Stocks by attributes

[tajul_ashyqin]

ehm, do I need to copy over the fix_cache_key.php file to my live server?!

[tajul_ashyqin]

i just installed this mod and i notice that when adding no-attributes-product to my cart, the system wont validate the no-attributes-product for having enough stock to fill the order and this happened after changing the quantity in my shopping cart and refresh it! someone plz help me because i already uploaded it to my live server...ahh,why i didn't check it carefully!

Yes, you need to add it to your live server.

oh dear. I noticed this too. Unfortunately I don't know what the fix might be.

Additional "bug"
While this mod does support multiple product attributes for stocking, it seems the attributes can't be dependant on another...
Or I can't figure out how to make it work.

For example, if you look at this gift certificate:
http://spritelygoods.com/zencart1301...products_id=40
the Processing Fee was *supposed* to be a radio button - but it does not appear as such.

I am in the midst of trying to stock another Gift Certificate (Printable) - I would like for the customers to be able to select what file type their printable certificate is available in, however it seems this mod will not allow me to do so. (neither radio button nor dropdown will appear properly)

hi woodlandsprite,

can you point to us which fix, probably with the thread number from the 1.2.7 thread, if you don't mind?!

if you read up in the thread where I ask if anyone knows how to do the fix, I list the thread and the approximate page.

nevermind - this appears to be a result of the quantity display module I installed.

This is due to the fact that the original code for checking the stock is disabled in the cart.
You can either do a workaround by adding an attribute to all items in your store - or you can put some comments on top of your shopping cart that indicate if there is difficulty checking out it is due to items possibly being out of stock.

I do not know what would happen if you simply reinstate the commented out code.

hi woodland,

i just found the fix yesterday (our local time!), you need to alter this file header.php in includes\modules\pages\shopping_cart! find these code $attributeHiddenField = ""; (around line 73) and put back (just beneath it) the following code;

if (STOCK_CHECK == 'true') {
$flagStockCheck = zen_check_stock($products[$i]['id'], $products[$i]['quantity']);
if ($flagStockCheck == true) {
$flagAnyOutOfStock = true;
}
}

that should do it! mine works nicely...

thanks for posting that :)
I have actually done the work around (by adding a single attribute to the products that originally didnt have any)
Will keep this in mind for the future, though I think I might be upgrading the shop when the Zen Team puts out the next release with their stock by attribute! Though that task is much too large for me to contemplate just yet.

Where in M'sia are you? I have family in JB, KL & Melaka!
