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

[pRS317]

I just installed this and tested it on an item. I put a total quantity of 1000, and an attribute with two selections, one with 999 in stock and the other with 1 in stock. It seems I can put 1000 each in the cart without getting an out of stock message...am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

I uninstalled zen cart and resintalled it and the module and now everything seems peachy. Obviously some error on my part was to blame.

Ok, I've been using the older version of this mod (4.7 I believe) on my store (1.3.8) and it works fine. However, I just noticed an update to this mod (4.7a) that allows, quote:

"NOTE: This is a simple modification to version 4.7 that allow multiple attribute combinations to be added at the same time."

I installed this mod by overwriting all the files on my server. I also got rid of the file includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/attributes.php
as it says to do in the instructions when upgrading from previous versions.

However, I do not see how it works any differently than the previous one. How do I add multiple combinations at the same time? Right now I just go to` Catalog> Products With Stock Attributes, find my product, select the attribute and click "Edit Quantity". Then on the next page I modify the quantity and click submit. Where is the difference?

I'm going to try to make this as simple as possible. Try to... haha

I have everything installed and everything works great, but im having three issues.

Ive read thru 90+ pages and havent found a clear cut answer and dont want to spend the time changing every line twenty times till something works (I work full time and this "webstore" is not my full time gig).

I am selling Products that come in many colors.
I have it setup so that on the Product page, there are check boxes for each variation. I need it to stay this way.

Problem 1
If I dont select a checkbox, I can continue the order without anything selected and even check out! Is there a way to only continue if only a check box is selected?

Problem 2
This Product page also serves as a history of the different variations of the product for consumers information. When a product is no longer available, I would like to keep it on the Product page.
Is there a way to eliminate the checkbox for that variation? Or is there a way to have an add to cart on each variation, versus using checkbox's and having one general add to cart?

Problem 3
I have two variations, one with a stock of 4, one with a stock of 0. The stock of 4 works great and doesnt allow someone to check out with more than 4, but the one with zero, even though it gives the warning message, it will let you checkout with an order.

Thanks in advance everyone.

This site has helped me out sooooo much!

I have just updated my stock by attributes to the multi add version.

I am not a programmer and had been looking for something like this to save time so this is great.

I have one small requirement which I hope would improve it for every one and I am sure it would be simple to do but I am not a programmer

I use the word: "please select" as an 'attribute' as the default and I use the feature that this is for display purposes only. However when using this mod to add all varients it pulls in this attribute so I end up with a field/product in the stockby attriibutes list which is irrelevant - eg a product combo of "please select, please select" and then a product combo of: "please select, 0-6 months".

Can this be avoided. I am sure that if the flag for display purposes only is used in the sql statement it would be able to avoid this (on a t-shirt set with colour and size choices it gave me 25 irelevant combinations for example.)

I hope this is possible and would benefit others I am sorry I don't have the skills to do it my self and provide it for the community.

Thanks

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.

Kuroi,

Thanks for the great mod. I can now stop refunding customers and preventing them from coming back.

However, I have couple of questions since I'm having some difficulty creating query regarding above-quoted message.

How should I match my MS-Access data that does not include Zen-cart's products_id and stock_attributes fields with Zen-Cart's? I'm not in a power to specify neither products_id nor stock_attributes when I created them.

How would you write a query if I could import products_attributes, products and products_options_values tables into my MS-Access DB (or any DB), when I also had, for the convenience, Easy Populate importable table?

Hi,

I am using Stock by Attribute mod, which is great because its for a store selling clothing so it obviously needs different sizes. I don't want to show the total amount of stock but the amount of stock of each size and to not show the sizes that are out of stock. How do I do that? I can do PHP editting and some MySQL so if you could tell me how to fetch it/which tables (no phpMyAdmin here) that would be great!

Thanks

I've installed Stock by Attribute Module Version 4.6 and am running ZenCart Version 1.3.7 . After running SQL file. The admin portion of store is running correctly but customers are not able to check out they get the following error upon checkout:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class order in /var/www/vhosts/kasmarpro.com/httpdocs/smokejumpers/includes/classes/order.php on line 20

Hi,

I have a similar question/s to Dzy.

I am working on a store that sells clothing so it obviously needs different sizes and each size that is in stock will have different stock levels.

1. Is it possible to use the Stock by Attribute in conjunction with Easy Populate Advanced in some way so that it is possible to mass upload products to Zencart and have the sizing attribute information, including the stock level on hand for each size, uploaded along with the rest of a products information when using Easy Populate Advanced.

I hope I am not missing something obvious, as it seems a little odd to mass upload say 100 or more products just to have to log into the admin back end, and one by one, set up the stock levels for each size for each shirt.

I am also hoping that if it is possible to do this, or if anyone out there is doing this, that someone/they can post a description of what would be required. If MySQL or PHP are required then I should have the necessary skills to make and test modifications. I am just not familiar with the Zen Cart database structure.

2. Assuming that 1. above is possible. Is it then possible to display the stock level on hand in the shop when on a products page and on the category home page? Or if this is not possible is it possible to stop someone checking out if there is zero stock on hand for a particular sized shirt?

thanks in advance,
Ben

I want to install this Contribution.

Instead of over writing the existing pages what are the codes that need to be over written or inserted?
