Wishlist for 1.3.5 - Yes or No?

**Joelle** · 15 Sep 2006, 10:45 PM

Hi there!

I'm desperately searching for an e-commerce platform that will do all the things my client asks: gift certificates (standard!), gift wrap option (I think this is a unicorn, I swear) and the most important: wish list.

I've decided I like ZenCart for the PHP and CSS factors and have torn these forums following link after link on a wild goose chase for a wishlist module that works with the latest version.

Is this a Unicorn, too? I would think that a wishlist would be a standard feature now in modern e-commerce software.

Can someone give me an answer, definitively: does a wishlist module exist for ZenCart 1.3.5? And more importantly, does it work? If not, can you recommend a product that does include this feature?

I beseech you. Someone. Anyone. :) thank you!

Gift Certificates we got ...

Gift wrap ... I have written custom code for this in the past but have not perfected it well enough to add to Zen Cart at this time ...

WishList is on the list ...

There is, however, an add-on for that ... that will differ from what we will be adding in a future release but it may satisty your needs ...

I found one add-on and from the literature I've found it's not up to date for 1.3.5.

Does anyone know when this wishlist feature will be added to Zen Cart? I've seen threads that are quite old that say "it's coming in a future release". If it will be soon, then I may go ahead and use ZenCart, but the only add-on I've found is this one.

I've opened it up, but trying to figure out what i'm supposed to do with it makes me feel like I'm reading Chinese and hey, I don't know Chinese.

So. That's where I'm at with it.

What's this gift wrap you speak of? :)

I have been working on a giftwrap to handle various methods and needs ...

It is far from complete as I have no current customization projects needing it and have been working on other things ...

For some of these things that you need asap you could post in the Commercial Help wanted and see what is out there ... or wait until they get built into Zen Cart ...

Thanks for this info :) I too had asked about a gift wrapping option (or added options on the check out page) so its nice to know it is being worked on :)

I am running ZC 1.3.0.1 and am looking forward to an updated wish list option too :)

thanks for the help and info!

mooncavecrystals ... strongly recommend upgrading to v1.3.5 ... there are an awful lot of bugfixes and security fixes that you are missing out on ...

Ajeh,
I am scared :) It appears I did not set up my_template folders correctly and fear I will lose all of my hard work (this css stuff is NOT my thang). The web dude which did this for me is away and there looks like there may be a substantial amount of coding to do which I am sooooooo not doing :)

I want to upgrade, but I just learned the basics like last week? ahahhaha
really, i am scared :)

Do a search on /new_shop

Should find a lot of examples on how to set up a test upgrade to walk through this ...

I had been to that link before and couldn't find any information. Its just a link that sends you to a thread with another link in it, that doesn't tell you anything else either! It just gives you more links.

Honestly, I'm not a big backend programmer and I just wish things were explained a little more clearly and not just assumed that I know what to put where, you know? Or given a link to a link to a link.
