Back In Stock Notifications

[patrickuzu]

Hi
Thank you for your contribution ZenCart
After installing, there are 2 problems that I do not understand:
1 - Warning: file_get_contents(/web/biolavie/www/email/email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/biolavie/www/admin/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php on line 325

2 - The "Back" button will not go into the "My Acompte" and the "update" does nothing.

Thank you for your help
Best regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Glad you like the software. I'm sorry you've had difficulty setting it up though!

1 - Warning: file_get_contents(/web/biolavie/www/email/email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/biolavie/www/admin/includes/functions

You've forgotten to upload the files in the e-mail directory. Make sure you upload the file:

/web/biolavie/www/email/email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt

2 - The "Back" button will not go into the "My Acompte" and the "update" does nothing.

I'm afraid I don't know what you've done wrong there, sorry.

All the best..

Hi,



Currently the module only supports the standard product type. It does not support any of the other product types.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

Thank you so much for the clarification. That's probably something useful to put in the read me. I am sure there are other store owners that use more than one of the built in product types.

Thanks for the great mod!

Glad you like the module and I understand what you are saying. If/when I ever release a new version I'll update the docs then. If anyone ever needs more product types supported that's a possibility as well. There are no plans for that at this time though.

All the best...

In theory, could you merge the files supplied by the additional product type, with the same files in this mod using comparison software?

Or do other files in this mod make reference to the general product type?

Hi Faz,

That is one of the things that would have to be done. Obviously that wouldn't be difficult. I just don't have time to do it at the minute!

Or do other files in this mod make reference to the general product type?

Off the top of my head, notifiers/observers would also have to be set up.

Hope that helps!

All the best...

Hello,

First conor: Thanks for the module and the time you invested.

I'm running a german website. The module works fine so far. The only thing i can't get to work is the special characters in (Text-) E-Mails - e.g. the ö and ä and ü

Miss I something?

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know it's appreciated! :)

Hmm, I have only tested the e-mails the module sends with english words myself. I am not sure why it wouldn't work with special characters, obviously there's full UTF support for the HTML files. Is it text e-mails only? HTML e-mails work fine?

If so, I'm afraid that I'll have to say for the minute that special characters are possibly unsupported in text e-mails.

Sorry if that's bad news!

All the best...

Hi Conor,

I didn't test html mails, yet. But all the other System Mails from Zen-Cart comes in plain/text utf8 and display all special characters.

I'm not a programmer. But, I'll try to compare the code, which generates the e-mails. I guess anywhere there is the answer. :-)

Hi Olaf,

I didn't test html mails, yet. But all the other System Mails from Zen-Cart comes in plain/text utf8 and display all special characters.

Just spent 15 minutes there testing this out in various encodings and the module is working perfectly.

It is Zen Cart which sets the encoding of the e-mails. With the Zen Cart UTF-8 module installed, e-mails sent on our test server have the following header:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Here's an example of some text I just added into the admin languages definitions file for the Back In Stock Notifications module (admin/includes/languages/english/back_in_stock_notifications.php):

define('EMAIL_GREETING', 'DearϵЖ ä ü %s,ϵЖ');

The e-mail came through starting with:

DearϵЖ ä ü Conor Kerr,ϵЖ

Which as you can see is perfect.

You may have not saved your language file in UTF-8 format, or if you are adding text directly to the e-mail file, you may not have set it to be UTF-8 either (email_template_back_in_stock_notification.txt).

So this definitely works.. hopefully the above is enough to get this sorted for you. Otherwise I'm afraid there's nothing I can do here.

All the best...
