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

[jeffreydesign]

To be fair, I have to admit that I didn't use THIS mod to cause all the grief I caused. I used the Attributes Separate Stock (I mitakenly downloaded that one and not THIS one) and now my site is hosed. Of course I backed it up, but when I replaced all the files I changed with originals, it's messed up worse than it is now, so I had to revert to the modded versions that doesn't show attribute options. Something happened but I don't know what. I know I added a SQL command (the one listed above) could that be what's messing me up, and can I easily undo it?

Thanks for any help on this.

Sometimes you wish you could delete those panic posts... Anyway it turns out to be ./includes/modules/attributes.php that was the culprit. Now everything is back to sort of normal until I foul it up again.

I own a clothing site and have a lot of shirts to upload onto zencart with easy populate from a spreadsheet application. In doing so I need to control the quantities of each size for each Shirt.

Has anyone overcome this problem and if so how. Any tips or tricks will be most appreciated

Easy Populate's strength is that it takes a single source of data and makes all the connections necessary to split that data between a number of database tables. However, it only knows about the tables in Zen Cart's core code, i.e. knows nothing about the table added for Stock by Attributes.

You could amend Easy Populate to add the code needed to recognize and populate it, but this seems unnecessary to me, since this mod only adds one table. You could therefore separate your attribute stock data off into a separate table, save it as a CSV file and use MySQL's built-in csv import capabilities to upload it directly.

Hi Jeff

Sorry to hear about these problems. Glad you got to the bottom of it.

Unfortunately I don't know of a support thread for the "Attributes Separate Stock" mod. If anybody else does, maybe they could post a link here?

Thanks - I couldn't find a support thread or wiki for "Attributes Separate Stock" either. I did install Stock by Attributes and it works perfectly for my Jewelry store.

Now I have a huge inventory to update. I only wish there was an easy way to transfer the inventory qtys from one table to the other, like something that distributes the total qty evenly across all possible derivatives (since for me, that's how it is - I try to have one or two each of each style/size.) Sort of like the reverse of the sync quantity.

Thanks! Jeff

I have just installed Stock by Attribute v4.7 and was very excited to find the Catalog->Priducts with Attributes Stock tag.

I was celebrating too early though because when I clicked on this it took me to URRL: My site/admin/FILENAME_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK.php
which of course doesn't exist. I know I need to put in the filename but I have no idea which file it is referring to or how I do this.

Please help!

Something is wrong with your admin/includes/extra_datafiles/products_with_attributes_stock_filenames.php file.

Do you have that file on your server?

What type of server is your site hosted upon?

I have searched the thread but I haven't found the exact answer, has the issue with checkboxes been resolved? I can't set stock levels for attributes that have checkboxes without having one of the checkboxes selected, if you see what I mean. We have many products with multiple attributes which has been a headache with stock levels in themselves. Most attributes are radio buttons and some have checkboxes as well as radio buttons and that is where my problem lies.

Thanks!

The mod doesn't support checkboxes (or text fields). Most attribute types allow only one value per attribute. Checkboxes allow you to have any number which would represent a huge uplift in the mod's complexity and probably necessitate a completely different approach.

However, in most of the cases that I seen where clients wanted to mix checkboxes and stock, they were actually trying to cross sell additional products and it was possible to achieve the intended results by treating them as separate products with their own stock (as they really should have been). Though I don't know whether that would apply to your situation.

I have reloaded all the files and is now working fine.

Thanks

just upgraded to 1.38a and reinstalled stock by attribute, and now it doesn't work properly example: if i have 2 x 16oz gloves left in stock but 8 in all, anyone can order 8 16oz gloves without getting a warning, and if they go over the total amount of gloves and the warning now just stats that that there is 0 gloves available. it worked fine before the upgrade and reinstall.

any help would be great.
