Multi Cross Sell mod [Support thread]

[bobmoss]

I've just installed this mod and everything is working fine.

However, is there any way to cross sell 1 product to ALL products in a particular category without having to enter each product manually?

Thanks.
Bob.

Short answer no!

Which way are you tryint to cross sell?

Every product in that category will have the (same) one product as a crossell
or
This one product will have every product in the category as cross sell products?

I have the same question. For example, I want my category of rubber stamps to all have the cross sell of items to mount the rubber stamps. So, each rubber stamp sheet (from the same category) would have the same cross sell of mounting supplies (from a different category). The rubber stamp sheets would not be cross selling with each other.

Is there a way to do that without entering each product from the category?

Again the short answer is no.
The reason I don't have that, is that there could be hundreds of items in some categories and cross selling them like this could enable the creation of tens or hundreds of thousands of cross sell records in one go. It would be far too easy to overload the server if used inappropriately.

How many items are in each of the 2 categories?

The way I would do it is create the 2 lists of cross sells in wordpad and cut and paste them to the entry boxes in the mods admin page.

The version v1.02 allows you to do "multi" one way cross sells

Use the "New Cross Sells" section
Click the "Cross Sell 1 way only? "
Copy your list of stamps to "Main product(s): "
Copy your list of mounting supplies to "Product model(s): "
and click "insert"
and its done

If you have made any typos in your lists you can go back to wordpad, edit them and run it again.
It will only add cross sells that don't already exist.

Oh, true--I hadn't thought of that since I don't have tons of items in each category

Thanks, that's what I thought I needed to do, but wanted to double check. Thanks for getting back to me so fast.

around line 237 you will find this code fragment

array(\'1\', \'2\', \'3\', \'4\', \'5\')
