Yet more effective Upsell/Related Products mod

Following template results in a small table that contains the links to upsell/related products. I placed it right under the product image. That way it gets more exposure. Remember, average user wont scroll more then 90 lines

Code:

{* $Id: related_products.tpl,v 1.7 05/06/2003 10:27:05 acidleak Exp $ *}

{if $product_links ne ""}

<table border=0  width="170" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1>

<tr><td class=DialogBorder><font class=UpsellTitle>This works well with</font></td>

<tr><td class=DialogBorder>

        <TABLE border=0 cellPadding=3 cellSpacing=0 width="100%">

                <tr class="ItemsList">

                        <td class="DialogBox">

{section name=cat_num loop=$product_links}

<a href="product.php?productid={ $product_links[cat_num].productid }" target=_blank>

<font class=UpsellLinkText>•{$product_links[cat_num].product}</font>

</a>




{/section}

                        </td>

                </tr>

        </table>

</td></tr>

</table>

{/if}

Use it as follows:

Code:

<center>

{if $active_modules.Upselling_Products ne ""}








{include file="modules/Upselling_Products/related_products_small.tpl" }

{/if}

</center>

Next post show how to display upsells inside of cart.php (have to figure it out)

happy hacking,

Nice Mod Acidleak.

Just implemented it and I like it.

Note: the name of the tpl should be related_products_small.tpl. Do not overwrite your existing related_products.tpl. This way you can have the mod working under your thumbnail as well as the upselling links at the bottom of the product detail.

Let's sell more! :)

Where does the first code need to be placed?

And the second, needs to be placed in the file, and at a spot where you actually want it to appear correct?

Thanks

The first set of code creates your "NEW" .tpl file.

The second is the implementation in customer/product.tpl.

You can see it on my site at http://www.adpmods.com/xcart.

Nice simple mod :) I love small mods that can seriously help your upsell.

where should I place this new .tpl file?

is it to be named related_products_new.tpl? and do I need to specify this name in any other .tpl's to call it up?

Thanks

The path for the new file is called out in the second chunk of code.

Skin1/modules...

the second chunk of code calls the new .tpl from products.tpl

Make sure you read through the code. It is all there.....

Good Luck! LOL!
