Product Attribute Grid

I have installed the updated module and it is now working for me.

Thanks.

How difficult would it be to get this mod working with other attributes? I need at least one attribute (either dropdown or radio) in addition to the grid.

I'm willing to pay for this capability, if it's possible.

Thanks,

I installed the mod to work to update a style with multiple quantities depending on the color selected. I only have 2 option names - "Color" and "Buy". I's rather not even give "Buy" an option value, but I think it has to have one so I gave it the value "Qty"
As you can see the table adds another cell so that the last color does not have a heading because "Qty" is taking up a cell.

Am I approching this the wrong way or is there a way to have the table without the value word?

@Zach - This module could certainly be altered to allow for more fields, however, you would need to aid a few additional features, like the ability to turn this off on a per attribute basis, as you would need to be able to select which attributes are shown within the grid.

@dreamz - I need to try and re-create your problem today, and I'll release a fix for this in the next release. For the moment, could you swop the sort orders for the attributes and see if that displays properly?

I changed sort order and made "Buy" first. You can see the results. It looks better but still a bit out of sorts. I'd love to be able to just have the add qty cells for just the color attributes without my added option "Buy - Qty." Does that make sense?

@dreamz - could you just confirm for me that you have read the README file, and followed the instructions?

From the README:

• If you wish to use this module with single attributes, where all options are listed with a Quantity box next to them, set up an attribute called Quantity, which is a Radio type option. Next setup one option value, which has no text defined, so it is just a completely blank value. When you add this to the product, along with another Radio or Dropdown field, it will default to the GRID format. To ensure that the Quanity is always at the top of the grid, set the sort order for this option to -9999.

Please forgive me if you have done this. The field you called BUY, should be called Quantity, as above. The attribute you have as Qty should be BLANK. This should then remove the top rows.

Please update your attributes accordingly, and I'll take a look.

Ah, I didn't see that. Thanks, it worked like a charm!

I noticed Zach replied to you with the module in question for the stock by attributes. Were you able to work out the code to exclude the qty box for the unavailable attribute combinations? Here is the link again if you need it
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=310

Also as in my previous post about the min require showing next to the add to cart; were you able to get that to show on the products with the attribute grid? Because I still can't.

Just wanted to know if you had the time to look at the code so to exclude the qty box for the unavailable attribute combinations?

Also my other question regarding the stylesheet for the module - as it looks like the grid has reference to class attrib-grid-cell, attrib-grid-vHeader and attrib-grid-hHeader. Is it possible you could add that to your upload?

Plus I still having trouble with the min quantities not showing with the add to cart section for products that have attributes. I have ended up having to put this information with the product description but it would be nice to have the normal zencart functions to still show with the product grid.

Thanks again for a great module!

Just because Absolute has provided class tags does not mean he has a stylesheet for them. Everyone's would be different anyway - style those classes in your stylesheet however you wish.

Some how I can't get this module to work. I feel like an idiot!

I've added the files in the areas required. (double and triple checked, restarted as well).

But everything is still displaying all the way down. not in a grid :(

Absolute:

These two packages can be installed together, and a little piece of code then used to hide or show the attribute boxes, depending on stock levels.

Absolute

Is the other package you were referring to "Stocks by Attribute"? What is the little piece of code?

Also, is there a way to show the available quantity of each attribute? I was able to do that with attribute by stock, but when I added this module, the available quantity isn't showing.

Thanks!

Absolute:

The module is designed to set out attributes within a grid format, when 2 dropdown or radio options are available. For example, if an item has both colour and size. The grid is populated with quantity fields, so that a number of products can be added at any time.

This can be seen on our test store, located at http://www.absolute-solutions.co.uk/test/zen/138/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=36

Please feel free to contact me with suggestions or updates for the next release,

Absolute

your test store is broken or is friday (long week for me)

@marcelo63 - the new release will have the stock display as an option. Due to other commitments, I have been unable to package the new version, however, this will be out this week.

@tracib - our test store is exactly that. The test store is used on a daily basis by our developers to build new modules, and as such, we never guarantee the store to be online. The errors you currently see are standard PHP errors which are only displayed when PHP is set to show all error reporting. This error reporting is used to ensure our modules are 100% PHP compliant.

The error reporting will be turned off for the weekend, as no development is scheduled until Monday morning.

Absolute

I see on your demo store you have little x icons in the grid to show items combos that are not available will this new code be in your new release? Or is it just a simple code change that you will have available on the forum at some point?

The demo store is being used to final test the new module. The out of stock icons and stock count is part of this new module and shown on the demo site. With this store, the count is temporarily turned off.

Absolute

First Thanks for this module it is long needed.

I installed it on my test site and setup a test product-

http://diamondbladedealer.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=4

The grid output is not formated properly for me, has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help

I've got this running on my store, version 1.3.7 and its going to work very well for my needs. Thanks for the great mod!

One wish is that it would pre-fill the quantities with a 0 and enter a quantity of 1 in the default attribute. Or is this something it does and I haven't figured out yet? :)

I'm using pricing by attribute. I have similar versions of a product that are selectable via attributes. I have a demo product with the grid here:

http://www.crimescene.com/store2008/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=293

For my purpose, I wonder if it would be possible to add a column to the table which would present a buy button for that product?

An example of this, for the same product refernced above is here:

Hi,

I'm having problems with this contribution running alongside the Stock by Attributes contribution.

I have set the grid up to work with a single attributes like in the instructions. It adds the correct product and quantity to the shopping cart. When the shopping cart is shown, no matter how much stock is set for the attribute, the item is always listed as out of stock :(

If I change the attributes from the grid layout to a normal checkbox layout the shopping cart's stock levels are correctly detected :huh:

Everything is working now thanks :smile:

Everything is working now thanks :smile:

Actually it isn't :cry:

When using Product Attribute Grid with Stock by Attributes the shopping cart is telling me the item is out of stock when it isn't out of stock.

If I switch the attributes from a grid layout to a checkbox layout the shopping cart correctly checks the stock level.

Looking at the source of the grid layout shopping cart and the checkbox layout shopping cart, the major difference is the productID, the value is right before the colon (:) but not after it.
