Hello I am a newbie and have just installed zen cart. I added the cross sell feature but cannot make it work. I followed the instructions, but when I click on the catalog tab the cross sell option does not appear. I re-ran the sql file but the original must have worked because I get the message that those files already exist. Cross sell options do exist in the min and max files under the configuration tab and they are correctly set to 1 and 6, but there is no option for cross sell under the catalog tab.

I have uploaded all of the files in the zip file, but did notice that there is a folder called "Admin" in it which does not exist in the original shop cart, so I just uploaded the complete file.

I have obviously done something wrong, but can anyone tell me what it is?

Many thanks

Your admin folder must have been renamed. When you login to your site the default URL is www.yourwebsite.com/admin. If you use something like www.yourwebsite.com/othername then the "admin" folder for Cross Sell should be renamed to "othername" before uploading the files. Hope that helps.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP

1. Using the Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patch, run the included SQL file (products_xsell.sql)

2. Make sure to change the name of the following directories (from the ZIP) to match your template name:

   /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE

web/includes/modules/

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE 

web/includes/templates/template_default/templates

/includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE

web/includes/languages/spanish/classic

web/includes/extra_datafiles

3. Upload all supplied files in their approporiate folder structure... EXCEPT for the following:
   /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/SAMPLE_ADDITION_TO_tpl_product_info_display_TEMPLATE_FILE.php
   /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/SAMPLE_ADDITIONS_TO_product_info_LANGUAGE_FILE.php
   If you upload these example files, you may encounter template error messages due to the way overrides grab files.

   (Do not upload the install.txt or products_xsell.sql files, as they are not needed on the server.)

4. Open includes/languages/english/product_info.php
   or includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_info.php
   and add:
   define('TEXT_XSELL_PRODUCTS', 'We Also Recommend :');
   define('TEXT_XSELL_PRODUCTS', 'Productos recomendados:');
   just above the final ?> and save it into includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/product_info.php

   The SAMPLE_ADDITIONS_TO_product_info_LANGUAGE_FILE.php can be used for this by copying its contents into product_info.php

4.b. - Repeat step 4 for each of the other product types you intend to use (ie: product_music_info, document_general_info, etc).

5. Now edit your product-info template file (includes/templates/templates_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php) and insert the following code
   at the point where you wish the Cross-Sell box to appear. Usually best at the end of the file:

The SAMPLE_ADDITION_TO_tpl_product_info_display_TEMPLATE_FILE.php contains this same code, and you can copy/paste
from that file into your customized tpl_product_info_display.php

5.b. Repeat step 5 for any other product types for which you wish to enable cross-sell display.
(ie: tpl_product_music_info_display.php, etc)

6. Upload your changes from step 4 / 4.b and step 5 / 5.b to your server.

Installation done.
