Cron / outofnotification plugin

Nicolas,

I have activated my cron (a while ago) and my out of stock notification plugin is enabled. I am getting those fancy cron status updates to my email address every hour, usually they say something like:

HikaShop zahájen v 04 Duben 2012 06:29
Products quantity checked

My problem is, I am not getting notified on which products are out of stock in that email. Where can I see a report of which products are out of stock for me at the moment?

Thanks,

Karol

Nicolas,

I have around 5000 products and there are some issues with what you're suggesting:

- "Unlimited" quantity is displayed before out of stock (zero quantity products)
- When I choose to display all products only first 500 are displayed and pagination don't work (displays only 100 / page)

Back to the plugin:

Maybe I just don't understand how it works. My settings for the plugin are:

Period = 86400 seconds (i.e. 1 day)
Stock limit = 0

My understanding is that once per day I should be getting report of products that are out of stock.

I've check my spam folder and no report there as well.

Maybe I've entered email address badly somewhere? Which email address it sends email to?

Thanks,

Karol

With regards to unlimited: I am not expecting unlimited stock to be reported by cron, that was not what I was saying (I was just explaining how your suggested work around don't work in my situation). I will double check my email configuration later tonight and will get back to you later this week.

There are multiple email adresses available there. Which one does it actually uses?

From documentation"

From Name : Default "From Name" used in all your emails.
You can modify this property for each email you write.
From Address : Default E-mail address used as "from" in all your emails.
You can modify this property for each email you write.
Reply-to Name : Default "Reply To Name" used in all your emails.
You can modify this property for each email by editing the email via our email edition interface available in all our commercial versions.
Reply-to Address : Default E-mail address used as "reply-to" in all your emails.
So, if your receivers click on "reply-to" when they read your e-mail, their response will be sent to this e-mail address.
You can modify this property for each email by editing the email via our email edition interface available in all our commercial versions.
Bounce Address : Any automatic response will be sent to this e-mail address.
Be careful! Some servers restrict the use of this parameter to a local e-mail account, so make sure you can still send emails after editing this parameter. This e-mail address will not be visible for your receivers. If it doesn't work after filling it, leave it empty.
If you are unsure, just leave it empty.
Payment notifications email address : When a payment notification is received from the payment plugins, you will receive an email to this address. Note that you can set several emails here separated by a comma.
Order creation notifications email address : When an order is created, you will receive an email to this address. Note that you can set several emails here separated by a comma, but you can also disable it by leaving it empty.

Ok, I've reviewed default email account for domain and I've found following emails (for every day since I've enabled notification plugin):

Any ideas why this is happening?
