Better Wishlist?
![Sailoraurora17_ad2c0753ab](https://farnsworth-prod.uc.r.appspot.com/forums/uploads/userpics/576/nJX52RM5SRWI2.jpg)
It just occurred to me that our wishlists could be better organized.
For instance, it could be helpful to sort them by price so that you can see which item on your wishlist is currently the cheapest to get right now. espeically helpful towards people who has up to more than 100 items on their wishlists... like me. :P
anyway, that's just a suggestion.
Comments
unless i don't know what i'm doing, that big o box for adding comments in the wishlist does not work
Indeed.
I'd like to be able to sort by price, order added to list, manual order (which requires a bit of a UI to allow items to be rearranged), SKU number order (basically, product age), folder (ok, a little more UI), and (you saw it here, first)…
Current discount percent (so you can see what's got the best sale going).
I wouldn't mind seeing a bug or two fixed.
There's quantity in the "off-the-shelf" wish list that DAZ uses, but you can't have quantities for DAZ items, so if you accidentally add more than one of something to your wish list, then click "add to cart" on that wish list item, you get a "maximum quantity available to purchase is 1" error.
If you hit "add all items to cart", the wish list usually crashes with some weird error about clouds in Chicago. This is especially annoying because, right now, the fastest way to reorder a wish list is to click "add all to cart" then to go to your cart and click the "wish list" boxes on everything you want to be at the top of the wish list and then "move to wish list", then do it again for the next "layer" of the wish list. Repeat until you hit bottom.
Product listings could use a bit of touch-up, too.
I'd also like to see more icons (or colored borders, or greyed out products) in product listings. Right now, items in grids (like all the black friday items, the "fast grab" items, etc) get little icons for "DAZ original" and "platinum club". How about icons for…
* Already purchased
* Already in wish list
* Add on to something else you own (i.e. you already own "incredible morphing scarf", so "texture pack 5 for incredible morphing scarf" should get a special flag)
* Special upgrade offer! (You saw that first here, too. Imagine if the product listings were smart enough so that if you already owned "incredible morphing scarf" it put a little "upgrade icon" on "incredible morphing scarf mega bundle" and gave you an upgrade price that reflected the difference between the base time (or items, cause you might already own the scarf and texture packs 1 and 2, but not texture packs 3-8, "incredible morphing scarf wool shaders", "30 romantic poses for incredible morphing scarf", and "wooly shadows lighting preset for incredible morphing scarf").
When you're on an individual product page, the "add to cart" becomes "already purchased" (but it still adds one to your cart. Is that a bug? Is there any such thing as an item you can own more than one of?). So, the wish list icon could become "in wish list".
It doesn't work for me, either. Huge waste of screen real-estate.
You know what else doesn't work? The "edit" link under the "add to cart" button at the right of each wish list item. It opens a weird version of the product page with misplaced links for adding items to the wish list and the comparison list.
What comparison list?
And how do you compare two DAZ store items, any way? Does it make sense to compare "incredible morphing scarf" to Carrrara 11.5?
No, that lets you purchase more than one Gift Card.
i wish they would send out e-bots when a wish list item goes on sale, every where else i shop does that, this is the only store that i never get e-bots when a wish list item goes on sale.
wow, you all read my mind... I was just thinking the other day that we needed the wishlist overhauled
There was a "compare items" feature in the new store right after the monumentally hideous failure of a switchover. (Has it really been a year and a half? How time flies...) Remember, the new store software was designed to work best out of the box to sell real pick-up-in-your-hand actual things, where it would make perfect sense to look at and compare two different kinds of washing machines, trainers, etc. It failed horribly at selling intangible things like the computer files that make up a DAZ character or Studio plugin, which could be sold again and again, never need to be delivered by FedEx, and never run out of stock. I can't remember when the "compare" was taken out of the main store pages, but apparently there are a few bits of the old code still active.
Didn't it used to do that in the "good old days"? :-/
The comments section in the wishlist used to work too. I used to put "By so-and-so" so that when a PA had a store sale, I could pop over to the wishlist and see which items were from that PA. Doesn't work anymore (just tried).
Oh, my favorite subject . . . the horrific DAZ Wishlist. ~shakes head~
I agree we don't need that large Comments box, after all, what's it's purpose? Instead of that the product name, Reg. Price and Sale Price could be in it's place, and my long wishlist would be a WHOLE lot shorter.
If they automatically listed the PA that produced the wishlist item, that would be good too. I agree, taking up that much real estate for a completely non-functional comments window is a Bad Thing(tm).
Shortly after the infamous switchover, my wishlist was broken by one item (Lilian Bikini). No matter what I did, the wishlist would not show any more than some small number of items. The only answer was to "share" the wishlist with myself by email, save the email, then have my whole wishlist nuked by the admins.
Greetings,
Just...to put this out there, I have an improved wishlist on my site, http://www.3dwishlist.com which pulls from your DAZ wishlist and lets you sort and filter by all kinds of things.
It doesn't get much use, so I don't know what features to add for other folks, but it does work.

I tried to sign up, but got this message:
"We're sorry, but something went wrong."
Password was 16 chars, maybe too long?
BTW, how does it access one's DAZ account - you'll need the DAZ login for that?
Greetings,
Nah, 16 character passwords are fine. The problem was that I had added code to make it easier to set up, and then some code to render some additional information, and the two conflicted. While I have unit tests, multi-step integration tests are my bane. :)-- Morgan

I was discussing this the other day with someone else who needed some licensing information from people's DAZ accounts for an online project he is working on. We both agreed that asking people to give away their DAZ login to some other website was a bad idea, not many people would like to do that. Not to mention the potential security risks - someone might hack into the site and monitor it to get their hands on the data. I think I've got about 50 serial numbers in my account, some of them to some rather expensive programs, I wouldn't like to see them leaked to the warez community and perhaps being accused by DAZ for having given them away myself.
The app solution is better, like making the site automatically run a permanently installed app on the user's machine which is capable of retrieving the wishlist data from DAZ without the login data leaving the machine, and then send it back to the site.
