Stock by Attributes 5.0 Beta (for v1.5.0)

davidmay354:

Sorry about the confusion.. I do need a function that will track stock by attribute, but allow for text or file upload attributes as well. I am work with a a company that sells apparel that can be monogrammed. They want to keep track of the inventory(ie: size and color)and let the buyer select the pieces they want and then upload a logo or text to embroidered on the shirt(s) they select.You're still not telling us how you got that to work with THIS version of SBA.. Because in my testing ALL attributes (text, etc) are turned into dropdown attributes and treated as sequenced dropdowns.. How did you get a different result??

Newest Alpha test version:

http://www.sidewalkstyles.com/Stock_by_Attributes_creinold_files_V1.5.0alpha1.4.zip

Anyone have a link to this? Each time I try to get to it, I get a 500 Server error :/

Ok, I'm trying to get my drop downs to at the very least show "out of stock" next to the items that aren't in inventory or have 0 inventory by the attribute. The only place it tells a customer that the item isn't available is once it's added to the cart? Have I missed something?

ok, well i got it to show something but it shows "Text_Out_Of_Stock" and for the out of stock message its the same type thing

I can't seem to find the page now, but there's some page somewhere that explains what changes need to be made to a module to make it work with 1.5. That page also mentions that files in admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes are ignored. I noticed there's still a file in there with this module... Is it being used or could it safely be deleted?

It seems erroneous to me as well. I deleted it from a clean, other than SBA, copy of v1.5, and noticed no difference. Does anyone know definitively if it should be deleted?

Does this plugin work with 1.3.9h?
I know the title says 1.5, but the first post in this thread says-

"Hey everyone here's the update of SBA for Zen-Cart 1.3.9H"

SBA Alpha for Zen-Cart 1.5 works for me.

SBA 5.0 does work in zencart v1.5,
Options including DropDown, Text, Radio,Checkbox,Grid, if put any attributes into product, need edit stock quantity
read-only has no problem.

I need to put text area for certain products which doesn't need put stock quantity, any suggestions, thanks a lot!

Can I got hold of this yet or is it still being tested for v1.5.0 I need it A.S.A.P it would really help me out.

I seem to have a similar issue with creinold's SbA module. I cannot get the SbA module not to detect textboxes, radios, checkboxes etc. It touches them all and turns them into drop downs then adds on quantities to them. It's driving me batty on how to tell it not to detect those.

Anybody have any luck with it?

Short answer.. Nope otherwise someone would have posted it or created/submitted yet ANOTHER SBA version.. Personally I recommended that my client's pay for a developer to create a working version of SBA that includes the ability to exclude certain attribute names from the stock variants. That's just what they did. I hired a developer on their behalf, and now that's JUST what they have.. Something that at LEAST works. No sequenced dropdowns, but at least they now have a fully functional working model..

It's just interesting that the SbA worked great before 1.5. Amazing what some changes can do to a module. But, for now I can squeak by it. I only need the textboxes for gift cards. Customers can put their information/requests into the comments area during checkout. So for now, I can get around it. If I get rather adventurous, I can spend time building a table and php to do what I need.

Thank you for the information about it. I'm glad I'm not using (or installed) it incorrectly. :blush:

Thank you for the information about it. I'm glad I'm not using (or installed) it incorrectly. :blush:Nope you are not using it incorrectly.. If you look back in this thread I posted the results of my testing of this particular SBA variant (there are SEVERAL variants of this module). I will continue to say that the last FULLY FUNCTIONAL version of SBA was v4.7 by Kuroi.. Everything release else after v4.7 has attempted to improve upon this version and IMHO each one has only added features that do not function as well as intended.. I was really hoping this particular version would work for me, but sadly it did not.. sigh

On another note (and at the risk of slightly hijacking this thread) if you are interested in another take on SBA, I would look up the any of the CEON modules, and find the author's user profile.. Go to his website.. It looks like he is developing some kind of SBA module of his own.. It looks like he took the ground up approach in building his module (creating something NEW versus putting lipstick on a pig:laugh:) Given Conor's general penchant and reputation for building kick assed Zen Cart modules, I have NO DOUBT that if he is building an SBA module is it worth a looksee..

Hi, I have creinold_SBA5.0_alpha_version1.5 installed on 1.5 and seems to be working fine on my test side. I have 2 attribute for my clothing, color and size. When my size said 40 is out of stock, the dropdown will show only size 38 and 42 , size 40 will not be available for selection, that's very good. But for the color attribute, when my blue color is out of stock for all the sizes, it still show in the color dropdown, how can I configure so that it will not show in the dropdown? Thank you.

I just installed this in a 1.5 new install and it's brilliant. Works perfectly and is easy. I am using it to track number of stock for different sizes of shirts.

Thank you to the developer!! BTW, for those finding this thread and seeing my post, the most recent files are on page 8 of this thread and were last updated in March 12 2012.

Same for me - can't seem to find SBA 5.0 (beta) for download. I'm looking for stock by attribute functionality for zencart 1.5 - hints are highly appreciated.

Look at the post just before yours... it says the most recent files are on "page 8" (March 12, 2012).

and you might want to read through the last 5 or so pages of this thread before installing.. this version isn't without it's share of issues.. your mileage may vary..

I am using this without problems, but I only have one drop down attribute group per product ie size / colour eg 12DD Black

If I used size and then colour as two drop down attribute groups, it may be another story.
