Re: [PHP] related products, how to's best practices

[Jon Bennett]

They are in groups (type, category) but the problem is the way their 
products relate doesn't correspond to their type (book, video etc) or 
their category (like Classic Books, Rewarding Social Skills etc) and 
some products appear in more than one category as well.

Any other ideas ??

Thanks,

Jon

When they add the products in the first place, couldn't they put them
into groups? You could then code something to select 3 random products
out of the same group, they would, by their grouped nature, be
"related" and no-one has to admin anything.
