    I think I've said it before, but this addon is huge game changer and time saver, so thank you @Ati for your work! I recently also installed the Release Date for New Items script and that's a big help, too! It doesn't work on custom categories like The PC for a day list (https://www.daz3d.com/temporary-pc-for-you), but that's OK, at least the date is now showing on the product pages.

    The idea behind that script is to find out when an item will lose its "new" status. So on category pages, the date is only shown for items marked as "new."

    Got ya. Thanks for the clarification!

    Lately, the "View these artists together" link only brings in the first artist's products, as it is listing that artist after "daz3d.com/" and then the remaining vendors get filtered out.

    I continue to love this plug-in that makes our lives os much better - thank you.

    In suggestions/requests - I don't kow if this is possible, or how often it's been asked for, or if it's already in the works, but I think I'd very probably pay ten or twenty dollars, cash up front, for there to be a "hide" button on the main listings / results page, so you don't have to click through to hide something...

    replace the red bolded name with shop

    There is one very important caveat to that - store names all get set to lowercase, so proper cased names won't be included because the shop filter uses exact casing. Additionally, there are a very few stores whose names are slightly different than what the addon link generates; they don't get included, either.

    What I like to do is go to my wishlist, hide PC+ items, and sort by % off. This puts all items that are on sale at the top. This may include some false positives, as they may be part of another sale, but you'll see that from the price in the cart (not getting the extra discount).

    Sorry, I know that I have mentioned this before in this thread but I am no closer to solving the problem. When I use the DAZ Deals add-on in any browser (Edge, Chrome, Opera or Firefox) a couple of things don't work for me.

    Firstly the back button does not return me to the place I was before viewing a product selected from the browser page. I am returned to the very beginning and any filters I had set (such as Sort By % Off) are reset to default.

    Secondly, the add-on seems to think I am still a member of PC+ and shows me the red graph for price history which is, of course, the PC price.

    I have been through all the set-up options over and over but can't see anything that might be causing these problems. I have re-requested the verification code and re-entered it. No getting past this problem other than deleting the add-on which fixes the first problem described above (the other is not available without the add-on).

    When you are a PC+ member, only one line is shown in the graph, the PC+ price in blue. If you are not a PC+ member, then you see a red bar as well, in that case the graph shows both the PC+ price, and the non-PC+ price (which may overlap, in which case only one line can be seen).

    That's the minor issue though (though clearly not an issue really). The major problem is the back-key.

    How browsers handle back keys, are unfortunately out of our hands. They use a cached version of the page to go back to, which may or may not show your exact last state. My advice is to try to avoid using back keys in general. When you have a selection filtered to your liking, you can ctrl+click to open the new page in a new tab. Then from that tab, instead of the back key, you can use ctrl+w to close the tab, and you'll be immediately taken back to your original page with your original settings, selections, and page position.

    OK, so I gather from what you say that I'm not the only one having this problem. However, to assert that it is the fault of the browser when the back-key works perfectly well in every other web site I visit is a little hard to swallow. So your "may or may not" is only (and consistently) "not" when using this add-on and it does not happen when the add-on is removed (using the very same browser). I do like the features of the add-on so will persist with using it and appreciate the work that has gone into it but there is a problem.

    The implementation of how the back button works, may vary from browser to browser. Most web pages give you the result based on server events. Our addon works after it has received the web page, and does its magic on the client side (in your browser). Some web browsers may remember and return to this altered state, others may only return to the state that they originally received (before the addon features kicked in). Also, depending on the browser, some may run the addon again and give you correct results, other will not run the addon because there was no actual page load. There is no standard in how back buttons should work, which is why there can be a difference between browser and browser, and which is why it's best to avoid when using a client-side addon.

    Hi,

    Please explain this error (attached image).
    Otherwise I'm pretty happy with this extension.

    Cheers

    That's not an error. The price history shows the lowest price for the day. Not the current price. Keep in mind that prices of products change multiple times throughout the day.

    Thank you for clearing that up. I had no idea they did that sad.

  • psfilipepsfilipe Posts: 164

    Btw, anyone has any suggestion on how to always set this extension to 'get' the current prices?

    The issue is not the back button per se but rather that the extension is altering the page contents itself with suffering the navigation history/state. We may look into this (as it annoys me too ;)), but it involves introducing page histories and risking gumming up Daz's own filtering history...so it'd need lots of testing before we'd be confident enough to release it. It's not impossible...just really hard to get right. :)

    Well thanks at least for confirming the problem (and that it annoys you too). I wish you luck in finding a solution which, I'm sure, many of us would welcome. I worked in the computer industry before retirement but not in software development (I was a network tech) and I do understand that there are complexities that are sometimes road blocks. Eventually, DAZ might find a better store package and yours and my experience might improve.

    Put thing you are interested in into your wishlist. Activate alerts for when wishlist items go on sale. Watch your email closely for messages from Ati.Shop quickly and decisively in case the sale is short lived.

    That's pretty much what I'm doing now...
    I just didn't realize that the sale periods were so short laugh

    Some last several days, some last only a few hours. Unintended sales might only last a few minutes.
