Favorite lists and plugin issues
« on: November 17, 2024, 06:23:41 PM »
I found multiple issues and things that don't have any logic.
1. If you create a list ex. "List1" and have favorite products in it. If you log out, add another product into favorites and after log in it will create a new default list and add that product to it. Seems like a bug.
2. When you add to favorites from item page it counts favorited even if user is not logged in and also counts multiple times if you add/remove multiple times. Should only count for logged in users because that's the only number that matters.
3. Can we change /fi-favorite-items URL to custom?
4. Heart icon in header doesn't live update when adding to favorites, needs page refresh. Bleah...
5. In my account in the menu favorite link doesn't have the counter like default links. I know it has counter in header but also should have it here.
6. Overall I would suggest removing lists altogether and just keep all the favorited items on one page.

1) ?
2) it couns all. you can enable favorite items for logged-in users only
3) in index.php, routes
4) it should not update on live, but after refresh
5) counters are not always included in links
6) we plan to remove custom favorite lists in future
  To get fast support, we need following details: Detail description, URL to reproduce problem, Screenshots

1. Doesn't really matter because you said you will remove this feature. Any ETA?
2. Didn't see that option anywhere.
3. Thanks but do I need to replace every instance of fi-favorite-items or are there some that need to remain?
4. Well, it should update live and should only count favorited from logged in users.
5. Well, they should...
6. Please do so, it's absolutely useless

I believe a better way of handling lists is to create and keep a default list option (created upon user account creation and cannot be deleted) with the option to set any list as default (Set as default) and when favoriting, provide options to choose lists to add favorited listings ie.

- When a user favorites a listing (regardless of whether logged in or out) and only the default list is present, it is added to the default list without automatically creating new lists.

- When a user favorites a listing, provide the user with option to select which list to add the favorites to if there is more than 1 (could be an overlay dropdown or search list box with current lists as values) and with option to create new list on the spot, and add a small check box to mark selected or new list as new default (this is very useful when user has a purpose in mind ie. renting apartments, buy car, looking for specific job etc.) - This also ensures the user's journey isn't interrupted (having to go back to the favorites page to create and manage lists).

- Change "CURRENT" to "DEFAULT"

- Change "Items in your list" to "{LIST_NAME} favorites list"

- Change the counter to only log or increment for logged-in users is simple

- Adding a counter to the favorite listings link is also simple

- Show list marked as default on list page load

- Option to move favorites between lists (reassign)

To be honest I've not heard about many users those would really use multiple lists.

Me neither but I always look at things from different angles ie. product/feature differentiation, trailblaze if you will.

I don't mind it going but would like to see instead a better view of the saved favorites ie. pagination, sorting by listing expiry date, price and category maybe (to make up for the removal of the lists) and with of course the ability to notify if price / status changes occur which could be a small alert icon added next to the trash icon.
