Using the Wishlist Module

The Wishlist module allows you to add a favouriting tool across your website. This enables visitors to favourite specific content and build a personalised wishlist, which they can email to themselves or print as a reference for what they plan to see at your event.

The wishlist tool can be applied across all modules on the platform, including:

• Exhibitors

• Speakers

• Sessions

• All library content types

• Galleries

You can see a live example of the Wishlist tool in action on our demo site:

⚙️ Enabling the Wishlist Tool in the CMS

The Wishlist tool is available on all sites and can be enabled by following the steps below:

1. Navigate to settings
   Go to Settings > Site Settings > Wishlist.

2. Configure core functionality
   Within this area, you can configure how the Wishlist tool behaves, including:

   • Setting a custom title or alias (the term Wishlist is not hardcoded)

   • Choosing a front-end icon (heart, star, or bookmark – visual only)

   • Selecting which modules the favouriting tool appears on

     • When enabled, it will display on both list views and individual entry pages (e.g. exhibitor profiles)

   • Customising the PDF output generated from a user’s wishlist, including:

     • PDF title and introductory text

     • File name

     • Whether exhibitor country flags are shown (if applicable)

     • Whether associated categories are included

     • Email options for the automated message sent alongside the PDF

3. Adjust translations (optional)
   Within the Translations tab, you can modify predefined text that appears within the module. This step is only required if you need to change the default wording.

🧩 Adding the Wishlist Widget to Your Site

To ensure visitors can see the wishlist icon and favouriting count (for example, in the site header), the Wishlist widget must be added. The process depends on your site template:

• Classic Composer

  • Create a new panel (if one does not already exist)

  • Assign it to the Header Wishlist panel location

  • Insert the Wishlist widget into the panel and save

• Composer 2

  • Open your header panel

  • Use the built-in Search & Wishlist tab

  • Ensure the widget is added and toggled on

• Custom templates

  • A custom panel is typically required

  • Please raise a support request with details of where you would like the icon to appear on the website
