Cross Sell ?

I need to get Cross Sell but don't know which one to get. I have 1.3.8 and I have seen posts of the original Cross Sell and Advanced Cross Sell. What do I do? Thanks.:blink:

Anybody? I could really use some help with this.

In order to use Advanced Cross Sell, you need to have Cross Sell installed first. I've found Advanced Cross Sell to be a bit easier to set up products on using just the IDs. Since you need Cross Sell anyways to use the Advanced, you could try installing just that one first and seeing if it fits your needs, then decide if you'd like the other one.

When I go to download about six different ones show up. Which is the original?

This is the original cross sell I think you're looking for.

It's the one I use.

Probably, but that is the spanish version.

Scroll down to the 3rd download in the cross sells, you'll see v1.3.1 by Granville. That is what I've been using without any problems, but I haven't tried it with zen v1.3.8 yet.

Hope that helps.

I would highly recommend

Cross Sell - Just Another Cross Sell Mod****

most comprehensive and easiest to use.

If you are going to use "Cross Sell - Just Another Cross Sell Mod", I'd recommend the newest version (not yet available on ZC download section):
https://svn.rubikintegration.com/zencart_mods/cross_sell_advanced/

It has all the new features and new bugs fixed.

Thanks everyone for helping. When I click on the new version I get a security certificate error.

Because I did not get the certificate for that server. That is not a problem, just accept the cert temporarily.

Thanks. :smile:

Sorry for so many questions but I am so totally new at this and learning as I go, what do I do now? do I copy each file one by one to my hard drive and then do I upload them to just my custom folders? Thanks. :blink:

First I would read the read_me.txt file over and intake as much as you can even if it doesn't all make sense yet.

Yes, you have to save each file one by one then upload them into the correct directory. In this case you don't put any files into your CUSTOM directories, just the directories that you see listed on that site. So start with copying to your admin directory the xsell_advanced.php file. Then goto admin/includes and you'll see more directories. In these directories are either files, or more directories; copy the files to the equivalent directory on your store. It is just important to put the files in the right directories the way you see them on that site that yellow1912 provided.

Also, you will need to create a directory called "js" in your root directory (this is the same directory that has the admin folder and includes folder in it --- so, not in those folders, but alongside those folders. Copy the file dynamic_input_field.js into the new "js" folder you just created.

Once you have put the files into the correct folders, the next step is to run the sql patch called alpha2_rev64.sql by logging into your admin area.

After you got all the files uploaded to your server, and you think it went good, get back to this forum, and someone will let you know how to apply the sql patch if you ask.

Just wanted to make sure, but you do all this copying for both the original and the advanced right?

The readme file should have explained everything, if there is no need to copy then I would not leave the files there.
