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

[kuroi]

Issues with the stock tracking...

Rather than deducting from the attribute (let’s say, 1 pink dress in size 10) when you put an item in the shopping cart, it deducts from the total product quantity. So, if I have 10 dresses in stock, and only one is pink, size 10, it will let the person put 11 dresses in their cart (all pink, size 10) before giving the out of stock message!

We created a new product, just to make sure something funky didn’t happen with the export that caused the products and attributes to not link up properly – same issue with the new product.

There must be a “switch” somewhere to tell the system to allow the attributes to deduct the stock totals, but we have looked all over and can’t find it!

Do you have Admin > Configuration > Stock > Subtract Stock set to "true"? If so, what is the outcome of the check explained in post #308 earlier in this thread?

I noticed after deleting an order, I checked the box to add the item back to stock but it didn't.

This is true. There is no automatic stock replenishment for deleted orders.

the admin setting is set to true...

Line 8 of the includes/classes/order.php is
* @version $Id: order.php 0000 2007-09-19 00:00:00Z kuroi $


I also reloaded all the files for this version 4_5.

Still no change in the issue.
Here is a link to the dev site:

Thanks for your attention to this!

Could you tell me which product it is, how much stock you have set for each product variant and set "Show stock when low" to true.

85
I have two in stock in size 80, and one in size 86. As you will see, you can
buy 2, and even 3, in size 86 (which should show out of stock at 2), but
when you add the 4th, it finally shows out of stock.

Every single product that has more than one (which is pretty much the whole
site minus just a few) is calculating stock this way.

Show available stock in cart when less than order is set to true (I think
that was the setting you were referring to?)

Version 4.7 of Stock by Attributes is release for Zen Cart 1.3.8. Please don't try to use it on earlier versions of Zen Cart, it will probably fail.

There are no functional changes. It's simply a maintenance mod that incorporates the 1.3.8 changes into this mod's versions of core Zen Cart files that it over-writes or over-rides.

The source of the problem on your site is the extra step that you have added to the installation process, i.e. make a copy of the file being over-written.

While this is not a bad thing to do in principle (though personally I prefer to keep a copy of the whole Zen Cart release package handy) I would strongly advise against ever mixing them in with your live files.

What has happened on your site is that first the new files from the stock by attributes mod get executed and work perfectly. And then your back up files get executed and over-write the stock by attributes results.

hi,

I am trying to install the great add-on you made; Stock by Attributes . http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=310

version 4.6

in the readme file there is a point regarding installing file;

There are six core Zen Cart files modified by this add-on. If you have installed other add-ons or customised your cart since your Zen Cart installation or upgrade, you will need to check whether they have changed any of the following files:

• admin/includes/stylesheet.css
• admin/orders.php
• includes/classes/order.php
• includes/functions/functions_lookups.php
• includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/header_php.php
• includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php

In addition, one file is over-ridden

• includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

My webshop is already online with products and customers etc. so i guess its not a new installation. btw, i am running 1.3.7.1 .

I wanted to upload the above mentioned files with my flashfxp, should i override the current files or not?
like for example: admin/orders.php , should i override this orders.php file with the one already exist? if not what should i do? i really want to install this module but unfortunatly i do not have enough knowledge to merge the files or do anything with them... i am learning everyday!

looking forard for your reply

Thanks in advance

Hi saman

Most of the files that you listed cannot be over-ridden - they can only be over-written.

Whether or not you should do this would depend upon whether you have installed other mods that have already changed them. Only you can answer that.

If you have, then your only options are to uninstall the other mods in favor of this one, merge the files together, or employ somebody (maybe from the Commercial Help Wanted forum) to do the job for you.

You lost me here... what "extra step"? Backup files? Oh, do you mean the ones I have named "OLD"? I don't understand how those are being executed.
Thanks for any further clarification you can give.
