Notify me! button opens cart!?

[Venkko]

I Just noticed that if I have product with stock quantity 0 and I press "notify me!" button on the product details, it opens shopping cart.

Is this how it should work???

VM 2.0.0
J1.5.23

Same happens to me... I think it's a bug...the only way stock control works is using the disable product option... but that just unpublishes the product from the catalog, I haven't been able to fix this yet... stock control is very important... if anyone knows how to fix it or has a workaround... please share!

[jfoc]

Still no answers??? No option but to remove the product from the shop?

[jenkinhill]

That still happens in SVN version 5282 so I guess has not yet been fixed in the core.

[smartserver]

So what with notify button? Still when i click on button "Notify" its open empty cart. What can we do with it? Plz help!

[TBoele]

What's the meaning of the Notify button on the product details page ?
In VM 2.0.1N it just add the product to the cart and open de order cart page.

[MaHe29]

It would be nice to see a fix for this one, since the issue is known for a while.

[TBoele]

Still not fixed in the stable version VM 2.0.2

I cant actually call this a solution, but it is a workaround for the current problem until we get a solution

replace the Add To Cart Button code in components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php with this.

Code Select Expand


<?php
// Add To Cart Button
if ($this->product->product_in_stock > 1) {
                 if (!empty($this->product->prices) and !empty($this->product->images[0]) and $this->product->images[0]->file_is_downloadable==0 ) {
                  echo $this->loadTemplate('addtocart'); 
 }
}else
{
  echo "<a href='mailto:your@email.address&subject=your subject&body=your content' class='notifyme'>Notify Me</a>";
}
?>


I created my own css class 'notifyme' to replicate the same look as the original button.

Good luck I hope this helps someone

I went ahead and wrote a hack until core fixes this issue.  Im using virtuemart 2.0.2, here it is:

create file
www/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/tables/waitingusers.php
and add this to it

Then add the code to add customers for notifying:
in  www/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/waitinglist.php in the class VirtueMartModelWaitingList add this function

Code Select Expand


<?php
# seyi_code
public function adduser($data) {

$field = $this->getTable('waitingusers');

if (!$field->bind($data)) { // Bind data
vmError($field->getError());
return false;
}

if (!$field->check()) { // Perform data checks
vmError($field->getError());
return false;

$_id = $field->store();
if ($_id === false) { // Write data to the DB
vmError($field->getError());
return false;
}


//jexit();
return $_id ;
}



Then allow a different layout in product details:
in www/components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/view.html.php, in function display right before "parent::display($tpl);" add this

Code Select Expand


<?php
if(JRequest::getVar('layout', '')=='notify') $this->setLayout('notify'); # seyi_code


Then create the notify page
create www/components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/notify.php and add this to it

The notify link would need to be styled.

[DaggaTora]

Can this code work with 2.0.7j?

[seyi]

you should not need it.  the notifications in the admin side should work fine for 2.0.7j

[DaggaTora]

Where are notifications in the admin side? I can't find them.

I still have the problem that Notify button redirects to cart. 

[seyi]

If you have customers that need notification, it will show up under the product status tab in product details.

For the notify redirect problem, you can temporarily disable sef or copy 2.0.6 router.php into 2.0.7 until the redirection issue is fixed.
