Back In Stock Notifications

Just noticed that this mod doesn't work anymore

i get this at the bottom of the product pages > Couldn't open template file: /home/www/xxx.xxx/xxx/includes/templates/template_default/templates/inc.html.back_in_stock_notifications.html

have you ever bumped into this issue

Hi,

No, it's not an issue. You've made some sort of mistake and deleted the file on your site or changed the permissions or something. Check it out and restore the file if necessary and things should work fine.

All the best..

Hi,

qisahn:

This is coming 2 years late, but your module rocks! Thank you!

I'm glad you like it!

qisahn:

I can't figure what is wrong. As a temporary fix, I changed the code in functions_general

This is a problem with your SEO software, it is changing the sort query string parameter into a URI part but clearly isn't converting it back properly.

You should get new SEO software or simply continue to use the workaround you've created.

Sorry I can't be of more help than that but this is a problem with this other module, there's nothing for me to fix - regarding the issue you are having - in the BISN module.

All the best...

there is no need to be sorry.

thank you for putting me on the right direction :)

Help from anyone would be appreciated! I'm a newbie running the latest version of zencart and mysql. Everything appears to be running until I get to the admin. I get a blank page at admin>Back In Stock Notification. Looked at the debug and here is what it states:

[05-Sep-2010 07:38:35] PHP Warning:  main(/zencart/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php) [<a href='function.main'>function.main</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /zencart/admin/back_in_stock_notifications.php on line 18
[05-Sep-2010 07:38:35] PHP Fatal error:  main() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/zencart/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php' (include_path='/usr/lib/php:.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /store/admin/back_in_stock_notifications.php on line 18

I've been through the posts on all 42 pages so that I would not ask something that is often asked. Found some mention of the blank pages but nothing that helped me with this.

There is one other thing that I don't understand. This is what my button looks like and I'm not sure why it doesn't look like the button in the sample.

Hi,

Ranch Dog:

Failed opening required '/zencart/includes/functions/back_in_stock_notifications_functions.php'

You've set up your admin configure file wrongly.

Fix admin/includes/configure.php so that DIR_FS_ADMIN points to your **admin **and **not **your store's main folder as it is currently!

That'll get things working.

As for the image, what you posted is fine, that's the standard for Zen Cart. The example is from a store with a custom (better ;) ) layout/template from the standard Zen Cart installation.

All the best...

Greetings from South Texas Conor, you tip worked like a charm, now I have an Admin panel and can handle a more custom button (I think). Another problem surfaced; in Catalog>Back In Stock Notifications> clicking "Go" on any selection takes me back to the Admin Login. I will search this tread to see if I can find an answer.

This is an add-on that you will find RDO supporting! Well done!

I built a small "Out of Stock" button and have it up. I also have the Wish List add-on and it is up and running.

This should reduce the size of the Add to Cart box giving me more room for product discription. I also made a Back-In-Stock button but now need to figure out how to put it in place of the text link.

Still having that problem with logout back to the Admin login mentioned in my previous post. I'm still looking through the past posts to see if I find it.

Conor,

I followed your advise in post #58 and now have a neat panel that has my buttons in place...

Every thing has checked out on the customer side but know I must solve the big problem of the logout anytime I go to Catalog>Back In Stock Notifications>. Clicking "Go" on any selection from the drop-down menu takes me back to the Admin Login. The action is not being captured in a debug so I don't even know where to start.

That doesn't sound right, it sounds like your server may be interrupting the form submission. I'll get in contact with you privately about this as I don't think it's directly related to the module.

Thanks so much, that brings the number of donations up to 2 in just over a year.. it's greatly appreciated! :)

That looks well, I'm glad you got it sorted the way you wanted it.

Thanks again for supporting us, you're a rare gem!

That is a shame in that this is a great add-on and given the amount of support you give to get and keep it running!

i got it working but for some reason i needed the theinc.html.back_in_stock_notifications.html file to be in the following folder /includes/templates/template_default/template/
for some reason it didn't work if it was in my template/template folder

Are you using the latest version of the software, from version 2.4.0 upwards the functionality to load the template from the store's template directory should work.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before I glanced through the thread (40+ pages) but could not see it. Is there a way for me to remove someone from a notification list without going into the database etc? We have some people who subscribe to everything, no idea why or what good it does them, and we also have one-off deals arranged for certain customers and again for unknown reasons some people subscribe to these too. When I run my 'send notifications' dozens of these needless emails are sent. There is also a product we have in the store that we dont sell, its for info purposes only but I have lost count how many people have subscribed for back in stock info on it so it would be handy to tidy these bits up if I can.
Cheers

Hi,

I'm afraid the only way to do this is through database software such as PHPMyAdmin. Sorry, but there are no plans to add the functionality you are talking about.

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!

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..
