1818charlie ECT Moderator United Kingdom 1198 Posts	Posted - 04/14/2020 : 15:59:38 To show an item as notify when back in stock uncheck the Sell Button in the admin. The notify when back in stock is clickable which the shows a small popup box where customer can add their email address to be notified when the item is back in stock. As soon as the store owner checks the Sell Button box in the admin this automagically sends an email notifying the customer that the item is back in stock with a link to the product Steve Bolton, Lancashire, UK Remember - Any edits to the ectcart.css file will be overwritten by updater's.

Posted - 04/14/2020 : 19:26:27 Steve, thank you, I didn't fully read your instructions, that works perfectly for me and very simple. I like how the product shows up as Red in the admin product list also....thanks so much!!! Question: is there a way to make the text that says "notify me when back in stock" show in red text?

dano2 Ecommerce Template Expert USA 514 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 09:39:15 thanks Sinbad, does it matter where I place it in the style.css file? This is where I placed but but it doesn't seem to change the color to red yet. /* ~~ This the css file for the Responsive Design of Virtual Gadgets from Ecommerce Templates.

dano2 Ecommerce Template Expert USA 514 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 09:47:45 I did, and actually also cleared cache manually
Sinbad ECT Moderator USA 65937 Posts	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 10:27:53 Hi I don't see that in your style sheet this is what I'm seeing in ectstyle.css around line 518 just add the color to the class. div.notifystock{ float:left; width:100%; margin:4px 0px; } Winners never quit, quitters never win CSS and Responsive Designs User Manual for Ecommerce Templates
dano2 Ecommerce Template Expert USA 514 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 10:52:22 ok I added it to ectsyle.css see below. Does this look correct? still doesnt seem to work. Also does it need to be in the style.css folder as well? div.notifystock{ float:left; width:100%; margin:4px 0px; } div.notifyinstock{ color; #ff0000 !important; } Edited by - dano2 on 04/15/2020 11:20:05
1818charlie ECT Moderator United Kingdom 1198 Posts	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 14:45:14 Hi dano2 Change the semi-colon, highlighted in red below, to a colon : Change from div.notifyinstock{ color; #ff0000 !important; } to div.notifyinstock{ color: #ff0000 !important; } Steve Bolton, Lancashire, UK Remember - Any edits to the ectcart.css file will be overwritten by updater's.

dano2 Ecommerce Template Expert USA 514 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 15:25:32 thanks Steve, that worked but its highlighting the wrong text which is ok too :) What I wanted to highlight is just the text that says "Notify when back in stock" instead of the message text box that opens. Or can that be done? and also would we be able to do BOLD Red? trying to catch peoples eye:) Edited by - dano2 on 04/15/2020 15:30:07
1818charlie ECT Moderator United Kingdom 1198 Posts	Posted - 04/15/2020 : 16:23:32 Hi dano2 I have tried this and it's the only way I can get it to show the text in red, or whichever preferred colour you'd like. Add this line to your includes.php file. $xxNotBaS='<font color="red">Notify when back in stock</font>'; That line is from the vsadmin/inc/languagefile_en.php so when any updaters are applied that line will not be overwritten and the change stays in place after updating. Hopefully that solves yours issue The result is such https://v45.co.uk/ect/notify-back-in-stock-color.jpg Steve Bolton, Lancashire, UK Remember - Any edits to the ectcart.css file will be overwritten by updater's.
