I have a product with two characteristics fields (C1 and C2) and each characteristic has two values (C1-1, C1-2, C2-1, C2-2). If I have 3 untits of this product and I only have the stock in the main product, I understand that the client only can buy 3 units of some characteristics combination and not 3 units os each characteristics combination, and this is what is happening in my site. May hikashop work like I think it must work or I'm mistaken? OPTIONS are working worse than characteristics. You can buy an unlimited number of products in the same purchase though you only have 3 units. I can't put online my site due to this errors. I'm using last version 2.3.0 Please, help. Thanks.

Set a quantity through the "quantity" option of each variants of your product so that the stock will be managed independently of their main product. 2. Only set a quantity through the main product so that the stock can only be managed through the main product configuration page.

I've a product with 3 stock units and I want to control only these 3 units. This product has 2 characteristics with 2 variants on each characteristic and with an unlimited stock on all 4 variants (it may be result on only the stock control on the main product). Then I can buy 3 units of each combination of characteristics resulting on 12 units that I can buy, and I only have 3 on stock. Maybe if you buy less (or equal) than 3 units on different purchases it may work, but if you do what I've said in the same purchase it doesn't work. You can add to cart 3 units of one variant, and then without going to checkout choose other variant and then add 3 units and so on with all variants, and then you can go to checkout and buy 12 units of a product that has only 3 on stock. Please help. Thanks. Last edit: 12 years 7 months ago by [lanzanet](/forum/user/7823-lanzanet "View lanzanet's Profile").

Such debugging is quite complex to do and we're having a hard time just keeping up with "easy" support so I hadn't the time to look at the issue until now. Please add the code: Code: $quantity_for_same_main_product =& $this->_getGlobalQuantityOfVariants($cartContent,$product,$cart_product_id_for_product); if($quantity_for_same_main_product>$product->product_quantity){ $in_excess = $quantity_for_same_main_product-$product->product_quantity; if($quantity>$in_excess){ $quantity=$product->wanted_quantity=$quantity-$in_excess; $quantity_for_same_main_product=$quantity_for_same_main_product - $in_excess; }else{ $quantity_for_same_main_product=$quantity_for_same_main_product - $quantity; $quantity=$product->wanted_quantity=0; } } after the line: Code: $product->product_quantity = $parentProduct->product_quantity; in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/cart.php and that should fix the problem (it did on my tests). Please let us know how it goes so that we can publish a hot fix build of the new version or continue to work on the issue.
