attribute quantity box

Does anyone have a solution for a quantity box to show beside the attribute. Any help will be appreciated. I have faced the same issue on 5 different projects now... and I dont know what to do. I have tried stock attributes mod, but nothing seems to be working.... Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. This is a very critical feature which as I read from another post, will be included in the next release.....

In the mean time is there anything out there to achieve this. I am willing to pay for the mod and am sure 100 other peeps out there are too.

It would be nice if the mod can also work with attribute QTY discounts

Someone Hellllppp!!!!

Re: attribute quantity box

Have the same problem. Customers are frustrated that they cannot see the qty available in stock for a certain size/color until they actually put it in the shopping cart. Anybody cares to help???:huh:

Re: attribute quantity box

Someone please help! Any mod even one that I can buy! I would appreciate it very much! If oscommerce can have it, am sure some Zencart guru can put one together in a few! Really need help with this. I have tried all kinds of mods but nothing is working like I want it to.

Someone come to the rescue :flex::flex::flex::flex:

Re: attribute quantity box

Hey Ajeh? How soon is the future? This will be the best feature especially if it can work with the mixed attribute discounts. I am stuck on this one. I wonder when the next version of zencart is coming out. :no::no::no:

This is actually the one that I need - something to show how many of that size/color are in stock. A quantity box to let ppl choose the # of that attribute would be very useful too.

Re: attribute quantity box

I'm looking for this as well. If you check this site and scroll to the bottom....they have an in stock mod of some sort and they are powered by Zen Cart as it states at the very bottom of the page. Any info on how we can get our stock displayed would be wonderful. Thank you.

Re: attribute quantity box

Yes, we have that mode already (stock by attribute mode) It's very handy, but the problem is that it allows you to see the qty in stock only after you add item to the cart.

Re: attribute quantity box

Yes, I currently have the stock by attributes mod and like what I'm able to do with it so far....however if you look (click) here and scroll down.....there is a section labeled Currently In Stock... and it shows all the sizes and colors that they have in stock. The site is powered by Zen Cart, and you don't need to have anything in your cart to see it.

Re: attribute quantity box

Hello all.

The site in question is my wife's site. I did the custom coding necessary to display the stock on hand.

There is no module available that I am aware of that replicates this functionality.

For those of you technically minded, it is really just a matter of filling two multi-dimensional arrays and looping through them to write out the html required for the table.

The first array is filled with the attribute type names and becomes the column heading contents.

The second array is filled with the attribute value names and includes the quantity as a final element within each array row.

The most difficult part of this was calculating the correct nested loops to ensure that we would always have only 3 "columns" of information and it would be limited to a maximum of 30 items per "column".

The display itself is rendered as an html table and is styled using css.

Hope this helps get you started.

Jim

Oh goodess, I have no idea what you just said. I think I am going to just have to wait till they come out with a module like that.

Oh I see... I don't think it's a module though, I think they just manually entered that stock list there and whenever somebody buys something they have to manually change the qty in that list. I do that too on some of our products

Re: attribute quantity box

No, nothing is manually entered. It is completely dynamic based on stock on hand. We have too many products to stay on top of stock levels like that.
