Hey all, I want to write a "module" for xcart (a commercial 'shopping cart') which would be like what Amazon.com offers when you go to shop on their site... when you click on a product to see its details you get a little box below that recommends more products based on what others have purchased eg: If you click on a toy helicopter it would recommend extra rotor blades,landing gear etc eg 2: If you click on Eminem's latest album it would show you his other two albums that people bought with this album etc I'm trying to work out the logic to do this... and quite frankly have hit a brick wall. So far: ------- I was thinking when someone (Joe) purchases X with product id Y I would put that in a seperate table, then when someone (Jane) else comes looking at item Y I would display everything that Joe bought... but then it gets a little complicated, if Jane buys Y and other stuff that Joe didnt buy... how do I merge what Joe and Jane bought to display to the next visitor? (I can only dispaly 5 recommendations at once) I would appreciate any tips/advise and code you can give me, would be fantastic of course if you have worked with xcart or have already done this. (shameless plug) I think this was one of the suggested features of Dan's open source PHPCart (http://code.google.com/p/phpcart) unfortunatly I dont have the OO skill to take part in that project and no time either as we need a cart immd. Note: I dont get anything for recommending the above cart (or xcart for that matter) but if you are interested in joining a free os cart project, you might want to think of looking into the above.
