Back In Stock Notifications

[conor]

Hi,

Hello Cron,

Who's Cron? :)

comes up when I look at the product, but when I click on the link nothing happens.

It sounds like the form is missing form your product_info page.

You'll have to follow the installation procedure again but this time be sure you add the form to the right version of your product_info template(s)..

If you have a template override in use (you have a modified version of tpl_product_info_display.php in your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates folder) then you need to merge the BISN modified template file template with your override file.

By the way, the latest version is 2.6.0.. download and install it instead of that old version.

If that's not the version in the Zen Cart downloads area then obviously I'll need to release a new version there. You can always get the latest version from the ceon website.

All the best..

Hi Conor,

I had 2.2.4 on my 1.3.8 version of Zen Cart and it worked great. Since I upgraded my store to v1.3.9h and BISN v.2.6.0 it has not worked properly.

Everything looks right, but when I enter the name an email address in the form and click on the "notify me" button, it goes to the shopping cart page. When I check the admin "back in stock notifications" list, it is not there, it wasn't written into the database table.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

It sounds like you've messed up the installation and that the notification form is *inside* the product's form.. so instead of submitting to the back in stock notification handler page, it's submitting to the shopping cart ("Add to cart") page.

You'll need to install it again, taking greater care when modifying your tpl_ file(s).

All the best..

I apologize if this has been answered previously.

Zencart version: 1.3.9h
Ceon BIS version: 2.6.0

Everything works great except when I click to email the back in stock notifications, I get the following error message:

Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport.

Then I receive an email to our admin address with the Subject: Mail failure - no recipient addresses

The email says:

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no
delivery could be attempted.

Hi! my problem was with email_template files because my default language is spanish (code "sp"), so there were some warnings about file locations that only could be solved by duplicating email_template_back_in_stock_* files in both email/ and email/sp/ directories. I found that the solution for full language dependence in email templates was by replacing:

admin/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notification_functions.php

$text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES . 'email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt');

by

    $langfolder = (strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) == 'en') ? '' : strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) . '/';
    $text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES . $langfolder .
        'email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt');

includes\modules\pages\back_in_stock_notification_subscribe\header_php

    $text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES .     'email_template_back_in_stock_notification_subscribe.txt');

by

 $langfolder = (strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) == 'en') ? '' : strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) . '/';
    $text_msg_source = file_get_contents(DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES .  $langfolder .         'email_template_back_in_stock_notification_subscribe.txt');

so you can place the whole email templates into email/your_language_code/ directory

Hope that helps.

I am trying the new BISN 2.6.0 and installed/upgraded ZC 1.3.9h. The earlier version of BISN was working well on ZC 1.3.8a.

The following is the error that i am getting:

when i run mysql: i get the below message

" 11 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot create table back_in_stock_notification_subscriptions because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details."

i see the BISN on my site if i subscribe a product i als get a mail.

but when i go to catalog->BISN i get the below message:

https://www.xxxxxxxx.com/store/xxxxx...ifications.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

Please help

(It is apparently not picking up on the subscriber's email address and inserting it for some unknown reason.)



My Email Transport is set to PHP and all other emails I send work fine, including when someone subscribes to a Back In Stock Notification.

The only thing not working properly is the notification/email process itself.

Have I missed something?

Still trying to get this fixed.
Something else I noticed...when I send a 'test email' it goes thru and I receive it (admin copy), but it doesn't include a link to the product.

Hi,

Still trying to get this fixed.

Sorry, I have no idea what you've done wrong.

The software has no known issues, it works for everyone else.

You should try reinstalling it from scratch.

All the best..
