Ceon Back In Stock Notifications 3.0.0

[conor]

Hi,

I'm using zen cart 1.3.9h and your back in stock addon (works great) but how could I set up a button in product listing page next to "out of stock" to redirect customers to the addon to be notified when in stock?

Glad you like the software.. I'm working on v4 at the minute (with support for products with attributes via the forthcoming Ceon Product Variants module), hopefully it can be released soon.

The functionality you are asking for is already part of the software. You must have missed the step where you modify functions_general.php

Follow the installation instructions again (specifically the step "Updated Core File"), and you should be able to get things working so that the product listings link to the subscription form when a product (which has no attributes) is out of stock.

All the best..

Extra functionality
I am paying CEON to add these features to BISN for my own use.

Catalog
Adding an optional telephone number field
Adding an optional ask a question field

Admin:
Show product model in subscription list (sortable)
Add a Delete button for subscriptions
Status indication (manually changed) of whether the question has been answered or not.

It is not planned to include these in the current free version…let me know by pm if anyone wishes to contribute/have this functionality too.

Regards
Steve

Will the next version include the ability to delete subscriptions? I've been doing it through phpMyAdmin up until now.

It will actually, as a very nice person is donating a bit towards its development and he asked for that very feature.

Lucky for you then!

Is there a way to hack this add-on to display the subscriber's email address in the email that is sent when they sign up? Otherwise, to dig up the email you have to go all the way into the admin section and search for it. If the email address was right there at the bottom of the email (perhaps with useranme, time, ip, for office use, etc) it would be helpful.

The "extra info" Zen Cart adds to its other standard e-mails?

I don't see why I shouldn't add that into version 4. Will do.

Don't ask when v4 is out, I don't comment, time is tight at the minute, support from people here very weak, and it'll be out when I have time to finish and release it; maybe, hopefully, later this month.

All the best..

I thought I would post up something that I have done that I found helpful to use with this mod.

I update my inventory often, but don't always remember to check the Back In Stock page to send users emails.


Using the information found in this thread:

http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...for-a-cron-job


This is for 1.5, but in the referenced thread, you can deduce what you need to do for earlier versions.


Create a new admin profile and grant it ONLY access to the 'Ceon Back in Stock Notifications' page.

Create a new admin user and assign it to the newly created profile.

Take note of the system assigned user number!

Edit your admin/includes/init_includes/init_admin_auth.php file

Add the following (in red):

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) die('Illegal Access');

if (!isset($_SESSION['admin_id']) && defined('CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID') && (int)CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID != 0) {
$_SESSION['admin_id'] = CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID;
}


Now edit ceon's BIN file (admin/back_in_stock_notifications.php)

Right at the top where it says 'don't touch!',

add (in red) Change the # to be what YOUR newly created user id NUMBER is:


define('CEON_BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATIONS_VERSION', '3.2.0');
define('CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID', '#');
require('includes/application_top.php');




Now schedule a cron job every few hours/days/whatever to send the emails, if any are needing to be sent.

Adjust the below to suit your site.

Cron job:

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://www.MYDOMAIN.com/admin-XXXXXXXXXXXXX/back_in_stock_notifications.php?action=send&option=4'



Enjoy.
