Back In Stock Notifications

Hi,

Thank you very much for the help

I made the following changes in tpl_account_back_in_stock_notifications_default.php

// Add the product's name
$product_name = htmlentities($subscribed_notification_lists[$i]['product_name'], ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET);
$back_in_stock_notifications_item->setVariable('product_name', $product_name);

// Add the product's model
$product_model = htmlentities($subscribed_notification_lists[$i]['product_model'], ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET);
$back_in_stock_notifications_item->setVariable('product_model', $product_model);

// Add a link to the product's page
$product_info_page_link = zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' $subscribed_notification_lists[$i]['id']);
$back_in_stock_notifications_item->setVariable('product_info_page_link', $product_info_page_link);


******************

and in file inc.html.back_in_stock_notifications.html

<!-- ceon-begin-part ACCOUNT_BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATIONS_ITEM1 -->

RESULT

The page becomes blank when I enable the Add a link to the product's page portion in file tpl_account_back_in_stock_notifications_default.php and when I Comment this portion it shows the product model and name and also has a link. But when I click on the link I get this error message
/%7Bceon:product_info_page_link%7D 404

There should be a dot between 'products_id=' and $subscribed_notification_lists[$i]['id'] (I've added it above, marked in red).

Without that you get a PHP error which is why you see the blank page.

Please learn that for the future.. it should have been obvious for you to fix.. I can see that I missed it in my original reply to you but I was writing code off the top of my head and not testing it. In testing the code, it would have been immediately obvious that the dot was missing... anyone who knows PHP should have spotted my error themselves.

There are many decent books on PHP.. if you are going to do things yourself I recommend you read one! :)

That's because you commented out the code to set the link! (Again that would be obvious if you could read PHP).

That should be enough information now for you. If you find any other errors please try reading up a bit more on PHP first and post if you are still having trouble.

All the best..

Yes, just get the latest version from our website. It'll also be available from the Zen Cart downloads area shortly, haven't had time to get it uploaded to the downloads area yet.

All the best..

me again, Conor,

The mod is all working now except one minor point. Customers cannot remove products from the notification lists in their account. Uncheck the box and click update and it just refreshes the screen.

Not sure what you've done wrong there.

Please get in contact via this address with FTP and admin details for the site in question and I'll take a look.

Oh, and a link to a product which is out of stock please.

All the best..

You are probably using an older version of the software. Please upgrade to 2.6.0 as it can handle the full UTF charset.

Thanks for your prompt reply。 I have just installed the latest version of your back_in_stock 2.6, however, my chinese page still showing the strange character. Please check the attached picture file below.

(when I copied these strange character, often starts with &# then followed by 5 numeric numbers, for instance: "&#31036" to zencart backpanel\Developer tool kit Search, the system will automatically convert it (if I am under Chinese mode) to the correct Chinese words, any advice?)
