there is a working version out? Where?

Yup, applicable to ZC 1.5.3 and 1.5.4: http://github.com/potteryhouse/stock_by_attribute_1.5.4

Still has some growing to do, but baseline is functional.

Thank you. I do appreciate the work that you do but don't understand why you don't upload to the plugins section. It's so difficult to find these things out.
