MyGiftList and Zen-cart

Anybody using MyGiftList.com for gift registry? I tried to use this but ran into a brick wall when it came to Affiliate 2 where you create "Add to MyGiftList" button. WIth over 1000 product items, this is not efficient for me. Does anyone have a quick way to add these buttons to their website?

Incidently, there has been talk about a mod for gift registry but no news in a while. Does anyone have anything else that they can recommend for gift registry?

They have a modified tpl_product_info_display.php file that will automatically add the button to every product. It's in the top nav when you are logged in...

They have instructions at http://www.mygiftlist.com/affiliates/affiliate_zen-cart.asp but the link takes you to the download page for Zen-cart at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=40&. Is it no longer available? Did you use it?

Hi,

I did use it and it is super-easy to install.

at http://www.mygiftlist.com/affiliates/affiliate_zen-cart.asp step 3 has the file for various versions of zen. Just download the appropriate file and read the instructions. The only modified file is the tpl_product_info_display.

Unfortunately, this solution will not work for me... I want people to stay on my site. I need a zen mod to do this. The "other cart" has one but unfortunately I don't have the skills to port the mod. I've posted an ad in the Commercial Help Wanted section if anyone is up to the task!

I actually contacted them last week to create the new ZC1.3.7 version which I am glad that they did. If you subscribe to level 3 which I think is still free, you get a code that you can put on your site so that customers login on your site and it works.

I followed the instructions from the readme file...you are right, it's as easy as inserted code they give you into a specific area of the tpl_product_info_display.php file. The only problem is, the file I have does not have the code:echo $display_button; How did you get around this? I have ZC1.3.7.

I can't even find the tpl_product_info_display.php file so I can add this registry!

I am using a custom template (someone else designed and created my store) and I don't see this file anywhere. Would someone help me out? I am always running into a "brick wall" when it comes to zen cart...I have no idea what i'm doing most of the time. :shocking:

If your designer used the override system, and she did NOT edit tpl_product_info_display.php, then it would NOT be found in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates folder.

Check and see if you can find it in:
includes/templates/temlate_default/templates

Then once you make changes, make sure to save your changed copy in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates, leaving the template_default unchanged.

Cool mod.
