Cross Sell Advanced [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

Short answer is that you would need to modify this module to support displaying cross sell items in the shopping cart..

From the module description (please note the highlighted portion):

How Does Advanced Cross Sell Work??
=============================
The shop sells Walkmans.. If the shopowner/administrator adds cross sell products to the Walkman product via the Advanced Cross Sell interfaces, the product page will now includes a new centerbox.. "may we also recommend batteries, case cd's etc."

How do I get the cross-sell products to display after a customer selects and adds a product to the shopping cart?

Thanks

Is there a long answer? I've looked all over for where to configure it.

Modify = Create new custom code to extend the module's current functionality to include NEW functionality.

It's not a "configuration" thing, it's a "you would need to write new code for this module to add the feature you want" thing..

Now that said if a community member has the code to share or the time to write and share this code they will.. Otherwise, you might want to look at the other cross sell modules and see if they have the feature you are looking for or you might consider utilizing the services of a developer to create the code you are after..

G'day,

If someone is looking to enhance this plugin it would be really nice if given a list of n products, the mod had an option (checkbox) to ask it to automatically go through and cross-sell EACH combination together.

For example, if you give it 3 products: A, with cross sell to B and C, it could optionally cross-sell:
A to B and C,
B to A and C, and
C to A and B.

Obviously the larger n is, the greater the admin time saving would be.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

There are other cross sell modules that may already provide this functionality.. Suggest looking at one of those if you want the feature.. It's likely why no one has ever enhanced this one beyond it's current featureset..

Hello, I'm having a problem with cross_sell_plus_advanced_combo_1.3. I'm running Zencart 1.5.4 which I updated to back in May of 2015. Before that I had been using this addon through many versions back to maybe 1.3.x and always appreciated its functionality. Decided to give it another try on my locally hosted test site (Mac OS X 10.8). I downloaded the latest version 1.3a and reuploaded the files to their proper places (checked it closely several times to make sure I hadn't dropped something in the wrong place. Went back to the admin page (running in the latest version of Firefox) and got a big white screen with this message- WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. Maybe it was luck, maybe I remembered from the last try but the first file I pulled out of the configuration - config.xsell.php - fixed it. Well at least admin worked again but no configuration menu and no cross-sell. And the other thing, if I remember right, there used to be a sql patch that needed to be installed. Doesn't seem to be one in the new version. If the new version depends on an existant sql patch maybe mine disappeared along the upgrade path. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I did see this problem mentioned earlier in the thread

One little addition. The Table: products_xsell is still in the database. I checked it with phpmyadmin.
