Known Issues

This extension requires Facebook Opengraph Meta Tags for the facebook share to work.  The only page that these are added to is the "Shared Wishlist" page.

It is possible that you already have an extension or theme that includes Facebook Meta Tags and there may be a conflict, it may be necessary to fix that - please email for support if required.

Information

Add to Wishlist: The extension alters the wishlist link on all pages and modules for the default theme.  It should also alter the links for most themes but it may be neccessary to make some small changes to the extension to work with your theme.  You will know the links have not been altered as the items will not get added to the wishlist.

Footer Links: The extension adds a link in the footer for the List / Search For wishlist page.  Some themes have this controlled in the admin and some themes just change things so the extension does not work.  If you have a theme that can add links in the admin then the link you need to add is
OC2x index.php?route=wishlist/wishlist_list
OC3x index.php?route=extension/wishlist/wishlist_list
Otherwise, if the link is not in the footer and you require help with this, then please email for support.

For help and support please use the email form Email Support Form

If something has gone wrong or you need support then please include as much information as possible and a full description of the problem.  If you send me an email that just says 'it's not working', support is going to take a lot longer as I'm going to have to start asking lots of questions.... the more information I have the quicker I can solve any problems.
