Hi,

Looking at the names of the files that I have installed (uploaded), it doesnt seem to be any that should warrant my entire site to not show?

If some of the global files hadn't uploaded properly then errors in them could stop your shop showing.

You'll have to try re-uploading all the files.

After that if you are still having trouble you should enable the display of errors on your site so you can see what is failing.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that, please search the forum and you'll find out how to fix problems with "blank pages".

Good luck!

All the best..

Hi,

As promised previously, a new version of the module has been created with a few small updates and a bugfix. It isn't an essential release but it is still advisable to upgrade.

From the Release History:

[UPDATED] Subscription form now displays for stock levels of zero or less (not just products which have a stock level of exactly zero!).
[BUGFIX] Subscription management link is now always displayed in the the account section, when the module is enabled, regardless of whether or not “Product Notifications” are enabled/disabled for the site.
[UPDATED] Installation documentation updated with information on adding the subscription pages to the index of pages which should not be indexed by search engines (web robots).
[UPDATED] Other minor documentation updates.

You can download the new version from our website:

Download Now!

It will also be available from the downloads area in a few days.

All the best...

Hi Conor,

Thanks for this great mod, like your other ones it is very well written!!

I came across this little formatting error when & quot ; (I can't do it in the forum without spaces or it will be converted to ") or & amp ; are used in the product title. It displays like this:

Simply enter your details below and we will send you an e-mail when “Tycoon Hammered Cowbell, 3 1/4" Silver”

I have to have the html character code because the " and & will get stripped from the page title bar in the browser plus Google Base uses XML files and " and & are not valid XML.

How would I go about changing this so that the text will convert the html character code into " and &?

Thanks!!

Hi Matt,

I have to have the html character code because the " and & will get stripped from the page title bar in the browser

The double quote gets stripped from the title bar here, but the ampersand doesn't, it is correctly converted to

&

.

plus Google Base uses XML files and " and & are not valid XML.

I'm afraid that's a problem with the Google Base code then.. it should convert these characters correctly.

How would I go about changing this so that the text will convert the html character code into " and &?

You can't. What you should do is use the quote character and ampersand character in the product's title change the output code for the title tag and Google Base to properly convert/quote the characters.

I can't comment on any Google functionality as I don't know about it but I found the line that gets rid of the quote in the title in includes/modules/meta_tags:

define('META_TAG_TITLE', str_replace('"','',$meta_products_name . $meta_products_price . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TERTIARY_SECTION . NAVBAR_TITLE)); 

Changing

str_replace('"',''

to

str_replace('"','"'

might work.

By the way, to quote HTML entities, just use the "Code" button on this forum.

That should all be enough to get things done the right way!

All the best...

Hi Conor,

Thanks for the advice!

I'm now trying to move the notify me button all of the way to the left instead all the way to the right but it appears that the div tag that I wrapped the button in is getting stripped by class.CeonXHTMLHiTemplate.php. What would I need to do to get the button to the left?

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

The template class strips the contents of any <ceon:variable> tags so don't place anything into those.

The template class strips the contents of any <ceon:if> tags if the content is not to be used (the variable is not set).

Also, your code must be inside one of the "template parts" or it won't be used.

If the problem's not cause by one of the above, I'm afraid I don't know what you are doing wrong!

All the best...

I love it it works like a charm one thing i wasn't able to do is the run the test it show that =Send Output
There are no notifications to be sent at this time.

but i did a deferent test i subscribe on one item and it when good then i have the items back in stock and then send the Actually send notification e-mail for the subscribers and it works really nice.
But the only thing im not getting is the notification when a customer subscribe for the item that is out of stok, basicly i have to check manualy.

thanks

typo

language file: back_in_stock_notifications_subscribe.php

Line: 31

"If, for any reason, you would like to unsubscribe from the Notification List for &ldquo;%s&rdquo; you can do so at any time my logging in to your Account and changing your Back In Stock Subscription Notification preferences."

"my" should be "by"

[pricediscrimination]

Is this supposed to take the user to the shopping cart once they submit?
