you can't add anything that's from the warehouse. This isn't a new problem, it's just become more apparent now that the two are "merged". titles from the warehouse look like this:

Where WOWs own titles look like this:

http://www1.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php?product_code=xxxxxx

Nothing happened to it. CD-WOW has merely made an effort to try and integrate the warehouse selection into their own stock. The difference between the two is easiest spotted if you issue a search through the swedish website:

http://www12.cd-wow.se/searchresults...hfield=titanic

All the titles that have a price that ends with .00 come from WOWs own stock, and the prices that end with :- come from the warehouse. You can also refer to the earlier post in this thread on how to tell from the URL.

I stand corrected. It is a coding error on WOW's behalf, when they "fixed" the new design.

If you look at the sourcecode, you will notice the add-feature looks like this:

"memwishlist.php?add=true&product_code="23059"

It's supposed to be:

"memwishlist.php?add=true&product_code=23059"

This error means that your browser stops parsing the line right before the actual product code is added, and as such, the memwishlist.php application doesn't know which product you want added to the wishlist.

You can still add them manually, like so:

http://www1.cd-wow.com/memwishlist.p...&product_code=xxxxx

if you replace xxxxxx with the product_code (see above post about URL design to see where the product_code can be seen.

CD WOW Wishlist problem.

CD Wow say a permanent fix is on the way. Got this email from them a few minutes ago:
Quote:
It appears that due to some recent improvements and changes to our site, the wishlist is not currently operational.

The IT Department are working on resolving the problem and we hope this will be fixed within the next few days.
Meantime, I'm using friartuck's fix - works fine!

For his next trick, perhaps friartuck could explain how to make their search engine work properly?

Go to www.mcdvd.dk and use that instead. He indexes wow on a regular basis. If you just want the stuff that changed since yesterday, you can either use www.dvdbargain.net or http://andreas.rivig.net/div/results.htm.

Be aware that an item has to be indexed before the search engine on wow's site can pick up on it. Sometimes they neglect to index items, and as such these become unsearchable (not sure that's a word). Using a different website alleviates that problem by performing individual indexing of the titles. I hope that made sense.

Currently WOW are selling several titles, that cannot be browsed to and cannot be searched for. The only way to purchase them is if you know the product_code ;) I had to manually dig out the product_code for 2 box sets that I expected to be in stock, but appeared not to be available. Both have since arrived safe and sound, but I suspect I am the only customer to ever have purchased those boxes
