Request Restock Mod Thread

[jettrue]

HI!

Great mod!

I found a small bug, you give a closing </div> in your button code in the readme.txt, but no opening div.

<!--bof Restock button-->

<?php

if ($products_quantity <= 0) { ?>

<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_REQUEST_RESTOCK, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_REQUEST_RESTOCK, BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT) . BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT . '</a>'; ?></div>



<?php

}

?>

<!--eof Restock button -->

Does anyone know where to place the code so that the request restock button/link will show up next to the "out of stock" icon in the list view.

I've got it in my product description but would also like someone to be able to request the restock when they are just browsing through the list. Often times people won't click on the item if it is showing up as out of stock and therefor they don't know that they can request a notification when it's back on the shelf so to speak.

Hope this makes sense.

You would have to edit many files just to do it, there are special listing, new listing, all products listing, ....
I don't remember the exact files names, but if you are familiar with editing ZC files then it's easy to do:
Say I want to edit the listing for my index site, I will view the source file of the file. I want to put the request button right under the price, so I look at the source code of "price":

<div class="price">$6.49</div> 

Now I can use a program that can search the content of many files (notepad++ for example) and search for

div class="price"

If that does not work then I may want to search for only

price

ZC sometimes build the html in the module files, sometimes in the template files, so it can get really confusing at first but you will get used to it. And I sure hope we will see code improvement on the later versions.

I have installed this add-on and seems to work great

but I did a test to be notified of a restock and all I got was
