Just another Cross-Sell mod (support thread)

Hi,
I'm about to install this mod, but before I do I have a question. I have 1.3.8 ZC installed with no particular cross-sell mods. 1.3.8 appears to have some native cross-sell support, as it shows "Customers who bought this product also purchased..." which was automatically generated from previous sales.

e.g. http://www.delightfuldaisy.com//index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=253

I just want to make sure I don't lose all of the data, can someone confirm that won't be lost? Will this just be something that shows up above or below that "also purchased" box?

Thanks,
TJ

Hi foteek,

I can confirm that if you actually get it installed and working, it does not conflict with the "Customers who bought this product also purchased..." - you can put the cross-sell above it, or below it, or wherever you want - the other one will still appear. I'd post you an example but I've been implementing this on an experimental store, so I don't really have a link for you.

But installation can be somewhat buggy as the previous posts show. Once you get it installed, however, it really does work nicely. I'm disappointed that the author of this mod hasn't shown up in many months to answer some of these issues, but that's the way it goes. Good luck!

I seem to have everything installed correctly ... As I am able to define my cross sell items ...
MY problem:
Form shows that I have 62 total products, Page displayed is Products 1-20 ... when I try and advance to either page 3,4 or 5 ONLY Page 1 will display. No matter how I try to advance to the next page only page one displays.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Let me know if you guys still experience any problem with this, I'm back after a very long leave ^_^

In the admin area in 1.3.8 the page won't advance to the next page. Indicates page 1 of 7 ... no way to get to pages 2,3,4,5,6 or 7.
Any suggestions? :frusty:

I dont exactly get what you mean. Can you take a screenshot of the problem you describe and post it here?

Well ... I did solve the problem, seems as though the sql patch went in as ascii rather than binary. A switch solved the problem.
Thanks for responding.

Hi, I installed it but I had to cancel the step #5 of the installation since it was getting in conflict with tabbed_products_pro_v1-02 I also use. Somebody know how to have the Cross_sell mod o work in a tab?

The tab pro module should allow you to have cross-sell, check its setting in admin configuration

I have a problem...I don't have Admin->configuration->Cross-sell. I have recopied all the files again; redone all the sql that i am supposed to but no config. I can access Cross-sell and the new Advanced Cross-sell in the Catalog column. As yet the Advanced Cross-sell page does not make sense as only some of the information is on the page and it does not pick up the cross-sells from the original as yet. Has this happened to anyone else? And can anyone help me please????

Ok, I followed the advice of another zenner and it worked! I removed the module manager and presto!

So sorry about posting a third time in a row, but as I fixed one problem I then discovered another. On my website, the pages that have cros-sell items listed, the background colour is incorrect. The background should be white with the background behind the words "We also recommend" set as being burgundy...BUT, all of this is now burgundy. Can anyone suggest how to fix this? Much appreciated. I will then have this module complete.
Thanks

I just installed this on another site of mine and when doing so, the contents in the "We Also Recommend:" centerbox have no padding at the top. The image touches right up against the title. Is there a way I can get it spaced like the Featured products box? I'm not sure which style to edit.

Not the best practice coding suggestion but

in includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/tpl_modules_xsell_products.php add a couple of <br><br> as shown below and it pads it out for you. Just spent half an hour trying to find where to amend the stylesheet with no joy so took a short cut ;)

What prevents you from using css to do that, my friend?

Probably because I am a gobsh!te ;)

Figured this is where it was calling the CSS in tpl_modules_xsell_products

this class was not in my templates css file so I added it and copied it from the default templates etc. but could not get it to pad out changing the border put a border around the box etc so I could not figure out why it would not pad out.

Had me baffled as for example the also purchased function also goes to this class but the also purchased box has the padding in it whereas the cross sell did not.

Spent half an hour at it and then thought ah sod it go for the quick and easy short cut but would really appreciate if you could steer me towards where I went wrong :)

As long as it works for you, it's fine.

However, if you want to check other ways to do it, share with us the css codes you tried, and if possible post the link to your site, or PM me.

I have installed the latest version of the Just Another Cross-Sell Module. If I go to Catalog - Advanced Cross Sell then I am able to add products to the Cross Sell table and everything appears to work fine in my store. However, if I go to Catalog - Cross Sell Products then I get the following error:

/mysite/admin/xsell.php was not found on this server.

Obviously, I don't have xsell.php in my admin directory. I didn't notice this file in the .zip file for this module. Where do I obtain this file from? Am I supposed to install any other cross sell modules along with the Just Another Cross Sell module?

All help is appreciated!

You are not supposed to go there, since it's no longer need. You can remove it from your menu by removing:
admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/x-sell_catalog_dhtml.php

yellow1912,

Thank you! I was a little concerned but I am glad that I have nothing to worry about!

Chris

I just install this Cross Sell mod but I have some problem with the product_info.php file.

I insert this line in that file

define('TEXT_XSELL_PRODUCTS', 'Related Products'); 
```and upload it to includes\languages\english\mytemplate.

All of the sudden the product page goes blank. What seems to be the problem? It reappears if I remove the product_info.php file. By the way I did installed the module manager mod. I don't know if it has to do with tabbed products pro mod. 

Can someone help me on this? Thank you. :(
