Default Price change notification

This addon allow users (guest and login) to be notified when price are changed for desired product. Sorry for poor explains, but english is not my native language. This is a fork of stock notify made it by funkydunk and other contributors, i just made necesary changes to be used for price notify instead of stock notify. This is for 4.0.18 version heavely modified, should work also with fresh instalation and maybe with other 4x version.

Known problems (hope somebody will solve this): for login users period is hardcoded and second: price value must be changed at least with 1 dollar, euro, lei etc. it's not working just for decimal price changes

) ENGINE=InnoDB;

INSERT INTO xcart_modules VALUES (3,'price_notify','Allows registered users to ask to be notified when a price is change for specified product','Y');


add this definitions to your language (some of them are already added, you better check out first):
Quote:
eml_price_notification - the following product have lower price and can be ordered by accesing link below

eml_please_click_link - Please click this link to see new price for this product

lbl_price_notify_button - Notify me when price changed

txt_added_price_notify - Your notification has been recorded

lbl_price_notify - Price change notification
//added on 08.07.2006

add new email definition:

eml_last_notification = We would like to inform you that we have new price for this product but requested period for price change notification is over.
To protect your privacy we remove your e-mail from our database. If you still want to receive notifications from us about this product price please follow this link below, add your email address and select desired period for notification.


see examples here (it's applied to any product), click on this text below price: Anunta-ma cand scade pretul

I'm sorry but i don't understand your question.

If the question is for how many days i check it if this module send e-mails to peoples when price was changed the answer is one day, i just made it few days ago...

Small errors in include/product_modify.php:
add
}
before this
// end of code added by mallromania for notify when price is lower

replace:
$newprice= func_query_first("SELECT * FROM ``xcart_price_notify` WHERE productid = '$productid'");

with

$newprice= func_query_first("SELECT * FROM `xcart_price_notify` WHERE productid = '$productid'"); //remove double sign ` from table name

Default Re: Price change notification

You need to add another label for line 10 in the modules.price_notify/pricenotify.tpl

The label is:
lbl_send_your_email - Please enter your e-mail in the box provided to be notified of any price changes

You also need to change line 19 from <TD class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_send_price_your_email }:</TD> to <TD class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_send_your_email}:</TD>

You forgot to add this to the labels, otherwise you will get a smarty error.

Also the check_options.tpl is wrong at line 143, you have put var link1 = "<a href='price_notify.php?productid={$product.product id}&price=$product.taxed_price&productcode="; and it should be var link1 = "<a href='price_notify.php?productid={$product.product id}&price=$product.taxed_price&productcode=";

No space between the product and the id, you have {$product.product id} and it should be {$product.productid}
