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

1. It's certainly possible. The data is all there in the database and the screenshots suggest that somebody has already done it. However, I don't know of anywhere from which a ready-made solution is available.

Yes someone has done it with their own module but they have not uploaded the module except for the screenshots and he is not contactable either via the forum or by other means. So My question is is there any possibility for you to have this added to your module in the future?

2. There are no updates planned (by me at least) to the functionality in this mod for the reasons explained in the first post of this thread. However, this is built on the Danielcor version, with some small enhancements and the odd bug fix - no functionality was removed. So if it was in the Danielcor version, it's in this one too (though I've never seen it).

It looks like Danielcor has had this functionality in his latest release Aug 31 2007 Version: 3.01.1. So is this possible in your version? As I have said before I would like to have it in your version as I already have yours installed.

One other note I am thinking of upgrading to zencart 1.3.7.1. I saw in previous post there you mentioned a bit of an issue with this new version. Before I upgrade what should I do to make this mod work in it.

Hey, if there's a mod to show a grid of available stock, why don't we get a few guys out there to track the code down so that we can use this. If Kuroi's version is based on danielcor's, and danielcor's now includes this feature, I would beg that kuroi perhaps try to include it. It would save such a lot of time and effort (I manually compile an 'availability' grid) and would make this mod truly useful. (I am of the opinion that whilst it is probably an essential mod, it doesn't go far enough)
Teasing us with the future capabalities of v1.4 is cruel, because we need this feature now, not at some unspecified time in the future. I feel that the argument that users with multitudes of products and combinations would have difficulties with such a facility within the mod would have problems is somewhat specious - if it's an OPTION, they don't have to use it!!
PLEASE, PLEASE kuroi, if you can do this, I would beseech you to do so!!
PLEASE

My answer to this was made clear in the very first post of this thread to which I directed you in my previous post.

This has been added to Danielcor's version by jstephens. I've done a quick review of the code and it looks like a very competent job, with several of the bugs that I fixed also being fixed by this update. However, its main focus is adding some nice additional features. The problem is that they have been added to a version of the mod that was only compatible with Zen Cart versions 1.3.0 - 1.3.0.2, and although I haven't actually tested it, I rather suspect that there would be problems running it on Zen Cart 1.3.5 or later (if anybody knows otherwise please share your knowledge or experiences). So I understand your dilemma. If you need this functionality urgently, I recommend that you do a code comparison between Danielcor's version and jstephen's version and then apply the differences to my version.

One other note I am thinking of upgrading to zencart 1.3.7.1. I saw in previous post there you mentioned a bit of an issue with this new version. Before I upgrade what should I do to make this mod work in it.

There may or may not be an issue. This mod is very sensitive to changes in the underlying Zen Cart core code - the reason why I welcome the functionality being incorporated into core code - and I am not aware of anybody having checked whether any tweaks are needed to make it compatible with 1.3.7.1. HOWEVER, I have a client who needs this functionality for 1.3.7.1, and so I will be doing those checks ... probably later today.

No issue with Stock by Attribute 4.4. and Zen Cart 1.3.7.1 - you'd just be missing a couple of security patches. Alternatively you will very shortly (as soon as it's enabled in the downloads area) be able to download version 4.5 which includes the security patches and does some minor tidying up of the mod - detailed explanations are available in the readme file in the release package and in the wiki entry for this mod.

It is released. It just hasn't been activated in the Zen Cart downloads area yet.

Hope this is the right place to be asking this as i have Stocks by attributes 4.4 installed because i need it for selling shoes ie ..
UK5 stock 1pair
Uk6 Stock 1 pair
Uk7 Stock 2pair
and so on ..

But now here's the thing...

I have a product i sell its a skateboard deck, now this items comes with a product called griptape, we do a FREE Grip but also want to offer 1/2 price up grade to 2 others one at £2.50 and one at £3.00 also an option to have it applied or loose.
so that five attributes ...
Free
Applied
Loose
Upgrade 1
Upgrade 2

with Stocks by attributes i have to set a stock level for each attribute so that's x5 but i only have 1 of the product in stock.

i hope that makes some sort of sense to someone and you can point me to the right way or add on i need.

@Big_Woody

Stock by Attribute allows to you attach a stock level to each combination of attributes for a given product.

If that product has attributes that have stock of their own, they are probably not really attributes of the original product, but rather products in their own right.

You might be better off treating them as products and using one the three or four cross-sell modules available from the downloads area. There's also a hide categories add-in that you may be able to use to prevent them from being listed elsewhere.
