* Added compatibility with "Quick Stock Update from the Product Listing Page" addon: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4812

See included text file for how to merge the two addons...

* Missed a multi-lingual reference in the email subject, changed catalog/admin/includes/languages/xxxxxxxxxx/categories.php accordingly.
* Updated the addon to work properly when stock is from "out of stock" to "in stock" and not to include stock increases when stock is already greater than 0 (THANKS to ggbig)
* Updated the instructions to include the option to delete or not delete customer email notifications from the database after the email is sent (added step 2b and 3a/b/c/d)

use this code to stop the email notification of a stokc update, "IF" the current qty is above zero. for example if the stock was at zero and it was updated to 3, customer would recieve an email, if the qty was at 3 and updated to 7 no email will be sent. Task taken from the "need help with" section. Thanks for a great addon :)

Or you can do it this way and it will select whether you have send HTML emails enabled.

// add the message to the object
if (EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {
$mimemessage->add_html($message);
} else {
$mimemessage->add_text($message);
}
$mimemessage->build_message();

No file attached just alternative for previous post.

You update to the above had one problem I ran into.....

Change:

$mimemessage->add_text

to:

$mimemessage->add_html

and the links are now clickable in emails...

_______________________________

What's the new?
I have put in file txt, the instructions of where to place the code which it did be in the first contribution and the other 2 contributions not included .
Also I have cleaned the code in the query for oscommerce default.
Sorry for my english.

Great MOD by Joshua Nyberg and great updated by Insomniac

- Cleaned some specific querys for Insomniac shop

Great MOD by Joshua Nyberg ... I just took it and cleaned it up ... more presentable and more info query possibilities.

- Added clickable links to Store and the Product in the notification email.

- Added the Product Model beside the Product Name.

- Added Customers first and last name to email body.

With some minor tweaking you can pull a lot more info to put in the email notification. I think this is one of those great MODS. Simple yet usefull.

Will automatically notify customers when items come into stock. Once they do, it will delete them from the product_notifications table, so as not to constantly tell them whenever you add stock.

I hope OSCommerce will integrate this in the future, as it's invaluable for merchants! About 1/3 of my customers are people who are just waiting to be notified when I have something in stock!
