Re: Cross Sell Advanced [Support Thread]
G'day,
So lat9 has installed Cross Sell Advanced for me and I've been testing it out on our test setup.
I added a product model to one product and it looked okay, but I wanted to try it on another product with five X-sell items.
So I've tried to add the following five Cross Sell products to Product Model: M-212 + MC-750
TEC52A-ANTIFOG
TA-200A
MS-20
VA-TOWEL3
SP-0101
But I get an error: Product Model: M-212 + MC-750 was not found. No Cross Sell Added.
I suspect Cross Sell Advanced has limitations on the Product Model character set, e.g. no spaces. There may be other limitations. It would help if the limitations were documented, but it would be even better if the problem was just fixed. Without a fix it's going to be difficult for us to use Cross Sell Advanced.
Also, what's Cross Sell Advanced going to do if two products have the same Product Model value, because I'm not aware of Zen Cart stopping this from happening. We may well have some duplicate Product Model values.
Personally, I'd like to be using the Product Id value. After all, that value is unique.
It would be really nice if Cross Sell Advanced supported us being able to use either of Product Model or Product Id on its various inputs.
(By the way, it's simply not practical to use the old Cross Sell interface on a site with more than 2000 products. Not being able to go direct to a product id and having to page around is just not a workable interface. And no doubt, that's why Cross Sell Advanced was created.)
Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.
