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

[skybluepunk]

Hi,

My stock levels are not being adjusted to reflect stock sold when customers place orders. Changing the status of the order does not affect the stock levels either.

My Products are all set up with Stock by Attributes.

Is this a problem with the way I've set up Stock by Attributes, or the way I've set up ZenCart, or just operator [my] error??

Thanks!

Could you kindly tell me which files I need to update if I want to move from "Stock by Attributes" v4.7 to v4.7a(MULTIADD)?
If I can skip some would be great since I need to check and merge them all, thanks :)

I am currently running last Zen cart version 1.3.8.


My stock will work after upgrade or I need to go product by product to make changes?

Thanks

When someone places an order in my store, it appears that the Product total is reduced, but not the Stock by Attribute stock levels.

For example I had a product in three different colours, with only two items in stock (one green, one blue). When the blue item was sold, the Products with Attributes Stock page showed that I had a total of 1 item in stock (which was correct), but still showed 1 in green and 1 in blue.

When I clicked Sync Quantities, the Product total changed back to 2, whereas I would have expected the blue quantity to change to zero.

This seems to be opposite to the behaviour described in this post:

Hi Ben

I think that you've stated this the wrong way around. When products with attribute stock are purchased the attribute stock is reduced (provided Configuration > Stock > Subtract Stock is set to true), but the overall product total isn't.

So if you look at Catalog > Categories / Products you should see 20, whilst Catalog > Products with attributes stock should show 15.

You can manually sync the two by clicking on the Sync Quantities link in Catalog > Products with attributes. Quite why this wasn't automated when the addon was originally written escapes me. Maybe it is because attribute stock levels have taken over from product stock levels and so product stock levels no longer mean much, and it just wasn't considered to be important.

Could you please tell me how to get the Stock Levels adjusting correctly, as we are finding it impossible to keep track!

Thanks!

As I've added and deleted variants, I run into a major problem with the UI of this mod. For some items I have 30-50 attributes, different lengths and colors of a product. Every time I add a new attribute it seems as though it gets shoved randomly in this long list.

I want all of my attributes in order, preferably by the column with the heading "variant" so that all my lengths are lined up with each color appropriately.

Can somebody tell me how to do this? Here's a visual of the problem I have:

OK....so I'm getting somewhere but now I'm stumped (again...I know...shocker)..

So I THINK I've uploaded everything I need to upload...and I can set the number of attributes and everything. Wonderful...thank you kur :)

But.....now I've tried to implement the AJAX version and I'm running into a problem...it's not working. The dropdowns on the item page are the same as always...

I uploaded the ajax files and everything so is there somewhere that I'm missing something? Maybe there's a litte snippet of code in another file that I somehow missed?

[laurenjj]

I'm still banging my head

I've been trying to figure out where I'm missing something and the only thing I can come up with is that the ajax javascript files aren't being accessed...I currently have the folder in the main directory...is this the right place? Is there a way to find it if the pages are referencing it??

the 3 *.js files must be placed in the folder ShopRoot/ajax/*.js
the same way as the other files

OK.....well I had it in the right place...so I went back and checked one more thing...and I'm an idiot because the problem that I have started with the Dynamic Dropdowns for SBA mod. The problem had been noted before (a while ago) but I didn't see any update to it...this is where the initial problem was noted http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=399 and I noticed that kuroi is the one who noticed this as well so perhaps there's been an update on how to fix this in the last year or so??

All help is greatly appreciated and sorry for being so naggy about the awesome mods that you guys contribute...:)

OMG I figured it out!! Well I'm sure someone else figured it out first but since I couldn't find it....

The problem was in the includes/database_tables.php where it says to add:
define('TABLE_PRODUCTS_STOCK', 'products_with_attributes_stock');

it's missing the DB_PREFIX in between...so it SHOULD be:


define('TABLE_PRODUCTS_STOCK', DB_PREFIX . 'products_with_attributes_stock');

Now I haven't really tested anything but at least I answered my own question...for now.... :)
