Benjjj6 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Is there a contribution i can install that will show other products related to the one my customer is viewing. You can see this on alot of sites and it normally says "you may also like" or " customers who bought this also bought"... Heres a link to my site, as I have a template installed I have a feeling that what i want to do may be more difficult? www.discountmania.co.uk any ideas?

Jack_mcs Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 There is an Also Bought option already built into the shop althugh it doesn't work exactly as it should. There is a contribution to fix this. There is also the Family Products contribution that should do what you want.

Benjjj6 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 where can I find the also bought option in the admin panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjjj6 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 The Family products contribution looks like it is exactly what I want, however, there are different versions and I was hoping you could shed some light on which I should use? Which of these two should I install: Family Products v3.0 or Family Products MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The Also Bought option I mentioned isn't something you can control. It is always on and a box will appear if someone purchases something that someone else purchased. Use the 3.0 version of that contribution. The other, as far as I know, is no longer supported.

Benjjj6 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 hi, how does related products differ from family products? Ive installed family products but am having a few issues with the way it works. for example, it either lists the products alphabetically so my customers only ever get to see the first 10 or so products, or it lists them randomly and the items are not related to what the customer is viewing. Not very user friendly! Will related products be any better? Do you use it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonabc Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Never used Family Products so I can't say but yes I use Related Products a lot. You can assign (thru Admin) individual products that relate to individual products. They appear underneath the main product info and pic.

Benjjj6 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 ^ if you have more than, say 10 products in one group, will it rotate them, or show them randomly? because that is what i am after as Family products only ever shows the first few products in the group so you never see more than that.

Wait for version 4 (should be out in a few days) and install that one. It will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjjj6 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 ^ kool thanks for the heads up.

Wait for version 4 (should be out in a few days) and install that one. It will be worth it. I was getting ready to install what's up there (v. 3.3c) and noticed your post. Is it just about ready, or should I just go with 3.3c for now? (very excited to be using this!) Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you install it now, the upgrade to V4.0 when available is fairly easy also. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
