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

I ran several of the scripts that might be pertinent but no dice so far. I'm okay with waiting as this is driving me crazy

Like to try to gather a few facts too. When in option names manager, what attribute types appear?

The oduct affected, what type of attribute was assigned that is not appearing?

Do any product have attributes showing and what type are they?

It says grid - this site was highly customized in 1.3.9. I don't ever remember seeing grid as an option before. Is it supposed to be that now?

The grid software is compatible with SBA, but would need to obtain the latest copy. I haven't tried it recently with php 7.x though. What it does (if weren't aware) is offer two attributes to be presented as a combination on the product info page. There a customer could enter a quantity for each combination (say 1 L-green, 1 S-blue) and then when the product is added to the cart, each of those is added separately but in one submission...

Hmm, shoot, going to have to go back and look at that plugin again...

If though the product only has one attribute set to grid, then it is possible to add multiple "product" each having just that one attribute. That is like looking at the product list where the product doesn't have attributes and entering a quantity for each desired product and then submitting the page.

good grief! Never mind then. I had removed the attribute grid - stupid! Thanks for your help on this.

No problem. :) Glad that the cause could be identified (and not specifically this plugin). :)

As usual, need to know more details about the "setup". How many attributes are applied to the product in question? Ie. How many option names is it one or more than one?

Using the exact verbiage ('Out of Stock:') can find a few things, first is the language define that actually provides that content (In a way why the colon is at the end of that statement, so that it would drive one to potentially make it what is desired instead of default.)


Then from there, searching for example on 'PWA_OUT_OF_STOCK' which is one of the defines with that content: there are two files that result where in one there is a "switch" to turn off the display of that text and in the other, well there does not appear to be a switch at the moment but basically the content is displayed if the quantity available is 0 or less. There was a plan to further modify that control; however, as implemented, it appears like it would take yet another configuration option, or perhaps the existing one would be moved, though that too is/was part of the current plan forwards...

The text could be modified, the code could be changed in the areas where it is to be displayed, and/or perhaps some additional modification.

The change would be an all or nothing condition, but in this case, because there is one attribute (option name), the change to apply is to delete the text 'Out of Stock:' from the associated define leaving behind just a pair of single quotes instead of single quotes around that text.

I haven't been asked/considered applying a "switch" at each product to support individual control of identifying the attributes as out of stock or not. I do see that the site supports adding such out of stock product to the cart.

One "issue" with doing the above is that let's say 3 out of 4 option values are available and the fourth is really out of stock, the customer will not have knowledge of that until it has been added to the cart... unfortunately a further fix to that with consideration of the above is that yet another condition to consider is to remove out of stock if all are, but leave it if less than all are out of stock...

In the case of this site, it appears that the text could be changed to 'back order' or something similar...

BTW, recommend reviewing the text presented to customers when a back ordered product is added to the cart and the cart is reviewed. There are some grammatical/spelling issues. Ensuring correct spelling helps instill confidence in the site (or at least doesn't lose it as a result of what is presented).
