I'm trying to make a collection of products, but it always just says "sold out." I have tried various inventory settings on each of the products (I'm not actually planning to use inventory management), but nothing makes it work. There doesn't seem to be inventory management capabilities on the parcel, which does makes sense, but maybe that is causing it to always say sold out?

cheers

I am also running into this issue and am panning on using inventory management for a group of products. Has anyone successfully used inventory mangement with a parcel?

This is due to a simple typo :-)
This patch corrects it (I set this directly RTBC since it's quite trivial)

Bump.

This is a trivial fix for a bug that makes parcel.module plain useless.

Really no-one to commit ?

I found there is a setting on the product that you can select to hide the 'add to cart' button for the main (parent) item. I can't remember how I made that happen, perhaps it is actually there by default in the newest versions?

hope this helps

akynner, I'm afraid I don't understand your last comment...

sorry,

if you go to edit the parent product, there should be a choice:

"Add to Cart link"
- visible
- hidden

On my site, its just below "sku" which is just below "price". If you set this to hidden, it won't show for that product, but the subproducts button will.

does that make sense?

In fact, I can't figure how this is related to the "always sold out" issue. This just hides the bug under the carpet - and you can't buy the parcel either (or is it just me being really dumb ?)

Once again : it's not even a real "bug", it's just a typo, and the module is useless as is, so let's get this committed :-)

I think if you get rid of the "add to cart" link, the "sold out" won't show because for some reason it turns the "add to cart" into "sold out".

I suppose this is just a workaround to a bug, if a product is a parcel, it simply shouldn't show "add to cart" or "sold out"
