Stocks by attributes

[kellan4459]

Cropinstop,

I guess you have the problem fixed but I would like to understand this better. I am quite new to Zen Cart, so wondered if you could elaborate on your statement

>BUT, all selection menus for items that are not "stock by attributes"

What kind of attributes are you using that do not use "stock by attributes" such that they don't get displayed?

If I understand him correctly he is using his cart similar to the one I'm doing. In mine their are items that I will allow a qty of 20 no matter which attribute they select so I don't want to limit the cart to
qty 10 for attribute 1
qty 10 for attribute 2
I would prefer a qty 20 for the item as a whole so I could have
5 attribute 1
15 attribute 2
or vice versa

on the other hand I have other items where only so many per time slot so I want each attribute to have a limited qty. hope this makes sense.

Hi Kellan,

you lost me a little. I understand what you are trying to achieve, but no idea how you would! So long as everything works I don't suppose it matters!

[kellan4459]

for example
we offer a cinderella visit offsite or onsite. The item has a qty of 1000 because it is unlimited. I don't care how many onsite or offsite visits so I want to use the product qty and not specify an individual attribute qty.

You can see the example at

Then we offer things like Easter Bunny Pictures where each time slot has a maximum number available. Each time slot is a separate attribute with a qty set for the attribute rather than just the product. When a qty is set for the individual attribute I added code to show the available qty for the individual attribute.

You can see the example at

Hopefully that clears it up a little and is what Cropinstop is also trying to accomplish

Concur with Kellan's analysis.

I have items in local inventory where I use stock by attributes to track the availability of each color, size, etc;, but also sell dropshipped items, where I set the quantity for the item, independent of color, to a high number to reflect a virtually unlimited availability (assuming of course my wholesaler does not go belly up in this economy)

[cropinstop]

Found a combination of attributes that still have a problem (and probably can't be fixed).

Have a product with two sets of attributes - color and size.
setup stock by attributes as follows:

green, small : qty = 10

green, large : qty=10

red, small : qty =10

red, large : qty = 0

When I order red, large, the item is added to the shopping cart with the note it is out of stock, but the sale can be completed as if stock was available.

"configuration:stock:allow checkout" is set to false.

The problem with being able to order out of stock merchandise existed before this fix, and may be a problem unrelated to Stock by Attributes. Ideally, the red/large combination should not be selectable at all.

I get a blank page. Error tracking gives this error.

I have checked the uploaded files and I can't see what the problem is. Can we get some help please

[krazykev]

"Cannot redeclare class order" is implying that a class called "order" has already been declared. Have you installed any other contributions that may use an "order" class?

The cannot redeclare class error has been addressed several times already in this thread. It's caused either by creating backup files where you've loaded the new files or your FTP program doing it for you.

I had similar issues with Check In/Out creating a lock file that wasn't be cleared. Make sure the program you are using isn't doing something similar.

How are these added to the item? do you have a size and a color attribute? Or one attribute that has both size and color in it?
