Stock by Attribute v4.0 addon for v1.3.5-1.3.9

Hi there,

Supposing we wanted to modify this so that it didnt repeat the attribute description in the menu.

At the moment the default value for the dropdown is "UK shoe size (Mens)", but it would make sense to have a shoe size eg 4 as that first value.

Any idea how to do this?

Warm Regards,

Joel

At the moment the default value for the dropdown is "UK shoe size (Mens)", but it would make sense to have a shoe size eg 4 as that first value."This", the stock by attributes mod has no involvement in building the pulldown menu. As this thread is over 700 posts just on the mod, it would be a bad idea to extend its scope into other attribute-related queries too. Besides your question warrants a thread of its own.

But before you start one, could I suggest that you consider whether this really is a good idea. My experience suggests that changing to having a particular size as a default leads to a sharp and expensive increase in the number of orders returned for sizing issues, and hacked off customers who feel that the site is poorly designed.

I'm getting script timeout issues with this module. Is this a known problem? I am a web developer and I have come across similar issues when using jQuery to loop through a large page.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?It would be useful to know what you were doing when the timeout occurred, which version of the mod you are using and your hosting configuration e.g. PHP memory limit and timeout settings. That said, this is not a problem that I have heard of previously in 3 years of supporting versions 4.0 - 4.7 (I can't speak for multi-add or AJAX).

Having a problem here using this mod.

I have 2 attributes for T-shirts: Size and Color.

For each variation of instock colors, it shows the attribute value, so if I have 3 sizes of white shirts, it shows "white" 3 times.

My menu now looks like this:

size color

S White
M White
L White
X Black
Black
Red

Any fix for this?

Hello,

New-ish ZenCart user here, and first time poster, so please be gentle with me :blink: I've read for hours through this thread and don't see an answer, so here goes...

I've successfully installed this wonderful add-on and have it working great for various clothing items with different sizes. But I'm having a slightly strange problem with an additional attribute that I've just added to one particular item.

The shirt comes in different sizes, as I mentioned, but I've added the option to have a name/number printed on the back. Everything went smoothly in creating a TEXT-type option for this purpose and applying it as an attribute to that particular product. It all looks good for the customer, who can choose the size they want, fill the text field with the name/number combination they want printed on the back... until they add it to the cart. When they do that, a message in the cart screen states that the product is out of stock (when it shouldn't be). However, if the customer then removes the offending item from their cart, selects the same sized jersey again but this time chooses not to enter a name/number in the text field, the cart is suddenly a happy camper!

Any ideas if this is something I messed up or if it's a limitation of the add-on? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated :blush:

I'm using ZC 1.3.8a, SBA 4.7Multi-add, no other add-ons. Here's a link to the product I'm describing so you can see the behavior for yourself.

Because the mod is looking at the values of the attributes and comparing them to the values for which you have stock, and you don't have a product variant that includes the specific number that the site user enters the mod treats it as out of stock. In other words it doesn't play nicely with products that have text attributes.

I have a problem: I have an helmet with the following choice:
size M and size S, colour red and colour black
I have 2 medium red and 2 medium black, no size S. Total 4 helmets.
If a customer want to buy 4 medium black or 4 medium red or 4 Small in the shopping cart there is no message that they are out of stock, but if he want to buy 5 medium black, it says 0 quantity available.
why? is it normal for this mod?

why? is it normal for this mod?Common problem, much discussed in thread already. Means that either you haven't installed all the files properly, or are using the AJAX version. More information above.

i found only the ajax version in http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=310

Seeing as Zen Cart v2 has been put on hold indefinitely, I have a questions.

1. Has anyone managed, with this mod, to be able to hide an attribute from the drop down list when stock levels equal zero?

2. As the Ajax version of this mod is incomplete, I am going to try installing the previous 4.7 version of this mod (non Ajax). If I download it from the add-on section will it contain all the latest files?

Many Thanks

Zen Cart 2.0.0 Beta Release Postponed Indefinitely

So is there a glimmer of hope that things are moving along?

solarwinds:

http://zencart2.com/I'd be very careful about anything that you read about the Zen Cart project on that site. It has absolutely nothing to do with the actual Zen Cart project and the person or persons behind it are not those who actually write and maintain Zen Cart.

So yes, there's a helluva lot more than a glimmer. Personally I'd like to see Zen Cart 2 given a 5exy code name, that'd leave the cyber squatter with egg on his face ... but that's another topic and not for this thread, so I'll leave it there.

Is this bug referring to this problem?? I am using version:
**Stock by Attributes v4.7a on 1.3.8
**

                      Hey there can someone advise me on what seems to be the problem here?  I am using 1.3.8 and have stock 

Improved attributes mod and

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tyler/public_html/shop/admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php:193) in /home/tyler/public_html/shop/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 21

Tried again removing the secondary option and even with using the same quantity for "all" sizes .

So I go to add quanity for product variant and

I get this error when i simply select quantity "1" for all :

att: 5224|5225|5226

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tyler/public_html/shop/admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php:193) in /home/tyler/public_html/shop/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 21

I am sorry If this is a repeat but it does not seem that anyone is talking about the same issue I am although I have realized that even though I have set quantities and turned off being about to check out if quantity is 0 that is happening as well creating a -1 etc.. in the catalog.

I have read about the multiadd version and to use the order.php file from that mod and it will correct the quantity problem but i have searched and cannot for the life of me find the download. What is the link to this download?

Thanks

You can safely remove line 193 from your admin/products_with_attributes_stock.php file.

What is the link to this download?It's the same as for the other versions, but you need to scroll down to find it amongst the earlier releases. Currently it's second from the top, or you could do a page search for "MULTIADD".
