Cross Selling Module for v1.3.9b?

[ricangem]

Hello, I am presently using: v1.3.9b, is there a cross selling module for this version of zencart?

[kobra]

Usually, the modules are compatible in later versions as the files touched/created have not been altered

The only way to tell is check the support thread and/or install BUT only after first backing up all files and the database

Thanks kobra for the fast reply! I have another question. I have never installed a new module before and I was told to do this before installing it to my site:

create a test site with a new database
unzip the module to see the file structure
compare any .php that loaded or interferes with a core file
if so you have to munge the new data into the core .php file

The problem is that I don't know how to create a test site. I know how to unzip. But I do not know how to "compare any .php that loaded or interferes with a core file if so you have to munge the new data into the core .php file". This is all so confusing to me. Is there a better way of elaborating what I was told to do before installing the module to my site?

[kobra]

What that is stating is that if it replaces a core file then proceed with caution

Most mods will warn in the read me what files are being touched

And most use the template override system where there will be folders in the mod named "your_template_name" or similar that you will need to rename to that of your template

Comparing can be done using a "diff" app and winmerge is a free one

Oh I think I understand now. Do you mean this:

FILES THAT NEED TO BE MERGED
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php
See docs\Document.txt for sample code that needs to be inserted into this file
A sample merged zen-cart 1.3.9 tpl_product_info_display.php is in
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\SAMPLE_ADDITION_TO_tpl_product_info_d isplay.php

Or this:

Upload the admin directory to your renamed admin directory.
rename the "YOUR_TEMPLATE" directories to your template directory before uploading
Upload the includes directory to your includes directory. (Not the admin\includes directory)

Thank you for taking the time to help me, I really do appreciate it

[kobra]

Guess both

[ricangem]

What are core files, BTW?

[ricangem]

These are the NEW FILES:

admin\includes\multi_xsell.php
admin\includes\boxes\extra_boxes\multi_xsell_catalog_dhtml.php
admin\includes\extra_datafiles\multi_xsell_definitions.php
admin\includes\functions\extra_functions\multi_xsell.php
admin\includes\javascript\dynamic_input_field.js
admin\includes\languages\english\multi_xsell.php
admin\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\multi_xsell_defs.php

includes\extra_datafiles\multi_xsell_definitions.php
includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR_TEMPLATE\multi_xsell_box_defin es.php
includes\modules\YOUR_TEMPLATE\multi_xsell_products.php
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_modules_multi_xsell_products.php

OK, this is the part that I don't understand in the readme file:

Upload the admin directory to your renamed admin directory.
rename the "YOUR_TEMPLATE" directories to your template directory before uploading
Upload the includes directory to your includes directory. (Not the admin\includes directory)

What would I have to rename my admin directory to??

This is so confusing. I have been trying to figure how to install this module for over a year now. Any information would be helpful.

What would I have to rename my admin directory to??

I have not loaded 1.3.9b for a while

In 1.3.9h, one must rename the "admin" dir for a small layer of security

Hackers look for admin to attempt their nasties

[ricangem]

Hi Kobra, can I name the admin to anything I like?
