Any guidance in this regard will be much appreciated, that what files I have to update ...

Glad you like the software.

No-one has asked for a captcha for it as yet. It does require the user to fill in a "confirm e-mail" field, which uses an unusual name, specifically chosen to minimise the likelihood of misuse.

If someone here replies with instructions for you, great, otherwise, don't worry about it for now I'd say. As I said, we've had exactly zero reports of problems with automated submissions and that's with several thousand sites using the software.

All the best..

Hi,

I should actually point out that you are advised NOT to use a captcha.

Contact us forms etc. are things the user will fill in willingly enough.. Back In Stock Notification forms aren't just a useful convenience for the customer, but a great marketing tool for your site.

A captcha is often a step too far for the customer to be bothered.. they'd have to really want the product to bother with a captcha.. entering their e-mail twice is more than enough bother for most people (people are lazy).

So my advice is don't shoot yourself in the foot applying a captcha for the sake of it. It wouldn't take long to add a captcha but you'd have to come up with a very good reason, and I can't see one, give what I've said above.

All the best..

Thanks Ceon for your detailed response.

Hi,

We have just released a new version of Ceon Back In Stock Notifications. The changes are minor, most people have no need to upgrade, but upgrading takes just 1 minute so we always advise doing so.


From the Revision History:

[ADDED] Sample modified files for Zen Cart 1.5.0beta added.

[UPDATED] Link to products page no longer uses SSL, as admin page links don't use SSL.

[BUGFIX] SQL queries were being run in lowercase in the Admin utility, which resulted in errors if a store uses a table prefix with capital letters in it.


3.0.2 can be downloaded from the Ceon website now.


It has been submitted to the downloads area and should be available there soon.

All the best..

Thank you so much for this mod. It's exactly what I needed. Quick question though. On the product info page I would like this text to be split into two lines "To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here." How would I go about doing that? I looked in Firebug but I can't seem to find where I would change the code.

You can see here http://frompropertorocker.com/index....roducts_id=861 how the text is so long that it throws my cart area alignment off.

Thanks!!

I figured it out. I went to includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/back_in_stock_notifications.php

and added <br> in line 30 to get it the way I wanted.

That's one way to do it! :)

The other would have been with some CSS, but what you've done is fine!

Glad you like the software, thanks for saying so.. I hope it brings you extra sales! :)

All the best...

I downloaded this exciting looking mod and have read through the info.

But I thought I'd better ask before I start merging files - I use Stock by Attributes v1.4.9ajax and Product Attributes Grid v1.1.1 for some of my products in one category

Do you think this mod would play nice with those products. The 'buy now' boxes are in a fairly tight grid and I'm thinking the 'notifiy me' box wouldn't fit (?)

Hello,

Im running ZC v1.5.0RC1

I have installed Back In Stock Notifications Version 3.0.2

Its all good on the shop side, except on the account BIS Notification where it says "Below is a list of the Back In Stock Notification Lists to which you are subscribed.

To unsubscribe from a list simply uncheck (clear) the box beside the appropriate product and click"

When you click on the product name (In my case its "test product") it opens another window to a completely different product :unsure:

Also, it has not appeared in my admin,

Its not showing in: Configuration > Back In Stock Notifications

Its not showing in: Catalog > Back In Stock Notifications

Have I missed something? Cause I just cant find it anywhere on the admin side. :shocking:

Help appreciated thank you :smile:

It shows if you type in admin/back_in_stock_notifications.php but still it does not show in the admin for easy access.

Anyone know a fix???
