    Well it's not that simple to implement into the current system according to the explanation they gave me. I'm not sure I can post it here though as I had to sign an NDA to get the information they gave me at that time. But among others there are also performance issues to consider.

    Really? Sorry that response you heard sucks. One would be better off to spend their time gathering bulldroppings rather than listening to BS. Think about this ... How come Overdrawn and Ati can do it with DAZ Deals??? To do this there must be an api by DAZ meaning DAZ has is extending capibilities to developers via an api. Facebook does the same, allowing developers to utilize an api. An example would be when users show their Facebook likes on a site unaffiliated with Facebook or utilize an api utility tool to see who unfriended you. DAZ Deals didn't hack Daz3d.com. They particiapated in an api. If a third party developer could figure it out so can DAZ. The bigger question is why haven't they. DAZ Deals will fade out the icons and say you own them despite DAZ trying to get you to buy them again.

    Daz didn't code the website, they use an existing e-commerce solution (Magento). And yes, it can be difficult to customize those kind of solutions.
    As for the Daz Deals extension changing the style of owned items, it's much easier to do than what you're asking for, as it uses info actually available on the page to simply change the display, not info about some other product which probably isn't even linked to that one in the product database.

    Well I had a very frustrating weekend. I bought a large-ish GC in the 12% off sale on Friday - unfortunately just about the time that CS would have gone home for the weekend. I've never had a problem with a GC before (no, amazing isn't it) but wouldn't you know this time I got a GC code that didn't work. All those catch-up opportunities and glitches and no store credit to spend. Grrr!

    (I raised a ticket of course, but being the weekend nothing happened until this morning. All credit to CS for a nice speedy job, but a day too late for that catchup)

    Me too. Got a 200.00 dollar card 5 days ago and still not working. Missed out on an entire 100.00 cart of fantastic deals. No screenshot. URGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Can't wait for Jan 15th to quit DAZ!

    Okay this may be a first. I am quoting me. I have been so-o-o-o pissed over the past few days. I typically save all windows of carts that go south but somehow I closed them. I ask my husband if had any open carts. No luck. Than he said. I do. I got the emails from ATI and I have the itmes you wanted saved. NOW my problem is ... how do I put in a support ticket and have ATI/Overdrawn Daz Deals get commission on it? Because without them I would have no pricing proof od what I tried to buy and had carted. @ATI any thoughts?

    To be honest, this price proof thing is a funny one that I never quite understood. Jamie always asks me for a screenshot of the low prices, but... we are all working with images here on this site, aren't we? Everyone can create any screenshot they want. I never cheat with this, but in general, I can totally imagine people doing it.

    I don't think Daz would accept the notification e-mails as proof. Sometimes those prices are only live for a few minutes. Having the e-mails alone does not prove that you could have indeed made that purchase in that few minutes. In this regard, a screenshot of the cart is still better.

    Jamie is fantastic, has my highest respect, and has always treated me great. I own 4500+ products that I do micromanage. I keep a spreadsheet of everyting I own, from whom, for what, reg price, discount, any ticketed credits, when bought, sku etc. but my DAZ days are numbered but his is what amazes me about your app. Some stuff does show as own, yet Daz offers it for sale.I just did a temporary extension on this PC to finds an example. Here's one attached.

    You own the items in the bundle, not the bundle itself.

    This can be tricky because sometimes the bundle gives you the items PLUS some extra bonuses. For example the pro packs give you the "private parts," not just the items in the pro pack, so purchasing a pro pack could make sense even if you have all items from it. Some PAs also give extra bonuses in bundles, not just the items in them. And then there are other bundles where you only get the separate items, and nothing else. It's kind of tricky.

    What you can do, is a workaround: if you are sure you don't want to buy the bundle, you can hide it (big blue "Hide this product from listings" button). It still won't show up as owned because you don't actually own the bundle, just the separate items in it.

    Amy Winehouse would have used a different word than "tricky", but your point is well received. It's too bad I did not catch on to the app 4500 sales ago. It's 2.55 am here and I'm going to watch my eyelids for a few hours.

    Stay safe.

    I'm sorry to hear that your Daz days are numbered. Are you leaving for a particular reason? If it's too personal and you don't wish to say, I understand. :)

    Is it a Loyalty Rewards eligable item? Only items on the Holiday Sale Page are eligible and I'm not seeing that item there; but maybe I missed it.

    ah, you're right...it's fallen off the still new page.  thanks!

    OT   Thought I'd share some of the fun we're doing this week on my Art Studio thread. We want to see your dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, critters that you call pets or "human companions" that share or have shared your life. Time to call bragging rights on your special animal friends. The posts start here and are scattered through one or two product reviews, but we're mostly doing pets at the moment. Would love for you to share the fun this holiday week, as we all know pets are so much a part of your family. Love to have you post your critters!

    I was also somewhat underwhelmed with today's offer. I own all but one freebie, and have no interest in that one.

    I only have 3 to choose from, so I opened it up in a private window and there are only about 6 items and they're all old Pc+ items. there's not much of an incentive to add 2x debut new releases just to get a $1.99 item. Phew, My wallet survives another day. laugh

  • the free 1.99 item was not free in the cart so I chucked it out after 3x f5 and refresh

  • Oh 2x debut I only had one debut

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    hah yeah. Humbug would work. LOL. It did make me laugh when it was originally used. 

    Curious, does anyone have this: https://www.daz3d.com/wounds-and-blood-for-genesis-8-female-s-and-merchant-resource The more blood and wounds for my girls, the better (which sounds creepy but you know what i mean....) Does it work easily on Genesis 3 Female? I'm not really into G8 so would prefer to use it on G3, but I don't know if it'd translate well.

    Yes, it works quite well with Genesis 3 Female with a couple of caveats. 

    1. It doesn't show up in Smart Content when Filter By Context is checked.  You need to uncheck Filter By Context and go to Materials->Iray->Feminine->Wounds and Blood for Genesis 8 Female to find the presets.  The W&B Editor is in Utilities->Scripts.
    2. The Editor is designed for Iray.  Genesis 3 Female loads up 3Delight, which means the W&B Editor will state to select a figure with Wounds and Blood.  Either convert the materials on the figure to Iray or use a Genesis 3 Female which uses Iray materials by default, like Victoria 7

    I think both the wet hair, and the wet outfit by Linday comes with the wet skin geo shells.
