Yet more effective Upsell/Related Products mod

YuriC · #1 05-06-2003, 08:26 PM

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!
