Stocks by attributes

[edeades]

Thanks for the suggestions. I must be missing something. I went throug instructions again and copied files again. I still do not have the Products with Attributes under Catalog in Admin. Has anyone esle run into this problem.

I have a problem not listed in this thread that I have seen yet. I am running Zen 1.3.8 and the newest version of stock by attributes. The products with attributes section is located in admin>catalog and I am able to insert stock quantities but when you check out with products with a stock level of 0 no out of stock or error message appears. Configuration>Stock> Allow Checkout is set to 0. Any help?

I too would like to display the quantity available for each attribute. It seems that someone has worked this out but can't get it to not display attributes with zero qty. Does the attribute display show 0? If it does I'd be interested in making that addition. It's probably in this thread somewhere, anyone know how to find it or post it again?
Thanks a bunch.

I too am very interested to see if this module can hide attributes with zero qty. Also, can it display the quantity for each attribute rather than add up all of them?

Say you are selling



Soda
Sprite - AVAIL 3
Coke - AVAIL 1
Pepsi - AVAIL 1
Canada Dry - AVAIL 0 (DONT DISPLAY THIS!)

Is this possible?

Wanna share what you did.. it might help others who may be reading this thread..

the only thing is did is reinstall the files, one by one instead of that sketchy way of dropping the entire folder on the install, which doesn't confirm exactly what gets copied where... at least not in Cyberduck.

This is a common problem. Some FTP tools appear not to overwrite by default. This usually happens when you have installed your Zen Cart after the date the mod was written. So your Zen Cart has installation date stamps, but the mod has older ones and the FTP client thinks the installed files are more current.

Hopefully they prompt you with an option to overwrite, but this doesn't appear to always happen, especially when the default is not to overwrite "newer" files. In that case, it's important to check the log file. Incomplete uploads are by far the most common reason for Stock by Attributes not working.

Ahhhh good old Cyberduck.. The only (free) FTP app for the Mac I could find that had a decent feature set and GUI.. But you are right it occasionally does not consistently overwrite files correctly.. I found myself switching to my PC to do all of my FTPing because of that..

Sorry, I posted this in wrong thread before.
I am using "Stock by Attributes" v4.7a on ZC 1.3.8.

We have a number of shoes sizes for a particular shoe style and we allow people to pass through the checkout process when a particular size is out of stock, so it goes on back order. This then removes the qty ordered from the stock by attribute number.

If the TOTAL stock level for a particular shoe style goes negative because a large number of sizes are on back order, then ALL sizes that actually are in stock also now show out of stock in the cart.

I need to show when a product is out of stock based only on the stock by attribute and not if total goes 0 or negative. Is this a bug and/or can it be fixed?

I have taken a look at the files but can't find where the problem lies. Also, can't find a thread relating to this specific problem.

Thanks,
Dan

I realized how to adjust this.. I hope..

I went to Admin / Configuration / Stock

then changed Allow Checkout to false.

:)

Maybe this will help you.

Hi, thanks, but I need to allow checkout when there is no stock so items go on back order, i.e. negative stock levels for those sizes indicate how many outstanding shoes of those sizes need to be ordered so orders can be completed. The problem occurs when individual sizes that go -ve accumulate so the total stock for a particular style goes -ve. this then causees even sizes that are in stock to show as out of stock.

Thanks
Dan

I have installed the following module on 1.3.6 (the site just went live a few weeks ago)

Stock by Attributes
Version: 4.7
Zen Cart™ Version: v1.3.8

But when someone makes a purchase it does not deduct from the inventory level for products with attributes stock. It does deduct from the product category stock.

I have tried looking around for an answer to this problem and have not been able to fine one yet.

Has anyone had this same issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.
