Explanation, if possible, please

This is the nightmare I thought it would be. The whole reason I switched from OSC to ZC was to avoid exactly this......

The "module manager" doesn't work. It can't be installed, or if it is installed (I don't know) it does not work. When I try to access it from admin it gives a bunch of messages about files being missing, etc.

Will I try to install this cross sell module? Of course not! It looks 10X as difficult as this module manager thing, and I spent 3 hours messing with it! Besides, it has to have a module manager, for some reason, which I can't install anyway.

I will promote other items (accessories, etc.) as links on the product page.

Try this one ( www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=76 ) scroll to the bottom of the page and download version Author: Granville Version: 1.3.1

doesn't require the module manager and is much easier to use.

Thanks, I will give it a go. Do I have to somehow "uninstall" this module manager thing I tried to put in?

I would prefer to just leave it in there (unless it's going to screw things up). Of course, all of this is being done on a practice site. My project site is not involved yet, until I figure out what I am doing.

You can probably just leave it.

One of the unavoidable aspects of website management (irrespective of the systems and programs you use) is the requirement that the "webmaster" has a fair degree of knowledge of the fundamental principles involved.

Zencart is no different from osCommerce, Magento, Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Prestashop.... (this list is endless) ... in this respect.

There are literally hundreds of online tutorials on how to manage websites, so there is no point duplicating this information in this forum.

The one good thing is... if a complete idiot like me can get to grips with it, then practically anybody can.
