Request Restock Mod Thread

[supersnow]

Yellow are you still supporting this? Are you on holidays? I just want to know if there are any plans of making this compatible with stock with attributes?

Thanks for a great mod, pity I can't use it for the majority of my store.

[yellow1912]

I will upgrade this module around June, and will see if I can provide support for attributes.

Regards

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 would love to be able to make this change, I am unable to find where to put the code and which files to edit.

Any help would be appreciated

Doing a search using your editing tools for key wording will get you started....

As luck would have it, I was just looking for the same answer.... so here it is.

As it turns out for this, my search ended at one file which did it all for product lists. The file is /includes/functions/functions_general.php you need to leave it in place and not take it into the override system. I have modified this mod for my own use, so I may be off on some of the basic wording.

Around line 1148 make the following edits.... (use notepad++ if you wont line numbers)

Change this..

if ($_GET['main_page'] == zen_get_info_page($product_id)) {
        $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_ALT);
      } else {
        $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT_SMALL, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_SMALL_ALT);
      }

to this...

      if ($_GET['main_page'] == zen_get_info_page($product_id)) {
        $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_ALT);
      } else {
        $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_REQUEST_RESTOCK, BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT);
      }

It's just the last line that needs changing. Make sure that BUTTON_IMAGE_REQUEST_RESTOCK is what you used for the button system. This just replaces the image, I tried entering code here but the product ID is not here so it didn't work for me. On my product information page is where the coding takes place for me. I fix it so it shows up under the sold out image... I also do other things here for restock that's not part of this mod so I can't show you everything.

CAUTION This seems to be a core file... be careful of your edits. MAKE BACKUPS!

I'm still editing so this is not up on my live sites.

yellow1912 -- You mentioned that you would be making updates... will they be on admin side or catalog. I'd like to have more control of the admin before I upload. I'd like the ability to delete requests and email one or many if an item ends up being removed and not restocked. I'll try my luck with it if you have other plans.

Hello,

I am new to Zencart and recently installed request restock. It seems to be working fine except the initial email that goes out looks like this:

$EMAIL_GREETING

$EMAIL_WELCOME
Restock Summary:
Have any question? Please contact us
$PRODUCTS_DETAIL

Any specific advice on how to remedy would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a problem with the back button. When you are about to send a request but then decide to click the back button, then suddenly it goes to the sitemap instead of going back to the product page? Does anyone have a solution to this?
