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

[kuroi]

Thanks for taking the time to ask.

What i was trying to do is this.
I sell skateboard parts. The deck is the wooden top piece (sorry if you know dont want to sound like your stupid) well they have griptape fitted tot he top. When we sell one we give free griptae with each order, cheap stuff but free all the same.
What i want to do is have a drop down selection giving the user chance to upgrade there tape at a minimal cost.
SO
Deck <Free Tape Loose
< Free Tape Fitted
< Upgrade Option 1 + £2.50 Fitted
< Upgrade Option 1 + £2.50 Loose
< Upgrade Option 2 +£3.00 Fitted
< Upgrade Option 2 + £3.00 Loose

Now if i use these options in a drop down menu "Stock by Attributes" wants a value for each option making 6 in total but i may only have 1 deck of that type in stock.

Want i need is a way of tell SBA that the option are 0 value does that make sense and is it possible ?

Cheers for taking the time to read this.

Hi Big_Woody

I may finally have an answer for you, though you will have to work out if it will work for you. Version 4.6 of Stock by Attribute allows you to decide for each individual product whether stock will be managed at product level or attribute level.

In the above case this would mean that you could have stock by attributes installed, but not create stock records for any of the attributes you listed above. This would mean that you would enter the product quantity for the deck as 1 and that's what would be used for calculating stock at checkout.

This does however, assume that you would always have tape available, but since you need tape for all your options, that doesn't seem unreasonable.
