Watching List Add-on for ZC?

[Donn]

[FONT="Tahoma"]I was hoping that there is a module that allows zen cart users to save items to a watching list, as is available on many top e-commerce web sites that most of us are probably familiar with.

So far I've not found anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

THANKUSOMUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've DLed it and I'll check it out. ( I have to look over all the mods again....I probably missed many other cool ones besides this one.)

I thought I was going to have to labor over trying come up with something like that.

I figured the easiest way, both to save time and because I am not so experienced with PHP, would be to examine the shopping cart code and just copy it, mostly. Change the variables, add a new table, and change the function of what the user could do with it...mostly just look at it. (Add a button 'Add to Watching'--much like add to cart--& a button 'View Watched Stuff'.) Etc.

The mod I just DLed permits sharing between users as well, according to the description. That's one step better!

I'm excited; can't wait to check it out.

Thanks again for the info.

Actually, that's the one I was looking for.

Well, I've set this up in a test, and it seems to work well.

Except....products selected for the WishList keep ending up in
the cart, somehow!

As the WishList uses its own table in the DB, how can this be happening?

I see there's an option to purchase right on the WishList page so I'm going to guess it's related to that function not working properly.

Otherwise, it's very cool.

Anyone with any info about this mod...it'd be helpful.

....products selected for the WishList keep ending up in
the cart, somehow.....

Also...sometimes when updating items in the list by adding a description or changing the item's priority, one or all of the items in the wishlist disappear.

Both issues seem to lie with the same page and associated files:

main_page=un_wishlist

I may try just removing the whole bottom portion of the page from the template to see if the first problem remains. Without the priority or comments, it would still be OK.

What do these issues suggest to someone familiar with MYSQL coding? What could have been done in the add-on to cause these issues?
