Stocks by attributes

[pro_2k]

Woops! I never even gave the stock with attributes a second thought after its been working so smoothly with v1.3.02, stupidly i've started my upgrade to 1.3.5 already! well, might as werll bite the bullet and see if it works... if it does/not i'll keep you posted with my progress.

I was just comparing my files and came across the funcion_lookups one, and thats what sparked my thinking :)

I havent read through the previous posts yet, but im sure i'll have to :)

The existing package will fail with 1.3.5. At the least you will need to amend the functions_lookups.php file. I have amended other files too, though don't know if these changes are critical or "nice to have".

Kuroi:
Feel free to add me as a Beta tester - I've a fair bit of experience with a slightly modified version of the stocks by attribute on 1.3.0.2

Unfortunately I'm not yet sure when I'll be doing my upgrade as I'm waiting to see how many of my other modules are being updated.

Thanks for taking pity on those like me, who can't code my way out of a paper bag

I'd like to be a beta tester as well. Thanks!

OK. The updated add-on is ready to move from alpha testing to beta testing. Here is a list of the amendments and additions:

1. Removed zen_ prefix from table creation SQL allowing it to be run by Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches (bug fix)
2. Changed quantity field to float in products with attributes table allowing fractional stock quantities (bug fix)
3. admin/orders.php updated for compatibility with Zen Cart 1.3.5
4. admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php updated to pass a languages_id to functions get_products_attributes and get_attributes_name each time they are called (bug fix)
5. includes/functions/functions_lookups.php updated for compatibility with Zen Cart 1.3.5
6. products_with_attributes_catalog_dhtml.php file created so that catalog_dhtml.php no longer needs to be over-written (new feature)
7. Language file for Admin is now used, which together with earlier bug fix should allow full integration with carts whose Admin is not in English (new feature)
8. Re-enabled check stock and disable checkout feature for all products (bug fix)
9. Fixed "Out of Stock" indicators in Shopping Cart for products with attributes (bug fix)
10. Added "Stock Available" to shopping cart page for display when stock is low. This can be turned on and off via the Admin > Stock menu (new feature)
11. Low stock email now triggered by low stock on an attribute, even if overall stock for product remains above stock reorder level (new feature)

My fixes for languages issues, and the "out of stock" messages are different from those posted higher up in this thread and will not suffer from the knock-on problems that those solutions caused.

The robustness of the changes ranges from completely tested with high confidence, down to fairly certain that this will work but needs testing by somebody with more experience in this area. I'm therefore now turning it over to those who have kindly volunteered to beta test (who will be contacted privately), but would still be grateful for a beta tester volunteer who is running a shop with the Admin in a language other than English.

Hey Kuroi, nice going! I've been comparing the mod files to 1.3.5, but I guess I'll spend my time more productively now!
I'm sure danielcor would be more than pleased to hear that someone is running w/ this.
It sounds like you have found some beta testers already, but I would be happy to help if you need additional feedback. Unfortunately, I run an English only shop, so cannot help on that front.

Running a Swedish shop, hook me up..

[purple-circle]

Is there an accepted procedure to becoming a beta tester or is it just hands up in the air?

[kuroi]

Hands up in the air is working fine for the moment. You have a PM (personal message) with more details (as hopefully does everybody else who has vounteered up to this point).

can these updated mod restock the quantity of the attributes stock upon cancellation of order?!
