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

[blag]

Sync quantities applies the sum of the stocks for a product's attribute combinations to the overall stock total for that product.

Thanks, kuroi, that's cleared that up for me.

Is there a way to assign a different SKU/model for each product variant using this mod? Or is there a hack for this mod? I need this functionality to sync quantities with existing, brick and mortar database. Thanks!

No the mod doesn't support this. But it is planned for the next major release (1.4) of Zen Cart. I'm not aware of any hack that does it now.

Holy crap you are fast :))

When is the next release coming out?

p.s. there is a contribution that supposedly does this, but it's all in german and it's basically a whole bunch of file edits. Not very elegant...

I'm afraid the Zen Cart Dev Team don't give out release dates.

Hi, i have been reading through all the threads and still cant work out a solution to be able to have 2 attributes to a product but only use one f them for stock levels.
e.g.
The product is a theatre show. It has 20 screenings.
1st Attribute = Date i want to have 70 products for each date
2nd Attribute = Ticket level...concession, adult etc. I dont want to use quantity for this attribute as they refer to the 70 on the date.

Can someone please help?

OK, so I've added this module, got it working, and updated all my stock.

Because the stock levels of each variant are not clear at the time of ordering, I can see that, in the case of my store, there are almost certainly going to be occasions when a customer may decide that he/she fancies an item in Size a in Colour B, which is a variant that isn't available, and it may be the case that the customer has to just keep trying until they get the right combinations. So in many ways, the customer is working 'blind'.

So to overcome this problem, I have provided the customer with a 'stock availability' table which shows the variants that are available, with stock levels.

I've added the table in the product details text, but, as things stand, I will have to manually update the stock levels in these tables when purchases are made or stock replenished.

FINALLY... my question can anyone advise me as to what code I would need to incorporate in my text so as to make the the stock level update automatically?

I am quite happy to add a different line of code for each variant, if necessary, because this would save me time in the long run.

I realise that the way to do this is to 'look-up' the stock level for the variant, using the variant's unique 'id', but I have no idea as to how I could do that from within the html in my 'stock availabilty' table. (Ideally, I would like to be able to re-present a filtered by product version of the 'Stock by Attributes' data entry page, because that would mean that the whole table would be automatic!!)

Sorry if this was covered allready. Its such a long thread I couldnt find my answer.


I have the Stock by attribute mod installed, And it shows a total of how many I have regardless of Size. I wanted to know if there was a way, Perhaps in the actual drop down menu options if I can put how many I have in stock for each item.

Thanks.

That is rather the point of the module

Providing it's properly installed, attribute stocks are entered via Admin > Catalog > Products with Attributes Stock

Maybe I dont have it installed right then.

I get a count on the top on how many I have in total.

However in the drop down it (or anywhere for that matter ) I dont see where it shows 1 in size large 2 in medium 4 in small

The drop down menu just shows size not how many there are...

What am i doing wrong???
