Favorites Bug?

2008-06-03T08:22:29-08:00

On a golf site I’m setting up, I’m allowing members to save courses as favorites. I already had the courses in the database before implementing the favorites module. After the putting the favorites module in place, everything worked like a charm.

Here is the code I’m using on the favorites page:

{if logged_in}
 <h1>{if screen_name != ""}{screen_name}'s{if:else}{username}'s{/if} Favorite Courses</h1>
 {exp:favorites:entries weblog="courses"}
  {if no_results}
  <p>You haven't saved any courses as favorites. To save a course as a favorite, visit the <a href="/courses" title="Courses">courses</a>
section (or search for a course in in the sidebar to your right), search for your favorite courses, and save them as favorites on the course details page.</p>
  {/if}

  <ul class="favoritesCourses clearfix">
   <li><a href="{title_permalink="courses/details"}">{title}</a> <span>{embed="members/.favoritesstars" entryid="{entry_id}"}</span></li>
  </ul>

  {if count == 1}
  <p class="small">{exp:user:is_mine member_id="{segment_3}"}{if mine}<em>Note: To remove a course from your favorites, click on the
name and then click "remove from favorites."</em>{/if}{/exp:user:is_mine}</p>
  {/if}
  {/exp:favorites:entries}
{/if}

Yesterday, I had to add another course into the database. I noticed today that after adding the course to the database, it shows up at the top of the favorites page even when it’s not saved as a favorite. I’ve noticed that it shows up and stays there regardless of if it’s been saved or not only when I’m logged in (as Admin). If I log in under the test account I’ve created, the new course doesn’t show up at the top of the favorites list regardless of if it’s been saved or not… it does just the opposite, it NEVER shows up even when you save it as a favorite. Another thing that seems funny is that on the new course page itself, even when it’s not been saved or when it’s been saved more than once, the text output always reads “saved as a favorite 1 time” and doesn’t change.

What would be the first course of action here to figuring this problem out? I’m running Favorites 2.1.4. Should I just delete the new entry and try to recreate it and see what happens?

Is it possible to allow Favorites Module to be used by Guests?

2008-07-07T03:37:10-08:00

Hi there,

I’ve just bought the Favorites module to allow visitors to pick their favorite events on my website.

I’ve noticed though that the module requires users to be logged in before they can use this feature.

Is it possible to allow this module to be used by Guests too? i.e. with a simple hack or changing a configuration option somewhere? I realise that this wouldn’t allow people to save them for later, but in my case, I only want people to be able to save a list of events to print out there and then whilst they’re on the website.

Thanks for any advice on this,

Workflow for Favorites Module During Login - Return URL Needed?

2008-07-09T05:25:54-08:00

Hi there,

I wonder if someone could help me out with the workflow of the Favorites (sic ) module please?

I have a website with a directory of events, and I want users to save their Favorite events.

On each event page, there’s a link that says ‘Add to Favorites’

When a user clicks this links and they are not logged in, they are prompted to enter their username and password.

But the login form doens’t continue the process of adding the event to the Favorites list - instead, it takes the user to the Favorites list and whatever was in that list (i.e. not the even they have just tried to add).

Is there any parameters/tags or other code I should be using to get the login form to add the Event at the same time as logging in? I was thinking maybe something to do with the return URL for the login form or something but I’m a bit lost for ideas on what code I can use to get this URL?

Thanks for any advice,

Ste

Who has saved my entries as favorites?

2008-07-08T21:36:29-08:00

Per the subject, is there a way to do this with Favorites? I’d like for members to be able to see what other members have saved their entries as faves.

Any ideas on how I can allow members to add notes, excerpts or details regarding every item they add as a favorite?

2008-07-07T22:05:35-08:00

Hello,

First off.. I just want to say this is a great module. I haven’t taken the time to look into everything yet or really play around with it.. But I was wondering if any creative minds here can be of service to this inquiry. =)

Let’s say I have this website that allows people to store items into their profile. Is their some possible way I can allow a unique excerpt or something that is stored with each save? I don’t know how I’d do this.. Somehow pull the ID of the item they saved or something and make some type of custom form? Would I be using something like the freeform module to do this and use the ID of saved favorite as one of the fields or something? Does Favorites use its own table or something to store data?

To be more specific, let’s say I have this toy catalog site that allows people to save their favorite entries into their post. I want a field that would allow them to store a little note to say what they think of the toy, and also specify if they own it or not.

Hopefully that clears things up. Any ideas is appreciated.

Cheers,
Danny

Favorites in Reverse? Exclude content.

2008-07-04T14:32:33-08:00

Hi.

I’m wanting to have users tell what content “not” to show on the site. Is there a way of make Favorites work in reverse?

Using favorites as a digg like system

2008-06-15T16:39:29-08:00

So it seems that favorites should be able to work like Digg.

I want to have a display of all my regular web log entires.
To the left I want a little vote button and above that, a total number of votes.

Since I can’t find any examples of Favorites in action, I can’t tell if this is possible. And it is not clear to me from the documentation.

I will need to use some kind of AJAX (jquery?) so that the votes update in real time without a page reload so any example of that would be helpful as well.

Can favorites emulate digg? Does someone have an example page to look at and perhaps even code samples of this? I’ve looked at several of the posts in this forum mentioning ajax, but it also appears that all the sample links are dead

Thanks

Building up favourites then email via Freeform

2008-06-09T18:06:33-08:00

Hi all,

Is it possible to email the contents of an array holding favourites into Freeform for a multi product enquiry?

I had a look around but nothing has been asked by the look of things.

Favorite Entries for Multiple Weblogs

2008-05-31T22:09:06-08:00

Hey all,

Hope you can help with this.

I’m setting up a page with the favorite entries tag.

On my blog however, I have multiple weblogs and I’m trying to display all of the “favorited” entries on a single list.

How can I have it list all of the favorited entries from multiple weblogs? I’m having issues having it link out correctly on the list page of all favorite entries.

Thanks.
