1.2.6 Related Products – not working both ways
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 12:11 pm
Hi there
Just went from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6, so I could use the new feature "Related Products". Now as I went on and about I had to realize this works only "one way", meaning when you relate the Nikon D300 to the iMac – in the Demo Shop – the iMac will list the Nikon D300 in Related Products, but the Nikon D300 will not list the iMac.
Now from my point of view this does not make sense as this is not a true relationship, which always works both ways. This more a "attached to" situation, which means you have to "attach" every product twice — not a very efficient way to set up your products, I'd say…
OK, some may like it that way, but I'd see them very much being the minority.
Also, I had just spent hours getting this "Related Products contrib" http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 537#p17285 working on 1.2.5, as I did not know this would be a native function in 1.2.6 This contrib by Henry does indeed work both ways!
Any thoughts, solution on this?
Cheers
