Tony,
I'm the maintainer of that module, and the wishlist issue queue is the place to file issues.
On this particular concern the module won't allow anonymous users to purchase items by design. Two reasons. 1) there's also a "put a gift back" capability that requires that we know who the user is.
Yeah, although for my personal purposes that wasn't terribly important.
2) if anonymous users can get gifts off the list, than crawlers will end up following those links and will mark all your items purchased in a matter of days. Anonymous users see the non-functional "get this gift" link to drive them to click it, see that they need an account, and then enroll with your site.
If you file an issue asking to allow anonymous users to purchase items, I'll reject it. :)
Aaaah. I hadn't thought of the crawler issue. I knew there was some logical reason for anonymous purchases to be deliberately disallowed (which is why I was trying to mess with this on my own instead of using the issue queue), but wasn't sure what. Thanks for the explanation.
If you've found another problem during your research, I do want to hear about it. File the details in the wishlist module's issue queue.
Scott
I may have to submit a patch just with some extra comments then. ;) -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/
