Stocks by attributes

[MB1]

this is kinda weird as for my first issue in the attributes drop down it states select size, but you can just byepass this and just click the add to cart button. which will add the product without attributes to the cart.

then in the shopping cart it will state that something is out of stock at the top but in the product list in the cart i have nothing indicating which product is out of stock.

This is not an SBA "issue" rather it's a Zen Cart attribute setup that makes this possible (required attributes). This FAQ article might help:

Do a forum search for required attributes. There are a few good threads that you might find useful.

When out of stock products are added to the cart, the cart looks like this:


Note that you can clearly see which items are the ones out of stock

@creinold Just found a minor text display glitch. One of my products does not have an image. When displaying the product list the image field displayed TEXT_IMAGE_NONEXISTENT instead of an image.
A search using the developers tool kit shows this term appearing in multiple define files.
I figured this means with no common use defined I had to add it specifically to SBA (?)
It worked :)

In file:

admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/products_with_attributes.php

add

define('TEXT_IMAGE_NONEXISTENT', 'No Image Exists');

before php close tag.

Also for consideration for improvement in the how to file:
In the installation section it should read
'There are five core Zen Cart files modified'
because
•admin/includes/stylesheet.css is no longer affected.

Thanks for the update Kevin, will add that to the next update I am working on.

I am having an issue with SBA, I would just like anyone to confirm they have or haven't the same behavior with the database.

When adding SBA to a product, in the database in the 'stock_attributes' field SBA adds by the attributes by csv. If you add manually each attributes I am getting a pattern in the database for example:

13228,14900
4635,13228
4636,13228
4637,13228
4638,13228

As you will see the first value are reversed and then the rest are the same format and SBA works fine.

But if I add using the 'All' option the database is populated like this:

13228,14900
13228,4635
13228,4636
13228,4637
13228,4638

And SBA does not work properly. If I then update stock levels SBA adds a duplicate Stock ID in the reverse order.

I have creinold's installed I have also tried last night Numinix's version and get the same results.

Further to my last post I have found the problem,

SBA adds the 'products_attributes_id' to the 'stock_attributes' field in products_attributes_id 'number order' (etc 1,2,3,4,5 ). So using 'ALL' seems to add in Attribute 'Sort' order not the ID order. So SBA will not see this 'stock_attributes' exist.

In my example:

13228,14900 -- 13228 is the colour and 14900 is the size
4635,13228 -- 4635 is the size and 13228 is the colour
4636,13228 -- 4636 is the size and 13228 is the colour
4637,13228 etc
4638,13228

Any help would be appreciated, I am looking for the code for add 'ALL' to edit to sort in attribute order.
Thanks

god i love beyond compare i just took a peek at the code in creinoid's updated files and my files and i was missing the attributes code on the \includes\modules\pages\shopping_cart\header_php.php

$flagStockCheck = zen_check_stock($products[$i]['id'], $products[$i]['quantity'],$attributes);
