Ceon Back In Stock Notifications 3.0.0

[OLCS]

Hi Conor,

Another amazing add on, well done!

I think I may have broken it though

I had a test customer setup which I used to add a product notification so I could see the layout of the form and extra text on my product info page. Once I had played with the formatting of the page I then deleted the test customer. Now when I go into the admin it shows that I still have a product with a back in stock notification against it which I cannot get rid of.

I tried sending the notification email in the hope that would clear it however I just get a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.

Is there a way I can delete this record from the database? If so where would I find it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi,

Glad that you like it and that it may be useful for your store! Clearly it's not the best-written module though, there's a lot that's quite basic in it, that should be done much better. :)

I think I may have broken it though

I'm not sure entirely, but, well, it doesn't have functionality to delete subscriptions when a customer is deleted, and various other functionality like that that ideally it should have.

Quite simply, we've never deleted a customer, and no-one else who maybe has done so, has ever asked for the software to also delete subscriptions for customers that have been deleted. Adding such support would be easy but obviously as the admin has no notification system, the core file that handles the customer deletion would have to be modified.

Or, if there's a simple way to check that a customer doesn't exist, at the time when e-mails are sent, the subscription could be deleted then regardless... currently they are deleted after being sent though so this is why I say above "not sure entirely".. certainly a 500 error is "not right".

I've just been notified that Ceon Cardsave Direct, Ceon PaymentSense Direct and Ceon Iridium Direct are all incompatible with PHP 5.4 (due to passing an object by reference) so I'm busy sorting those out.

I'll check into this issue for BISN version 4, when I get time to work on it.

In the meantime use PHPMyAdmin and search by product_id in the back_in_stock_notification_subscriptions table, then just delete that subscription by hand.

Not the nicest way to do things, but the module is fairly basic (although definitely useful and usable as attested by the increased sales on people's stores :) ).

Have a good evening.

All the best...

Hi Conor,

Thanks for the response, and thanks for coming back to me so quickly.

You are way too harsh on yourself, it works really well, and if I wasn't a doughnut I wouldn't have had this problem :) Your solution worked though so am all ok again now, thank you.

Sounds like a busy time you have ahead of you, quite understandable you don't have the time to sort out little 'niggles'.

Have a good evening

Thank you. You too!

No problem, I'll always reply when able.

Thanks for the nice comments, but my views on software certainly mean that BISN isn't great at all.. its functionality is decent enough though and it makes a difference so that'll do for now. :)

Glad things are working now. Not sure why a 500 error would have appeared.. we'll see if I encounter it when looking into your issue further for version 4.

Ahead of me, lol, if I'd ever any time all these things would work well (although in a completely different form.. complete tangent... anyway..)

Thank you. You too!

Will do. :)

All the best...
