Using model # is unreliable, I HIGHLY recommend you use the product IDs/skus. Product ids are ALWAYS unique as they are generated by Oscommerce.

Yes, I agree. The SKU is still shown in the pop-up and you must enter the SKU to identify matching products. Displaying the product model only helps you find the right SKU.

I insalled it and it sometimes works and sometimes i only get the Matching items: header but no item under it ( i try the same item)

where is the link to the item
http://www.monpetitchild.net/product_info....;products_id=29

here is the code
<tr>
<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
// MATCHING PRODUCTS
if (tep_not_null($product_info['products_matching'])) {
$product_matches = explode(',', $product_info['products_matching']);
$total_match_count = sizeof($product_matches);
// Display only if more than 1 match
if ($total_match_count > 1) {
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_MATCHING_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
}
?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
echo tep_cache_also_purchased(3600);
} else {

Very strange, what do you have in the admin fields? It's almost like you included some extra spaces... For instance in admin the cross-sell matches would be 567, 421 if those we the matching product ids. It's almost like you added extra products like this: 567,421,,,,,,

Hello,

I installed everything, but after I add the sku's and go to save I get this message:


"1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '0 = '192,135,142', products_date_available = null, products_weight = '1.00', products_st' at line 1

update products set products_ship_sep = '0', products_quantity = '0', products_model = 'Mens-Idiot-001', products_price = '19.9500', 0 = '192', products_date_available = null, products_weight = '1.00', products_status = '1', products_tax_class_id = '1', manufacturers_id = '', products_image = 'idiot-men.jpg', products_last_modified = now() where products_id = '147'

[TEP STOP] "

Any Idea what I did wrong?!

You need 2+ products listed in the cross sell feed for it to show.

[negri21]

is there a way to change the placement of the 3 2 or 1 items i decide to have? like underneath the main items description or somewhere other than the right side?

[lahada]

thank you homewetbear.
that's what I already tried out; I tried woth 2 products, 3, and 5.
doesn't seem to change anything.

I must have gone wrong somewhere but I can't figure out where..

I have STS current version installed - do I have to make any changes to STS ?
anyone got to work this contribution together with STS?

thank you so much for any ideas

[henk3001]

I don`t thing, that you have to make changes into STS - I installed MPCS, too and it works as you can see here:
http://www.run-x.de/shop-2/catalog/product...;products_id=51

Don`t think that you have to make changes into STS.

I've got this contribution installed and working well. http://spacomponents.co.uk/product_info.ph...;products_id=57
I have a dummy product that is deactivated so it doesn't show in the store, and this way the Matching Products contrib will display if there is only one matching product (see this example http://spacomponents.co.uk/product_info.ph...products_id=448 )

QUESTION: I need more than one product image per product. Any ideas of the best contribution to use that works alongside the Matching Products contribution?

It will work with any extra images contrib. There are alot in the contrib section of this site. Big images works well for me, I think it might be called more pics or something similar.

Replace the code with this...

// MATCHING PRODUCTS CONTRIB
if (tep_not_null($product_info['products_matching'])) {
if (substr( $product_info['products_matching'],-1,1) == ',')
{
$product_info['products_matching'] = substr($product_info['products_matching'],0,-1).'';
}
$product_matches = explode(',', $product_info['products_matching']);
$total_match_count = sizeof($product_matches);
// Display only if more than 1 match
if ($total_match_count >= 1) {

Graeme,

Installed it with no problems, thank you for this nice contribution. I tried two other cross-selling contribs before MATCHING PRODUCTS CROSS SELL, and yours is the best by far.

Thanks again,
EricK

I have used this contribution and love it. Now, I have rebuilt my site from scratch after scouring the contribs for all the features I want available in my store. My question is this ..... has anyone successfully installed this contrib with Open Featured Sets (contrib #4066)??? If so, how? My main problem is the merging of the queries used by both contribs, as they both modify the same ones. This is the final contrib I need to plug-in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never used that one myself, but it should work with any contribution.

Hi

Installed this a while ago and all is working but this morning I noticed a small error in my code and have tried all day to solve but can't. How do I add an "add to cart" button underneath?? I've done it but the product_id is ALWAYS the product you are looking at. When you pick "add to cart" the right product does get added AND you are taken to the "product not found" page

This is the code I have modded, I have just formatted it different

'text' => strtoupper($matching_products['products_name']) . '<br><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $matching_products['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $matching_products['products_image'], $matching_products['products_name'] . ' - ' . $matching_products['products_title'] . ' Label Side A', SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><br><a STYLE="text-decoration:underline" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $matching_products['products_id']) . '">' . $matching_products['products_title'] . '</a> (' . $matching_products['products_media'] . ')<br><br>' . $products_price . '<br><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $matching_products['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a>');

And this is the link I get

https://www.icr-records.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=236&action=buy_now&products_id=503&osCsid=1f24c.....

Note 2 different product_id's. 236 is the current item I am viewing and 503 is the matching product_id. I have tried all the "add to cart" functions and still can't get it to work.

Please could someone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Ian
