This module extends the functionality of ShopSite by integrating a full featured wishlist / gift registry into ShopSite. Features include allowing your customers to create private or public lists, email the lists to friends, rank the products on the list, and have a checkout field that will automatically mark items as purchased in the wishlist.

This module is installed by default to the directory called wishlist, located off of your main www directory. Hence, the URL for accessing the module is:

http://www.your_domain.com/wishlist/

The aforementioned URL is what you would link to when creating a Wishlist / Gift Registry link on your website. This is where people can search existing wishlists, and/or manage their own.

The URL for the admin interface is:

http://www.your_domain.com/wishlist/admin/

The fields in this admin section will already be populated for you based off of our initial installation. You will want to check the configuration shown on this screen and update any necessary fields. Detailed instructions on configuring the admin section can be found at:


If your products all have unique SKUs, it is very easy to integrate this module with your product line. Put the following line of code at the end of the product description field located in your backoffice under: Products -> Edit Product Info:

<a href="/wishlist/listmanage.php/add/i_SKU_GOES_HERE">Add to Wishlist</a>

(replace SKU_GOES_HERE with the actual SKU of the product, or if you are using a custom product template, this can be replaced with the template tag [-- Product.SKU --] ), i.e.:

<a href="/wishlist/listmanage.php/add/i_[-- Product.SKU --]">Add to Wishlist</a>

If you prefer to use an image rather than the text 'Add to Wishlist', simply replace this text with your image call (e.g. 'Add to Wishlist' could become <img src="/media/NAME_OF_IMAGE" />).
