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

I installed this add-in and I am able to add stock levels by attributes, but when I bring up the product in a browser it shows total stock number for item but each radio button has out of stock written beside it.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong?

Hi everyone,

I have installed the products with attributes and dynamic drop downs addons which I love but unfortunately doesn't work with some of my products.
All the dresses on the site are stock items so the addons works perfectly. The problem comes with my corsets which are made to order. The corsets have many variables and unless I state that there is one corset in stock for every variant then it shows out of stock when you get to the check put. If i do this the admin page for products with attributes stock become so slow to load that it fails to load and even if it does the page is too long.

The dresses can be seen working at:
http://www.curvesandcorsets.com/the-...-dress-company

and the corsets at:
http://www.curvesandcorsets.com/made...erbust-corsets

Can any one suggest a way a to make the corsets stock to be ignored?
Thanks in advance,
john

New version submitted, 1.5.1.2, I tried to upload it here, but the file size exceeded the allowable limit for uploads.

There have been a number of updates to this version. Most files have been updated, with some significant changes, see the file Updates.txt in the package. A new Users Guide is included that explains installation, configuration, product attribute set-up, and describers new and updated behaviors and functionality in the installation script, it contains the following topics: (Installation| Configuration | Attribute Stock Setup | Optional Update | Optional Export / Import).

This version should resolve most of the comments and questions recently posted to the forum, please read the Users Guide.

I would like to extend Thanks to member Kevin205, Kevin provided valuable suggestions, testing, and especially the work generating the Users Guide, Thank You!

Thank you **PotteryHouse **for all you've done. Great contribution.

A few questions (actually suggestions for future updates):

• What did you remove to bring the size down?
• There's a duplicate image in your instructions subfolder
• Is there a technical reason for still using jQuery 1.2.6 (from 2011)? (Note that jQuery 1.10 (or worst 1.9) is slated to be included in ZC v1.6.0)

Hello,
The size significantly increased due to the addition of the images for the users guide (whent from 132k to 1.4mb, with the images being 1.24mb of that change).
The file Updates.txt in the instructions folder lists the files I modified, moved, and replaced.
The jQuery was working, I did not think to replace it since it worked.

I can replace it in the next version (or this one but I already submitted it) I would just need to know which version is appropriate.

Well, jQuery went through some compatibility changes between jQuery versions 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, etc.
So the right version is the latest one for which the custom jQuery code used by the plugin actually still works correctly. (Or better yet, is upgraded to be compatible with modern jQuery versions ... since that will definitely be necessary in order to make the next upgrade to ZC v1.6 when it is released. Something to keep in mind as you plan for next updates you're working on.)

I've got a minor problem. I know it will be an easy fix but just can't seem to find the answer. In my dropdowns, if a product is out of stock, rather than it being bold, it is showing the <b> </b> tags instead. Anyone else come across this?

Try this, in the file:
includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\products_with_attributes.php

Remove the <b> and </b> wrapped around the text on line 12.

I have this Mod installed on my site.
When I had it installed on my old site ( 1.3.8 )
I created a new product and DID NOT add attribute values and it would set it up to unlimited.
Now that I upgraded, (1.5.1) It sets it to default to Out Of Stock

Is there a way to set it the same way I had it?
I am putting in alot of drop shippers and it would be alot easier to add them
in bulk without having to add stock levels to every product.

I also had another question.

Is there a way to make the option box longer?
I have a product that is in 2 sizes
Extra Large
Standard

The option box only displays the out of stock item (It does say out of stock though)
BUt I would like it to show all the options and they can click on one to bring to the top. Is this possible?

Hi,
I will look at this, as a note, the mod I started with does not seem to have any code that directly supports the drop-down selection lists. The file attributes.php seems to only support Radio Buttons, Checkboxes, and text boxes.

This issue you have seems to me that it should be as simple as setting the style for the lists width to what you need. I will look to see where that is controlled.

I have made another update to this mode (two actually) one I submitted and is under review (I do not know its status) and one I just made updates to last night, that needs some testing, but now should properly support combinations of attributes to a product. Since you are using a Selection list, I was wondering if you have a TEST site that maybe you could try this new TEST ONLY version with and provide some feedback. It should NOT be used on a production site until after proper testing.

The current changes needing tests support the following:
This change allows support of many attribute combinations in the admin stock page.
"Multiple Attribute types in stock_attributes Field (Multiple attribute types per product) i.e, 123,321,234"
"Multiple Attributes selected (One attribute type per product)"
"Single Attribute"
"No Attribute"

Thus far Kevin and I have focused on testing using Radio buttons.

I will look at this, I think I have an idea but in the mean time you can simply change a setting in the configuration/Stock/Check Stock Level set to false.

I looked at your site, I did not see any style sheet setting for the selection list. Try putting this code into the style sheet used for that page.
I did not need to change anything and was able to display an extremely long text string.

.wrapperAttribsOptions
{
	margin: 0.3em 0em;	
}

This is in the default style sheet but does not seem to be in your templates style sheet.
includes\templates\YourTemplate\css\stylesheet.css

The only problem I have with that is I am mixing drop shippers with products I carry, 8o(

I think I may have asked the wrong thing.
I am looking to have the Dropdown box look like this

• Sold Out - Xlarge *

• Large *
• Medium *
  *Small *

So if I click on Small it will go to the top.

Oh By the way. Yes I will test this on a test site if you would like me too.

Can I hide the attribute value if stock is Zero instead of saying it is out of stock?

A simple solution for the drop-down lists is making a small change in the attributes.php file, add size=3, where the 3 is what you want the list to show, this will affect all drop-down lists that use attributes. it can be made more robust by pre-selecting the list size and inserting that instead of the 3, but this is a quick dirty solution. This will NOT bring the selected item to the top, it is just highlighted.

Find this code near the bottom of the file in the default; block.

$options_menu[] = zen_draw_pull_down_menu('id[' . $products_options_names->fields['products_options_id'] . ']', $products_options_array, $selected_attribute, 'size=3 id="' . 'attrib-' . $products_options_names->field

```

Need your email address to send the file, probably best to send that in a private message.
I updated the test version to support the out of stock issue you asked about earlier.
