admin->configuration->Cross Sell Settings

Is not showing up in Admin area?

Have you "installed" it?
admin->catalog->Multi Cross Sell (then install it)

I can't install it because it is not showing up in my Configuration menu in the admin.... unless I am misunderstanding the readme file. I have no 'Multi Cross Sell' option appearing in my Configuration menu to click 'Install'. Please help.

There is a typo in the instructions.

You need to go to
admin->catalog->Multi Cross Sell
to install it, first

before it will show in admin->configuration->Cross Sell Settings

If it is not showing in admin->catalog->Multi Cross Sell, then you have missed something in the upload to your (renamed) admin directory

Ok, thank you. I now have it installed but it is still not showing up under Configuration. I will review the files I ftp'd for my admin area. Thanks for the help.

In reviewing the files I've uploaded to my admin area, I saw this line of code in multi_xsell_definitions file:

define('TABLE_PRODUCTS_MXSELL', DB_PREFIX . 'products_xsell');

I don't have a db prefix for, so would this be causing the problem I'm having or is it unrelated? If so, what might be the possible fix?

No that won't cause a problem!

Did you have a previous Cross Sell mod installed?
Are you using "Admin Profiles" or similar to restrict access?

I am assuming that you have gone to admin->catalog->Multi Cross Sell?
Then clicked "install"?
You should now be able to add cross sells on this page?

Admin Profiles was it! I didn't think to check it out after I 'installed' Multi Cross Sell - thanks for the help.

Am i supposed to change the code and write the digits
('1', '2', '3', '4', '5' etc) all the way up to 800 or 900 so i can make cross sells for all our products!!:blink:
Surely there is another way?
Thanks

I think you are mis-understanding how this works....

The above defines the different headers that you might use to show the cross sells
Most cross sells use only one header such as
"We also recommend"
Under this one header you can have an "unlimited" number of cross sells
In fact if that one header works for you then you don't need any more headers.

Having more headers enables you to be more specific as to the cross sells.

eg: selling phones you might have one header "Similar Products" to show similar phones.

Another might be "These cases fit this phone" to show add on cases for this phone.

Another might be "These plans suit this phone" to show different phone plans.

Thanks for that, but im still not quite sure...:dontgetit

I have around 80 product ranges
with around 6 products in each range
So id like to cross sell to work when a user clicks on a particular range
the other products in that range are displayed.

So i started setting up the cross sells (using product id numbers)
Cross sell 1
11,12,13,14,15
Cross sell 2
14,15,15,17,18
etc
How do i combine the cross sells for different products within one header?

Thanks again

Start off and use ONE cross sell only
Assuming you are using the "multi way" cross sell
Entering 11,12,13,14,15
Means if you view product 11, then 12,13,14,15 will be shown as cross sells for that product
View: 11 CrossSell: 12,13,14,15
View: 12 CrossSell: 11,13,14,15
View: 13 CrossSell: 11,12,14,15
View: 14 CrossSell: 11,12,13,15
View: 15 CrossSell: 11,12,13,14
You end up with 5 products that show 4 cross sells for that product

Now still using the 1st Cross Sell
Entering 21,22,23
Means if you view product 21, then 22,23 will be shown as cross sells for that product
View: 21 CrossSell: 22,23
View: 22 CrossSell: 21,23
View: 23 CrossSell: 21,22
You end up with 3 products that show 2 cross sells for that product

You now have 8 products in total that show cross sells

If you want you can keep entering your 80 product ranges of 6 items each here, all under the one cross sell

Heres an example of ONE way cross sells using one header
www(dot)p a n d o r a b e a d s(dot)com(dot)au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77&products_id=1760
(remove spaces and change (dot) to .)

click thru to the next products and you will see the cross sells change to suit the product.

Heres an example of MULTI way cross sells using a different (relevent to the product) header
www(dot)p a n d o r a b e a d s(dot)com(dot)au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77&products_id=1760

click thru to the following products..

This website use 4 different headers
and has hundreds of different of cross sells

The other 2 headers used are here:
www(dot)p a n d o r a b e a d s(dot)com(dot)au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=52&products_id=1069
and here:
www(dot)p a n d o r a b e a d s(dot)com(dot)au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16&products_id=129

Thanks for taking the time and I totally get how this works.
What i cant understand about above is:
If the item numbers are all entered in one continuous cross sell as above, whats to stop items 22,23 showing up with items 12,13 etc

If you want you can keep entering your 80 product ranges of 6 items each here, all under the one cross sell

wouldn't this just look like : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc
isn't there some sort of delimiter needed between each group of numbers.
I hope there will be a bolt of lightning hitting my think head soon!
Thank you
