How to

The module allows your clients to receive notifications about product availability. If the product amount left in a stock is less or equal to 0, then instead of a “Buy” button you’ll see a “Notify” button on your site.

The module can use product’s options (optionally turns on in a module setup). If the add-on is turned on:

• your site will show the product’s options even if the amount of options (may be optional products) is less or equal to 0

  

• when the options add-on is turned on, the module doesn’t use an amount of product left in a stock (Image 1) but uses the amount of product left in a stock with chosen options(Image2). If the amount of (product with) chosen options less or equal to 0 then instead of a “Buy” button you’ll see a “Notify” button on your site.
• the options add-on works only in the product page.

The module sends notifications if the requested product is available in a stock in following cases:

• By pressing the button “Save” in the product description (optionally);

  

• By pressing the button “Notify” from the requests list page;

  

• By cron (the link for setup is in the module)

  

Frontend examples

If the amount of product in a stock is 0 or there is no product with requested options, then the button “Buy” will be replaced with a “Notify” button. The notification request form will pop-up after clicking “Notify” button.

An email with the product information will be sent to the customer’s mail and the shop administrator’s mail after request form is filled. Also the information about request is stored in the admin part of the site: extensions-modules-”Notify about availability”-”list of requests” (Image 3) or on top bar of your shop in Opencart menu (Image 4)

Popular questions and answers

After installation of module, on product that is not in stock button didnt replaced :

• Check if the module is turned on. Option "Module status" in option of module
• Module mast be added to your layout with all products.You can do it in your admin page "Design-Layout"
• Check if everything is ok with option of module ID or Class of buttons "buy" for page of product or other pages.

  

• To get information about quantity of product, module via ocmod inserts on all pages in the block with the product an additional div with information about the quantity.

  Maybe you are using "not default" template and modifier could not make changes to the necessary files of your template. The modifier file is in the archive with the module - install.xml

After installing the module, the form call button appeared, but when clicked, the form itself does not appear:

• The block under the form of the module inserts using ocmod. It is necessary to check, it is possible that the modifier could not insert the necessary form into the file footer.tpl

I use the filter module and after its application the button is not replaced, although the product is not available.

• If the filter module loads products using ajax (this happens in 90% of cases), then you need to get the function getAvailConfig () after loading the goods; our module.

  For example, in the popular MegaFilterPro module, you need to go to its settings, then the "Settings / Settings" tab - "JavaScript", and add the line to the bottom of the form:

  MegaFilter.prototype.afterRender = function( htmlResponse, htmlContent, json ) {
  var self = this;
  getAvailConfig();
  };
