  1. I'm new to OS commerce, but not new to coding, so I'm a little sketchy on the OScommerce workings, but I hope I DO get it. I was thinking the easy populate module allows you to change the code (PHP) to add additional fields to the csv file you upload. The way the easypopulate module is written is that this can be done very simply if the fields are to be added to wither the products or product description tables, if not then there is a lot of code to write to populate another table with the info. My thoughts were that if the x-sell module added linked products into the products table in an extra field, then I could ammend the easypopulate module with ease. If however, it turns out that the x-sell has its own new set of tables, then it becomes a little more complicated. To be honest, I'm looking for the easiest / simplest option and all thoughts are welcomed. Please let me know if I DON'T GET IT, as I really need to understand how OS Commerce is put together.
  2. When I said "Linked Products" Earlier I didn't realise there was a number of different modules you could use. I have the default x-sell module installed. To use the easypopulate madule, it can only update the products and products_description tables. Does anyone know where the x-sell puts the linked product items to? Is it in a field in either of these tables ??
  3. I am looking to implement a 'B' grade product system whereby I want to link say a "damaged" product ( with new productID ) to the "undamaged" one. Could I use the liked products to link them so the customer would see the full value item, and then the reduced rate item as a linked product ? This may intice the customer to take the damaged product? Let me know your thoughts.. I think I will look into this further. Also, I upload my products as a CSV using th easypopulate method. Would it be possible to add the linked here to save time?
