Save For Later Support Thread

If your installation references a field called products_group_a_price, you're not using the built-in Zen Cart Group Pricing, you're using some sort of mod.

This mod would have to be updated to work with Save for Later.

In a new install of Zen Cart 1.5.5 with Save for Later, and a customer configured for Zen Cart Group Pricing, this problem does not occur.

The client is using Group Pricing (per Item) https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154

If you look at my previous reply, you will see how I modified the function in sfl_functions.php to look up the group for the logged in user, and apply the correct group pricing.
As this is a mod to make SFL work with another mod, if you wish to incorporate the changes, maybe have it check for existence of those fields before allowing the additional code to run?

Hi Scott,

I have a question regarding the way this module functions.
If a user logs in and has items 'saved for later', they can't add them to cart from the saved for later list unless they first add another item to cart.
I've tested this myself, and indeed, the shopping cart page simply reloads without moving the saved for later item.

I am guessing it's related to there being no active cart session.
Attempting to output some test data suggests that function actionAddProduct isn't even being called when the cart is in an empty state.

Can you give me some tips on how to resolve this issue?

interesting - hadn't considered that use case. I'll look at it.

Just tested - this works fine if you use my files and responsive classic. One thing is you'll need to tweak the links to the shopping cart page which might check to see if there's anything in the cart before they appear.

Save for Later has just been updated for PHP 7.3. Thanks to Pro-Webs for the tip about an issue!

Hello, just reporting the issue. Plugin is not functioning the way you could expect. Latest zen cart v1.5.6c. Whenever I try to edit the cart I get this message in response. The item remains in the cart though, you can also add another one, but checking the cart content you getting the same massage.

Also it is extremely difficult to merge my active template's file tpl_shopping_cart_default.php with correspondent file in plugin's file-set. So I'm presenting the basic responsive classic's version.

Yep, Save for Later needs some more work for 1.5.6. I thought it was done but I can see a couple of issues.

Should be fixed now.

Wow, thank you, could not expect such a quick response to the issue actually both response and fix. Appreciate. Looking forward to imply the one on practice it seems rather important feature to have on website.

Yeah, fix is working. Tested on responsive classic. Thank you.:thumbsup:

Good plugin. Everything seems working smooth.

But it seems also, there is some usability issue there:

If I have some 'Saved For Later' products, but my shopping cart is empty (I've placed an order or simply emptied the cart and leaved 'cart'-page), how can see the list of 'Saved For Later' products? (or even - how can I realize I have some products in this list?)

My suggestion: by emptying the cart the 'Saved for later' goods must be automatically moved back to shopping cart (NOTIFIER_CART_RESET_END can be used ??)

As noted on the prior page of posts, the shopping cart page is displayed with the save for later items in the responsive classic template.
Study the differences between responsive classic and your template to see why yours doesn't do this.

As for moving the products to the cart upon emptying the cart - if you look at other carts that implement Save for Later type functionality, you'll find they don't do this. Most users would find it both astonishing and annoying.

Thank you for your reply. And sorry, probably my explanations were not clear enough.

I try to test your addon on pure Zen Cart 156c, using Responsive Classic template by default.

Once again (for example): if I move all goods into the 'Saved For Later' list (no more products in 'cart') and then leave 'cart'-page - how can I realize, there still are some products in 'Saved For Later' list ?? (the 'cart'-sidebox is not being displayed, as there are no products in the main cart)

This is the design intent. Look at how Amazon does it.
If you really want to customize it to work the way you think it should work, go for it- but I wouldn't recommend it.

Let me explain. I have just realize myself how it works on Amazon site. Say a week later when you return to the site you have shopped in, provided you've logged in, and knowing that you cart is empty there, see your cart indicator is "0" items. Despite this obvious fact you continue to your empty cart to see how it looks and voila! you got there "saved for later" items list. Bear in mind the feature is completely different to "wish list".

This module throws an error if using PHP 7.2 or above due to the each() function being deprecated.
Error log shows
PHP Deprecated: The each() function is deprecated. This message will be suppressed on further calls in /Users/sp/Developer/zc157/includes/functions/extra_functions/sfl_functions.php on line 160.

Should have added the offending line to the post!

Line 160 is

while (list($products_id, ) = each($contents)) {

For anyone else wanting to use PHP version 7.2 and above, replace

line 160

while (list($products_id, ) = each($contents)) {
with
foreach(array_keys($contents) as $products_id) {

Yep, there are a bunch of those. I will update the module soon.
