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

[13moons]

I read through the posts and I'm not quite clear on this: If I install the latest version on 1.3.7 must all current products with attributes have stock for each attribute?
Or can I select individually which products with attributes are affected by this mod?

Thanks

Ok 1 quick question :) When copying one product with attributes by stock added to it to another category and duplicating attributes does everything carry over?
For instance if I order a product from the copied item listing, does it detract the quantity from the original item listing that I added the stock by attributes to ?

Thanks!

Dear all - please see below:

OK - for the terminally stupid (which I must be) - what have I done wrong on the install? - Did anybody find any differences in the instructions and the reality for example? -

Where does the quantity box appear for the stock options? - Is it the normal attributes tab? - perhaps a screen print would be useful?

Thanks

Hello Crabacle.

I have just installed this mod and wanted to let you know that I am having the same problem as you are. Were you able to find resolution to this and if not, can someone please help us with this issue.

If you go to admin->catalog->then at the very bottom you will see Product with attributes stock. Click that and you will see what you need to get started!

Also be sure you add all of your normal attributes to each product as normal before doing this step :) Hope that helps!!

Hi Recinamn

Thank you for your suggestion, but I have to apologize, as I quoted the wrong statement.

The problem that I face is

by crabacle in a previous post
What is happening is the items with attributes are showing out of stock when selecting. Also the Attrributes page for the item (in site admin) has no fields for entering different stock numbers for the items.

Whenever I place an item in the cart that has attributes by stock it shows up as being out of stock even though it is stated in both admin>catalogue/product and admin>catalogue>Product with attributes stock as having the correct amount of stock that I have.

I have temporarily fixed this problem by changing the admin>stock>check stock level to false.

I don't in particular like this fix as now when I place more of a particular item in the cart than I actually have in stock it will proceed with the checkout even though there is insufficent stock to cover the order, and what is worse is that there is no indication to the customers, telling them that is only x amount of product in stock.

eg;

I may have 12 of a particular product in stock

3x white - small
3x white - medium
6x white - large

If a person adds 4 x white - small, then I have insuffient stock to cover order, yet the cart will allow the order to go through even I have set admin>stock>allow checkout to false and this is because the backend is not recognising the stock attributes for some reason. It is still treating stock as though this mod isn't installed.

Now because I have the check stock level set to false the other setting below in bold don't even enter into the equation I may as well not have them there.

below are my setting in admin for stock

Check stock level false (this used to set to true before mod install)
Subtract stock true
Allow Checkout false
Mark product out of stock ***
Stock Re-order level 2
Show stock when low false
Products status in Catalog when out of stock should be set to 1
Show Sold Out Image in place of Add to Cart 1
Product Quantity Decimals 0
Show Shopping Cart - Delete Checkboxes or Delete Button 3
Show Shopping Cart - Update Cart Button Location 3
Show New Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 1
Show Featured Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 2
Show Special Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 3
Show Upcoming Products on empty Shopping Cart Page 4

Sorry for the long winded explanation but hopefully someone will be able to understand and suggest a better resolution as this mod is an excellent concept and would be better appreciated if I could get it to work properly.

BTW, I am running Zen 1.3.7

Thanks a bunch for any assistance!!

Sorry to bump this, but I really could do with some help here.

[Redcinamn]

Very strange I don't have that problem at all with the addon for 1.3.7. But I have run into this problem: I have disabled the show product inventory and it is still showing the number that I have added to each size in the stock by attributes add on section. Is there a way to turn this off when using the add on?

Thanks!

Fixed mine by doing this:

This one is in admin > catalog > product types > general > at the right is "edit layout" > select this and then find the weight entry and set to off "0"\






Thanks again. ~Renee

How do I get the product Quantity in Stock value to show by attribute on the product pages. I have search the for this with no luck.

[tbrides]

frogster,
i dont think this module can do that.

maybe somebody can recommend how to extract these amounts to display for you.
