Actually it's not that odd at all since this FIX only works with ONE SINGLE attributes.. It's not included in the Stock by Attributes code because at best it would be a HALF solution based on what Stock by Attributes allows you to do. If you refer to the readme file included:
Stock By Attributes is meant to track stock for product variants. A product variant is a combination of attributes which have stock associated with them.

This often referred to "fix" only addresses single attribute variants. Hence why it is NOT included in the Stock By Attributes add-on. A REAL solution would be to address the display of ALL product variants not just single attribute variants..

I wanted to make it CLEAR to anyone who thinks this fix will work with multiple attribute variants.. (It doesn't..)

Thanks for specifying that, I just realized tonight that it only works for one attribute. What a disappointment. Is there no way to make this work for more than one attribute?

It's software.. of course there is a way to do this.. But the question should be, "Has someone released a version of SBA which includes this feature??" The answer is no..

Is there some solution to the problem of letting a customer know whether or not stock is available with their chosen attributes before they attempt to go to checkout? This is what seems like it should be basic functionality to me in a shopping cart.

It's software.. It can be done, but if anyone has found a solution, they have not shared it with the community.. The upcoming Zen Cart 2.0 release will include these features..

You might wanna take a looksee at the Grid Attributes add-on.. It has been written to work specifically with SBA.. If you want to get a sense of what it does, check out this link:

Looks good - I'll be all over it first thing in the morning. Thanks DivaVocals.

I installed a fix that will take away the selection if its not in stock.

as in

Small - 0
Med - 0
Large - 8

Will just show

Large

However, when that goes out of stock. I get an error like this listing

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') AND pa2.products_attributes_id IN (11937) ' at line 3
in:
[SELECT count(DISTINCT pa1.options_id) AS matches FROM products_attributes pa1, products_attributes pa2 WHERE pa1.products_attributes_id IN () AND pa2.products_attributes_id IN (11937) AND pa1.options_id = pa2.options_id]

So I am pretty well versed in mod installs, etc... however in the install file it just says "merge changes if you have other mods installed that use these same files."

Well, I DO have ohter mods that have changed these same files...

How come the install doesn't tell me what relevant code needs to be merged, and where it should be placed in the php files? Am I missing something here?

Thanks all

simply put because the mod author didn't offer the add-on that way.. and honestly almost all Zen Cart add-ons are packaged up the exact same way.. You will need a tool like Winmerge to make sure you incorporate only the changes needed for the add-on to work in any files that may be overwritten by the add-on..

man really? I feel like a majority of people would fail miserably at this task then... heck I might too, haha. Looks like I might be sticking with OSC afterall.... unless somebody else has some tips?
