Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Hi, I just installed the mod and have a couple of dumb questions before I go too far. I have a LOT of products and want to know what I am doing is the right way to go about it :smile:

Q1. Adding Cross Sell - one way ... MAIN product then adding product id's - does this mean that only when the MAIN product is added to the cart that the others show up or is it that with ANY of the others added to the cart that the MAIN product will show up ??? (the latter I hope)

Q2. Is there a way to add id's as a range, i.e. id's from 001 to 1001 using an appropriate indicator? - to overcome typing in every single product id (thousands) ??

many thanks in advance for your responses.

cheers,
Mike

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

It is nearly 1 a.m. and I am very tired and frustrated so I apologize in not taking the time to read through this thread for my issue.

I loaded Ultimate Cross Sell onto 2 sites a few days ago and configured cross sell of one item to most products on the site and configured cross sell to show on product page as well as shopping cart - now when a product (any product) is added to the shopping cart ONLY the cross sell item is added to the cart and NOT THE PRODUCT.

I really need some help with this.

cheers,
Mike

pretty sure there isn't a straight forward work around since adding model/id numbers as comma separated values are MySQL appropriate. Adding a "range" of values would mean (I could be wrong here) adding PHP arrays directly into the plugin itself.

there is a known bug when using UCS with Dynamic Price Updater. It's been discussed in this forum on the more recent posts. Nothing, to my knowledge, has been fixed regarding this.

do you have DPU installed as well?

Many thanks BigKick for your responses, I very much appreciate it. I do not have Dynamic Price Updater installed .... so this bug effected by DPU, is it also prevalent in other add-ons? My installed plug-ins are effectively limited to site styling (Lightbox, Image Handler etc.) - I don't have any pricing related add-ons installed yet.

I did install Multi-Cross-Sell and after doing that I realised it was ONLY for v1.5 and I am still running 1.3.9h so I deleted all files (by retracing all the files I installed) so unless I missed one then I don't know if that would be the cause of my problem.

Any assistance you can offer will be appreciated.

cheers,
Mike

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Hi,
I have just installed this module but found that there were no admin links in the menu to get to the two pages. I have inserted the menu link for this page Admin > Catalog > Ultimate Cross Sell but i cannot find any reference in the code for the settings page at Admin > Configuration > Ultimate Cross Sell Settings. if anyone could help out that would be great.
I'm using Version 1.5.0 and the latest version of this module.

Thanks,
Adam

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

This version was designed for Zen Cart 1.3.9h. In order to see anything in the Admin with version 1.5.0, additional files need to be uploaded to your admin folder. This mod as it is right now will not work with the current version of Zen Cart.

Hello Jose,

I really would appreciate some help.

Please post this message in the forum. It may help others experiencing the same problem. I don't mind the private message but you could just post your problem in the forum and message me with a link to it. You are doubling the chances of me being aware of your problem.

Anyway, Your problem may be as a result of adding the code that calls tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php above the form closing tag </form>. Move the code below the tag and let me know how it goes. (Trough the forum, please.)

Take a look at this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?170953-Ultimate-Cross-Sell-Support-Thread&p=1082935#post1082935

Good Luck
Jose

Hi Jose,

I actually did post this in the forum - twice in fact. Please take a look in the thread for a response relating to a 'bug' associated with another plugin used when cross-sell is used and my response to that. I think if you go back through the thread a bit it will give you a better picture.

I am pretty sure I had the code above the </form> but have deleted everything so cannot confirm - I actually had the cross sell product under the add to cart and above add a review, i.e. having it as close as possible to the action button. (p.s. the image, or the div container, was far too big but I couldn't find a way to reduce it - seems it was set for more than one product but I only ever will have the one cross sell item on the particular site - my signature site.

I haven't tried your suggestion and at this stage I am not sure that I will, by that I mean I want the cross-sell product to be right next to, or right below the add to cart button, not at the very bottom of the page. Please don't take offence, just take it as me being a cards on the table guy ok :smile: The first thing I did when the problem arose was to un-select showing the cross-sell on the product pages so that by rights it would show only in the shopping cart checkout. This did not work so I deleted the plugin completely, file by file.

The plug-in obviously works but it is apparent looking at the thread that there are some issues. I now have 5 (five) Zencart sites and I would be prepared to try your plugin on a recent one I launched that is yet to get any ranking so it is not likely to get customers for a while based on the fact that it will work with the Abbington Mega add-on Template from Picaflur Azul, a template I am now standardizing on (except for my signature site at this point). In this template the "add to cart" button is up near the product image, so inside the 'form' div. I would really like to know if it will work with this template.

Believe me when I say I want this plugin to work for me but I cannot afford to be playing trial and error.

cheers,
Mike

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Mike,

Perhaps I didn't explain myself correctly and for that I apologize. According to your post, you are placing the code above the last closing form tag (</form>). You can not do that, the code needs to be placed outside of the form. Placing the code for Ultimate Cross Sell above the tag will replace the product ID for the intended product for that page with whatever the product ID is for the products inside the Ultimate Cross Sell centerbox.

Try this. Since you already removed the code, simply turn on the plugin's sidebox and try to add a regular product to the cart. If the product added seems to be the correct one, chances are that the problem lies on the placing of the code.

Just make sure that when you add the code, it looks something like this:

<!--bof Form close-->
</form>
<!--bof Form close-->

<!-- bof Ultimate Cross Sell Combo --> 
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php'); ?> 
<!-- bof Ultimate Cross Sell Combo -->

</div>

Excellent choice on the template that you will be using. In my opinion, that is the best template currently being offered in the downloads page.

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Jose,

many thanks for your response.

I am not a developer but food for thought - is it possible to have the cross-sell code;

<!-- bof Ultimate Cross Sell Combo --> <?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php'); ?> <!-- bof Ultimate Cross Sell Combo -->

in its own <div>cross sell code plus add to cart</div> AND have another 'add to cart' button in that div so that it can be placed on the page near the add to cart for the product? (in effect a page within a page?). Many / most of my product pages have a lot of text content and the cross-sell will be lost at the bottom of the product page which is well below the 'fold' - most visitors will not read all the text, it is there as much for the crawlers as anything.

Please take a look at this product page for an example of what I mean; http://dazzlers.net.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=682 (Jewellery item - cross sell will be a 'Jewellery Polishing Cloth' - a perfect also add to your cart product)

If it is OK with you I will also pose the question to Anne from Picaflur Azul to get her thoughts (or maybe you should if inclined from a collaborative developers point of view) on how it may fit within her template, that is of course if doing what I said is in fact feasible - it would make the cross sell so much more flexible for those with long product description pages like me. I like the add to cart being right up there where the product image is, no scrolling, just click and pay your money :) - may will not need to read the description details so may not scroll so therefore not see the cross sell item.

Anyway Jose - over to you.

cheers,
Mike

p.s. the extra add to cart button would be designated with certain text and maybe colour indicating that it is for the specific cross sell item (??)

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Mike,

It is your site. Feel free to ask anyone you choose for advice. I'm sure that Anne is very knowledgeable and will be able offer some good advice as well.

I don't think I really understand your intentions. Why the two add to cart buttons? Are you trying to let customers add either product to the cart. If that is the case. I don't think that is going to work. It is not that simple, even worse if the product in the cross sell has attributes. I created something like that a while ago for a template I sold on my site. I no longer have it. You can see one of their product pages with the two "Add To Cart" buttons, even with the cross sell items having attributes (click here to see the page). Be aware that the website sells lingerie and it is in a language I don't understand. Anyway, The only way I managed to achieved having two "Add To Cart" buttons was using Ajax for the Cross Sell.

About the placement of the ultimate cross sell, to be honest, I have not looked at the plug in in quite a while but if I'm not mistaken, it is already contained within its own division. You should be able to place it anywhere as long as it is not inside the form tags <form></form>. I understand that is not much help since the form tags take the entire length of the product info page but it does not need to be.

Take the following code located at the top of the file:

<!--bof Form start-->
<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product', $request_type), 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"') . "\n"; ?>
<!--eof Form start-->
``` and place it immediately above
```php
<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->

Take the following line of code located at the bottom of the file:

<!--bof Form close-->
</form>
<!--bof Form close-->
``` and place it immediately below:
```php
<!--eof Attributes Module -->

You should end up with something like this:

<!--bof Form start-->
<?php echo zen_draw_form('cart_quantity', zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), zen_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=add_product', $request_type), 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"') . "\n"; ?>
<!--eof Form start-->

<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->
<?php
if (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL == 3 and TEXT_LOGIN_FOR_PRICE_BUTTON_REPLACE_SHOWROOM == '') {
  // do nothing
} else {
?>
            <?php
    $display_qty = (($flag_show_product_info_in_cart_qty == 1 and $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart($_GET['products_id'])) ? '<p>' . PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT_IN_CART . $_SESSION['cart']->get_quantity($_GET['products_id']) . '</p>' : '');
            if ($products_qty_box_status == 0 or $products_quantity_order_max== 1) {
              // hide the quantity box and default to 1
              $the_button = '<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);
            } else {
              // show the quantity box
    $the_button = PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT . '<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="' . (zen_get_buy_now_qty($_GET['products_id'])) . '" maxlength="6" size="4" /><br />' . zen_get_products_quantity_min_units_display((int)$_GET['products_id']) . '<br />' . zen_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$_GET['products_id']) . zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_IN_CART, BUTTON_IN_CART_ALT);
            }
    $display_button = zen_get_buy_now_button($_GET['products_id'], $the_button);
  ?>
  <?php if ($display_qty != '' or $display_button != '') { ?>
    <div id="cartAdd">
    <?php
      echo $display_qty;
      echo $display_button;
            ?>
          </div>
  <?php } // display qty and button ?>
<?php } // CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL == 3 ?>
<!--eof Add to Cart Box-->

<!--bof Product details list  -->
<?php if ( (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model != '') or ($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) or ($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) or ($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name))) ) { ?>
<ul id="productDetailsList" class="floatingBox back">
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model !='') ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL . $products_model . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT .  $products_weight . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . $products_quantity . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . $manufacturers_name . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>
</ul>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php
  }
?>
<!--eof Product details list -->

<!--bof Attributes Module -->
<?php
  if ($pr_attr->fields['total'] > 0) {
?>
<?php
/**
 * display the product atributes
 */
  require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_attributes.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_attributes.php'); ?>
<?php
  }
?>
<!--eof Attributes Module -->

<!--bof Form close-->
</form>
<!--bof Form close-->

Doing so will give you much more room to place the Ultimate Cross Sell line of code and you could also use some css to adjust the location the exact way you want.

Now I should ask you. Wouldn't it be simpler to just turn on the cross sell sidebox placing it at the top of column two?

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Mike,

I would suggest you remove the language sidebox (you only have one language installed). It is not giving anybody an option to do anything. You should also remove the search box. You have the search header almost right above it. Chances are your customers will see the search header before they see the search sidebox. That leaves plenty of room for the cross sell sidebox and it would be displayed above the fold.

You may also want to look at the Better Together plug in.

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Hi Ultimate_zc

I was wondering if you could help. I have installed the mod however I have an issue in Admin, the module does not show up. I have reinstalled and even installed each individual file to ensure they are all where there should be, but sill no luck.

If I type: https://assceneoncom.ipage.com/catalog/aso_church/ultimate_cross_sell.php I can see the mod so I know it's there. Any ideas?

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

If you are using Zen Cart 1.3.9h and it doesn't show it may be because it hasn't been installed properly. If you are using Zen Cart 1.5.0, it will not show. It was not designed for 1.5.0 therefore, it lacks files that need to be uploaded to the Admin folder.

Go through the steps once again (if you are using 1.3.9h).

Also, you may have to rename your admin folder. You just posted the name here for everyone to see. Regardless, that link would not be of any help without username or password.

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

Hi, Ultimate_zc, after i installed your plugin, i got an error below the product information:

Warning: include(includes/modules/FILENAME_CROSS_SELL_PRODUCTS.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mywebsite/includes/templates/WG_puregreen/templates/tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sell_products.php on line 18 Warning: include(): Failed opening 'includes/modules/FILENAME_CROSS_SELL_PRODUCTS.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php5ext/php/') in /mywebsite/includes/templates/WG_puregreen/templates/tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sell_products.php on line 18...............

I checked the directory "...mywebsite/includes/modules", there was no "FILENAME_CROSS_SELL_PRODUCTS.php" file, please help me.

by the way, i am using 1.3.9h, and i have changed the "admin" folder name.
thank you in advance.

Re: Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

@ultimate_zc,

first of all thank you for your very nice and useful addon... Just installed on my 1.3.9h following instructions and everything flawlessy...

I've anyway noticed there is a parameter which seems not being working for me on Settings:
"Related - Sidebox Display Products - Max"
whatever value I enter here, I always get the default value applied on the frontend... (-> 3 !)

I've tried with Cross-Sell and Up-Sell values, and they work correctly...

Do you have any hint on what I should check to see if it's only me ?

LastBNL, a suggestion. The word "model" which is appearing in ->Catalog->UltimateCrossSell pages is not available as translat-able... it seems coded elsewhere and I'm not yet confident editing those php files (usually I make the whole shop crash... :-) !!!).

Thank you again.
