Back In Stock Notifications

[conor]

Hi,

No problem, i'll just have to learn more about phpmyadmin.
thanks anyway its a great mod

PHPMyAdmin's a great tool to learn how to use. Of course, it's a pity that the software doesn't do all you want it to out of the box but I'm glad you like it anyway, thanks for the nice comments!

All the best..

I just found this nice module and trying to integrate it to our test shop. Looks very promising!

After little wondering why module is showing a notification subscribe link on product listing page although I'm just subscribed, I made following little modification;

In the functions_general.php file on line 1167:

product_id = '" . (int)$_GET['products_id'] . "'

to

product_id = '" . $product_id . "'

After that modification link is showed as expected. Probably a bug or have I misunderstood something?

It's a minor bug but it is indeed a bug.. silly wee one too! I'll include this change in the next version.

Clearly I must have forgotten to update the code for the buy now button when I added the ability to subscribe to the back in stock notification list straight from the product listing page.

Thanks for letting me know.

All the best..

Hello Everybody,

I am having problems installing Back In Stock Notifications. to be more specific adding the SQL patch. I did that by inserting the mysql file, I did that by inserting the plain text and I tried with my phpMyAdmin as well. Nothing worked.

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a, MySQL5.0.


If I do the patching with zen cart I am getting these messages:

11 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATION_ENABLED" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot create table back_in_stock_notification_subscriptions because it already exists
Warning Note: 3 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.


At admin area in configuration menu I can see "Back in stock Notifications" option and it works, but there is no Catalog > Back In Stock Notifications Menu.

The module seems to be working partly. I can send Notification via e-mail but when I put my item back in stock there is no notification for back in stock..


please..... if anyone knows... please HELP...

Thank you in advance...

Glad you got it sorted and an easy mistake to make. I may try to stress the fact that the admin folder's name is often changed in the next release as everyone's changing its name these days for Zen Cart's suggested security by obscurity! :)

All the best...

After looking at the Cherry Zen tpl_product_info_display file I notice it is not the same as the standard zen tpl_product_info_display file. It has bee modified for the Cherry Zen Template by jettrue the maker of the Cherry Zen Template. I compared the 2 file in WinMerge and the only 2 pieces of code I added from the Back In Stock Notifications tpl_product_info_display file to the the one in cherry zen was this here if anybody else has run into this problem.
In the cherry zen tpl_product_info_display file add this code to line 100.


and on line 234 add this code


Your Back In Stock Notifications will work and look like it should.
I thought I would share this with all cherry zen template users who would like to use this Module.
Thanks Coner for this very nice Module.

Thanks so much for this. I have the same problem with Cherry Zen and the description appearing above the notification part.

Hello guys,

I am wondering is it possible to include a "contact number" field when the customers fill up for restock? *The contact number may not be a cumpolsory field, customer can either fill it up or dont*

and then the admin part will also show the contact number of the customer :)

Thanks a lot ya!

That should be easy enough to add on to the software. It would be custom coding though, so you'll have to pay someone to add the functionality.

They'll need t add the phone number field to the form, the form handling code, the database recording code, then the admin display code.

All the best..
