Overview:

The Cross Sell Advanced module has its own sort order for each product that offers cross sells. This means that if you use the same sort order for products that are offered in cross sells, you have to set it every single time you add that product. What common cross sell gives you is the ability to set a sort order once on each product and have that sort order respected by the Cross Sell module.

At the current time, Common Cross Sell is integrated into Cross Sell Advanced and Extended family, but it could be integrated into any cross selling module with very little effort.

Common Installation Problems:

  1. If you are running STRICT MySQL, you could get an error updating your database with a blank value for products_xsell_sort_order. Just be sure to cast it to integer before using it in an insert or update, i.e.

       $_POST['products_xsell_sort_order'] = (int)zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['products_xsell_sort_order']);
