1.5.1 Questions

What happens when I sync all quantities?
It totals all attributes quantities for products and places it in products_quantity field.
Sync Quantities does it for individual products
Sync All Quantities performs the same task for all products.

Can I change it so when people DO NOT select an option it prevents from ordering?
Yes. Look under admin>Configuration>Stock
set Allow Checkout to false.
Can I change it so when products with attributes but no stock qty, it goes to unlimited?
Please explain more

I hope this helps.

Can I change it so when people DO NOT select an option it prevents from ordering?
Or you can select an attribute as your default choice.
Can I change it so when products with attributes but no stock qty, it goes to unlimited?

Or you can try the above.

Hi, I have posted this in the dynamic filter thread already but thought I might give it a go here........I have dynamic filter installed on a v1.51 site, and i have just installed stock by attributes. Dynamic filter was working great before, but now the filter sidebox will only show attributes if they have stock assigned to them in the stock by attributes mod. As most my filters are read only and not meant to have stock levels this is a bit of a problem. Is there a work round this at all, or am i going to have to assign stock levels to all my read only attributes? Thanks in advance.

Would you point me to the plugin link for this Dynamic Filter you referenced, I would like to look at it and maybe find out what issue you are having.

Can this plugin handle 2 selectable attributes? Need the customer to be able to choose size from one attribute and color from another. Using Zen Cart v1.5.1

Yes, the version 1.5.1.2 does, but please tests on a local test setup to ensure this works as you would like.
It supports attributes for a product such as Size, Color, Material, shape, etc. The user would choose one of each available on a product. The included instructions explain how to set this up to work.

Hi Potteryhouse, The link is http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1361 Thanks for having a look for me.

I'm trying to figure this out as well. I've read the readme but the example used does not seem to cover issued asked about. The readme uses an example of a product with radio selection for sizes but two other read-only attributes. I can't figure out how to set this up for a product that comes in several colors and three sizes. When I click 'Add Quantity For Product Variant' I can add inventory for each combination of color and size, but the site shows all variations as out of stock.

Thanks.

I believe, based on your question you want a functionality that is not implemented in this mod.
I refer to it (for lack of a better term) as Multiple attribute combinations.
Unfortunately, this mode does not yet support that type of combination.
There are thoughts on how to accomplish this when time permits........

The mod supports individual attributes for a product, you can have a Size selection, a Color selection, and or a Material selection.
but not a selection like Size, Color, Material. The difference being how the background code handles the combinations. The instructions strive to show what will work.

Yes, I would call it a multiple attribute combination. Maybe it's me, but the description seems to imply it does.

'It will work for a virtually unlimited number of amount of attribute combinations. For example, if you offered cotton or polyester shirts in green, red or blue and small medium or large sizes, this add-on would allow you to enter and maintain a separate stock level for each of the 18 possible combinations.'

My client does offer items in sizes and colors with each having it's own inventory. Just to be sure we are communicating clearly, the mod will not allow me to carry stock for each size and color combination?

(thanks for the quick reply)

No, not just yet, working on that.
I think the description was / is accurate from the perspective of when it was originally created a long time ago. Since then we (store owners / builders) have wanted and demanded much more, thus I recently decided to see if it could be accomplished.
I think it can be, but there is still some logic I need to workout for it to function properly, as always it is lack of time that slows one down.

Thanks for the clarification. I certainly understand the lack of time problem. Keep plugging away, it's a great plugin.

I sell clothing, and have two attributes, color and size

color: red , blue, yellow
size: Small, Mid , Large
The red small shirt has stock of 56.
The red large shirt has zero stock.
How to acheive it with this add-on?

I just spent one week in finding how to get this done

any words is greatly appreciated!

Forgive me if this has been addressed before but I've not been able to find a solution. I'm using zencart 1.5.1 and Stock by Attribute 1.5.1.2.

The problem is with admin access management. Super users can use the module with no problem and it works great, other users, with the module allowed in their admin profile can access it but when the try to save get a restricted access message.

Looking at the admin logs it appears that page which "normal" users have the problem accessing is products_with_attribute_stock_ajax.php but I've no idea how to correct this.

Any help would be very welcome.

As a test, try setting the attribute stock page like the following (ignore the customid field, that will be in the next version)
Please let me know how this goes.

Hi,
No one I remember has mentioned this yet, I had not personally used restricted access yet but will look at that.

I did some testing, this issue does not seem to be limited to the SBA module, I tried it on another unrelated add on module and got the same error.

There must be a setting that should be configured when adding a module to the configuration file or else-ware that has be updated.
When I have time I will look at this, if you happen to find an answer please let us know, and if it is something I can roll into the next version I will.

Thanks

Hi,

I have just installed this addon and believe I'm almost to the point of getting it fully working. I have a problem where regardless which attributes I have set to a zero quantity, all options on the product page, whether dropdowns or radio buttons, are showing 'out of stock' when I set CONFIGURATION -> STOCK "Check Stock Level = True". Now, this may never have worked, or it is being affected by the new files. May just be something in the code around an array or something. I'm not confident on my own to take a stab at this, but a bit of direction would certainly help.

Any initial guesses?

Regards,
Chris

This is what the error looks like. Not only does it show a product that has quantity, but also has some formatting issues in the drop downs.

Again, any thoughts greatly appreciated. Note, I have done another clean install on another test site with the exact same issues.
