Hi
I'm developing a Mens Fashion online store using Virtuemart for a client.
All of the t-shirts he sells come with multiple options and all have different stock levels. For example.
Product Name: Mens T-Shirt
Colours: Red, Blue, White, Black.
Sizes: Small, Medium, Large, 1XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL
The issue is the colours are not available in all sizes....
RED: Small
BLUE: Small, Medium,
WHITE: Large
BLACK: Small, Large, 1XL
I've tried the CustomFieldsForAll PLUGIN but it doesn't appear to meet my requirements.
What is the best way to set this up?
I think the only way you have atm is to use child products and the "generic child variants" plugin
Create a custom field, set the custom field type to 'plug-ins', and the plug-in type to 'Stockable Variant'. Fill in all your possible options in the boxes and make it a cart variant. Now when you apply this custom field to the parent product and create a child you can select the relevant colour & size and set the stock level.
Here's an example of it working on my site:

Or vm3 and the new "child variants". You should also add the attributes which do not affect the stocking to the parent, so all your children have them.

Thanks for your reply.
I dont see 'Stockable Variant' under the drop down?
Im running 2.6.10 and the plugin isnt there?
Do you have the 'stockable' plug-in enabled?

Done a search for Stockable in the plugins list and it doesn't appear?
As far as I'm aware it should always get installed as part of the core of VM or the AIO! Can a mod/ VM developer confirm this?

Can anyone tell me if I can reinstall this plugin/module?
never seen it not install
look by ftp in plugins/vmcustom/stockable - that is it
if not you need to extract the AIO - upload the the folder stockable where it should be - discover it in Joomla extensions

I have that folder on FTP: plugins/vmcustom/stockable
These are all I have on my installation...

Same here as above Where do I get the stockable Variant plugin please..
It is included in VM 2.6.x and VM3
In 2.6.x select plugins as Custom Field Type and in the Select a plug-in box enter sto to search for and enable the stockable option.
In VM3 currently the Select a plug-in list is prepopulated, as in image.

So referring to the screenshot I posted earlier. The correct plugin is: VM Custom Field with Stock Control?
I don't seem to have the Stockable option in VM3 at all. I've even manually unpacked the AIO tar.gz and I can't find it in there either. I use it extensively in my live site (currently using VM 2.6.12.2) so I need to sort this issue out before I can upgrade!
I showed you the name of it in for me a standard install of VM2.6.x above
you have something completely different - you need to find out why....

@matt_ginn
there are plenty of posts on here explaining that the stockable variants plugin is no longer used in VM3
this thread is about stk variants on VM2!!!!

Sorry - then I don't know.....
