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

[mc12345678]

I am having an issue that is making me pull my hair out! lol

History... upgrading a 1.5.0 cart to 1.5.4
Installed latest "combo" version of SBA from github and get an error in logs as follows when going to a product page - which is blank:

[20-Aug-2016 13:21:11 America/New_York] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/elkkidsc/public_html/store2/includes/classes/observers/class.products_with_attributes_stock.php on line 671

When I look at it in Dreamweaver it shows two lines as "red" indicating an error:
Attachment 16599

Typo:
is_array
Is a function, not an array. Therefore the first [ and last] should be replaced with their () equivalent.

Line should read:

 if (is_array($products[$i]['attributes'])) {

Thanks - changing the coding in that file took the error away.... but for some reason the drop down attributes are not showing up on the product page. It just says "Please Choose" but doesn't show the attributes / name / value under it.

Dev site is here:

http://www.elkkids DOT com/store2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28_47&products_id=471

compare to LIVE 1.5.0 site:
http://www.elkkids DOT com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28_47&products_id=471

Any ideas?

BTW - I can get the 1.5.4 code from github to show the attributes .... but the problem is that it shows ALL of the attributes stock - even if there is zero stock for the option value. I was HOPING this newer "combo" code would rectify that. If not... then I can switch back to the 1.5.4 since I know it works and the combo one apparently isn't working.

Do other attribute types show?

If so, then it would appear that the site is missing a few keys that would have been removed from sql code of other plugins. The install evolution should address/correct that issue. Other attribute types that would likely be affected would be text and file upload. Try a radio button and see if the attribute types come back. Should be able to provide the sql statement needed if the issue persists.

Also, are these product in that category also already populated in SBA?

I was trying to remember the brain twister that ends with something like, the light is green, what do you do at a stop light.

Apparently at the time of writing that line, ithe code snippet ends with arry, and so I did what is done with arrays, used the square brackets...

As seen above though and as I had locally corrected the code should use the parentheses to work as suggested/provided. I thought I had uploaded that fix, but apprently not.

You are too funny!! lol

Changing it to checkbox makes the attributes show up.... but unfortunately ALL the option values show up..... not just the ones that are in stock for that item

See this one:
http://www.elkkids DOT com/store2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28_2&products_id=120

Only one color is in stock.

Since other attribute types show on screen, but the classic dropdown doesn't, this seems to confirm my suspicions of a few keys being removed from the database which well... doesn't happen as much now-a-days and is reversed by installation of ZC 1.5.5 and/or running the install of this plugin.

Doing so will/should execute the query(ies) below to restore the missing attribute types (any existing variants will remain untouched, but for now the SBA configuration settings will get reset to "factory default", then after the install, you will want to change the option name type to the added SBA basic/simple dropdown to get the desired results:

UPDATE configuration set configuration_group_id = 6 where configuration_key in 
	('PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', 'UPLOAD_PREFIX', 'TEXT_PREFIX');
	INSERT IGNORE INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Product option type Select', 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', '0', 'The number representing the Select type of product option.', 6, NULL, now(), now(), NULL, NULL);

	INSERT IGNORE INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Upload prefix', 'UPLOAD_PREFIX', 'upload_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between upload options and other options', 6, NULL, now(), now(), NULL, NULL);
	INSERT IGNORE INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Text prefix', 'TEXT_PREFIX', 'txt_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between text option values and other option values', 6, NULL, now(), now(), NULL, NULL);

That did the trick Chad! Thanks so much!!

I feel like a beggar... lol but is there any way to get the "out of stock" attributes not to show up in the dropdown - like the older version of SBA used with 1.5.0?

That did the trick Chad! Thanks so much!!

I am in the process of upgrading a site from ZC 1.3.9d to 1.5.5a. Because upgrades have not been done progressively (amongst other no,no,no's), I am now faced with making SBA workable on the updated site.

Downloaded the latest version of SBA combined from Github.

Question: How does the new installer supposed to be handled? I just see the file admin/stock_by_attr_install.php to effect this.

Am I supposed to run the file stock_by_attr_install.php manually or what is the intention (can't find any updated documentation for this version on Github)?

TIA / Frank
