Product /Attribute Stock

Tracking the stock is at the product level. Can the tracking be done at the attribute level? if not, then how can you know the stock is running low for a small T-shirt (attribute level) or a large T-shirt?:frusty:

Stock by Attributes in Free Addons.

The installation instructions for this add-on include the following:

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.

Having just downloaded and decompressed the most recent version of the add-on, I find that the includes/modules/ folder contains no files and a single sub-folder called Pages.

I have renamed includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE but I can not find includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE.

Is there an error in the instructions or in the zipfile? Can I safely ignore this inconsistency or do I need to fix something?

Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for letting me know there is an add on I can use. I will try that and see if I run into the same problem with GKanes.

Look at the SBA support thread for information. If this is a real issue, it will probably have been covered there.

I have successfully installed the Stock by Attributes Add-ons. I ran into the same issue raised by Gkanes that there is no includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE, only includes/modules/pages. So I just sent the file to override the pages on the server. It seems to work ok.

However, Stock by Attribute does not resolve my problem totally. I have 2 option names/attributes under a product. The add-on only tracks by the combination of the 2 attributes and this works for T-shirts which the tracking of stock is for the combination of the size and color. My condition is different. I have an option name as "size". The other option name is Frame. option value for Frame can be wood metal, etc. and this option name/attribute "Frame" is an attribute which can be shared by multiple products. Eg. a poster size of 11x14 or 8x10 can be selected. Once the customer selects the poster A size then they can select a frame type wood. Another customer likes to have poster B with size 11x14 but also select frame type wood. Then Frame should be subtracted by 2 across the 2 posters which is at the product level. This means that I need a way to track an attribute across several products. Can anyone let me know whether there is a way or I will have to make Frame as a product by itself? If so, customer will have to go through separate buy to get a 11x14 poster A, then go to select Frame. I am hoping there is an easier way so the customer does not have a need to navigate too many screen to complete a product selection. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
