Save For Later Support Thread

[clriding]

Hi, I wandered if this ever got added to save for later, as being able to add the product from the product page and save for later, is much more efficient and user friendly for the customer, rather than adding it to shopping cart.

If so, what code do I add and where?

Kind regards

I'm loving this script, but I'm hoping you could help me with a feature request. I'd like to offer a "Save For Later" button on the product information page, so that if you're browsing a product, you can simply click "Save For Later" right there to add it.

I copied the code from the shopping cart page and inserted the following code onto the product page:

<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link('saveforlater', 'action=sfl_save_for_later&product_id=' . (int)$_GET['products_id']) . '">'?><?php echo zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SAVE_FOR_LATER_PRODUCT, BUTTON_SAVE_FOR_LATER_ALT) . '</a>'; ?>

However, when I click on the link, it takes me to the shopping cart page but no items are added to the cart.

The link that is being invoked looks to be the same format as what you display on the shopping cart page. For example, this is what I click on from the product info page when the button is clicked:

http://www.mydomain.com/store/index....oduct_id=15334

But it doesn't add anything to the shopping cart (unless that link is invoked from the actual shopping cart page, as is the original script).

Any ideas what I would have to to in order to allow this?

(Again, this is just shaving one extra step off the process for the customers. So instead of adding a product to the shopping cart FIRST and then having to Save it for later, we are trying to just have them Save it for later directly from the product info page.)

It's on my list but it hasn't been done yet. Bear in mind that one of the issues is that you wouldn't be able to use this for products with attributes (on the product info page), so it might not be as generally useful as you think.

Thanks for your reply, it's much appreciated.

Well I shall keep my eyes peeled and I don't have too many items with attributes anyway, so I think I would still benefit. Either way, I was able to install your plugin easily and I'm grateful for it, as it's still a really good feature to have. Thanks again.

I am doing final testing on the Save for Later from product info page feature that several users have requested. It should be ready soon.

Another amazing software guy contribution! This sounds awesome!

Save for Later 1.4 is now available.

I just downloaded it :) If our customers already have items in their save for later, is the sql going to drop all of that info?
