Saving a product as a favorite

[eduKit]

Does anyone know how a user can save a product/item and find it in their profile?

Hi,

This may not be the best way, however its the first thing that comes to mind.

So in the data types I’ve created a new field as follows (on the item/product data type):

So on your product/item your need a heart icon or something similar that can action the workflow to add a user to that product/item - in my case that item is a listing e.g. holiday listing. The workflow action is something like the below when the heart icon is clicked:

Now on the users profile page were have a repeating group with the following search and data source:

So again your type of content maybe product/item and perform the search on that data type. Now on the search we add a constraint like so:

You can add sorting and other constraints on top if needed. Then of course in the repeating group we add any fields from the item/product e.g. title, sku, photo

Below serves as an example:

Hope that helps…

I was actually thinking the exact opposite, but same theory.

Instead of creating a Favorited By on the product itself, I was thinking you could create an item in the User data called Favorited Products, and have the type be Products.

I don’t know if that would be more effective or what, just the thought that came into mine.

I agree I think your method is the better way round, heres the logic and reason:

On the users data type create a new field as follows:

Change the field type depending on the item/product

Then when this heart is clicked (heart icon is within the repeating group of items/products) start a workflow:

Job done.

Then somewhere on the user’s profile we add a repeating group with the following data source:

Using the expression ‘Current User’s…’ in the data source I believe is a faster call compared to ‘Do a search for…’. It also means you don’t need a filter to match the user, but optionally the data can be filtered or sorted with an additional expression at the end.
