I want to link two products together so that when the customer reads about a particular perfume I am selling the description can say "this perfume also goes perfectly with perfume ........" - I am thinking that maybe I could highlight the text of the other perfume so that when the customer clicks on this text they are taken automatically to the second product. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks

karen

You could add an html link in product description
of first product, to second product..OR you could
also offer a discount if visitor purchases both
via Better Together Mod from
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=309

Thanks Dezina,

Can you please explain exactly where I need to insert this code - is it within the product description? and also how I highlight the wording so when someone clicks on the word they are taken to the other product.
thanks

Karen

Yes..
Sorry, don't understand what you mean??
Stylesheet Css of your template should show text links in different
colour/s to rest of text..

To save you having to redo your links when you put your store online, it'll be better to do it like this.

If you use the http://localhost part of the URL when the store is live, it will try to link to a page on the user's own computer rather than on the website resulting in an error.

Thanks to your help I have now sorted out exactly what I wanted to do with the linking of products.....I am really getting into zencart. I have nearly input all my products and I can't wait to get things up and running over the next couple of months.

Thanks again for all your help.

Karen.

ok I am confused now! Daughter had 7 friends sleepover last night so that may be the real reason!
When I link products I simply highlight the bit of text that is to take them to another product and click on the lhyperlink ink icon which brings up the little box to insert the other url?
That is when I am doing a product description that is.
example
http://www.blushfashions.com/index.p...roducts_id=514
has a link ot other products this way
I know it doesn't sound too technical but this is right isn't it?

I think that method works perfectly well Tinkerbell...

You could even replace the link text with an image of a product you want to link to so customers can see what product they are going to look at in more detail...

A lot of my products could be linked to lots of other products on my site so I'm trying to install the cross sell mod, but having problems installing it at the moment.

I could use the method you described, but I think it would take too long if I wanted to link each product to several other products and back again...

after highlighting the text where do i find the hyperlink icon?
Thanks

Are you linking to something else in a product description? if so all the little tool buttons are above, similar to what you would see when posting a thread on a forum like this.
