I have try the back in stock however i found that too dificult to modify.
However, i have found the direct product equiry form at xcartmods.co.uk,
and modify a little bit.
usefull if you have a new Comming Soon category:
and when product is out of stock,
the equiry form will appear, ask only for name and email. and it will send a
email to your specify email address.
When stock is back in stock, use email application such as Outlook to send email to those who wants the product.
download the enquiry form form here:
http://www.xcartmods.co.uk/x-cart-direct-product-enquiry-form-v4x-x-cart-mods-pr-29.html
edit equire.php, add the name of your database, username and password.
change the content of equire.tpl. delete the message field and phone field
