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

[aly22]

Am wondering if some of the actual attribute settings might come into play -- in the regular, ZC attribute parameters rather than relying solely on SBA? I had set up an item that had 2 sets of attribute configurations:
Shirt A (with dropdown color choices)
or Shirt B (with dropdown color choices).

I set up quantities correctly for each, but Shirt A came up "out of stock" every time. So I gave up and finally just did one single dropdown like this:
Shirt A, color
Shirt A, color2
Shirt B, color
Shirt B, color 2

-- and assigned the same quantities as I had before and it's all working just fine now.
But I wonder whether in your case, simwombat, the multiple attribute issue could be controlled some way via the Define the Attribute Settings? Like maybe changing the Attribute Required for Text or something? Just a guess ... until I get a test store back up to experiment and troubleshoot.

That is a good idea but makes my drop down 36 items long and then I still have to worry about the text block where they add what they want printed on the item.

I am sure someone has run into this before and solved it.

I did give it a shot but it was very awkward to use even when I broke it down by size.. - still had the text issue as well.

Thanks for the suggestion..

I have to admit, I haven't read all 139 pages of this thread, but can anyone tell me why all the support info seems to refer to SBA v4.x and the only download I can find is:

Version: 1.4.13
Last Updated: Apr 06 2011
Author: That Software Guy

Is there a more recent download available or has the numbering changed?

[GKanes]

OK, I've figured out that 1.4.x supersedes 4.x, but I still have my original question regarding the installation instructions, which state:

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

I found that this program installed very easily.
I ran the SQL file as it said then used FTP to upload the other files overwriting existing files. Worked great for me. My only problem was getting the stock to count off 1 attribute instead of all attributes.

Good luck with that..

simwombat: are you sure you used the order.php file that came with the download? I think it handles the stock quantity update and it appears to be working fine for me. If I place an order it subtracts the quantity for that attribute combination only, all other quantities stay correct for me...

\includes\classes\order.php

[simwombat]

Yes I did use the package as downloaded. I used FTP to drop all files in place and overwrite the existing.

I think you may misunderstand my question. It does subtract for the attribute combination but I do not want to use a combination.

I just want it to subtract by only one of the 6 attributes. I want it to subtract when a size of an item is chosen. I have 6 combinations of each size which I do not want.

I am selling shirts and hoodies and just want to select the size attribute as that is the way they are ordered.

I get 10 small and 10 large and then while the person orders a small they then add if they want it personalized, and where they want it personalized, and what name they want to personalize it with.

Then I perform that work that they asked for. and it is still a small shirt that is sold. I do not order them with names already on them as I have no idea who is going to order. So that combination is impossible for me to put into inventory like SBA does.

I hope that is clearer..

you can see what I mean at this site just go to a hoodie or t-shirt and you will see the attributes that do not get completed till order is made.

Thank you for your help and I hope I did not misinterpret your reply as to its meaning.

ZC 1.3.9h (recently upgraded)
Stock by Attributes 1.4.13

Some (not all) customers are seeing the "out of stock" indicator at checkout (three asterisks) when there is actually plenty of stock.

There is no "out of stock" indicator that appears on the product page.
The cart will not allow the user to checkout

The relevant lines from admin > configuration > stock are:
Check stock level true
Subtract stock true Info
Allow Checkout false Info
Mark product out of stock *** Info
Stock Re-order level 5 Info
Show available stock level in cart when less than order false Info
Display Images in Admin false Info
Products status in Catalog when out of stock should be set to 0 Info
Show Sold Out Image in place of Add to Cart 1

Where should I be looking?

Thanks,

John

I have a problem that should be simple to fix, but I don't see a way to do this. Nothing that I have tried has worked. I am using Stock by Attributes version 1.4.10. I have a product that has two color variations. I am going to stock only one color.

I want to remove the drop-down color choice from the product page, but do not see a way to do it. I tried using Delete Variant for both color attributes, but that doesn't work. The Save button does not work on the admin page.

How do I remove a product from the Stock by Attributes contribution?

[Tech-E]

I found the bug fix for the Save button issue and that works.

I still need to figure out how to delete a product from this mod.

If I try to use Delete Variants, the product page shows Out of Stock.

How do I delete the entire product entry in Stock by Attributes?
