Back In Stock Notifications

Hi,

If there's nothing to modify, just copy, this should be quite easy, correct?

I copied the two files into includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/

Umm, "YOUR_TEMPLATE" should be the name of your template! ;)

Put the files in the correct directory for your template and everything will be fine.

All the best...

It is I just didn't type the real name here because that's info that no one else needs to know. The two files are in the correct place.

Fixed it. Looks like one of the template files was corrupted during the transfer. It was there, but something was wrong with it. I copied it again and now it works fine.

Just did a test and it looks good. Nice piece of software!

Hi Conor it's me again. I understand what you are saying about seo problem, but this is my problem. If I go to my categories and then to home and outdoors/Kitchen And Entertainingand go to page 3 you will see the cookware that is out of stock. Now if you click the To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here the page loads just fine to the back in stock form, but if you search for the item with the model number 28518 at the top and click on the To be notified when this product is back in stock please click here the page will not go to the back in stock form, it just goes to the Kitchen And Entertaining category. This is kind of strange. Do you have any other suggestion for me. Thanks again. I have exclude the back_in_stock_notification_form, but this seems not to work. This is the URL at the top when you click to be notified.

I have ask Yellow about this to. He said to exclude it and I did but if you read above you will see the problem. Thank Conor for your help.

Hi,

the page will not go to the back in stock form, it just goes to the Kitchen And Entertaining category. This is kind of strange.

I understand what is happening.. your SEO module is messing up the link on the advanced search page.. I don't know how the module works but it seems to be converting some query string parameters into uri parts (like inc_subcat/0 ). It isn't actually building a proper link to the product page, which is why the form is not being displayed.

There's no problem whatsoever with the BISN module. The problem is with your SEO software.

Maybe you can exclude the advanced search page from it or something.

I'm afraid that I can be no more help.

All the best...

One last thing....

I was thinking that this system was fully automated, however when i tested it, but putting a product out of stock, and then putting the product back instock, no email was sent to the two people i have subscribed to that product notification.

Do i have to go to the admin and select send actual email every time i update stock?

Information on this would be great.

Thanks again

No, I've posted here quite a bit to say that it isn't! :)

Yes, that way you have control over when notifications are sent out. It also means that if several products come back into stock at once and some people are subscribed to more than one notification list that they just get one e-mail instead of several.. which can help avoid problems with spam filters etc.

If you need to automate it you can write a small cron script or the likes.

All the best...

Just a note that i've got the "back in stock notification" language files translated in French if someone needs it. Working on the German ones now...

Great mod btw, thanks!
