    Default How to group multiple products together?

    Hi there, this is my first question, and I've gotten a lot of help around the forums already. I'll try to be clear and concise.

    I am trying to group multiple products together. Something like related products.

    For example, a Bedroom set that comes with the Bed, Dresser 1, and Dresser 2. I would like to somehow be able to group these together.

    This is the site: http://www.bestbuy-furniture.com/

    If you look at a product listing here: http://www.bestbuy-furniture.com/ind...=index&cPath=5

    You will see how convenient it is to add multiple products to your cart. Is there any way of doing something similar but without having to make a category for every single product?

    I tried using sub categories, but it was far too tedious and messy.

    Any help or suggestion of a mod would be greatly appreciated!

    You may wish to look into the Cross Sell Add-on for this and see if that can help you in matching products together ...

    If the products don't have attributes, you could use

    Thanks for your suggestions. I resorted to setting up sub categories for each product, do you see issues with this method.. Here is an example:

    This is a Sub Category:

    http://www.bestbuy-furniture.com/ind...dex&cPath=2_20

    Here it contains all the pieces to the furniture set. I guess it does the job. Was just annoying to re-do the structure of things.

    Thanks again!

    Devnut,

    I just sent you a PM on this. I just checked out the last link you posted. How did you do that? That is exactly what I am looking to do but with jewelry. Have been driving myself nutz trying to figure it out so I can display a necklace and then below all the parts to buy with qty box and add to cart button.

    It is perfect. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    Devnut,

    I'm trying to do something similar. In my case the sub-categories would be lunch combos, and inside of them - products e.g. sandwiches (costomizable though attributes), drinks, etc.

    I would appreciate any hint as to how to re-organise the system in order to achieve this.

    Cheers!

    Hey Dantes,
    I never did hear back from Devnut and the sub catagory thing didn't work for me. I ended up purchasing a mod from Flipside (you can just search for his name in these forums ro go to http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/member.php?u=5596 to contact him). It is awesome!!! He calls it a Product Bundle. Totally worth it every penny!!! Check it out at http://cowspotbeads.com/catalog/inde...roducts_id=705

    Thanks cowspot,

    I might check it out. However, I have to do some further modifications to zen-cart for my project so a ready mod might not exactly be what I need.

    Cheers
