Hi Guys,
Some of you have been asking for a "Wish List" feature on our website for quite some time. I finally found a little time to write some new code for it. Here is a quick run down of how it works:

What is My Wishlist?
My Wishlist is a convenient way for you to save a reminder of an item you would like to purchase later.

How do I add items to My Wishlist?
To add an item to My Wishlist, just click the "Add to Wishlist" button for any item that interests you. The "Add to Wishlist" button appears below the product description on the product info pages.

How do I view My Wishlist?
Once you are logged in, on the right column is a "My Wishlist" box. This box shows the current status of My Wishlist. If there are 4 or less items in My Wishlist, they will be listed here. If there are more than 5 items, there will be a simple counter with the total number of items in My Wishlist.

My Wishlist may be viewed at any time by clicking either the "My Wishlist" option in the website header, or by clicking the My Wishlist bar in the "My Wishlist" box.

How do I move My Wishlist items to my Shopping Cart?
To move My Wishlist items to the Shopping Cart, select the items you wish to add to your cart and click the "Add to Cart" button and voila! The item is moved to the Cart.


If you sign into your account on the site; then create your wish list, the items will remain in you wish list box indefinitely until you have either removed them or added them to your cart and checked out.
If you create the wish list without being logged in, the items will be stored in your browser as a cookie for 90 days, after which they will expire (or until you clear your browser cookies) and no longer be available.

I will be making several more changes to the website over the next few weeks so if you have trouble browsing, be a little patient as we may be updating files with the site live.
If you have ANY trouble using the My Wish List feature or find any bugs, please let me know immediately at [email protected].
Thanks and Enjoy!
Todd

The wishlist is a cool feature, and I use it extensivley on e.g. Amazon. Thanks for taking the time to make your store more user friendly.

Since you are going to be adding to the website ... any chance of adding a search function on your main http://www.dreamworksrc.com/ page ? It's a trivial gripe, but it would be nice to do a search without having to first navigate to a different page (e.g. products page) that has the search capability on it.

Good idea !

Gordon,
The home page is simply a welcome page and is not tied to the actual "Store". Since this page is simple html and not tied to my database it is not an easy addition to have a database search function there. Most people set the bookmark page for the site to http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/
from here, every page offers the quick find feature in the right hand column.

I am open to any suggestions to updating the website for ease of use and function. Feel free to fire off ideas, those that I can handle I am happy to oblige!
Thanks for the feedback!
Todd

my list....more money [sm=drowning.gif]

Just paste this on your home page somewhere in the header.

<form name="quick_find" action="http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="keywords">
<input type="image" src="http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_quick_find.gif">
</form>

Hope this saves you some time.

Arnaud

Thanks that will make things easier

Thanks Arnaud! DUH... For some reason I was thinking the code had to be within the PHP for the database to respond....
it's amazing how much you forget when you dont use it for a while []

Gordon... your wish is completed.
New additions being coded now as well....
Todd

Thanks Tod(d) - that's excellent !!

Thanks to Arnaud as well.

Way to go Todd. Good way to start the new year. I love dealing with Dreamworks and this is why. Good luck

Another addition completed today....

I have just completed installation of our online gift certificate redemption coding which will now allow you to redeem your gift certificate orders directly off the website.
If you have a current Dreamworks Model Products Gift Certificate, just enter the certificate number on the checkout page which will credit your account with the certificate balance. You may then use this balance as you please, any remaining balance not used per order will remain in your account for future purchases. I will have all current gift certificate (our list of valid open certificates) codes entered into the website by tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems with this service.

Todd,

What about the struts for the Lightning? 8 months and counting now...

Boli,
We will not release a product until I am 100% satisfied with it's performance. That means prototyping and then field testing for many flights to prove reliability. We have been testing and revising as required to assure the product is up to my standards and the best we can supply. The latest revision is doing well in testing and should be ready for release very soon.
Todd

OK, thanks for the update.
