Save For Later Support Thread

[MojaveLampworkBeads]

I'm using template Premium 7A and Zen Cart 1.3.8a - My web address is www.mojavelampwork.net

I'm having problems understanding the upload process of SFL.

Once I've unzipped the folder do I upload the entire folder inside of the unzipped folder to the root directory of my site, or the contents inside of the folder? Am I supposed to overwrite the includes folder in my root directory, with the includes folder from SFL?

I appologize for the lame questions, I'm just a bit confused by the instructions for SFL

Thank you for your help.

Save for Later is a tricky mod to install, but the general directions are the same as for any other mod.

Here's my "beginner's guide:"

With SFL, I recommend starting with my template files, then back porting your changes. This way you can be sure that the feature works.

If you have trouble, you can get someone on the Commercial Help Wanted forum to walk you through the install or do it for you.

SWGuy, you are a total genius! I always know if I see your name on something, that it will work with very few issues. Have you ever considered creating a shopping list or wish list mod? Ikea's site has a cool feature that allows you to email the shopping list to any address. I've been waiting for 2 years for someone to create a wishlist that doesn't link to a 3rd party service... but being able to email your shopping list is almost as good. would this be difficult to impliment?

LOL very kind of you. Actually, a guided e-commerce application has been on my drawing board for some time.

I had the Save for Later add on installed and loved it but when I installed the Free Gift - Dangling Carrot add on the Save for Later went away

I looked through the files for both addons and the Free Gift add on modified the includes/templates/freetemplate2/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php file (which got rid of the Save for latter modified version). I'm really php illiterate (but I can copy and paste) I've been trying to combine the 2 tpl_shopping_cart_default.php files but with no luck. Could someone help me with this?

Thanks for such a fabulous mod!

If anyone has a sec, I have a non-important issue I'm hoping to get help with. (Sorry - I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the functions work.)

I added SFL to the "my account" page but am having trouble modifying the redirect to suit my situation.

In includes/functions/extra-functions/sfl_functions.php, I tried adding an if statement to the redirect of the actionRemoveProduct function so it now reads:

// from actionRemoveProduct in shopping cart class
  function actionRemoveProduct($parameters) {
    if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
      $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
      zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
    }
    if (isset($_GET['product_id']) && zen_not_null($_GET['product_id'])) 
        remove($_GET['product_id']);
   if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'shopping_cart') {
     zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'));
}else{
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));
  }
} 

but it redirects to the account page regardless of where the item is deleted from. And if I switch the if statement, it always redirects back to the shopping cart.

I'm (slowly) learning php and would appreciate any assistance (with an explanation as to why it's ignoring the first part of the if statement if possible). Thanks in advance!

Save For Later has been upgraded to work with Zen Cart 1.5.0. No other functional changes were added in update 1.2.

Just curious - has anyone used this mod with COWOA?

I have a few customers complaining about items not staying in their cart, I believe it is that they end up with a "sessions time out" and think that maybe SFL would be a great solution.

Thanks for the response!

Bear in mind that you need an account (and need to be logged in) to use Save for Later.

[stxmona]

Yep - knew that the person needed an account and about 75% of the customers have them...but have those fly by customers that don't want to go through the trouble of registering so that is why COWOA is installed.

I just wanted to know if anyone had COWOA installed and uses SFL before installing the mod.

Thanks
