Salvo Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Hi all, Can someone tell how the "Customers who bought this product also purchased box" works? is it a contribution? Thanks Salvo
Ajeh Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Buy two products ... then go back and look at one of those products and the other product will be displayed underneath. This is part of the current v2.2, I cannot say as to whether that is in v2.1 as I do not use it :D
Salvo Posted October 10, 2002 Author Posted October 10, 2002 Hi Linda, Thanks for telling me that... My problem now is that I will want to use this function in one osc that don't sell direct online. so there will not be any 2 product bought but I still like to use the option... How do I do that? Praticly I will want say ( Customers who bought this product also purchased ) ... even if wasn't bought online on shop or just something like products association... Thanks Salvo
Ajeh Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 When sold off line have someone go online and buy it from another store/subdirectory where they can purchase online that way you have your showroom shop in one directory and your hidden shop in another but they would use the same MySQL so the data would reflect from one to the other. :D
Salvo Posted October 10, 2002 Author Posted October 10, 2002 OK lets see to understand better how its works... I should use a second osc shop placed in a sub-directory that uses the same database. When someone buy 2 product I should enter them in the sub shop as if that customer had shopped on line so that the "Customers who bought this product also purchased" show the related product? is there a quicker way? for example what fields are used to related the product bought? couldn't I just enter them manually without all the purchase process? Thanks Salvo
Ajeh Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 It's faster to do a quick purchase than it is to hunt through the MySQL databases and try to match things up and match them up correctly. :D
Salvo Posted October 10, 2002 Author Posted October 10, 2002 Ok Thanks again, I take your advice on this... Salvo
jon_l Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Why do you need a second / sub shop? Just order the products yourself through your shop - one order for each of all the related products. The only downside is that you'll have to correct the stock counts, and you'll have a fake order. Not the end of the world though, and you'll have the same problems with a second / sub shop. If you know a bit of php and sql, you could hack also_purchased_products.php - something along the lines of setting the data directly rather than via the sql query. If you have a look at this file you can see how it builds the display. We also sell products outside of OSC. I add the sales in manually on a special customer id. Maybe this would be a better solution. It works well as you can track all of the sales and stock counts etc easily. Jon.
Ajeh Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 From the sounds of it the online shop is just a showroom. There are no ordering abilities, thus the need for the second hidden site using the same MySQL database to do the purchasing that occurs in the real showroom to show how people tend to buy :D

I am doing a sort of showroom with not purchasing ability this time around... I am getting there slowly slowly... almost ready I needs some other hacks. I will follow your advice this time around... :-) Thanks Salvo
