Hi,



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..

Hello,
I was having problem with special chars in title and the display in the bisn form at the bottom of the page. As my shop is in utf8 it shows the ?

Now i recently noticed that replacing htmlentities in tpl_product_info_display.php solves the problem like so:

$intro_text = sprintf(BACK_IN_STOCK_NOTIFICATION_TEXT_FORM_INTRO,
    //htmlentities($products_name));
    strip_tags($products_name)); 

Is it known that htmlentities doesn't cope well with utf8?
Are there drawbacks i should consider changing the code like this?

thanks,
jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

Is it known that htmlentities doesn't cope well with utf8?

htmlentities without any parameters doesn't support UTF8. You need to upgrade toa more recent version of Ceon Back In Stock Notifications, support for UTF8 was added in April 2009!

(2.6.0 is most recent release, a slightly newer version will be out later this month).

For your reference:

htmlentities($products_name, ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET) 

..is how UTF8 is supported in the htmlentities function.

All the best..

Ahh, thats too bad, i just downloaded and used version 2.2.4 which was the latest available in the zen-cart downloads section. Didn't realise there would be a newer version elsewhere, i'll go and find that one.

Thanks for explaining the htmlentities, i still have some minor issues with utf8, it is good to know i can use the function in this way to support the char set.

No. Stock by attributes will NEVER be supported.

Oh dear, I didn't realise the downloads area was so out of date! That downloads area is such a pain (for developers, obviously it's handy for users)!

I'll upload the new version to it of course.

Yes, it's good to know how these things work for future use.

All the best..
