Just another Cross-Sell mod (support thread)

once you run that, and then you go to your advanced cross sell you should see it says installing patches etc.

havent seen anything like this... ???

best might be to uninstall and redo, but unsure now what files i actually need...

is the link you posted about 10 posts back the most updated file package that contains all the files needed?

Yes, it should contain everything. Now im also assuming you did read the instructions go with the package and followed.

Hi Yellow, thanks for your quick response.

I loaded the new files and no difference. Went through everything and all looks okay, I can see the functions.....

....config tools for model/ID, random sort and separator selection are missing.

....not able to submit multiple entries for xsells

yellow, went thru and deleted individually all files associated with the original cross sell mod, the new one you provided yesterday, and the module manager mod.

i DID NOT get into my phpmyadmin to delete anything.

when i re-installed the module manager, i get this:

Failed: 1
Error ERROR: Cannot create table module_version_tracker because it already exists
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
Error Failed to set up version tracker table

i then went to phpmyadmin and deleted the "module_version_tracker" but still get the error.

i do not want to tamper any further with my phpmyadmin without guidance.

can you advise a sql script or whatever i need to completely dump and retry module manager, so i can get on to the cross sell mod?

thanks.

Oh, if you deleted that specific table, you will have to delete the .keep file which i believe is in admin/includes/module_installation

hmmm... no luck finding the .keep file.. searched multiple ways... only thing in that "module_installation" folder is the install.sql file...

is it possible that the .keep file is still in the database thru phpmyadmin, but not visible elsewhere? if so, how would i search phpmyadmin database for such a file?

next steps/suggestions?

thanks!!!

Your ftp client might have hidden the .keep file :)

hah! afraid you might say that.. i have checked for the file additionally thru CPanel "file manager", (which does sometimes hide files), so then i went to CPanel "file manager legacy" which seems to show everything... and it wasnt there then either... ? how else can i locate this file, or remove the error?

Uhm, did you go to the module manager under tools? (Tho i dont think you have to). It should automatically installs itself (but hey, why is the .keep file not there to begin with? If it's not there you should have received another error when you still have the table tracker)

You may want to just me your temp admin and ftp account lol. It will save both our time.

when i go to module manager under tools, and it tries to auto install/load thats when i get the error:

Failed: 1
Error ERROR: Cannot create table module_version_tracker because it already exists

Okie, now it makes more sense

TROUBLESHOOTING: After installing itself, this module writes a file named ".keep" in admin\includes\module_installation, if your server doesnt allow it to do so, it may make the module attempting to install itself everytime. The fix is easy though, just manually create a .keep file there (after the module has already installed itself, of course)

fair enough, just 2 questions (then hopefully SMOOTH SAILING!!)

1. how do i create a .keep file? it is not an extension i am familiar with... and what should the full file name be? (i do have dreamweaver if that is an easier program to use, or it may be as simple as wordpad?)

2. this says after the module has already installed itself... but it hasn't installed itself, that's why im getting the error? or it has installed itself (simply because i can see it in zen cart admin) it just cant RUN without this file?

huhm, you can simply create such file in your windows, i believe.
For your other question, see above.

ok! that fixed the error in module manager... i am going to try to re-install the x-sell advanced mod from the zip file off your posting yesterday/day before...

i will keep u posted on further developments.

fyi: for anyone else who may have this problem in the future, just go to the correct folder in cpanel file manager, then click new, put in .keep as the file name. it WILL NOT show, it will seem as if it didnt work, but if you go into a more detailed viewer like file manager legacy, it is indeed there.

freaking perfect!! YAY!!

yellow, thanks for your patience! for whatever reason, the download from "free software add-ons" just didnt have the right files or something, but your replacement was fine!

the mod is showing now in the "catalog" AND "configuration" menus...

LOVE the addon!!

if i can trouble you for one more question, i would appreciate it.

i do not use model #s on my products.. (though i could if i need to).. so when i am setting up the cross sells, im not going to remember in 4 months which one is "#4" and which one is "#19"... is there a way to display in admin a master product list, that bypasses the categories and subcategories? i just want to see products 1-50 in a line, where as right now, 1-4 are in collars, 5-9 and 12 are in leashes etc... i have to go into each folder to see what is there...

ur thoughts?
if there is no way to do this, i can assign model numbers i guess... so i can just look them up by my paper database, but sorting in admin either way would be easier!

thanks again.

Right now, only id and model are available. Im working on a new version tho, just havent got the time for it yet

i like the mod the way it is, the question was more geared towards zencart admin itself, not the mod...

is there a way in admin to sort a master list of products, that disregards category, and simply goes 1 thru xx by ID number?

Im talking about the admin, actually.

BTW, you can use id instead of model by going to the configuration setting and choose to use id instead

Hi everyone. I too am getting the "Please input main product's model" error. I tried replacing the init_yclass.php file under admin/includes/init_includes... and it didn't work.

I am trying to remove the module manager as was suggested but I don't know how to remove the 'module_version_tracker' table. Can anyone walk me through it? I am new to SQL.

Hi Yellow 1912, any clue as to what I might be missing?

several configuration options (separator option, ID/model option and sort status ) missing from admin and mod does not recognize my multiple inputs...asks me for 2 or more product IDs when I have added 3 or more with comma separators.

I installed the version you gave me and no change.

Thanks, Robert
