Stock For Product With Different Attributes (OLD)

Well... right in the first quote your wrote it says he's figured it out and will post when he can :)

I have created the database table and uploaded all the files as per the instructions given with the zip file.

However, I am not sure what needs to be amended. The readme.txt it mentions an amendment will need to be made to orders.php but I cannot see what needs to be amended.

Please can anyone advise?

I have checked the database and a table has been created with the standard prefix zen_products_with_attributes_stock and all the fields are showing.

However I am also getting the 1146 Table 'fancynt1.TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK' doesn't exist error when i go in to the admin program and try to use Products with attribute Stock.

I have read through this entire thread and I am encountering some of the same problems people are having. I have installed this module and all is working well. One question remains though. We have recieved alot of orders from people who are continuing with the checkout process even though the message displays that we are out of stock on that particular attribute combination. For instance.

Sweatshirt:

Attribute Size: Small, Large, X-Large

Color: Red, Green, Blue

If our stock of Small Red sweatshirts is 0 and someone selects it, it displays the correct message that we are out of stock in the cart. However, the customer either doesn't see the message, or doesn't bother reading it and places the order anyway.

Is there an easy way to remove or disable the "Checkout" button when such message/error is shown to prevent them from continuing and processing the order?

This will circumvent the hassels and headaches we are currently having to deal with.

You can see the example here: http://www.shippingonly.com/index.php?main...products_id=746

try ordering in size 6. The message will appear, but you can continue your order if you don't read it.

The Configuration-->Stock-->Allow Checkout setting is already set to false

Diode, i have to ask a quick question about the install process if you have got the module working well can you advise what needs to be done other than copying the files down to the relevant locations?

I added the database and copied the files down as per the instructions but still get errors although i know the table has been added correctly with the zen prefix.

solutionsfast, that is pretty much all that was done. Copied the files into the relative locations, added the table. Then I added a product, gave it a few attributes.

In the admin section under categories-->Products With Attributes Stock section, the product appears. Then all you have to do is "Add Quantity For Product Variant" selection the correct attributes, add the quantity for that choice and its done.

Works fine except for my question.

After a little tinkering around, I believe that I fixed the "problem" that I was having. I edited the cart code, so now if anything that shows out of stock, it removes the button and link to proceed with the cart.

For those that would like to know, or anyone with any better ideas, here is what i edited.

includes-->templates-->template_default-->templates-->tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

The original code on line 270 was

<td class="main" align="right"><? echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></td>

I changed the code as follows

<?
  if ($any_out_of_stock == 0) {
?>
 <td class="main" align="right"><? echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></td>
<?
   } else {
?>
 <td class="main" align="right"></td>
<?
   }
?> 

It seems to work so far. Anybody with a better suggestion?

All that should be taken care of with the core files... if you have the option to not allow checkout on out-of-stock items set, then that should be that. I'm not sure why yours wasn't working but I don't think it had anything to do with this mod.

has anyone upgraded yet to 1.3?
I just installed a demo store to see what the diff's are, but haven't "upgraded" yet. I was just wondering if anyone had any problems with this mod.

Not sure if anyone has posted this or not, but if you provide downloads on your cart (1.2.x) remember to add stock for the downlolad in your stockbyattributes otherwise the download won't work. Customers will be charged and unable to download the product.

I know, I am looking for the updated version of this contribution that works with Zen Cart 1.3.0 release. I know for a fact it works with all older versions as I got it to work in those(1.2.5 = 1.2.6.d), but getting it to work in 1.3.0 is a much harder problem when you follow the readme install you should quickly discover a nasty error once you upload the functions_lookups.php file, to a 1.3.0 store.

If you skip that part and leave the older version in place, you will find when the products with assigned attributes do not update to notify the customer the product is not available.

I know it suppose to be released with Zen 1.4 but that could be ages**..Is there anyone, who got it to work with 1.3.0 standard install ???? **:(

I do not need all the bells and whistles, just this basic contribution to work in 1.3.0, as this version of Zen actually validates and is much friendlier to search engines then the older version of zen stores.

Can anyone tell me if you delete an order should the stock get populated back into the right stock by attribute.

If not what would it take to get this to happen as it is not happening with me.

I have asked a similar thing within the super orders thread - if you edit and delete a line using the SO mods functionallity can it re-populate the stock back into the right place in the Stock by attribute table.

I am not a programmer but if a solution can be found this would be fantastic.

many thanks

cg3001 - I didn't have a problem with the functions_lookups file - I used winmerge to make sure the original 1.3 script was all included.

The problem comes with the **tpl_shopping_cart_default.php **in includes/templates/template_detault/templates/ This file seems to have been completely 'emptied' in 1.3. Adding the snippet of code from the stock_with_attributes file causes an error, so I've left it out for now...

I've got the mod 'working' up to a point (ie it doesn't crash) - the admin side works find, and the attributes show up next to the product. But it doesn't update the attributes stock, or check attribute stock quantities.

My feeling is that this isn't going to work without some serious digging around in the 1.3 code - it would be nice, as a starter, to know where all that shopping-cart code has gone!? You walk into that file and you get the feeling that someone has been at it with a large vacuum cleaner :huh:

Does anyone else have a handle on this, or have they got this mod to work on 1.3? Any help greatly appreciated.

I compared all the files and I think the tpl_shopping cart is the one that is most significantly different.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough to try to get it to work...I could really use it though!

I'll preface this by saying I have not yet installed 1.3, nor do I use the contrib you are trying to convert...

But, I know the 1.2x code pretty well and a trick I use a lot when code moves is to find a snipet of code that appears in tpl_shopping_cart_default.php that you know probably still exists but has just been moved in the new version and search the new fileset in your dev environment (I use PhpED) for that code snipet.

Doing that, in this case it looks like the shopping cart code has been moved into includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php

There is also code in includes/classes/order.php that also deals with product attributes (around line 427).

Not sure how much this helps but it may at least get you looking in the right place. ::tup

So it seems there is no way to have Stock show up for individual attributes in Zen 1.3?

Not in 1.3.0, no.

1.3.x will see it at some point... ;)

Can't wait for that! :D

I am attempting to utilize s_mac's edits to pre-populate the quantity when adding stock, but I am having no luck w/ it. I see that Joostvdl made some corrections later, and I'm not sure that I am understanding those corrections properly.

Here is my code following each of s_mack's 2 edits:```
foreach($product_attributes as $option_name => $options)

{

echo '<p><strong>'.$option_name.': </strong>';

echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('attributes[]',$options).'</p>'."\n";

}



echo '<p><strong>Quantity: </strong>'.zen_draw_input_field('quantity', $_GET['q']).'</p>'."\n"; /*s_mack:prefill_quantity*/

}

else

{

echo zen_draw_form('final_refund_exchange', FILENAME_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK, 'action=add', 'post', '', true)."\n";

and```
 	echo '</td>'."\n";

   echo '<td style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #ccc">'."\n";

   echo '<a href="'.zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK, "action=edit&products_id=".$products->fields['products_id'].'&attributes='.$attribute_products->fields['stock_attributes'].'&q='.$attribute_products->fields['quantity'], 'NONSSL').'">Edit Quantity</a>'; /*s_mack:prefill_quantity*/

   echo '</td>'."\n";

   echo '<td style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #ccc">'."\n";

There is no change in functionality from the original mod. When I choose an attribute array that is already showing stock the quantity field is empty on the next page.

Anybody know what I have done wrong here?

(This was supposed to be the easier of the 2 edits :blink: )

Any help appreciated :)

Thanks,
