Back In Stock Notifications

[conor]

Hi,

Hi I have been trying to get rid of HTML Errors on my pages. I have found that every page that has the back in stock notifications up gives 16 html errors and google does not like html errors.

That's not quite true, google doesn't really care that much.

Nevertheless there are indeed some ids missing from the example template that comes with the module which I will indeed fix for the next version.

I'll probably release a new version within the next few weeks and will check that the HTML of the example template validates.

I am trying to modify the email a customer gets when an item is back in stock. It doesn't look like i mod the ones in /email. Which ones do I modify?

You do modify the ones in that folder which were added by the module.

I have taken off the large image that the sold out button had. It is still giving a big space for it. How do I make it smaller so that the customer can see the product description?

Sorry, design questions aren't relevant for this thread. Please start a new thread for help with that issue.

All the best...

is there a way of getting this to work with attributes? so or our products have 6-7 different sizes and if one size is out it would be nice for someone to set -up notification for that size.

Would it be possible to set it up where someone could sign up in general?

We sell motorcycle apparel and all sizes but one might be out of stock, which means the item is still 'technically' in stock so this mod doesn't kick into effect.

We don't need it to keep up with which size they are specifically interested in (although that would be nice), but we would like for them to be able to get notice when we restock missing sizes.

I love the mod and it works great. It makes notifying customers so easy!

I guess the one change I would like to make in it is to show up all the time as opposed to only when the item is marked out of stock.

Is this possible?

Hi,

No, what you want to use in the "Product Notifications" functionality already built into Zen Cart. The Back In Stock Notifications module is not appropriate for what you are looking to do.

Hope that helps!

HI,
has anyone tried to insert this add on in tabbed ( TPP ) form?

[jbible]

Having trouble getting this to work. I have installed it three times and I am 99% sure I am doing everything right as I am quite experienced with zen cart mod installs.

Admin looks ok... but the restock box isnt showing up on sold out products.

I have went over my templates with a fine toothed comb and tried everything even down to copy the file exactly as it is just for tests sake and it still isnt showing up.

Any help would be much apprecaited.

Unfortunately the only answer is that yhou haven't installed it properly.

Either you are editing the wrong template files (check if you have an override in place in your template folder) or maybe you have disabled the module (have you added the admin configuration group/setting correctly - i.e. is it there and enabled)?

If you're still having trouble send me FTP and admin details via this link and I'll take a quick look.

All the best..

Well it seems to be working on product listings... just not on the Product Info page itself.
I am actually applying the modified chunks of code to my music product info template... tpl_product_music_info_display.php
Does that fact that it is product_music_info make a difference anywhere?
I have a few other mods added for wholesale pricing etc.

A quick test with the general product template and the fact that it works is making me suspect that the music product template is causing issues.
At least I have an idea of where to look now.

EDIT: Is there a way to get this to work with other product types?

[jbible]

I assume there is something in this addon that says if product type =1 true? Is that correct? If so can it be changed to 2? Been searching the code trying to find the way.

That's the exact reason and was just what I was going to say when I read your next post..

Currently the moduler only supports the standard product type.

I'll release a new version with support for other types whenever I get time. Can't say when that will be as I'm snowed under with "normal" work at the minute!

All the best..
