PAPS 0.81 and Product Attribute Quantities

[Guest]

Hi guys

This is my first post. I've been working with osCommerce 2x for a couple of months now....using the many thousands of tips and contributions built by this community. I think i now have enough knowledge of this wonderfully versatile software, that id ilke to join the community and give a little back. However before I have time to do this i need to push forward my site and go live.......

 

For my site to function correctly, ive installed PAPs (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5456) to display product pictures.

 

I may get a warehouse clearance of say 10 necklaces that are ALL different so i installed Quantity for Product Attributes Mod (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3302).

 

My PROBLEM is that i cannot get paps to check the quantity and only display pictures of the stock that is left of that product

 

I can see it is quite an easy line or two of code for those in the know, but i am not a programmer so i relunctantly have to ask for help.

 

I hope my question can help others also

 

please help. Ive asked for help at OSS (developer of PAPs) but ill have to pay for that but what i am figuring, this open source community has helped me right up until now so hopefully i can overcome this obstacle and go live ASAP.....

 

Looking forward to being apart of such a wonderful ongoing project :)

Cheers Bryan

I am a PHP programmer and have modified OsCommerce heavily and have several clients running online stores with them.

 

I also have "Multi Attribute (combination) entry boxes in product info page" at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5708 that has been modified to accommodate a dynamic amount of product options/attributes and works great.

 

Recently I have run into a situation where I need to be able to track each products size and color quantity combinations which just looking at the "Quantity for Product Attributes Mod" at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3302 contribution I don't think it will do that for me and I am in need of professional opinion and some guidance as to whether this will be easily accomplished with some modification and perhaps a generous push to stay with OsCommerce (I don't want to leave).

 

It doesn't seem like this will work for me, but again I need some assistance and guidance on this one. For example I have an item # 4212 that comes in Red, Green, Blue, Black and sizes S, M, L, XL.

 

That is 16 items. I need to be able to track like this:

 

4212 Red S = 10

4212 Red M = 4

4212 Red L = 6

4212 Blue XL = 9

4212 Black M = 8

 

I need to have this done within one week. Grouping the Color and Size combinations into combined options/attributes like "RED-S" is not a viable option nor is creating separate item numbers for each unique item. I will also be updating the quantities from another external database but that is easy once I get the above working.

 

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
