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

[avastyebucs]

I'm having an issue with this mod that I'm sure is just some oversight on my part.

I have added a quantity for all attributes on a particular product. (Haven't tried more than one product until I get it working for one)

Whenever I show one attribute as sold out, the user gets a notification in his shopping cart that any attribute of that product is sold out. (gets the red ***)

I wouldn't recommend this. Because of its insertions into the core code, this mod is quite sensitive to the version of Zen Cart to which it is added.

Instead, I'd recommend popping back and grabbing a copy of version 4.6, which is compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.7

Thank you kurio! I went with 4.6. Easy as pie to install and now my customers will know when an item is on backorder.

I have one more issue I would like to resolve and that is to get a qty sales report that is broken down to my attributes so that I can manage my inventory better and hopefully avoid back orders all together. Do you have a suggestion for that one?

Thanks again,
Marc

Hi,

Im not sure if I am being blind or stupid or both.

I just reread the read me and it says allow multiple attribute combinations to be added at the same time.

How do I do that? I can only get one attribute at a time,

For example I would like:
Colour --> Red
Colour --> Green
Colour --> Pink

All added at the same page,

Thanks

I read that as well now. But I have no answer.

[FONT=Verdana]This was the answer from the mod creator. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]1) in the field "Suchen" you can filter your products; you see only products with attributes[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]2) in the product line you see an entry called "Add Quantity For Product Variant", now you can add quantity & the combinations will be created[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]3) if you will change "Quantity in Stock", click at the value and an input-field opens; do it for all your values and do not forget to click the "store" button[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]I have not been able to get it to work yet. He provided a link to a test admin but it had protection or something that would not allow me to do a search for anything from the Suchen [FONT=Verdana]field. [/FONT]this totally did not work in my new test site it may or may not have worked if I could test it in his. if you want the link to his test admin PM me. I would love to get to the bottom of this but for now I am going to stop testing and maybe I think someone still needs to work on this mod. [/FONT]

I'm having a problem with the attribute stock count not reducing by the appropriate order number when an order is successfully completed. For example, if someone orders Attribute A, the count for the attribute variant should be one less than prior to the order. However, there is no change in the attribute variant (quantity in stock) count but the main inventory (quantity in all variants) reflects a reduction in inventory. Do I have to manually reduce the quantity in stock (attribute) when an order is placed? Isn't this done automatically? I'm using Zencart vs.1.38. with Products with Attributes 4.7 ajax. I have recheck and reinstalled the mod several times with the same result.

Setup in Admin:
Check Stock Level = True
Subtract Stock = True
Allow Checkout = False

SQL patch successful.

Hello,

I am using zencart 1.38a and upgraded from 4.7 to the ajax version.

The problem I am having is now "catalog", "products with attributes stock" is not displaying correcly, instead it shows as the screenshot below. It was fine before I upgrade to ajax.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think this is the way it was made. I had a look at the admin demo (ajax) of the developer of the update and it also looked like this. This mod needs some work. If you use the 4.7 multiadd version and not the 4.7 ajax version you wont have this problem. multiadd version is just below the ajax version in the contributions.

I have not tested it but you could try [FONT=Verdana]installing [/FONT]a different or older version of Stock by Attribute .

Maybe I am beating a dead horse by suggesting this but. I really need to have SKUs for attributes. Would it be possible to add another input field in the "Add/Edit Quantity For Product Variant" for skus? I know this is a great deal of work to edit each individual attribute but would be worth it for me in the end. It seems like an easy thing to do. I would think you would just create another column in the DB and then add some code to the products_with_attributes_stock.php Admin file, but this is a little beyond my ability at the moment.

I know that many others have tried to do this dynamically, such as adding the product id + attribute to create a new product + attribute id without success. I just thought this might be something that could work very easily.

Dead horse #1 Mod "NewWay to save Attributes Modelnumbers" uses the attributes controller and definitely does not work http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...s+Modelnumbers

Another "dead horse" is Mod "Unique SKU for each attribute?" http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...te+skus&page=3

So I've been trying to get this mod up and working and managed to get it up and working (for the most part...there's an odd issue-or maybe not so odd and I'm just an idiot-that I have to delete the includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_attributes.php file in order to deactivate the add-on which I have been having to do while figuring out the various issues. So.....I think I'm finally getting somewhere and then I run into a HUGE issue.... what happens when you have a TEXT input field???? For instance. I have a picture frame that comes in 2 colors )black and white. Then you can engrave a name on which ever one you select. You currently can't even attempt this because it appears this mod turns every option into a dropdown...including text input fields.

I'd even be ok to just NOT use this particular mod with those products but since I have to disable the file mentioned above, I can only have it one way or the other....Anyone have any ideas here where I could either make it so that only products that I add variants for make use of the add-on while leaving the other one's alone???
