 Hi all, I will have just a few categories on my site but many tags associated with every product. What i want is to show my customers 4 products related to the product they are viewing. Those 4 products should be in 1x4 grid, below the main product (on a single product page) and choice should be based on the most appropriate tags combination. Has anybody done this on his/her site? Which module should I use (AFAIK it's rather Drupal content issue, so i suppose there is a Drupal module)?    
Re: Similar products showed on a product page
The Upsell module for Ubercart allows you to select products (but only on a per-product basis). For your needs I would look at Similar By Term on drupal.org, as that seems more like what you want to do. I'm actually planning on updating Upsell to work the same way - or better yet, one of two ways: the current (select list) and also the same way the Similar by Term module works - using taxonomy terms and possibly relevance by node content.. but that's a bit of a ways away still. Hopefully the next month or two.
Re: Re: Similar products showed on a product page
Thanks for a quick repsonse. I will wait for your module, as it is UC-branded one Can't wait to see it working! 
cloudmine, I am using the
cloudmine, I am using the Similar By Terms Drupal module on my UC powered site. I have a lot of products but have only configured but a couple with tags to test the similar by terms module. A couple of things regarding this method: 1) It only displays the similar product title, or optionally, title + teaser. I wished it had an image along with it and definitely wished they were arranged in a 4x1 or even 4x2 grid, but of course it's not coded for a shopping cart environment! 2) I don't like how the system uses a backward-logic for setting terms. If you sell a can of vegetables, you have to enter "Opener" for it's search term in order for it to find your similar product called "Can Opener". The reason why I don't like this is if in the future you come out with a new product, say you sell a "Pantry", you can't simply link the Pantry to all of your canned foods because each of them don't know what that product is. You have to go in one-by-one to update every canned foods list of terms to include the word "Pantry". It seems you could just specify what the product is, like, terms could be: "can, vegetables, food" and then when you setup your "Pantry" product, it's terms would be "pantry, food, towels, shirts, socks" and it would automatically find your canned goods based on the "food" term. I hope I am making since here! I have never heard of the Upsell module for UC (in fact last night I JUST discovered there are "Contributions" here, I never knew about this!!) and will be installing it tonight to check it out. torgosPizza: X2!!! I would GREATLY appreciate you making this work for us!! Regards,
Re: cloudmine, I am using the
I got heavily distracted with our current site and some other ongoing projects but this is still a feature I'd like to implement (as an option, at the least). Thanks for reminding me about it
Re: Re: cloudmine, I am using the
I believe you already have this working! Your block view option is exactly what we are looking for, I just didn't know about it when I posted above. Install the Upsell contrib, do NOT even WASTE YOUR TIME with the similar by terms drupal mod, and enable a block view that you can place in your template, and it will only appear on pages you specify such as product pages! AWESOME! PERFECT!
Problem with Upsell and themed product page
Hi. I have a themed product page (page-type-product.tpl.php). The upsell products appear, with the add to cart, and options, just as they should. But the product does not get added to the cart. I notice that the action on the upsell form is the product page that I'm already on. Is that right? If so, is there a hook that's not firing? |
