[0.8.5] Watch this item becomes you are now watching this item (by nay27uk)

[webidsupport]

Hi all this is a little code mod I did that I thought I would share. A big thanks to renlock for some help with this.

This mod takes the original "watch this item link", in item.tpl and ads an ELSE statement, so when a user clicks the "watch this item" link and returns to the item, instead of the link now displaying "remove this item" it will display "Item is in your watch list" upon clicking the new link the user is taken back to his/her watched items page where if they wish they can remove it, basically how it works on eBay.

Modification Difficulty: Easy

Open item.tpl and locate

Code:

<!-- IF B_LOGGED_IN -->
        <a href="{SITEURL}item_watch.php?{WATCH_VAR}={ID}">{WATCH_STRING}</a>
<!-- ELSE -->
        <a href="{SITEURL}user_login.php?">{L_5202}</a>
<!-- ENDIF -->

and replace with

Code:

<!-- IF B_LOGGED_IN --> 
<!-- IF WATCH_VAR eq 'add' --> 
<a href="{SITEURL}item_watch.php?{WATCH_VAR}={ID}">{WATCH_STRING}</a> 
<!-- ELSE --> 
<a href="{SITEURL}item_watch.php?={ID}">{L_001A}</a> 
<!-- ENDIF --> 
<!-- ELSE --> 
<a href="{SITEURL}user_login.php?">{L_5202}</a> 

Next open up languages/EN/messages.php

Find

Code:

$MSG['001'] = "New user registration";

Below Add

Code:

$MSG['001A'] = "Item is in your watch list";

And thats it ENJOY
