[adoy]

@kuroi

i really appreciate this mod and currently using it on my site. is there any conflict on it with mod dual pricing / wholesale pricing?

a thread on the prob i encountered is found here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=dual+pricing

thankz!

my issue is that my wholesale pricing is NOT working when the product is priced by attributes.

i restored my previous database and remove the files for Stock by Attributes and there it works. please help me solve this. i need to use Stock by Attributes with Wholesale pricing mods simultaneously.

SIgh, I made it to page 14 of this thread. I even double checked the baby steps on page 12. I'm 99.9% sure I have uploaded all files to relevant folders. Yes the mod is still not showing up under the catelog menu.

I'm at a complete loss with this one. I've reuploaded several times to the point that it keeps popping up the "this file already exists do you want to overwrite it?" .

Still nothing. I've had success with another mod so I'm confused as to why I can't get this one running. And I really need it.

Which is the file, and where should it be, the file that actually tells the menu option to show up? Perhaps that will give me a clue as to a file I missed.

Otherwise, does anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Nevermind, I seem to say that alot here :-) This is what happened. I was using Filezilla to upload the files. Filezilla was NOT overwriting the files as I commanded. I noticed when the file I was trying to upload, one that should overwrite another one, was a larger filesize than the corresponding one. And when it said the upload was successful, the file size uploaded hadn't changed to the new filesize. I had to DELETE each of the existing files and upload the Stock By Attribute file, fresh as it were.

I'm taking the rest of the night off!

I just can't seem to get it working. Any ideas?

Your description of the need to over-write files and the duplication error when you try to re-apply the patch all sound like what I would expect from a correct installation.

Did you have to over-ride the files the first time you uploaded them?

Could you be more specific about what symptoms you are seeing that make you believe that it's not working?

I've never used dual pricing, but a quick look at the code suggests no overlap between the code for that mod and the code for stock by attributes and therefore no reason why they shouldn't work together.

It wouldn't however surprise me if there was clash between dual pricing and pricing by attributes where it would be easy to see how the code might overlap.

I'm having a the same problem where my admin settings are set to "false" for allow checkout. but customers are able to checkout. at the shopping cart customers are correctly informed about how many items are in stock for the item with the specific attribute, if they try to order more than available, but they can still checkout.

I really doubt i have any backup files, but where would they be and what files are typically backed up?

I have reinstalled all the files using filezilla, 1st I originally used windows explorer. So that shouldn't be the issue.

I'm using a custom template, and the paypal module.

Does you customer template over-ride any of the files in the stock by attributes mod?

Spurious backup files are usually created by well-intentioned Zen Cart users who don't realise what they are doing, so it's not possible to tell you where they might be, but it doesn't sound as though you have made any.

Hi Cynthia

Thanks for posting back about this. Problems uploading and/or successfully over writing files is by far the biggest reason why this mod sometimes appears not to work.

In the days when I was still prepared to have a look at sites where it wasn't working, some 80-90% had this problem, even when their owners were convinced that they had uploaded the files correctly. So congratulations to you for being eagled-eyed enough to spot and correct the problem yourself.

[wireyourworld]

You're welcome! Surprising I noticed it today given my lack of sleep. Sheer determination (or stubborness). IMO this potential situation of uploading might be a good note to add to your readme. As well as those baby steps on page 12, I thought I did it right but it was nice to see it confirmed by your post there. :-) I too didn't know what the heck to do with the sql, I just guessed (correctly fortunately).

Thank you so much for replying! The first time I tried to upload the files, I put the whole thing in my public_html as its own folder. Then I put the files into the main folders of the site. It still didn't work. So I went back and upload the individual files into the admin and includes files of my public_html and emptied the separate Stock by attributes file.

I now have Products with Attribute Stock at the bottom of the Admin>Catalog drop down menu. YAAAAHH! And I can enter the amounts.

However, I don't see the Show Stock when Low line under Configuration>Stock.

Customers are not informed as to how much stock is left if they request more than is available and they are able to checkout even though we don't have the stock.

In Configuration>Stock my settings are
Check stock level True
Subtract Stock True
Allow Checkout False

I'm sorry if you've answered this problem before. After about post #150 my eyes started to glaze over

Thanks again for any help!

Try cutting, pasting and executing just this bit into your Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches page. I don't expect it to be a complete solution, but it may help your forward a step and give clues as to what the issue is.

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order,
last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)
VALUES ('Show available stock level in cart when less than order', 'STOCK_SHOW_LOW_IN_CART', 'false',
'When customer places more items in cart than are available, show the available amount on the shopping cart page:',
'9',
'6',
NULL,
now(),
NULL,
"zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),"
);
