Wishlist 2.0 Support Thread

vadertech · December 2, 2003

Thx. I did need the </form>. Didn't fix the problem with it adding to shopping cart instead of wishlist. This seems to be a problem with the product_info.php page i would think.

vadertech · December 2, 2003

i got it working. I had the defines for table_wishlist=customer_wishlist at bottom of application_top.php. Of course, moving it to the top fixed the problem. Thx for the help.

Hi,

I seem to have this all installed and it looks ok, all except for the fact that when I click on "Add to Wishlist" it takes me to the wishlist page but doesn't add the product.

I have checked the </form> tags in my product_info.php, and then seem correct. I have two. Here is the section from product_info.php

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

The test site is atwww.foodlovers.co.nz/storetest

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
? ? ? ? ? ? ?<tr>
? ? ? ? ? ?<td class="main"><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, substr(tep_get_all_get_params(), 0, -1)); ?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('button_reviews.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS); ?></a>




</td>
? ? ? ? ? ?<td align="right" class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></form></td>
<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
? ? 
? 

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<td align="right" class="main">
<?php echo tep_draw_form('wishlist_quantity', tep_href_link(FILENAME_WISHLIST, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_wishlist')); ?> 
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) 
echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info_values['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_wishlist.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_ADD_WISHLIST); ?></form>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?</td>
? ? ? ? ? ? ?



? ? ? ? ?</tr>
? ? ? ?</table>

Try this:

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_wishlist.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_ADD_WISHLIST); ?></form>

There seems to be a lot of great feedback about this wishlist...Unfortunately it does not work for me at the moment...There seems to be some workarounds that are being posted and once it is working adequately is it going to be reposted in the contributions section - cos like a lot of people do here, i am waiting for the final result with little or no errors....

thanks again to the author

regards

My final problem is that the "Tell a Friend" is not displaying in wishlist.php. I did add a </form> at the bottom of "Tell a Friend" form but still doesn't display.

jwsfun · December 2, 2003

Vader...This is what I have and it works fine:

<!-- tell_a_friend //-->
<?php
 

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('tell_a_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_WISHLIST_SEND, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
                              'align' => 'center',
                              'text' => tep_draw_input_field('send_to', '', 'size="20"') . ' ' . tep_image_submit('button_tell_a_friend.gif', BOX_TEXT) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_ids', $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_ids']) . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br>' . BOX_TEXT);

 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
</form>
<!-- tell_a_friend_eof //-->

vadertech · December 2, 2003

hmm, i have exactly the same.

Jayman2 · December 2, 2003

Mine doesn't display either. I can't even find a wishlist_send.php file in my downloaded mod.

vadertech · December 2, 2003

Actually if you look at first step of readme.txt, wishlist_send is defined as wishlist_email.php.

define('FILENAME_WISHLIST_SEND', 'wishlist_email.php');

Unfortunately the wish list does not take into account product attributes, so when the product is added to the wishlist there are no attributes (sizes / colours etc) added with it.

So when you add something from the wishlist to your cart it cannot be added.

I will see what I can do about sorting this out.

also the wish list should definately be public, no point without that me thinks

defender39 · December 3, 2003

Part of having a wishlist is that a person has to register in order to return and see it again.

Wishlists are for return customers.

jwsfun · December 3, 2003

I have to agree with Jesse on this one, but...The point that Vadertech has made about implementing the "Amazon" ability (for a guest) to view someone's wishlist by entering their (your customer) email address is a good idea as well.

Of course, this wouldn't be possible unless the guest was already informed by the site user that they actually HAVE a wishlist on your site.

Maybe this could be a "work around" the "Send wishlist to a friend" function of this contribution, or as an alternative to it. I think that no matter how you do it, either way will help generate more customers, and that's something we all want, right?

All of this would have to be done through the database somehow, I'm sure, in addition to adding/creating new php or a new php file for this...But how Amazon enables this feature is beyond my ability to emulate. :lol:

December 3, 2003

One way would be to code up a "Lookup Wishlist by email address". Probably not too complicated of a database query, though that's easy to say . . .

I am theorizing that the "tell a friend" is currently running only on MS1 shops. I'm running MS2, and have made some progress (at least the dialog shows up to email it) by moving the  section to just ABOVE the lines:

<?php

if ($wishlist_numrows > 0 && (PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '2' || PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '3')) {

?>

I don't know what this line does, but it seems to me that this code was not allowing the tell_a_friend section to ever execute.

So, now, after moving it, I have the following:

. . .

<?php

if ((($row / 2) == floor($row / 2))) {

?>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<?php

}

?>

<?php

}

?>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('tell_a_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_WISHLIST_SEND, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

'align' => 'center',

'text' => tep_draw_input_field('send_to', '', 'size="20"') . ' ' . tep_image_submit('button_tell_a_friend.gif', BOX_TEXT) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_ids', $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_ids']) . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br>' . BOX_TEXT);

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?> </form>

<?php

if ($wishlist_numrows > 0 && (PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '2' || PREV_NEXT_BAR_LOCATION == '3')) {

?>

. . .

I'm not sure that it's actually sending the emails, though.

Jeff -- will you please post your wishlist_email.php? I did a "view source" on your page, and one on mine, and they were different --

Mine:

Yours: td><form name="email_friend" action="http://www.videogamedeals.com/wishlist_email.php/action/process/products_id/" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="products_name" value=""><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

I'm trying to make mine like yours right now . . .

Hi,

Thanks for your help, it is now working. For anyone still struggling with it, here is the code from my product_info.php:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
             <tr>
           <td class="main"><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, substr(tep_get_all_get_params(), 0, -1)); ?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('button_reviews.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS); ?></a>




</td>
           <td align="right" class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></form></td>
<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
<!-- wishlist mod added 02/12/03 -->         
  

               <td align="right" class="main">
<?php
echo tep_draw_form('wishlist_quantity', tep_href_link(FILENAME_WISHLIST, tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_wishlist')); ?> 
               
<?php 
if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) 
echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_wishlist.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_ADD_WISHLIST); ?>
               
                
               </td> </form>
             

<!-- end wishlist mod added 02/12/03 -->


         </tr>
       </table>

Only problem I'm having now is that the email is plain text, and all on one line (no carriage returns), but I'll see if I can do anything with that!

December 3, 2003

Thanks, Claire!

Does anyone have this *completely* working on MS2? I (and a few others, from the posts here) seem to be able to get all working _except_ for the email. It doesn't email out a thing.

I'm still trying . . .

-jared

December 3, 2003

sorry -- my request for posting personal source to wishlist_email.php was not intended for Jeff, but defender39 (Jesse), who has graciously allowed us to see "how it's supposed to work" with a test account on his site.

The email from here indeed works, but when I "view source" on the web page that's supposed to send the email, my server differs from the working server.

I'm trying to figure out how to massage the .php to get mine to be the same "view source" as Jesse's, but I'm not sure if that'll work exactly either.

Jesse / Jeff - if either of you can post your wishlist_email.php, I'm sure that more than just me would appreciate it.

Part of having a wishlist is that a person has to register in order to return and see it again.

Wishlists are for return customers.

I disagree. Amazon isn't making any money from me registering or viewing the wishlist. It makes money from me purchasing items from the wishlist. The wishlist should be a teaser to get the customer to spend money. If the wishlist is only for a "registered person", why not make all the products only viewable to registered customers. I wouldn't want my customers to have to register just to view products nor should they have to register to view a wishlist. A wishlist is a marketing tool just like New Products, Featured Products and Specials. These are all added to not just attract "registered" customers, but make money.

vadertech · December 3, 2003

I also want to add that it is a great mod for what it does. I am only offering suggestions.

December 3, 2003

Hi,

After playing around with the email a bit, I realised it actually sends HTML, so I used <br> tags to space things out correctly.

Has anyone had any success with making the links clickable in the email?

Claire

jwsfun · December 3, 2003

Claire,

I had to do the very same thing with all the <br>'s...The contribution was written to send the links as text and not HTML...Maybe some php wizard here can make it happen? ;)

December 4, 2003

Of all those who have this mod completely working, are any on MS2?

I just can't seem to get the emails to send, nor see any reason why they aren't sending . . .

Thanks!

December 4, 2003

Never mind. Mine has probably been working all along, it seems. For some reason, my server is not sending email to a particular domain -- other domains work fine. So, when I tried to send to other domains, it worked just like a charm!
