Compare multiple products - support thread

[damiantaylor]

Ok, I seem to have this working.
the problem is in the javascript file jscript_products_compare.js.

If I change from this...

  function compareNew(obj, action) {
    $('#compareProducts').load('ajax_compare.php', {'compare_id': obj, 'action': action});
  }

....to this.....

  function compareNew(obj, action) {
    $('#compareProducts').load('AJAX_servers/AJAX_compare_server.php', {'compare_id': obj, 'action': action},
							   function(data) {  $("#compareProducts").html(data);  }
							   );
  }

It works!
Has anybody else had this not work or is it just me?

hi,

Quite frustratingly i have been spending hours today trying to get this working. The ajax side of it wasnt working at all. Then, i had a moment of inspiration! I use the CEON URL re-write tool. I needed to exclude this file from being re-written and off we went! works perfectly!

Just something to keep in mind for others!

I have this installed on my local host and when ever I try to compare two or more products the resulting page is one that says there are no products to compare, even though I'm certain that I checked the boxes before clicking compare. any help?

Just thought I'd ask whether anyone knows the reason for the above. I suspect it might be related to other mods I have installed. I've installed and reinstalled this mod but can't for the life of me see where the problem is.

Just thought - it might be because I'm running v1.50, although the original source of this query - novastar - would have been on an earlier version

Yeah I'm using 1.3.9h, I installed a fresh copy of zen cart on my localhost to test this so this was the first and only mod I installed and it still didn't work. I saw that another version had been installed so I installed that on my live sight but it still has the same issue. I don't want to oversimplify a problem because I'm not an expert but it seems like a small fix, may be a bug somewhere. Any help appreciated.

"I saw that another version had been installed..." I meant that I saw that another version of the mod had been uploaded. i.e. 1.0.2.
