Save For Later Support Thread

Scott - one quick question and then I will leave you in peace.

Why is it necessary to be logged in to save for later - a customer can add to cart without being logged in - as a shopper I would be confused.

cheers, Mike

Just like it's necessary to be logged in to have a persistent cart. Things are keyed by customer id.

Got this installed on a fresh Zen Cart v1.5.4, having made the changes suggested in the readme to get the button to display on the product_info page.

The thing is, when the "Save for Later" button is clicked, the product is added to the cart not to the save-for-later list. Any suggestions as to where to start looking for the correction?

Found it; the readme instructions are close:

b) In includes/main_cart_actions.php, change the block 

  case 'add_product' :
  $_SESSION['cart']->actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters);
  break;

to

  case 'add_product' :
  if (isset($_POST['sfl'])) {
     actionSaveForLaterFromProductPage($goto, $parameters); 
  } else {
     $_SESSION['cart']->actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters);
  } 
  break;

but should be:

b) In includes/main_cart_actions.php, change the block 

  case 'add_product' :
  $_SESSION['cart']->actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters);
  break;

to

  case 'add_product' :
  if (isset($_POST['sfl_x'])) {
     actionSaveForLaterFromProductPage($goto, $parameters); 
  } else {
     $_SESSION['cart']->actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters);
  } 
  break;

There's definitely a bug in the instructions, but I don't think that's it - that doesn't seem to work either.

OK got it. The $goto change in includes/classes/shopping_cart.php needs to be done for both zen_redirect calls. Posting an update shortly.

Save For Later 1.4.1 was just released with corrected instructions for installing Save for Later on your product info pages.
