Stocks by attributes

[bencart]

Hello,

I am having problems with this contribution and the shopping cart page.

If a product is just priced as is, the stock level check works. On the other hand when I use attribute stock levels it always claims that the item is out of stock no matter what.

I've looked in the database and the levels stored are correct. I have tried backing up the files the contribution uses and then re-installing unedited versions.

I am using the product grid contribution (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=876) and have edited it so that it indicates how much stock each attribute had, using traffic light images. When I add something to the basket and the shopping cart loads the correct attributes are listed in there, it is just the stock level that isn't working

Hello,
I am having problems with this contribution and the shopping cart page.

I've tried using attribute without the product grid and it looks like its a problem with that rather than this contribution

Knowing where that mod came from, I would be surprised if it didn't work. So the problem is most likely in how the two mods interact. But there's a hitch there, since they don't appear to! However, product attribute grid does tweak the shopping cart directly, so it's possible that whatever it does upsets or passes data that isn't available to stock by attribute.

I am having the same problem as above again

The cart owner is adding products and the table products_with_attributes_stock is showing that the stock_attributes column is being loaded with measurementID,quantityID where as the demo ones I put in where only being loaded with measurementID. None of the stock_by_attributes files have been modified from the original files, so I would have thought it should be working?

I have now fixed this so that Product Attribute Grid and Stock by Attributes work when the attribute grid is setup to use single attributes.

The file admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php needs this modification:

Original Code:

            foreach($product_attributes as $option_name => $options)
            {
                echo '<p><strong>'.$option_name.': </strong>';
                echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('attributes[]',$options).'</p>'."\n";
            } 

Fixed Code:

            foreach($product_attributes as $option_name => $options)
            {
                // if the option isn't the attribute grids dummy quantity attribute
                if($option_name != 'Quantity')
                {
                    echo '<p><strong>'.$option_name.': </strong>';
                    echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('attributes[]',$options).'</p>'."\n";
                }

            }

Hi all
I need a little help to install SBA 4.7. I'm reading installation instructions and I'm using ZC 1.3.8(a).

"Prepare the package for upload to your server by renaming the following folders to match your template name: includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE and includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE."

In SBA 4.7 package I can find and rename includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE but there isn't includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE

Incorrect instruction, or... ?

Left over from older versions. Changes have been made to minimise over-riding of files and over several releases, the number of files over-written and over-ridden has been reduced. The module file for which this instruction was originally written no longer needs to be changed, so you can safely ignore that part of the instructions.

I think that it's a good idea to update install instruction.

so you can safely ignore that part of the instructions.

I don't understund if is necessary to rename includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE

(I'm using a template)

So do I. Please feel free to do so.

It is.

I have now fixed this so that Product Attribute Grid and Stock by Attributes work when the attribute grid is setup to use single attributes.

The file admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php needs this modification:

Original Code:

            foreach($product_attributes as $option_name => $options)
            {
                echo '<p><strong>'.$option_name.': </strong>';
                echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('attributes[]',$options).'</p>'."\n";
            } 

Fixed Code:

            foreach($product_attributes as $option_name => $options)
            {
                // if the option isn't the attribute grids dummy quantity attribute
                if($option_name != 'Quantity')
                {
                    echo '<p><strong>'.$option_name.': </strong>';
                    echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('attributes[]',$options).'</p>'."\n";
                }

            } 

Wow. I am sooooooo glad you posted your solution. I had the exact same problem and your fix worked, only the "echo '<p><strong>'.$option_name"... part was further under the foreach loop than I expected. After inserting your IF statement, the stock_attribute column stopped displaying the ",quantityID" and then stock started working correctly again.

The weird thing is I could have sworn the two modules (Attributes by stock and product grid) were working fine together. I have no idea what would have stopped them from working though, so I'll assume I just overlooked the issue in the beginning.
