Stocks by attributes

[cropinstop]

This indicates that the mod hasn't been installed properly and the stock calc code that was supposed to have been replaced isn't being executed. This can happen because a key file hasn't been uploaded (some FTP programs only replace existing files if you explicitly tell them to) or because a backup file has been created (by hand or by FTP program) and is over-riding the new code.

Compared all of my code with the 4.7multiadd version using "Beyond Compare", and could not find any errors. Are you sure the code is comparing the item order quantity to the stock quantity for the attribute being ordered?

Can you point me to the line in the code that does the comparison? perhaps I have a variable naming problem due to another installed enhancement.

1. Did you compare the code actually on your server, or to that which you believe you uploaded.
2. It's possible, though unlikely, that MULTADD operates differently. I haven't reviewed it in depth and can only speak to versions prior to that.

• Compared to code on online web. Have 3 copies (online, offline web, offline pc), all do the same. But since they have the same code for this feature, that is no surprise.
• I tested with both 4.7, and 4.7multiadd. Was running 4.7 until yesterday, updated to multiadd and no difference.

this mod may get you started on being able to only show the attributes in stock. I haven't looked at it but it looks like a dynamic display of dropdowns for attributes

the description of the mod is
"Dynamic drop downs based on stock values for the Stock by Attribute mod. Includes sequenced drop downs based on available stock."

Followup - a barebones VC1.3.8 test web with only Stock by Attributes added to the base does NOT allow purchasing of Out of Stock merchandise. Doing a compare of online site to test web to find the problem.

Took a look at it. The Readme cites three problems, so I am hesitant to install a "Work in Progress" on my online site, and do not have the expertise to debug it.

Thanks anyway...

Found the problem (or more correctly the cause of the problem)

If "Quick and Easy Checkout"is installed when running Stock by Attributes, the shopping cart will proceed to successful checkout when the quantity of an attribute ordered exceeds the quantity provisioned with Stock by Attributes.

The exact interaction and correction is beyond my level of expertise...

I wasn't sure if it would help you or not but wanted to throw it out just in case.

Is there a solution posted. Something someone might be able to help you work through?

No.. I am a systems designer, not a coder.

Hope so. My knowledge of PHP is one notch above zero.
