Save For Later Support Thread

Ok I have installed the mod and loving it ... I have the buttons to save in product info display and the cart. The only problem I can see here is how can I access what is saved in my cart without having to add a further product?

If your cart is empty but you have saved items I cannot see a way of displaying those saved items unless I add another to the cart .. then I get all the products in the cart and saved list where I can move them around.

Is it not possible to have a link where I can click on (say) "Saved Items" to get to the checkout?

That's a really good question. The short answer is that you'd have to update the shopping cart template to do this. I'll post instructions when I get a minute to update it.

Ok I have found a way to patch this:

1. In includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/header.php

add: define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_SAVED', 'Saved Products');

2. In includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

find: <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>

then add after:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_SAVED; ?></a></li>

Clicking on this link when logged in will take you to your shopping cart which may be empty or will display saved products.

3. Finally in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php

change:

define('TEXT_CART_EMPTY', 'Your download cart is empty.');

with

define('TEXT_CART_EMPTY', 'Your cart is empty.<br/><br />You have no saved products');

Save for Later has been updated for Zen Cart 1.5.5.

Hi

Do you have a link to any example websites where Save for Later is installed please?

I haven't installed it on any of my demo sites. You can see screenshots on the help page on my site: http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart_saveforlater.html

swguy:

This mod is aligned with Zen Cart 1.3.8; it has not been tested with (and is not recommended for) older versions.

If you like and profit from this mod (or indeed any of my contributions), donations are encouraged; PayPal to help at thatsoftwareguy dot com.

This is totally unrelated to this particular thread but I know you're the probably the one to ask!
Is there currently a module that allows a customer to be notified when it's time to reorder a product?

For example, customer buys product 1337, 31 days later the customer is notified that it's time to reorder product 1337.

Not AFAIK, but the best way to ask this question is on a new thread.

Tried that before the holidays but no reply sadly :(

Hi,

On the product page, is there any way to make the save for later input button a text link?

Thanks,

Eric

It's not a link - it's a submit button.

I just installed the plugin and I have items that require attributes to be set.

On some of these items, the price is adjusted based on the attribute selected by just adding to the base price, but in other cases the price is determined by the attribute and the total will be Zero until the attribute is set.

ZenCart normally will not allow you to go any further and not save the item to the cart in this invalid condition without these attributes.

"Save For Later" will go ahead and save these items in its table in a invalid condition. Is there a way to alter the code so "Save For Later" will not save an item, unless the item is in a valid state?

Thanks

You have to prevent the item from being added to your shopping cart in the first place. If it's in the cart, it can be saved for later. But once restored to the cart from save for later, the restrictions you are mentioning would be applied.

Hi Scott,

I've noticed that SFL button from the product page doesn't save the product if an item is out of stock. Is it possible to make it add the item to the Saved for Later list even when stock is 0?
I tested this on a vanilla 1.5.5f install with no other mods installed.

Thanks

You'd have to change the behavior of the shopping cart class to do this.

So SFL is following the ZC core rule that you can't add an out of stock item to the cart?

I tried setting Check Stock Level to false in admin as I thought that would make a difference, but it didn't. In fact, a product still displayed as Sold Out, so not entirely sure of the purpose of that setting!

Would the required changes be within

function actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters) {

of includes/classes/shopping_cart.php ?

Correct.

Ok, I'll look in that function.
It might be an idea for you to update your code to NOT display the SFL button on products where the stock is zero.
I wasn't even aware that it didn't work until someone pointed it out to me.
I saw the button, and assumed it was functional regardless of stock.

I have an issues with this mod.
If you use group pricing, when an item is moved into save for later, it doesn't display the correct price.
As an example, I have a product where products_price is 0.00, and products_group_a_price is 50.54. When the item is in the cart it correctly displays at £50.54, but when moved to SFL, it displays it as £0.00.

So it would seem that sfl_functions isn't aware of what group a logged in user is set to. Given that the sfl_functions file is pretty much a clone of pages/shopping_cart/header.php, I'm surprised this data isn't being passed through.

Is there any chance of a fix for this?

No worries, I looked at the shopping cart class to see how this was being managed, and made some changes to includes/functions/extra_functions/sfl_functions.php to resolve this issue.

The changes are all in function get_sfl_products()

replace the original function with this one

function get_sfl_products() {
global $db;

if($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $customer_group_query = "SELECT gp.group_name
