Ceon Back In Stock Notifications 3.0.0

[conor]

Hi,

it look me ages to finally find out where the words/text of the notify email ("Please check it out before it goes out of stock again!", etc.) are defined- and they weren't anywhere I expected them to be, given the location of the subscribe and unsubscribe email text defines! I definitely didn't expect to find them in admin...

Yes, sorry, this isn't so obvious I'd guess, but it is the standard for Zen Cart to keep the e-mail templates in the store's side, even for admin e-mails.

I've never read the Zen Cart manual before but I'm guessing that it must not mention that then.

I wonder if this could be added to the documentation under configuration? Or maybe it is obvious to everyone else...

No, thinking about it, I don't think it would be that obvious, it's certainly not intuitive. If I ever create a new version of the software, I'll add this info to the docs.

Also, it seems like perhaps $EMAIL_DISCLAIMER (already defined) at the end of the email should be standard at the end of the distribution email template for html and txt? It isn't there now on the standard distribution template, and I only knew to add it because I was looking at the code...

All of the standard Zen Cart e-mail variables are available for use.

I didn't include the standard Zen Cart disclaimer in the default template to save people the bother of taking it out as I find most people do so when modifying the Zen Cart e-mail templates.

The standard Zen Cart disclaimer text is pretty poor IMO...

Also, if I may request - an option to turn off the "powered by zen cart" portion of the $EMAIL_DISCLAIMER would be helpful I think. (Yes, I just commented it out in the code).

..as you've noticed. :)

As it's the ZC standard I'm afraid I'll not be changing it.

And FYI, I added an . "\n" to add a line break after each product listing in the html email on about line 132 of
admin/includes/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php
to make a cleaner email and avoid the super-long line it was producing.

That's not a "cleaner" e-mail but I know what you mean... I'd meant to put a newline there but forgot. I've now made the change in the "trunk" for the module.. so it's there if a new version gets released.

I can send you what I did if it is of any help... Although I would guess my mods are pretty obvious...

Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you- your module has been a life-saver, and I have convinced our store-client, who is super-happy, to make a donation!

I'm glad you like it. I hope the store does well.

All the best...
