Cross-promotion

[Jaysun]

Hi all. First time posting here. Great forum & product.

I am using this cart for a little different solution than what it's meant for. I am not selling anything at all on the page (may be in the future). I am using it for a database for information. Basically what I am looking for is a way to cross-promote other items on the same page as the item_page. Not random, specific items. Here is what I am doing.

I run a guild for a popular online game. We are using ZenCart to organize quests, items, creatures, characters, etc. Each quest has related creatures, items, zones, etc. What I want to do is create a quest (just like you would create an item for sale) and associate that quest with the items you get from completing it, the creatures involved, any zones you have to visit or travel to, etc. I have already created quests, items, creatures and all that but have not found a way to relate them to each other without manually coding it (huge pain). I checked out a few cross-selling mods that are on the official site but all of them seem to only display random cross-promoted items.

Is there a solution in sight?

Not sure if anything out there exists. Thanks for all who take a minute to read this and respond

Have you looked at Better Together? It associates an item (or category) with another item or category.

Good luck,
Scott

I actually have that program installed but it looks like it has to be manually coded. I also did not read anything about being able to specify actual items or categories in the tutorial for the mod.

The associations are manually coded. To associate product 1 with product 2, say

add_prod_to_prod(1,2, "%", 50);

You'd have to fiddle with the wording, but the mechanism is there. If you need help,
PM me.
