WishList v0.4 -- v1.3.7 compatible
have included some pretty good feedback from a customer after I installed the wishlist.....feel free to offer code enhancements :-)
PRIORITY
I find that people usually think of "Priority 1" as being the highest priority, whereas on the wish list, 1 is the (almost) lowest priority and 4 is the highest priority. Having the explanations (Love to have, Must have etc) next to the numbers makes this clearer in the input page, but in the version of the wish list that can be viewed by others, only the number is displayed, not the explanation. It seems to be that this could well result in gift givers thinking that low priority items are actually the most wanted ones - the opposite effect to that intended!
DELETING ITEMS
I have had some trouble deleting items from a non-default wish list. When I click the delete icon, I am taken back to my default wish list, and the item I was trying to delete remains in the non-default wish list. The only way around this I found was to create a third wish list called "things I don't want", move the unwanted items into that, and then delete that whole list.
COMMENTS FIELD
It would be great to have a bigger box to input comments for each item on the input page - maybe 3 lines / enough for a short paragraph. There was one item for which I wanted to enter a longer explanation, but it felt awkward to do so in the small comments box.
DUPLICATING ITEMS
It seems that it is impossible to have the same item on more than one wish list. I discovered this as I had forgotten that a particular bead was in my non-default wish list (my "Vague Possibilities" list) and the next time I saw it on the website I tried to click "add to wishlist". No error message occurred, but the item simply failed to appear in my default wishlist where I expected it to be. After several attempts (and, I admit, a restart), I worked out what the problem must be and was able to add the item to my default wish list after removing it from my other one. I would allow items to be duplicated between lists for two reasons: a) There may be occasions on which a customer wants to put an item on more than one list (e.g. Their "Master list" and a temporary "Things you might want to give me for valentines day darling" list). b) Other forgetful customers like myself might be mystified as to why their attempts to "add to wish list" aren't working!
