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

Sorry. Misunderstood. Thought that you were referring to entering data via the Admin.

What you want to do is not included in the mod and there's an explanation of why in the wiki entry for the mod. There is a way of doing it (though it may need some adapting to your particular requirement) and there are multiple posts about it earlier in this thread and in the other support thread. If you search for "Grayson", that's usually a good starting point.

Oy. Ok. I am very confused. So any help would really be appreciated.
There are many versions of Stock by attributes around, And I dont know which one I am running.

I am running the current version of zencart. I just spent alot of time entering stock levels by going into Catalog -> Products with Attribute Stock.

Now here is my delema... I think I found some edits to make the drop downs as you mentioned.

If you go this archive thread and seek out post #110 by Grayson, and her correction in #132. She shares code that she uses to show quantities for each attribute (though it will only work when there is at most one attribute per product), which could easily be adapted to supress display instead when the quantity is 0.

So I went there and saw the first edit to:

Open includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars_attributes.php and make the following changes:

And the funny thing was there was no such file.

Now this is getting me a little scared. I wouldnt want to type in all those Stock Levels all over again. Did I jave the wrong version installed? But this does sound like the way we were talking about how to enter the stock...

Sigh...

What would you make of this???

That's kind of important. Although Stock by Attributes now touches as few core Zen Cart files as possible. The ones it does touch have a habit of changing with each release. That's why there are so many versions of Stock by Attributes - they match versions of Zen Cart. Thank goodness this functionality will be incorporated into core Zen Cart in release 1.4.

And the funny thing was there was no such file.

Grayson's solution was designed for Zen Cart 1.2.x. The Zen Cart structure changed for 1.3, and the adaptations for this solution are explained in later posts. Try searching for "Frank" in the support threads for this mod. I believe that one of them will yield what you're looking for.

I'm looking for a way to combine attributes controller to the stock by attributes...

So basicly stock by attributes' "Add Quantity For Product Variant" thing would display all the attribute values (I use only one attribute..size) and user wouldn't have to go through attributes controller at all..

If anyone has ideas on this, let me know. thanks

I did a search of this thread, but nothing came up. Is there anyone to have each attribute assign a unique model number?

Example.
Design1, Black, Large = DESIGN-BLKL
Design1, Black, Small = DESIGN-BLKS

So on and so on. Thanks.

I'd recommend patience on this. Stock by Attributes is scheduled to be incorporated into Zen Cart 1.4, so making code changes (which is what this would require) would simply be lost.

This functionality is not present in the existing mod, but is scheduled for inclusion in core code for Zen Cart 1.4.

Any suggestions on how to setup the inventory ... do the extra attributes show on a order?

Is there any way to be notified when something is out of stock???

Yes. You would enable the low stock emails and set the threshold to zero.
