Back In Stock Notifications

[conor]

Hi,

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!

Glad to hear that you like the software!

I'm happy to include your translation(s) in future versions of the module. If you're happy with that please just send a zip of the files to me at the e-mail address in the source code.

I'll of course attribute copyright/authorship to yourself in the files.. so please also let me know what name/e-mail address you'd like the copyright attributed to!

All the best...

Fantastic Mod - its one of my all times favs - big thumbs up

One question - is there a way to remove a stock notification if the product is not an old or deleted one (I know there is an option for deleted products)? We have someone we no longer ship to for various reasons and have closed their account on the website, however they keep on adding subscriptions to products using this module and when we do the 'actually send email notifications' it also sends to this customer also and she then complains when she goes to order it and cant saying we should not email her if we wont let her buy it! I have explained many times she should not keep subscribing to stock notifications as we wont sell to her but its in one ear and out the other. We have deleted her account so cannot login as customer and remove the alerts so removing them from the module before sending emails would be the ideal scenario so we dont have to have anything to do with this ex-customer.

Any way to do this?

I'm afraid the module isn't built to cope with mentals! I could add support for deletion of individual notifications for mental people but I don't think I'll be making it a priority! ;p

You can always manually delete this person's subscriptions from the database by searching the database table against her e-mail address (as clearly she can't have a user account again).

Hope that helps with this "unusual" situation!

Hi

Is it possible to (easily) remove the 'name' and 'confim email' field from the notification form?

Thanks

Hi Faz,

Is it possible to (easily) remove the 'name' and 'confim email' field from the notification form?

Yes, it would be easy enough.. you'd open yourself to a lot of spamming though as without the confirmation address field you'll have automated scripts signing up for notifications by submitting the forms.. really not a good idea!

I'd say it would be better to have lots of genuine subscriptions rather than spam!

All the best...

Could you tell me how?

Point noted, but if it's not too much of a tedious task I can give it a try and revert back if required.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you tell me how?

You'll need to do some custom coding of the following page:

includes\modules\pages\back_in_stock_notification_subscribe\header_php.php

You should remove any reference to the name and confirmation form fields ('name'/'cofnospam').

You could then remove these form fields from the template file:

includes\templates\template_default\templates\inc.html.back_in_stock_notificatio ns.html (Copy the template file to your template directory first of course).

Because of the way the Ceon template class works (which is rather nifty if I don't say so myself), these are the only two files that should need changed for the actual website.. the final file(s) would be the email templates, to remove the customer's name for example. Pretty standard stuff!

Point noted, but if it's not too much of a tedious task I can give it a try and revert back if required.

It's up to you of course!

All the best...

Hi conor
i have searched every post without fortune.
I have installed the mod just like the instructions say!!
After all when i go to my account all disappear except the left side sideboxes and the header.
When i upload the old tpl_account _default all come normal!!!
Plus,i use tpl_product_free_shipping_info_display instead tpl_product_info_display,in that page nothing different.

Can you help me?
TY

Hi,

After all when i go to my account all disappear except the left side sideboxes and the header.

That means that the template file is failing, probably with a PHP error or because the file wasn't uploaded fully. Try uploading it again.

If it is still failing then you've got something wrong in the code somewhere.. please search this forum for "blank page" and follow the instructions in the wiki about enabling the display of PHP errors.. you will more than likely then see an error message which will explain what is wrong with your site.

Plus,i use tpl_product_free_shipping_info_display instead tpl_product_info_display,in that page nothing different.

I'm afraid you'll have to use software like winmerge to add the necessary code to that file. It isn't currently supported, only the standard "product" type is supported, not music product types or free shipping product types etc.

Hope that all helps!

All the best...
