…well, pretty much - I may make a few minor changes before release - ie the colour scheme.

On that note I’d be interested to hear what people think about the colour scheme I’m using at the moment

As you can see green and red are used for alternate groups of items - in this case products, then various shades of green and red are used for sub items.

(Like I said, I’d be interested to hear peoples’ opinions - ccmod [at] dynamictangentconceptions.dtcnet.co.uk or reply to this post)

Finally here’s a preview of the “finished” combo admin panel

So… on the things left to do list:

• Modify product options page so that new stock counts are displayed
• Create notification system to notify customers whether and item or a particular combination of options for an item are in stock …before it is placed into the basket!
  • With an option to display current stock level for selection or a simple “out of stock” notice if applicable

On a different note, it’s taking up quite a lot of time to get it to the level of “user friendliness” I want and would expect for such a mod, so I was wondering whether people would be willing to pay for this mod or not, and if so how much. I know there is a similar mod out there going for around ¬£12 a piece, which at first I thought was expensive, but I guess is pretty reasonable for a business to pay and especially if it’s good and they use it on a regular basis. …So any thoughts on the matter? (same contact details as above)

Just a quick update, I’m sorry to say that I’ve not been able to put much time into the mod since returning to uni - I’ve got a few exams coming up so everything else has been put on hold. The good news is I’m going to start work on the mod again next week, and hopefully get it finished within a few weeks after that

The product options stock level mod for CubeCart I’m working on is in good working order. You can make a product option “combo” (ie combination) of one or more product options and give it a stock level. Then the shopping basket checks to see if there is a combo for your option selection and if it finds a match, uses the combo stock level over the product’s stock level. I still have to do some in depth testing of this but it’s looking good.

For the moment I’m now working on the GUI - completely redesigning the product options admin page, breaking it up into smaller chunks that are easier to understand and manage. I have finished the Options and Values page and the Product Options page - all that is left is the Combos page.

Then I need to change the product pages to include the combo stock level somehow, and then finally I want to update the product information page in the main shop so that the customer can only place items into their basket which are in stock.

I said finally, but there’s actually more to do I need to finalise the database update script and make some modification instructions for people who already have mods installed. The devs such enable plugins like Wordpress - it’s so much simpler.

Well thats my first update. When I do some more - I’ll post it here.
