Stocks by attributes

[DivaVocals]

HOWEVER... I am confused about installation?

Does this package not support overrides?
I understand there are NO ADMIN overrides but the INCLUDES install baffles me. To now, I have used overrides for everything I have done so far PER the recommendations here. I again understand for the admin you will be replacing core files.

The instructions that come with the install of this ABS package seem old and or incorrect?

These instructions are not old or incorrect at all. Kuroi is one of the most experienced guys around here, and his install instructions for 4.7 version of SBA - Stocks by Attributes (Not ABS) are absolutely spot on and indeed using the Zen Cart overrides system correctly.

The README.HTML says this:

Prepare the package for upload to your server by renaming the following folders to match your template name: includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE and includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE.

HUH? Modules? Shouldn't this be includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME ???

Short answer is no. Follow the instructions and rename all the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders in the SBA install package to match your template's folder name. If you are using ver 4.7, these files are from an older version of Zen Cart. So you will need to make sure they include not only the required SBA code, but all the latest updates for these files (if there are any) from the latest Zen Cart version.

OK then the other directories in includes with this package. Are you really replacing core files or should they be put in overrides?
For instance the instructions say this:

There are six core Zen Cart files modified by this add-on. If you have installed other add-ons or customized your cart since your Zen Cart installation or upgrade, you will need to check whether they have changed any of the following files:
•admin/includes/stylesheet.css
•admin/orders.php
•includes/classes/order.php
•includes/functions/functions_lookups.php
•includes/modules/pages/checkout_shipping/header_php.php
•includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php

I understand I WILL be replacing the admin files but shouldn't the others be like:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/ ????
includes/functions/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/
and so on?

So for instance the PAGES directory. Am I support to REPLACE the 2 CORE directories "checkout_shipping" and "shopping cart" or should I be doing this:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/pages/checkout_shipping etc??

Again, the short answer is no.. The instructions are correct.. The files listed here are not part of the Zen Cart override system and as such they must be overwritten by the files in the install package (as indicated in the instructions). Again, if you are using ver 4.7, these files are from an older version of Zen Cart. So you will need to make sure they include not only the required SBA code, but all the latest updates for these files (if there are any) from the latest Zen Cart version.
