Stocks by attributes

[Tayste_2000]

I haven't checked explicitly, but I'd be surprised if the other variants of the mod were using a different table structure, so you shouldn't need to re-install the SQL. If you did need to drop database tables you would use a tool such as phpMyAdmin.

I fear that you may be looking for the problem with your attribute display in the wrong place. My version of stock by attributes doesn't go near that and nor does the multiadd version. I wondered if the AJAX version might have an impact (I haven't used it) but can't see anything on the page you gave that would do so.

So I'm left wondering whether the problem is actually that there's something a little off in the way your option, the option values, or the product attribute have been set up.

Wouldn't surprise me I'll delete my attribute and start adding it again.

Thanks

Before you rush out to do that, since the attribute did appear to be there, I'd check that you have the option values correctly hooked up the option that you are using for your attribute.

I think I have maybe I'm not doing it quite right?

It's been a long time since I've looked at this, but I suspect that it doesn't work with with text attributes, but maybe somebody who's used it more recently than me can chip in here ....

I can confirm.. Just had a training session with a client last night to show her how to use SBA.. Doesn't work with text attributes.. As I explained to my client, this is mean to work with products with tangible attributes such as size, color, etc..

Is there any easy way to uninstall all the patches etc as i really do need the text one available or is there some altering of code that can be done?

Not sure I understand your question..

Which patches are you referring to??

What do you mean by "i really do need the text one"??

If in your second question you are referring to a text attribute, there is no method in any flavor of SBA to tie a text attribute to stock. SBA in it's current flavors is meant to work for tangible types of attributes (such as size, or color). I know this applies to Kurois version,a nd I'm pretty sure it is supposed to applie to the other flavors as well..

If I am understanding you correctly (and you will have to confirm), it sounds like you are looking for the ability to have non-stock bearing attributes along with stock bearing attributes appklied to a product.

For example let's say you have the following product variant:
T-Shirts
Size: Small
Color: Blue
Number in Stock: 6

Customer could select this product combo (Small, Blue T-Shirt) and also be given an option to have the shirt personalized. The product page would include a textbox attribute where the customer could enter the text they want on the t-shirt.

This would require SBA to allow you to flag some product attributes as non-inventory attributes. Now here's the bad news.. If this is the kind of functionality you are looking for, this mod simply will not support that..

I am looking to move the text that says

"In Stock"

Next to the area where the attributes are instead of where it is.
also is there a way to make a square around the entire area?

Well since I am wishing... Also make the background of that block a different color....

Tried and failed miserably.... Here is the unmodified section.

Does this mod in any way create unique SKUs for each product/attribute combination by appending the attribute onto the base SKU?

I'm searching real hard for a way to sync my Zen Cart with a Quickbook point of sale system, but Zen Cart's attribute system is making it basically impossible, I need separate SKUs for each attribute combination.

Thanks.

Stock by Attributes mod by decantlor. Code:

You should probably re-post your question in a separate thread.. What you are asking about has more to do with customizing your product info page, and nothing to do with the SBA mod at all..
