Hello everybody

Is is possible, when you select and open a product page, suggest other products?

I know I can use the "content modules", in particular selectiing "in the same categories" or "related products" in the option "content on product page".

But with "related products" I have to manually indicate which products suggest for each product and it is difficult considering we add new products each months.

Whatelse the option "in the same categories" is not suitable for me because I inserted each product in different categories, and some catagories are just working categories and include also product that I want not suggest.

Do you think is possibile to specify a category when you select the option "in the same categories"?

Otherwise is there another way?
For example I use different custom fileds to classify my products, it will be great if Hika could use them to automatically suggest some products.

Thanks!

Hi,

I guess that a choice "people who bought that product also bought..." in the "content on product page" option.
HikaShop would be able to know that by looking at the orders product data.

That could potentially be something we could had without too much trouble I think.

What do you think about that ?

Hello Nicolas

I think it will be a great functionality that Hika should have in the future (I know Amazon is using something similar for example)

I my case (I sell subscriptions) is a little bit different because when you open a product page I just want to suggest other products (I cannot use your functionality because a sell very few products outside the subscriptions so the system should not find what products to suggest).

I imagine that use the custom fileds is a little bit complicated, but do you think is a mess insert a "optional" category when you select the option "in the same categories"?
In that way you can choose to specify a category o leave it blank (in that case the behaviour is exacly the same of today). If you select a category should be a great option if you can also specify "select also child categories".

Thanks and regards

Hi,

I indeed think that it's a bit too much to ad by default in HikaShop.
I think that it's something which could be achieved with a custom plugin implementing the onBeforeProductListingLoad trigger www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...reProductListingLoad which allows you to add custom conditions to the SQL query loading the products listings.

You can create a normal hikashop plugin and implement the function like that:

function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters){
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
if(!$app->isAdmin()) $filters[]='b.product_quantity!=0';
}

That will remove out of stock products from the products listings (there is already an option for that but it's an example).

Hi,
I was wondering if the HikaShop team ever followed that "customers who bought this also bought that" idea. I am considering HikaShop for one of my client's website and he really wants to have automatically generated product suggestions.
If you have, i am willing to pay for it (or, rather, he is); if not, i'll have to develop that myself. My schedule is a bit full, so the first option would be better for both me and you...
