Fractional Stock

Installation

After downloading the add-on, its installation is performed using standard CS-Cart tools on the page Admin Panel → Add-ons→ Add-ons Management → Download and install the add-on (+).

For CS-Cart version 4.13.1 and higher, the Admin Panel → Add-ons→ Downloaded add-ons → Gear button → Manual installation.

Installing hooks

To work correctly, you need to install hooks according to the instructions. The information is collected in the add-on tab Information.

This operation for adding hooks is relevant for the current version of the v add-on .2.5.13 and later, in future versions, this operation may no longer be necessary.

To display the quantity of the product in the cart, you need to add 3 hooks to the file “fn.cart.php”:

1. Open the file fn.cart.php (the file will be located at the path: app/functions/fn.cart.php );
2. In the opened file, find the line with the code (approximately between lines 6057-6062):

if (!empty($product['qty_step']) && $product['qty_step'] > $min_qty) {
        $min_qty = $product['qty_step'];

3. After the found line, insert the code:

fn_set_hook('check_amount_in_stock_min_qty', $product, $min_qty, $product_id);

4. As a result, you should get the following:

if (!empty($product['qty_step']) && $product['qty_step'] > $min_qty) {
        $min_qty = $product['qty_step'];
    }


    **fn_set_hook('check_amount_in_stock_min_qty', $product, $min_qty, $product_id);**

    $cart_amount_changed = false;



5. Next, find the line with the code in the file (approximately between lines 6522-6524):

$amount = fn_normalize_amount(@$data['amount']);

6. After the found line, insert the code:

fn_set_hook('add_product_to_cart_post_normalize_ammount', $product_id, $amount, $data);

7. As a result, you should get the following:

$amount = fn_normalize_amount(@$data['amount']);

**fn_set_hook('add_product_to_cart_post_normalize_ammount', $product_id, $amount, $data);**

if (!isset($data['extra']['exclude_from_calculate'])) {



8. Next, find the line with the code in the file (approximately between lines 9340-9342):

$amount = fn_normalize_amount($v['amount']);

9. After the found line, insert the code:

fn_set_hook('update_cart_products_normalize_amount_post', $amount, $v);

10. As a result, you should get the following:

$amount = fn_normalize_amount($v['amount']);

**fn_set_hook('update_cart_products_normalize_amount_post', $amount, $v);**

$v['extra'] = empty($cart['products'][$k]['extra']) ? array() : $cart['products'][$k]['extra'];



11. Save the changes to the file;
12. Clear the cache:
1. In the admin panel, select Administration → Storage → Clear Cache.

To work with commerceml, you need to add a hook to the file “OrderConvertor.php ”:

1. Open the file OrderConvertor.php (the file will be located along the path: app/addons/commerceml/src/Convertors/OrderConvertor.php);
2. In the opened file, find the line with the code (approximately between lines 44-46):

$order->id->external_id = $element->getAsString('id');

3. After the found line, insert the code:

fn_set_hook('commerceml_order_convertor_convert_pre', $element, $import_storage, $order);

4. As a result, you should get the following:

$order->id->external_id = $element->getAsString('id');

        **fn_set_hook('commerceml_order_convertor_convert_pre', $element, $import_storage, $order);**

    foreach ($element->get('products/product', []) as $item) {



5. Save the changes to the file;
6. Clear the cache:
1. In the admin panel, select Administration → Storage → Clear Cache.
