Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

[FrankStephen]

I upgraded Zen cart from 1.3.9 to 1.5 and realized that the links from the Admin were removed with the upgrade. I managed to manually add the links back in one by one with the Admin Page Registration tool and this mod now works on my 1.5 site.

This is a great app, but I can't figure out one thing. I would like to have the same few items show up in cross sell no matter what the customer views or adds to cart. (I have thousands of items.)

Can someone share how to make this mod do that, or suggest another mod that would better suite my needs?

Thanks!

This one is amazing add-on.

Is it, however, possible somehow to pick entire category to cross-sell - for instance, if I'm selling LCD TV's, I want to offer my customers another related product or extended warranty or whatever. Is it possible to choose entire category at once, instead of selecting ID's of each product one-by-one?


Thanks.

@Frank, Just double, triple checking. You have this working on 1.5 without any problems or errors? I would like to try it but have been waiting for the promised upgrade and wondered if the current version would break things.

Many Thanks

So you didn't have to make a change in the files at all? I see one place where I thought a change should be needed. I have a client who wants this, so think I'll have it ready shortly.

It takes more than "adding the links back with Admin Page Registration". Just because you CAN make it work with ZC150 in this way, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

For example, did you check to make sure the old SQL file is compatible with the new db structure of ZC150? Or, have you gone through all of the pages of this mod to check the code for security issues such as destructive GETS and replace them with POSTS (if any)? Many changes were made in ZC150 in regards to security, and mods need to be updated to be in compliance with those security features - especially mods that make heavy use of the db as this mod does. Did you do any of that?

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to have this mod for ZC150, but I've been waiting for the mod author to complete and release the update because I KNOW he will do all those things and that using his mod will ensure safety and reliability.

If someone else can complete all of that before he can, I'm sure he'd appreciate it - as would everyone waiting on an update of this mod. But it's unfair to the community to prematurely release an update that isn't all that it should be.

I hope I'm not offending you, as that is not my intent. Just want to make sure you are aware of these things and find out whether or not you evaluated the code for necessary changes. Here's an article about updating mods to work with ZC150

I have a bit of loop with this mod - in order to do a fresh install, the user has to press the install button. Yet, in 1.5, you can't get it to show up on the menu without it being installed. I have yet to come up with a way to do a fresh install through the code. I'm afraid the upgrade itself will take a lot more coding then i had realized and that might well be why the mod developer has yet to get this done.

ScriptJunkie is correct that it is more than was reported earlier. However, I'm struggling with the gets myself. There are a few of them and I may just not be the one to do the fixes for that either. Very disappointing since I have a client who wants it now!

Re: the GETS....it's only destructive GETS that need to be replaced with POSTS. Non-destructive GETS can be left in place. Since I'm not a coder, I don't really know the difference or how to identify the two different types. Add to it that this is a huge and complex mod that very well might need some kind of auto-installer (or in the least, an old fashioned install.sql file) to get up and running and I knew I had to keep my hands off. It's going to take someone with a whole lot more than I got to update this one.

I feel your pain Delia

[delia]

well, the good news is that I'm almost there. Asked for help about the gets - think I have them figured out. Got a small database problem that's due to my skill level that I may have to break down and ask a more advanced coder about. Stay tuned!

Forgive me forum users, but on the UCS page in the dropdown list used to select which table you wish to edit, there are no numbers showing up. Has anyone else experienced or resolved this?

I'm having the same issue.

Also, when I toggle to show All (Cross, Related, Upsell) on the product page nothing actually shows. Although they work when I choose only one to show on the product page.
