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

That was a fantastically fast response.

I know that I have extensively hacked the css (although I am not an expert in css: most of my css hacks are the result of divine intervention or trial-and-error), and I felt that this might be the source/cause of the problem.

I use SeaFox as my main browser, and haven't tested the site in IE - or any other browser for that matter. I can't get a response anywhere on the button in my browser. I have tried to bring the button 'forward' by giving the div a big 'z' value in the css, but that didn't seem to work. I'll try restricting its width, but many many thanks for this insight. I was beginning to despair, because I have spent (literally, honestly) months working on the store. I'll report back soon

Secondary question - I initially included my products in secondary/linked categories, primarily for the size of my products, btu got realy weird results due to what ajeh said was a bug due to be fixed in 1.3.8. Unfortunately, because size is included as an attribute (in most cases) the search funsction doesn't find the size. Are there, to your knowledge, any improved 'search' modules - I've looked and looked but can't see anything.

@blag

z-index only works on elements that have been positioned (e.g. have styles like position:absolute).

I'm not aware of any other search modules. This post from a few hours ago about how to create a custom search, will probably give a big clue as to why.

Thanks for the insight on custom searches!

I am really struggling to find which div is overlapping, because I can't see the overlap or a graphical 'representation' of the div!!

Are you able to determine (somehow or other) which div is causing the overlap? If so I would really apprecaite it
a) if you could advise which div it is, and
b) how you are able to determine this?

TIA

You actually have three elements extending right the way across: the productAttributes DIV and inside that the h3 tag and the WrapperAttribsOptions DIVs.

Three way to identify these, and they're all extensions to Firefox: CSS Viewer which lets you move round a page, giving you details of the elements that you're hovering over, the outline facility in the web developer extension and the inspect function in the firebug extension (my favourite). The web developer toolbar for Internet Explorer also has both outline find by click functions which would highlight this and the WebDev toolkit that can be used by those prefering Safari. There's also a web developer equivalent for Opera, but I haven't used that for a few months, so can't remember what facilities it has.

Ho-hum!! Specifying the width of the productAttributes DIV did the job. Thank you SO much - brilliant sleuthing by you.

I think it would have taken me several months of Sundays to figure that one out, and thanks for the additional info on tools to assist in identifying the overlaps etc. I have found and successfully installed a similar one for my browser!!

First class, and give yourself a HUGE pat on the back!!

Just thought I'd let you know - I found a problem with specifying the width of the productAttributes DIV, so I've 'positioned' the productAttributes DIV removed the width restriction and gave the div a 'z' value, and, of course, similarly, gave the addcart DIV a greater 'z' value so that the button 'floats' over the other DIVS!

For some reazon E cannot Delete Variant's in stock by attribute latest version

The page asking for confirmation appears, and I press YES to confirm, when it returns to first page the variation is still there

The only remedy for my is to go to phpmyadmin and delete it directly from the DB table.
Using:

Zen Cart 1.3.7.1
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7.1
One Attribut per product
and IE. 7.0

Any ideas?

Sorry if this is asked before. I tried but couldnt find any answer.. So I'd need to automatically remove attributes (size) from the product page dropdowns if the size is soldout... or atleast display sold out if attribute is out of stock.
is it possible?

[tbrides]

hi,

that is only possible if you have one attribute on a product. it will not work if its more than one.
there's a solution somewhere.

I've heard that attributes will be sorted in v 1.4

[poosk]

Hello,

I've a solution for adding Sold Out on the attribute if the stock of it is 0.
It works for dropdown boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes.

I've modified kuroi's attributes.php file, adding the suggestions of other people and figuring it out for dropdowns.

- First you need to add this to:
includes\languages\english\custom\product_info.php

if product_info.php is not there it will be in
includes\languages\english\product_info.php

Once you have added the below move the file to your custom directory

define('TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_IN_STOCK',' Sold Out'); 

- I've changed the function "function zen_draw_pull_down_menu" in includes\functions\html_output.php

function zen_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = '', $parameters = '', $required = false) {
    $field = '<select name="' . zen_output_string($name) . '"';
    $soldout = "";
    if (zen_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;

    $field .= '>' . "\n";

    if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {
    /* Added by TB on 16/2/2007 */
    /*need to check if Sold Out occurs in the option tag for the dropdown*/
    if(strpos($values[$i]['text'], "Sold Out")) $soldout = 'class ="red bold"';
    else $soldout = "";
      $field .= '  <option '.$soldout.' value="' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['id']) . '"';
      if ($default == $values[$i]['id']) {
        $field .= ' selected="selected"';
      }

      $field .= '>' . zen_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '&quot;', '\'' => ''', '<' => '&lt;', '>' => '&gt;')) . '</option>' . "\n";
    }
    $field .= '</select>' . "\n";

    if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

    return $field;
  } 

- Then I modified kuroi's attributes.php file. Located in
includes\modules\custom\attributes.php.
See attached. Rename your old one to something like attributes.php-old and upload this one.

- Then I added the class .red to my stylesheet, which just sets color:red

If anybody cares to try this in a test environment for me after they have installed the stock by attributes module.
Please let me know how it goes. It should work, works for me, but no guarantees.

Ok I've tried this like a million times and can't get it to work..
