Request Restock Mod Thread

Ok i will do some checking. Is it possible the template overides are not working properly?

OK i checked,

request_restock.php is in /catalog/includes/languages/english/diytac/

I do not have a folder called template_default in /catalog/includes/languages/english/ as i don't believe i should.

I also checked in admin and my template is correctly pointing to "diytac"

What woud be the cause for it not to be read in the /diytac folder?

Ok, here is the solution which has just been tested: edit

/includes/languages/english/diytac/button_names.php

Add

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_REQUEST_RESTOCK','button_request_restock.gif');
define('BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT', 'Request Restock');

Done! That was again my stupid mistake. Should work fine now!

That did the trick! I didn't want the image in for application so i modified accordingly but it is definitely reading button_names.php

Thanks for taking the time to help.

Your are very welcomed! I'll post the fix for the number checking soon.

Alpha 3.2 changes:

1. Fixed the error with image and alternative text not displayed.
2. Fixed the error with input values not checked.
3. Some minor bugs.

I'll release alpha3.3 soon, which will allow you to better customize email template sent to the customers (which is very very important, imo).
I have it working great on my site already, just need to remove some hard-coded links so it can work on any site.

Alpha3.3 uploaded.

You MUST update to this version to fix a critical error!!!

Can some mod please help me to add these links to the first post:

Latest (stable version)

Please report bugs to the above link only since it's easier for me to keep track of the bugs.

Thank you

HI!

Great mod!

I found a small bug, you give a closing </div> in your button code in the readme.txt, but no opening div.

<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_REQUEST_RESTOCK, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_REQUEST_RESTOCK, BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT) . BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT . '</a>'; ?></div>

Thank you, and will update it soon ^^.

Does anyone know where to place the code so that the request restock button/link will show up next to the "out of stock" icon in the list view.

I've got it in my product description but would also like someone to be able to request the restock when they are just browsing through the list. Often times people won't click on the item if it is showing up as out of stock and therefor they don't know that they can request a notification when it's back on the shelf so to speak.

Hope this makes sense.

You would have to edit many files just to do it, there are special listing, new listing, all products listing, ....
I don't remember the exact files names, but if you are familiar with editing ZC files then it's easy to do:
Say I want to edit the listing for my index site, I will view the source file of the file. I want to put the request button right under the price, so I look at the source code of "price":

<div class="price">$6.49</div>

Now I can use a program that can search the content of many files (notepad++ for example) and search for

div class="price"

If that does not work then I may want to search for only

price

ZC sometimes build the html in the module files, sometimes in the template files, so it can get really confusing at first but you will get used to it. And I sure hope we will see code improvement on the later versions.

I have installed this add-on and seems to work great

but I did a test to be notified of a restock and all I got was

Dear carlos

Product XYZ

No, it's the newest

Are you sure that you uploaded all the files in the folder "email" to your corresponding folder on the server?
