Hi
currently i am working in commerce server 2007, i have to create e-commerce site with the following functionality, that is shopping cart, OrderTemplate and Favorite list
that meas
out site shows all the products to our users, below that list we want to give an three option (link) to those users, they are
1) Add to cart
that means just add the item to our basket
2) add to Order Template
just add the item to our order template
3) add to Favorite list
we want to add this item to an favorite list, that means what ever products, he wants means just add to favorite list at that time , but that list have no quantity column, just the products, after wards he goes to favorite list and open the list of products and just add to cart .. like wise
(becuase why we are this was given means, next time that used no need to search many products, just he goes with his favorite list)
so this is my task
1 and 2 are created using the available class in our commerce sever 2007 (basket, orderTemplate)
but my doubt was how to create the favorite list in the commerce server 2007. Please any one help me to solve this one....
How to create Favorite List in Commerce Server 2007

Praba,
I'm curious as to what you plan to do with the "Add to Order Template" functionality.
The OrderTemplate class is one of two solutions that Microsoft recommends for your aforementioned third scenario. Please have a look at the MSDN documentation: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.commerceserver.runtime.orders.ordertemplate.aspx .
The other option is to use named baskets, which is pretty similiar. This allows users to save a basket to the system other than their current shopping cart, and retreive it at a later time.
Your situation seems to suggest using the order template class, though.
I'm not quite sure if there's a way to add items to a "wish list" without adding some sort of inventory value. It'd probably just be worthwhile to subsititute a place-holder value of "1" when the users add the items to a favorites list, and then programmatically force them to adjust quantities when you add the order template to the basket at a later time.

You don't even need the OrderTemplates. You should make use of the named baskets. A user can have multiple baskets and you can identify them using the name. So in your case your user will have 3 baskets.
1. Default (This is user's default basket)
2. FavoriteList (This basket contains user's favorite items)
3. RecurringOrderBasket (Use this instead of OrderTemplates)

Hi Joe and VKumar
Thanks for ur answers, its very helpful for me comeout it. yea urs are correct, we programatically put one in the basket with the name of wishlist or favorite, i also thinking the same.. now i am going in this route, i create three baskets naming with the default and favoritelist and ordretemplate..
