any tips on styling?

Hi,

any tips on styling?

I'm guessing you're talking about the form textfields?

You can set them to the same size by giving each of the textfields a class or an ID and setting up the appropriate CSS. E.g:

<input type="text" size="25" maxlength="64" name="name" value="{name}" class="MyClassToSetLengthOfTextfield" />

<input type="text" size="35" maxlength="96" name="email" value="{email}" class="MyClassToSetLengthOfTextfield" />

(adding .MyClassToSetLengthOfTextfield { length: 10em } or some similar CSS to your stylesheet).

Or you can make the length of each field the same by changing the "size" attributes as desired.

If you're asking about the form labels, they all share the same class - inputLabel - so they should be the same length if the CSS for it is set to a particular length.

Because all of the template code is standard HTML with Ceon's template tags embedded, it's easy to update this. If you are having trouble please consult a designer, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes for someone with good HTML/CSS skills to sort this out! :)

Glad you like the module!

All the best...

Hi Conor,

I was thinking about adding this to the product listing pages. Would there need to be a complete re-write or are there just a few lines here and there to alter to make it work? The reason why I would like to add it to the product listing page is that many people don't go further than that page when looking at products, and it would be very helpful to put the BISN on this page, too.

Thanks!

That's an interesting idea.. how do you imagine the BISN link should be displayed? As a text link to the Back In Stock Notification subscription page?

Hi Conor,

I imagine the link being just like on the product info page, a text link under the out of stock image. And I think that it would be easiest if it was an anchor link like the product info page, so the form is at the bottom of the page, or even hidden in a div tag that would expand when the link was clicked and you're dropped down to the bottom of the page to fill in the form.

Thanks!

I'm very pleased to tell you that this has been added to version 2.4.0 of the module.

This should significantly increase the number of subscriptions and therefore sales on the site! (You're welcome! ;) ).

All the best...

Hi,

I'm very pleased to release a new version of the module!

A great new feature is that it now adds links to the Back In Stock Notification subscription form for a product on every product listing page (categories listing, featured products listing etc.).

This should significantly increase the number of subscriptions/sign ups and therefore sales when the product is back in stock!

Instructions on how to modify the look of this link are included in the configuration documentation.

Another change is that the template file can now be overridden by placing it in the templates folder for the template being used by the site.

From the Revision History:

[ADDED] Back In Stock Notification subscription form links are now displayed for sold out products on Product Listing pages (category listings, featured product listings etc). This should encourage a lot more customers to sign up to notification lists as it doesn't require them to click through to the product's page to see the subscription information!
[UPDATED] The template file can now be overridden by creating a copy and placing this copy in the templates folder for the template the store is using.
[BUGFIX] Only ISO-8859-1 characters were being correctly encoded for display. Module updated to use the current character set (UTF-8 etc.) when generating HTML entities.
[ADDED] Documentation added to the configuration about copying the template file to the store's template directory so that it can be modified.


Download the new version now!


(The new version of the module should also be available in the downloads area soon, just have to get a few seconds to repackage it).

Don't forget to read the upgrading documentation, it's easy enough to do but you must follow the upgrading documentation as this version requires a change to a core file (previous versions did not). Any questions about the link not appearing in product listing pages will be ignored.

Enjoy your increased sales!

All the best...

Hi Conor,

How are you? I hope that all is well! I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, I have been incredibly busy.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! This is exactly what I was looking for and I am 100% confident that this is going to boost sales since everyone that signs up for the BIN wants to purchase the item.

I have sent you a thank you donation through Paypal and I would encourage all that can say thanks to do the same.
