Back In Stock Notifications

[micmed]

Hello Conor, This looks like it would be a useful mod for us. Is there a way to have the "Buy it Now" button and the “be notified when this product is back in stock...” buttons both available? We have regularly stocked items and items that are built to order. We would like to give the option of being notified or still be able to place an order for the item.

Hi,

So people can order items that are out of stock or else simply sign up to find out when they are back in stock?

That would be possible but would require custom coding to have Zen Cart not display the sold out sign on your site yet still bring up the BISN subscription form.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

I have the same message displayed for custom items and out of stock items such as http://www.thecablestation.com/index...oducts_id=3403. So, I would like to have the BISN subscription form button appear near that message.

I would also like to figure out a way to have different messages for items that are BTO and simply out of stock. Any ideas?

Thanks
Ted

That would definitely require custom coding. You'd probably have to add a flag to the product admin pages to mark particular products as BTO.

You could then modify the BISN module to display the form even if a product is in stock if it is BTO.

only 1 thing i want to change. by default it uses the owner's email address to send the email. can i specify a different email address to send the notification from?

You'll have to modify the file

includes\modules\pages\back_in_stock_notification_subscribe\header_php.php

changing the EMAIL_FROM to something else in the e-mail commands.

Hi everybody,

Great mod.

I'm looking for a combination of Back in stock with Product Notification:

I want to email clients when I change the PRICE of the item they have subscribed.

For example, when selling computers, the price changes very often, and I've added a "subscribe to be notified when price have changed".
But this is based on product notification, and there isn't an option to send email automatically.

Back in stock have all functionality, but will need to check the price not the stock.

Thx.

Great mod...

Forgive me, trying to change the "From" email to a different address and I found your below statement, but I'm just not sure what you are saying...

Exactly what and where do I need to change?


Thanks so much!
