Back In Stock Notifications

[jbible]

Couldnt find it.
I got everything working except for it working correctly on product_music_info
It works if you click the request link in the product listings... with this url...
http://www.experimedia.net/notificat...ification_form (except for the fact that it doubles it up the request link line by the sold out box)
But then it doesnt show when your on the actual product page itself...

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

Ahha. Well it does work for those products if you click it from the product listing... just not on the details page themselves... which will do for now until you upgrade it a bit.
Thanks for the info and the great mod!

Hello Conor
Thank you for this great MOD.
I have one questions:
1 - I would like the button back_in_stock in tpl_product_info is active if the stock is equal to -2. Where do the modification?
Thank you again
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Glad you like the software!

active if the stock is equal to -2. Where do the modification?

Obviously that's an unusual request but you can change the quantity threshold at which the link is displayed on a product info page by modifying the file

includes/classes/observers/class.back_in_stock_notificationsProductInfo.php

changing the line:

if ($products_quantity <= 0 

to

if ($products_quantity <= -2 

To change this threshold on other pages (listing pages etc.) would require custom coding of some core files.

All the best...

Great mod!

If anyone else is using Fast and Easy Checkout with COWOA enabled, there's a teeny change that has to be applied to /includes/modules/pages/back_in_stock_notifications_subscribe/header.php (line 145) so that COWOA accounts don't get flagged as having an account:

Change

customers_email_address = '" . zen_db_prepare_input($email_address) . "';";

to

customers_email_address = '" . zen_db_prepare_input($email_address) . "' AND COWOA_account = 0;";

Can you explain where this is a problem? Does it break the functionality of the notification or populate the fields (potentially pissing off the cowoa people)?

Hey, Conor! This is still one of my favorite Mods of all! I thought of something that would make it even better for Brushwood and wonder if you can do or guide me on something. I'm interested in a text box that Admin can send a paragraph extra with an update. The text that goes out with the email is fine but lots of times, I'd like to send a little more. Something appropriate to the season (we update about 4x per year).

Down the road, I'd like to be able to select which product notices will go out; check boxes and a Select All box.

I am willing to support your efforts on each of these.

Without the change, a person who has previously placed a COWOA order will receive a confirmation e-mail for the notification that tells them that they should log into their account to withdraw the notification ... which they can't do because they don't have an account!

With this change, the confirmation e-mail that takes the COWOA person to the back_in_stock_notifications_unsubscribe page to terminate their subscription.

How is it that customers receive HTML versions of the back-in-stock notification email? My admin is set up for HTML and the test customer also has email set for HTML, but when I do a test-run of the notification email ... all I get is TEXT.

Ah, thank you! I have made the change. Have you noticed any other COWOA glitches? The COWOA is a quickie rigged thing and I'm sure there are other situations that arise.
Conor, I apologize for hijacking this thread. lat9, I can take the answer by PM.
