Stocks by attributes

[newagekat]

Hi:

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I installed Stock by Attributes v4.7ajax on ZC 1.3.8a with security patches in place.

Additionally, the following are also included:
Improved attributes controllers
Ordered Step
Ultimate SEO v2.0.6
Admin Profiles v1.0.7.1

On the admin side it worked like a charm, though an explanation of Sync Quantities would be appreciated.

The problem lies on the front end. When I add an item to the cart, I am told
Products marked with *** are out of stock or there are not enough in stock to fill your order.
Please change the quantity of products marked with (***). Thank you

I checked and there is a large inventory for this item. I'm no coder, but can someone please show me what I need to do to fix this?

I have placed the site under maintenance so as not to confuse buyers.

I'm not going to ask about having the attribute with 0 stock disappear, I know how hard it is to accommodate everyone's request and still make a living, but it would be nice

I would really really appreciate some feedback today. I'm off on medical leave for 2 weeks and I need this fixed today! Many thanks.

I've never used that version, but know that it has a reputation for being incomplete, maybe somebody who has used it can add to that.

The idea of the sync quantities option is to synchronise the stock being held at product variant level with that being held for the product overall. This can be useful if you decide to stop using attribute level stock for a product.

thanks for replying. I checked the readme file and this is the latest download ( i downloaded Jan 15/2010) and the version is actually 4.7a for zc 1.3.8

In admin > configuration > stock, if I set Show available stock level in cart when less than order = true, the item in cart still has the same message, but next to the item it says Stock Available 0

Would you mind giving me a hand with this? I can add your IP to my list and give you access? if you have a moment, pleas PM me.

If you have 3 of a product variant in stock and add 5 to your cart, you will get the out of stock message. The store will not show you that you ordered two more than there is actual stock available. (if that's the question you are asking.)

[newagekat]

No, you misunderstand.

Say I have 500 small blue Item A and place 3 to my cart, I still get the out of stock error message. that's what weird. I may need to add that I am using the Cherry Template with some really modest modification for info appearance. I have not touched the code.

Kuroi, since you created this mod, can you please have a look? Sorry to sound so desperate, but I'm going in for surgery and I need this done today. If I have to pay someone then so be it.

I have turned off the maintenance so you can assist.

Kuroi:

Sorry to be a pest and so persistent. this is not an isntall issue. This is a code issue. I checked one of the other sites where I installed this mod, I get the very same thing. or maybe i missed something. please check http://commonwealthyarns.com/ for similar issue.

in includes/template/custom/template/tpl_shopping_cart_defult.php you have this code

<?php if ((STOCK_SHOW_LOW_IN_CART == 'true') && $product['flagStockCheck']) {
         echo '<span class="alert bold">';
         echo PWA_STOCK_AVAILABLE;
                 echo ((isset($product['stockAvailable'])) ? $product['stockAvailable']: 0);
         echo '</span>';
            }
?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Could this be the cause of it? in Admin > Configuration > Stock, I have Show available stock level in cart when less than order = false

I would be forever grateful.

Let's be clear.. Kuroi didn't create the SBA version you are using.. The version you are using is based on his original SBA mod.. Since Kurois v1.47 release others have come along to "improve upon" Kurois mod, and IMO all of these "other" versions have been problematic. (a lott through this thread and the other SBA thread will confirm this)

To his credit Kuroi has been very generous by continuing to participate in a support thread which by and large discusses versions of this mod he had NOTHING to do with other than writing the underlying code upon which subsequent versions were based on..

My opinion has been consistent. NONE of these other versions works well enough in my book to be bothered with. I stick to the original 1.47 version written by Kuroi.

Thank you so much for your response. I did not intend any insult and I do appreciate the work that goes into the mod and more specifically, answering all these questions.

That said, on this add on download page, http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=310, are you refering to this version:
This is a maintenance release that incorporating changes made for Zen Cart 1.3.8. There are no functional enhancements.
Author: Kuroi
Version: 4.7
Zen Cart™ Version: v1.3.8
Update added on Dec 02 2007

Can you tell me if it works with 1.3.8a with security patches? If so, would you be able to tell me what would be involved in reverting back to this version? would I need to make changes to the db or just over right files?

Thank for your time.

I don't run Zen Cart without the latest security patches.. So the answer to your first question is yes.. I don't have an answer for your second question.. I've tested one of the "other" SBA versions on a test store and did not rollback when I was done testing (I simply reset my test store) So I have no real insight on what it would take to rollback.. If I had to guess it would be to compare the files between the two versions and delete any files which do not appear in the Kuroi version and replace any files from other versions with the one's from the Kuroi version..

[newagekat]

Just wanted to give you an update. I reverted back to Kuroi's 1.4.7 version on both these sites. One of them now works like a charm. the other still has the same issue.

Here's a list of the mods also incorporated into the problem site. If you are aware of any conflict, I would really appreciate a head's up.
