Hi,

It is my understanding that there were to be enhancements to the wishlist functionality...

My question is, does the new release of HikaShop support a wishlist for a non-registered user? I expect the answer is no, but I just wanted to confirm.

I would like to be able to have one just for the session, or perhaps for that computer via a cookie, etc. Any ideas how there might be a workaround are also appreciated.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi,

The answer is still no. I actually don't see any benefit to allowing for that.
If you want a wishlist which lasts only for the user session, then why not use the cart for that ?

Hi,

Would it be possible show the whishlist button, when pressed and not logged in the suer gets directed to a login page? What might be problematic is that once logged in the item should be added to the wishlist and the customer redirected back to the product page where they pressed to add it?

Thanks!

Hi,

It is possible to display the "add to wishlist" button when the user is not logged.
But for the moment it just display a message telling that the user need to log-in.

In the file "components/com_hikashop/controllers/product.php" you can see to modify the code after In order to redirect the user to the login page with as parameter a link to the previous page (so when the user will log-in, he will be redirected to the page he was before).
It is also possible to place a link to add the product to the wishlist ; using an "update cart" link.. But it will require some development.

Regards,
