Request Restock Mod Thread

Yellow are you still supporting this? Are you on holidays? I just want to know if there are any plans of making this compatible with stock with attributes?

Thanks for a great mod, pity I can't use it for the majority of my store.

I will upgrade this module around June, and will see if I can provide support for attributes.

Regards

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":

I would love to be able to make this change, I am unable to find where to put the code and which files to edit.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello Yellow,
Is there a zip file for the latest version of Request Stock?
I 've looked at this link and dont know how to download and save tese files in php?
Tahnks,

Is it possible we could get an update for version 1.3.8? I would very much like to use this module.

:smile:

Doing a search using your editing tools for key wording will get you started....

As luck would have it, I was just looking for the same answer.... so here it is.

As it turns out for this, my search ended at one file which did it all for product lists. The file is /includes/functions/functions_general.php you need to leave it in place and not take it into the override system. I have modified this mod for my own use, so I may be off on some of the basic wording.

Around line 1148 make the following edits.... (use notepad++ if you wont line numbers)

Change this..

if ($_GET['main_page'] == zen_get_info_page($product_id)) {
        $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_ALT);
      } else {
        $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT_SMALL, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_SMALL_ALT);
      }
```to this...

  if ($_GET['main_page'] == zen_get_info_page($product_id)) {
    $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_ALT);
  } else {
    $return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_REQUEST_RESTOCK, BUTTON_REQUEST_RESTOCK_ALT);
  }

***CAUTION This seems to be a core file... be careful of your edits. MAKE BACKUPS! ***  

I'm still editing so this is not up on my live sites.

**yellow1912 -- **You mentioned that you would be making updates... will they be on admin side or catalog.   I'd like to have more control of the admin before I upload.  I'd like the ability to delete requests and email one or many if an item ends up being removed and not restocked.  I'll try my luck with it if you have other plans.

Hello,

I am new to Zencart and recently installed request restock. It seems to be working fine except the initial email that goes out looks like this:

$EMAIL_GREETING

$EMAIL_WELCOME
Restock Summary:
Have any question? Please contact us
$PRODUCTS_DETAIL

Any specific advice on how to remedy would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a problem with the back button. When you are about to send a request but then decide to click the back button, then suddenly it goes to the sitemap instead of going back to the product page? Does anyone have a solution to this?

Actually it's a 404 error, page not found. Does anybody know why it's doing this?

this turned out to be a IE8 browser problem but still don't understand why?:unsure:

Hi,

Anyone know how to turn off the request restock for out oof stock items? I am using a template that includes this add on, but i can't find how to turn it off

Thanks in advance

Hello, i have installed this mod 2 weeks ago. i think it must be version 3.5 as links in email are fine readme says 3.5 and everything works fine.

The problem is that in my Admin CP > Configuration > Restock Request is always blank and nothing comes there ever. That should be the setting panel for the mod as i understood while reading the whole forum :).

There was another person with that problem and you have uploaded a new restock_request.php for Admin folder.
I have tried that also but again nothing happens.

Also i wanted to know if after every request, can it send an email to the administrator automatically or we can only check from Catalog > Restock Requests ?

Does this happen to work with 1.3.8 anyone know?

Is this the best option for refunding/restocking?

Okay, I'm having a really queer problem with this mod. For the most part, it works really well. But for whatever reason, it's adding "Request Restock Product" to the main heading in most of my store's pages. What's more, it's adding it to the title in some cases. I can't find a rhyme or reason to it. If someone could tell me what's going on, I'd appreciate it quite a bit. The store is located at homiciderocker.com. I'm running 1.3.8, and have quite a bit of modification. Thanks!!

I got it sorted out. Somehow the request_restock.php file with all the language defines in it got put into the **includes/languages/english/extra_definitions **folder rather than in the **includes/languages/english/templatename **folder. Moving the file solved the problem.
