Stocks by attributes

[s58smith]

Would it also be possible to add the text sold out to the dropdown list, when the stock is 0 ?

I tried the following changes in attributes.php and appears to get you part of what you want.

removed the following line:
and (pwas.quantity > 0 or pwas.quantity IS NULL)

Altered the else where setting the text output.
else
{
if($products_options->fields['quantity'] == 0) {$products_text_to_use = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . " (Sold Out)";} //improperly hard coded
else {$products_text_to_use = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'];}
}

and if the customer selects a sold out product he/she will not get the checkout button of instead of the button the text wil appear that that option is unavaible !

Everything is possible, but this is beyond my ability. I would think this might need to be some JavaScript coding or something else browser side.

I posted this question a few months back and never got a solution, and have seen other people post similar questions.

I have a clothing store that has items with size, and an optional monogram text box.

When I try to add a variant I am presented with 2 dropdown boxes as expected. I choose the size I want and choose ALL for my monogram attribute. Since the only option under monogram is TEXT the item appears out of stock unless someone puts text in the box.

I was thinking of the idea of adding some text in the box by default, like "none", but the monogram attribute adds an additional $10 to the cost of the item. I really need to be able to set stock independent of the monogram attribute. Is there a way to ignore a certain attribute, or in my case I would like to be able to ignore all text attributes in the stock.

Can anyone help me?

1. Are you using "Products with Attributes Stock"?

If yes then sounds similar to my issue on wanting only one selection effecting stock. Read my responses a few post ago you'll I note that had similar issues when a product has multiple "option names" applied.

If no then not understanding question.

You may be able to implement a hack similar to that done by yellow1912, but in this case to suppress the text attribute from being affected by stock by attribute.

Hello Kellan,

Were does this peace of code have to go, were do i put it ?

regards,

I have changed my includes/modules/attributes.php file. Here is the code changes I have made. If you search the if line you should be able to locate it in your code.


This is around line 119 in my code

if($products_options->fields['quantity'])
					{
						$products_text_to_use = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' ' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_OPEN . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' ' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_CLOSE . ' ';
					}

This is around line 208 in my code

if ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_type'] != PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_TEXT and $products_options_names->fields['products_options_type'] != PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_FILE) {
//       $products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'];
// gbm - replaced original line above to display attribute stock amount beside attribute
			
       		$products_options_details = $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'] . ' ' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_OPEN . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_CLOSE . ' ';
      		
	  	}

This is around line 218 in my code

if ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_images_style'] >= 3) {
       		$products_options_details .= $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
//       $products_options_details_noname = $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
// gbm - replaced original line above to display attribute stock amount beside attribute
       		$products_options_details_noname = ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_OPEN . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_CLOSE . ' ' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '<br />' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
      	} else {
       		$products_options_details .= $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
//       $products_options_details_noname = $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
// gbm - replaced original line above to display attribute stock amount beside attribute
       		$products_options_details_noname = ' ' . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_OPEN . $products_options->fields['quantity'] . ' '. TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES . TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_CLOSE . ' ' . $products_options_display_price . ($products_options->fields['products_attributes_weight'] != 0 ? '' . $products_options_display_weight : '');
      	}
     }

I also have changed the language file for product_info.php to define the following

define('TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES','Available');
define('TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_OPEN','(');
define('TEXT_ATTRIBUTES_PIECES_CLOSE',')');

This changes 'pieces' to 'Available'.
This also will allow me to change the grouping symbols in one place for all of what were hard coded '[' before. In case the customer doesn't like the brackets.

Hope this helps.

Hi All.

At the moment, I am using a similar mod to this called "stock_by_attributes_4-7MULTIADD"

This is working well apart from one little niggle.... when an attribute reaches QTY=0, it is still displayed in the drop down menu.

My question is whether or not this mod "stockattribute_by_danielcor_3-01-1" has a setting that would tell the drop down to HIDE attributes with stock level QTY=0 ??

If it's possible then I'd definitely change over because at present I need to manually delete each attribute when it reaches zero... very annoying...

I'm also running the dynamic dropdown mod which is supposed to help here but does not seem to work at all.

Any help/advice would be vastly appreciated.

@limelites

There is no benefit whatsoever in going back to Danielcor's version 3.

The version 4 series of Stock by Attribute was built by taking that older version, adding some functionality and fixing a heap of minor bugs. You won't find anything in there that's not in version 4, though I can't speak specifically about MULTIADD as I've not used that, but I doubt that any functionality was removed when that release was built.

[limelites]

OK, point taken.

I don't suppose you know how to make an attribute with QTY=0 disappear from the drop down list of attributes?

several of us have modified it to different versions of what you are looking for. This post should help you:

You also may want to look at page 56 and 57 as I believe this is where it is discussed.

Hope that helps.
