Ceon Back In Stock Notifications 3.0.0

I need some help. I changed my site over to use SSL and now for some reason the back in stock notification script isn't working any more.

When i put in my details and click the notify button, the browser states its a non-secure form and the form data is going to submit the data unsecure. I click OK and the page reloads and shows the form on a page by itself. Here is a product that is out of stock if you'd like to try.

I'm sure it is something easy but i certainly cannot figure out what is wrong with it.

Thanks in advanced.

Back In Stock Notifications creates its form links etc. using the NONSSL parameter for zen_href_link().

However, this is done because the standard Zen Cart code does as well. So I'm confused as to why it is mixing up the use of SSL and NONSSL.

Please get in contact privately via this link with FTP and admin details for your site and I'll take a look and see if the next version of Back In Stock Notifications should have this behaviour modified.

All the best..

I tried to get in contact with you via your Contact Us page and the form's data was wiped for the same reason as the above (redirection/submission to non-SSL page from SSL page).

So although I still want to help fix this, it would seem that you have no choice at the minute but to disable SSL for your site and use it only for checkout.

All the best...

Conor,

I found another thread where you were referring to the http and https must be pointing to the same location. I use .htaccess to rewrite the url to https and hide the fact that it is in a sub i.e. .com/XXXXX.

I haven't had a chance yet but I'm going to modify the httpd.conf to point the site directly to /XXXXX for both the http and https sites and modify the .htaccess respectivly. I believe this will fix it up. I will report back as soon as I have a moment to make the changes.

Oh, well that explains why all form data is lost.. when you redirect from one URI to another any data being POSTed in a form is lost.

Never try to be cheap with your website and hide subdomains.. pay for an SSL certificate or don't use it at all. No other option is professional! And since SSL certificates cost as little as $10 a year, you have no excuse! :)

All the best...

SSL is in place, I'm not cheap, just lazy and tried the easy way out with the URI rewrite :P

BTW where do you get SSL for $10 a year?

Sorry.. but strange! Adding a redirect is not what I'd call the "lazy" way but the more complicated way, so I assumed you were using a shared SSL certificate.

I'm still waiting for you to get in contact privately? I'm only going to be online today, then not for a while, so if you get this please do get in contact to let me debug the SSL form issue for you (now that you'll have sorted the redirect issues).

Ah, I had never put the functions_general up before but when I did it showed the BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATION_TEXT_PRODUCT_LISTING_FORM_LINK instead the the correct define text. It does work on the product_info page. Did I do something wrong?

First let me say I love the mod,i have been using it one one site and its great tool for makeing more sales and understanding what people are waiting on.

This isi my issue
I started another zen cart,but i need to change the wording in the e-mail that gets sent out.
I just find where it is, if anybody know the path I need to take to get at the e-mail to change it I would be really thankful

Thank you

It sounds like you've missed uploading the file:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/back_in_stock_notifications.php

Upload it and the language defines won't be missing! :)
