Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

[shags38]

Jose,

many thanks for your response.

I am not a developer but food for thought - is it possible to have the cross-sell code;
<!-- bof Ultimate Cross Sell Combo -->
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php'); ?>
<!-- bof Ultimate Cross Sell Combo -->

in its own <div>cross sell code plus add to cart</div> AND have another 'add to cart' button in that div so that it can be placed on the page near the add to cart for the product? (in effect a page within a page?). Many / most of my product pages have a lot of text content and the cross-sell will be lost at the bottom of the product page which is well below the 'fold' - most visitors will not read all the text, it is there as much for the crawlers as anything.

Please take a look at this product page for an example of what I mean; http://dazzlers.net.au/index.php?mai...roducts_id=682 (Jewellery item - cross sell will be a 'Jewellery Polishing Cloth' - a perfect also add to your cart product)

If it is OK with you I will also pose the question to Anne from Picaflur Azul to get her thoughts (or maybe you should if inclined from a collaborative developers point of view) on how it may fit within her template, that is of course if doing what I said is in fact feasible - it would make the cross sell so much more flexible for those with long product description pages like me. I like the add to cart being right up there where the product image is, no scrolling, just click and pay your money :) - may will not need to read the description details so may not scroll so therefore not see the cross sell item.

Anyway Jose - over to you.

cheers,
Mike

p.s. the extra add to cart button would be designated with certain text and maybe colour indicating that it is for the specific cross sell item (??)

[ultimate_zc]

Mike,

It is your site. Feel free to ask anyone you choose for advice. I'm sure that Anne is very knowledgeable and will be able offer some good advice as well.

I don't think I really understand your intentions. Why the two add to cart buttons? Are you trying to let customers add either product to the cart. If that is the case. I don't think that is going to work. It is not that simple, even worse if the product in the cross sell has attributes. I created something like that a while ago for a template I sold on my site. I no longer have it. You can see one of their product pages with the two "Add To Cart" buttons, even with the cross sell items having attributes (click here to see the page). Be aware that the website sells lingerie and it is in a language I don't understand. Anyway, The only way I managed to achieved having two "Add To Cart" buttons was using Ajax for the Cross Sell.

About the placement of the ultimate cross sell, to be honest, I have not looked at the plug in in quite a while but if I'm not mistaken, it is already contained within its own division. You should be able to place it anywhere as long as it is not inside the form tags <form></form>. I understand that is not much help since the form tags take the entire length of the product info page but it does not need to be.

Take the following code located at the top of the file:

<!--bof Form start-->
<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product', $request_type), 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"') . "\n"; ?>
<!--eof Form start-->

and place it immediately above

<!--bof Add to Cart Box --> 

Take the following line of code located at the bottom of the file:

<!--bof Form close-->
</form>
<!--bof Form close--> 

and place it immediately below:

<!--eof Attributes Module --> 

You should end up with something like this:

<!--bof Form start-->
<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product', $request_type), 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"') . "\n"; ?>
<!--eof Form start-->

<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->
<?php
if (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL == 3 and TEXT_LOGIN_FOR_PRICE_BUTTON_REPLACE_SHOWROOM == '') {
  // do nothing
} else {
?>
            <?php
    $display_qty = (($flag_show_product_info_in_cart_qty == 1 and $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart($_GET['products_id'])) ? '<p>' . PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT_IN_CART . $_SESSION['cart']->get_quantity($_GET['products_id']) . '</p>' : '');
            if ($products_qty_box_status == 0 or $products_quantity_order_max== 1) {
              // hide the quantity box and default to 1
              $the_button = '<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);
            } else {
              // show the quantity box
    $the_button = PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT . '<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="' . (zen_get_buy_now_qty($_GET['products_id'])) .

Doing so will give you much more room to place the Ultimate Cross Sell line of code and you could also use some css to adjust the location the exact way you want.

Now I should ask you. Wouldn't it be simpler to just turn on the cross sell sidebox placing it at the top of column two?

[ultimate_zc]

Mike,

I would suggest you remove the language sidebox (you only have one language installed). It is not giving anybody an option to do anything. You should also remove the search box. You have the search header almost right above it. Chances are your customers will see the search header before they see the search sidebox. That leaves plenty of room for the cross sell sidebox and it would be displayed above the fold.

You may also want to look at the Better Together plug in.

Hi Ultimate_zc

I was wondering if you could help. I have installed the mod however I have an issue in Admin, the module does not show up. I have reinstalled and even installed each individual file to ensure they are all where there should be, but sill no luck.

If I type: https://assceneoncom.ipage.com/catal...cross_sell.php I can see the mod so I know it's there. Any ideas?

Any help on this?

[ultimate_zc]

If you are using Zen Cart 1.3.9h and it doesn't show it may be because it hasn't been installed properly. If you are using Zen Cart 1.5.0, it will not show. It was not designed for 1.5.0 therefore, it lacks files that need to be uploaded to the Admin folder.

Go through the steps once again (if you are using 1.3.9h).

Also, you may have to rename your admin folder. You just posted the name here for everyone to see. Regardless, that link would not be of any help without username or password.

Hi, Ultimate_zc, after i installed your plugin, i got an error below the product information:

Warning: include(includes/modules/FILENAME_CROSS_SELL_PRODUCTS.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mywebsite/includes/templates/WG_puregreen/templates/tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sell_products.php on line 18 Warning: include(): Failed opening 'includes/modules/FILENAME_CROSS_SELL_PRODUCTS.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php5ext/php/') in /mywebsite/includes/templates/WG_puregreen/templates/tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sell_products.php on line 18...............

I checked the directory "...mywebsite/includes/modules", there was no "FILENAME_CROSS_SELL_PRODUCTS.php" file, please help me.

by the way, i am using 1.3.9h, and i have changed the "admin" folder name.
thank you in advance.

[mickymix]

@ultimate_zc,

first of all thank you for your very nice and useful addon... Just installed on my 1.3.9h following instructions and everything flawlessy...

I've anyway noticed there is a parameter which seems not being working for me on Settings:
"Related - Sidebox Display Products - Max"
whatever value I enter here, I always get the default value applied on the frontend... (-> 3 !)

I've tried with Cross-Sell and Up-Sell values, and they work correctly...

Do you have any hint on what I should check to see if it's only me ?

LastBNL, a suggestion. The word "model" which is appearing in ->Catalog->UltimateCrossSell pages is not available as translat-able... it seems coded elsewhere and I'm not yet confident editing those php files (usually I make the whole shop crash... :-) !!!).

Thank you again.

[swmolen]

Any plans to upgrade this to 1.5??? *prettypleasewithcherryontop*
