Hi Peter,
Actually, that wasn't me, that was countrycharm, he deserves your thanks! :)Quote:

Conor, small problem. We moved a site that had this mod installed and now it's throwing this error:
Warning: require_once(/home/regimen1/public_htm/shop/admin/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/regimen1/public_html/shop/admin/back_in_stock_notifications.php on line 18
I've checked and the file is there. We've made no other changes. Version is 1.3.8a. I'm pretty sure it was working before the move but have asked client to be sure.
I can't imagine why it can't find the file. Any ideas?
Hi,
When moving the site you've forgotten to update admin/includes/configure.php with the new path to the admin directory.Quote:

ahem, yes, that would be possible! Thanks, Conor!
Oh for the lack of one l in a config file
But now I get this:

Hi,
You've accidentally put the functions file in both the functions folder and the extra_functions folder within the admin. Delete the copy in the admin/includes/extra_functions folder.Quote:

Hi,
can anyone give the code to make the change in the back in stock notification screen?
At present when the customer goes to his account area to check the back in stock subscription list it shows
Subscribed Product Date Subscribed
I want to show the
Subscribed product name (product Model) Date Subscribed
product name (product Model) - Should be a link to the items catalog page
Thank you
I am getting error 1066 Not unique table/alias: 'njm'
while trying to get the model number to print in the back in stock notification page in my account area.
I am making the changes in file includes/modules/pages/account_back_in_stock_notifications/header_php.php
Any Help?

Hi,
Simply remove the following from the code you posted and it will work:Quote:

As for having the model appended to the product's name and the name and model link to the product page, you'll need to modify
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_account_back_in_stock_notifications_default.php
change:
toPHP Code:// 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);
Finally, you'll need to update the template file to use the variables you'd just "placed" with the new code above (courtesy of Ceon's cool template system):PHP Code:// 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(PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id='
$subscribed_notification_lists[$i]['id']);
$back_in_stock_notifications_item->setVariable('product_info_page_link',
$product_info_page_link);
includes/templates/template_default/templates/inc.html.back_in_stock_notifications.html
In ACCOUNT_BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATIONS_ITEM1 and ACCOUNT_BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATIONS_ITEM2 change:
to:PHP Code:<ceon:variable name="product_name">Product Number One</ceon:variable>
That's it! (You can opt not to use the brackets around the model, just remove them from the template code).PHP Code:<a href="{ceon:product_info_page_link}"><ceon:variable name="product_name">Product Number One</ceon:variable> (<ceon:variable name="product_model">Product Model</ceon:variable>)</a>
Easy with Ceon's template system! :)
Glad you like the software!
All the best..

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).Quote:

Hi Conor,
Another happy customer here .... great mod !
Is the mod compatible with 1.3.9d?
Thanks again.
Hi,
As the software and support on this forum are both free, there's no such thing as a "customer" regarding this module, we earn nothing whatsoever from having written it or from providing support.Quote:

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.

Hi, I have just installed this great software, however, I noticed that the product name of my foreign language, chinese came out to be strange/ alien words, can I know what went wrong?
see the attachment, the product name is displayed of the back in stock notification page as very strange words...., the product name under english page is all normal and alright. Can anyone help???
Hi,
You are probably using an older version of the software. Please upgrade to 2.6.0 as it can handle the full UTF charset.Quote:

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: "礼" 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?)
Hi,
Make sure your Zen Cart CHARSET is set to UTF.Quote:

I have tried to change all my charset to utf-8, however, it doesn't solve my case. :no: All my Chinese pages are showing alright (including the back_in_stock page at admin backpanel) besides my account_back_in_stock .Quote:

This is coming 2 years late, but your module rocks! Thank you!
I just updated from 2.2.4 (as per the zen cart downloads page) to 2.60, but am having problems producing the correct link in the sentence "To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here."
The link at my product page causes the entire page to reload before scrolling down to the "Back in stock notification" box at the bottom.
The link at my product listing page is however broken because it also takes in this "sort" attribute. For example.. instead of qisahn.com/sony-playstation-3-brand-new-games-c-33_35/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-r1-p-1830#back_in_stock_notification_form it does qisahn.com/sony-playstation-3-brand-new-games-c-33_35/sort/20a/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-r1-p-1830#back_in_stock_notification_form
I can't figure what is wrong. As a temporary fix, I changed the code in functions_general
from
$params .= '&products_id=' . $product_id;
to
$params = '&products_id=' . $product_id;
I'll appreciate any help you can provide :)
Just noticed that this mod doesn't work anymore
i get this at the bottom of the product pageshave you ever bumped into this issueQuote:
Couldn't open template file: /home/www/xxx.xxx/xxx/includes/templates/template_default/templates/inc.html.back_in_stock_notifications.html
Hi,
No, it's not an issue. You've made some sort of mistake and deleted the file on your site or changed the permissions or something. Check it out and restore the file if necessary and things should work fine.Quote:

Help from anyone would be appreciated! I'm a newbie running the latest version of zencart and mysql. Everything appears to be running until I get to the admin. I get a blank page at admin>Back In Stock Notification. Looked at the debug and here is what it states:
I've been through the posts on all 42 pages so that I would not ask something that is often asked. Found some mention of the blank pages but nothing that helped me with this.PHP Code:[05-Sep-2010 07:38:35] PHP Warning: main(/zencart/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php) [<a href='function.main'>function.main</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /zencart/admin/back_in_stock_notifications.php on line 18

There is one other thing that I don't understand. This is what my button looks like and I'm not sure why it doesn't look like the button in the sample.

Greetings from South Texas Conor, you tip worked like a charm, now I have an Admin panel and can handle a more custom button (I think). Another problem surfaced; in Catalog>Back In Stock Notifications> clicking "Go" on any selection takes me back to the Admin Login. I will search this tread to see if I can find an answer.
This is an add-on that you will find RDO supporting! Well done!
I built a small "Out of Stock" button and have it up. I also have the Wish List add-on and it is up and running.
http://ranchdogmolds.com/Temp/new_buttons.gif
This should reduce the size of the Add to Cart box giving me more room for product discription. I also made a Back-In-Stock button but now need to figure out how to put it in place of the text link.
http://ranchdogmolds.com/store/inclu...k_in_stock.gif
Still having that problem with logout back to the Admin login mentioned in my previous post. I'm still looking through the past posts to see if I find it.
Conor,
I followed your advise in post #58 and now have a neat panel that has my buttons in place...
http://ranchdogmolds.com/Temp/new_buttons02.gif
Every thing has checked out on the customer side but know I must solve the big problem of the logout anytime I go to Catalog>Back In Stock Notifications>. Clicking "Go" on any selection from the drop-down menu takes me back to the Admin Login. The action is not being captured in a debug so I don't even know where to start.
Hi,
That doesn't sound right, it sounds like your server may be interrupting the form submission. I'll get in contact with you privately about this as I don't think it's directly related to the module.Quote:

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before I glanced through the thread (40+ pages) but could not see it. Is there a way for me to remove someone from a notification list without going into the database etc? We have some people who subscribe to everything, no idea why or what good it does them, and we also have one-off deals arranged for certain customers and again for unknown reasons some people subscribe to these too. When I run my 'send notifications' dozens of these needless emails are sent. There is also a product we have in the store that we dont sell, its for info purposes only but I have lost count how many people have subscribed for back in stock info on it so it would be handy to tidy these bits up if I can.
Cheers

Hi,
I'm afraid the only way to do this is through database software such as PHPMyAdmin. Sorry, but there are no plans to add the functionality you are talking about.Quote:

I just found this nice module and trying to integrate it to our test shop. Looks very promising!
After little wondering why module is showing a notification subscribe link on product listing page although I'm just subscribed, I made following little modification;
In the functions_general.php file on line 1167:
product_id = '" . (int)$_GET['products_id'] . "'
to
product_id = '" . $product_id . "'
After that modification link is showed as expected. Probably a bug or have I misunderstood something?

Hello Everybody,
I am having problems installing Back In Stock Notifications. to be more specific adding the SQL patch. I did that by inserting the mysql file, I did that by inserting the plain text and I tried with my phpMyAdmin as well. Nothing worked.
I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a, MySQL5.0.
If I do the patching with zen cart I am getting these messages:
11 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATION_ENABLED" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot create table back_in_stock_notification_subscriptions because it already exists
Warning Note: 3 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
At admin area in configuration menu I can see "Back in stock Notifications" option and it works, but there is no Catalog > Back In Stock Notifications Menu.
The module seems to be working partly. I can send Notification via e-mail but when I put my item back in stock there is no notification for back in stock..
please..... if anyone knows... please HELP...
Thank you in advance...
ok, do not reply to my post yet...Quote:

Hi,
Glad you got it sorted and an easy mistake to make. I may try to stress the fact that the admin folder's name is often changed in the next release as everyone's changing its name these days for Zen Cart's suggested security by obscurity! :)Quote:

Thanks a lot ya!
Hi,
That should be easy enough to add on to the software. It would be custom coding though, so you'll have to pay someone to add the functionality.Quote:

Hello,
I was having problem with special chars in title and the display in the bisn form at the bottom of the page. As my shop is in utf8 it shows the ?
Now i recently noticed that replacing htmlentities in tpl_product_info_display.php solves the problem like so:
Is it known that htmlentities doesn't cope well with utf8?PHP Code:$intro_text = sprintf(BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATION_TEXT_FORM_INTRO,
//htmlentities($products_name));
strip_tags($products_name));
Are there drawbacks i should consider changing the code like this?
thanks,
jeroen
Hi Jeroen,
htmlentities without any parameters doesn't support UTF8. You need to upgrade toa more recent version of Ceon Back In Stock Notifications, support for UTF8 was added in April 2009!Quote:

I have stock by attributes will the new version have support to be able to work to show the actual attributes that come back in stock too?Quote:

Ahh, thats too bad, i just downloaded and used version 2.2.4 which was the latest available in the zen-cart downloads section. Didn't realise there would be a newer version elsewhere, i'll go and find that one.Quote:

I installed the mod but whenever I try to access the Catalog=>Back In Stock it takes me to the log in page with out actually ednding my session, just taking me to the page. I haven't yet installed the css and js files in the docs foldere because I don't know where they go. Where do they go?
To be more specific, I can get to the page but whenever I try to run one of the options from the dropdown list, what I described in the above post happens.Quote:

I'll reaffirm though that the problem you are having is nothing to do with the module and therefore inappropriate to be discussed here.
Hope you can get it sorted.

Hello Cron,
I've just gone to install v2.2.4 of your module, and all the installation seems to go ok.
I then change the quantity of a product to 0, the text 'To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here.' comes up when I look at the product, but when I click on the link nothing happens.
Any help please?
Hi,
Who's Cron? :)Quote:

If you have a template override in use (you have a modified version of tpl_product_info_display.php in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates folder) then you need to merge the BISN modified template file template with your override file.
By the way, the latest version is 2.6.0.. download and install it instead of that old version.
If that's not the version in the Zen Cart downloads area then obviously I'll need to release a new version there. You can always get the latest version from the ceon website.

Hi Conor,
I had 2.2.4 on my 1.3.8 version of Zen Cart and it worked great. Since I upgraded my store to v1.3.9h and BISN v.2.6.0 it has not worked properly.
Everything looks right, but when I enter the name an email address in the form and click on the "notify me" button, it goes to the shopping cart page. When I check the admin "back in stock notifications" list, it is not there, it wasn't written into the database table.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
It sounds like you've messed up the installation and that the notification form is *inside* the product's form.. so instead of submitting to the back in stock notification handler page, it's submitting to the shopping cart ("Add to cart") page.
You'll need to install it again, taking greater care when modifying your tpl_ file(s).
All the best..

I apologize if this has been answered previously.
Zencart version: 1.3.9h
Ceon BIS version: 2.6.0
Everything works great except when I click to email the back in stock notifications, I get the following error message:
Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport.
Then I receive an email to our admin address with the Subject: Mail failure - no recipient addresses
The email says:

Hi! my problem was with email_template files because my default language is spanish (code "sp"), so there were some warnings about file locations that only could be solved by duplicating email_template_back_in_stock_* files in both email/ and email/sp/ directories. I found that the solution for full language dependence in email templates was by replacing:
admin/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notification_functions.php
byCode:$text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES . 'email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt');
includes\modules\pages\back_in_stock_notification_subscribe\header_phpCode:$langfolder = (strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) == 'en') ? '' : strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) . '/';
$text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES . $langfolder .
'email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt');
byCode:$text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES . 'email_template_back_in_stock_notification_subscribe.txt');
so you can place the whole email templates into email/your_language_code/ directoryCode:$langfolder = (strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) == 'en') ? '' : strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) . '/';
$text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES . $langfolder . 'email_template_back_in_stock_notification_subscribe.txt');
Hope that helps.
I am trying the new BISN 2.6.0 and installed/upgraded ZC 1.3.9h. The earlier version of BISN was working well on ZC 1.3.8a.
The following is the error that i am getting:
when i run mysql: i get the below message
" 11 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot create table back_in_stock_notification_subscriptions because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details."
i see the BISN on my site if i subscribe a product i als get a mail.
but when i go to catalog->BISN i get the below message:
https://www.xxxxxxxx.com/store/xxxxx...ifications.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Please help

I have seen issues with an empty e-mail address which will not be captured by the send notification action
ps: i actually just had this and solved:Quote:

off course this only applies if your product id is indeed 1416 and if there is only one customer subscribed to this product, if you have other (valid) subscribers to the product you would have to make the query more advanced so you will leave those entries in the database.
***and just for the record, i was blaming the customer (off course) but it may have been very possible that the source of the error is actually behind this keyboard:lamo:
Hi,
That should be impossible with a correctly installed version of the module. It checks the format of the e-mail address so only valid e-mail addresses can be stored.Quote:

However, the record doesn't get deleted, it results in the error described previously. No problem tough, shouldn't happen in any "normal" situation.
Thanks!

Hi Conner, I have exactly the same error. All mail functions work fine, except sending the actuall notification that the product is back in stock :( I have a complete new/fresh zencart installation.
I will try a fresh install tonight and let you know.
In reference to the above post#475
What EXACTLY was not working?Quote:
I found that the solution for full language dependence in email templates was by replacing...
I have duplicated the templates into the /es folder below the /email root and in my testing all emails are sent in the same language as that selected at the moment of use, correctly.
(The only changes I have made have been to replace the hard-coded "Dear" and "Link" with defines, otherwise it has worked correctly.)
Hopefully useful -
We briefly used "Product Notifications" before realizing "Back In Stock Notifications" existed.
After installation we wanted to add the 2,500 customers who signed up for under Product Notifications into the BISN table. Here is the SQL I used- hopefully it is of use to anyone else needing to do the same. (no warrantees, guarantees, etc).
Note that we use zen_ before table names- remove that if you don't. It is assumed that all Product Notification customers have a customer_id (login) since they aren't allowed to signup otherwise...
INSERT into `zen_back_in_stock_notification_subscriptions`
(
`product_id`,
`customer_id`,
`name`,
`email_address`,
`date_subscribed`
)
SELECT `products_id`, pn.`customers_id`, CONCAT(`customers_firstname`,' ',`customers_lastname`), `customers_email_address`, `date_added`
FROM `zen_products_notifications` pn, `zen_customers` c
where pn.customers_id = c.customers_id
If there is anything wrong with my SQL, or doing this was a Bad Thing to have done, do please let me know!
edit: Just realized you don't actually need the email for registered customers- it is null for rows with a customer_id, so you could delete that part...
Hi,
No, that's a good idea, and it looks like it (has) will work just fine.Quote:

I am running version 1.3.9h so Back In Stock Notification was installed simultaneously.
My question is...Can the subscriber be notified EACH and every time the product becomes Back In Stock?
It is imperative because I happen to have many on the Waiting List and can make available only a few plants each time.
It seems the customers who do not respond immediately are never again notified the next time I offer the plant.
Please advise if there is anything I can do or add on to make this change.
Thanks so much!
Joni
Eh? BISN is an add-on.Quote:

Hello!
I would like to install this, but it said in the plugin thread that it changes the buy now, with notify when back in stock. On my page people can still buy products that is out of stock, and they will be first in line when the items are back in stock. Is there an option that there is just the box beneath the product description that customers can be mailed when they are back in stock, and other can still buy things that is not in stock?

On the admin side on the list of Products with Subscriptions, is it possible to add a column showing the model number? This would definitely help when I'm reordering products. I am using Zen 1.5. Thanks.
Hello,
I am trying to send out back in stock notifications and it comes up with an error basically stating it cannot send to customer x.
When I list all subscriptions I can see the products and the one that customer x wants to know about but it appears they didn't enter their email address - so that field is blank.
How can I remove this entry so that the other 100 odd notifications can go out?

I regret to inform you that Conor unexpectedly passed away. Please see http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?202939
Of course, do post your message as others may be able to help you with this module.
Hello,
I am using this module(Ceon back in stock notification) but it doesn't seems to be working.
Firstly is is not showing on front end and also in admin end it is not present in configuration section.
In admin section it is under catalog section where we can send email and pending notifications.
Thanks

If you are using zen cart v1.3.9h go back and make sure you installed the module right. Sounds like you didn't install it right. It is very well documented so read the doc again.Quote:

This is the thread for the old version. If you ask in the other thread it will be the same answer check you insulation again.
Conor Kerr Ceon passed away from a brain tumor last week. He will be missed in the Zen Cart community, I am sure!
