Linking same stock attributes to more than one product

Hi,

I'm setting up a new cart system for my site using zencart.

I sell dyes in 40 different colours. On my current site, I offer them as individual products or as part of a kit.

In my new shop, I've set up the product page to sell individual dyes. But, I can't figure out how to set up the kit product so that it uses the same stock (and deducts them from inventory). I only keep a maximum of three of each colour in stock.

Is this possible to do?
Thanks.

Re: Linking same stock attributes to more than one product

By default, ZenCart does not support inventory of attributes or "kit" making.
You should look at the 3rd party module "stock-by-attribures" for what it offers and for the kits you may require some additional custom code for the inventory tracking.....you might also look at X-Sell module

I'm already using stock by attributes. I'll have a look at cross selling.

Thanks.
