Multi Cross Sell mod [Support thread]

[BlessIsaacola]

It would be great if someone knows how to make this: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=829 (Sidebox for Cross Sell) work with the mod. This Multi Cross Sell is superior to the other ones but I wish it can be displayed in a sidebox. You can see an example of what I am looking for here: http://www.clevershoppers.com/index....ducts_id=65420 in the Related Product box.

Thanks for creating this one.

Well, I tried to make this: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=829 work but was unsuccessful. If anyone else have a better chance please let me know. In the meantime, I will revert back to one of the other cross sell mod that allows for loading the cross sell in a side box. Thanks!

"Customize each Cross Sell's Box headings to be more relevant to its purpose."

I may just be blind, but I can't find the button/means to do this. Where is this located? I read over the "how to use" and the "README", yet it doesn't explain.

Wonderful plugin, btw. Very helpful (:

The headings are defined here:
includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR_TEMPLATE\multi_xsell_box_defin es.php

How many cross sells do you have defined?
You define more in admin->configuration->Cross Sell Settings-> Number of Cross Sells
Don't go overboard for most sites only need a handful.
btw: Each cross sell "heading" can be used for thousands of individual cross sell product to product.

Thank you! I haven't decided how many I want to use; I was just trying to figure out how to change the headers. And thanks for the heads up about the number of products!

Hi, I'm sure I've searched for this before, but this module is so good that I'm trying again.

I'd like this to work for document_product type.
Would this be simple enough to do for a non coder?
Didn't have any trouble with the regular install, but am sure it would be trickier for another product type.

Thanks...

I have never had a need to do this so have never previously tried to do this.
Just did a quick test...
I don't seem to have any reference to "product_type" in the code so that should allow this to work.
Created a new "document product"
Cross sell with a normal "product general"
No problems in the admin.

Displaying the product info page of the "product general" item show the "document product" item as a cross sell, OK.

Displaying the product info page of the "document product" item DOESN'T show the "product general" item as a cross sell.

Not surprising as this uses the "document_product_info.php" (which is not customised)
instead of "product_info.php" which does have the cross sell display code.

So... I haven't tried it but it should be a relatively simple matter to add the cross sell code that was added to "product_info.php" to "document_product_info" as well.

Remember to copy the "document_product_info.php" to your overide directory.
And of course, don't use on a live store until you have confirmed that it works.

Let us know how you go?

I will put it down as a possible extension to the existing code.
