Couple of new ideas
1) Badger the developer of the text editor you use to add a spell checker ! Highly annoying having to use a non text editor spell checker (Unless someone has a fix?)

2) An add on that allows for one or two product reccomendations at checkout.
But it has to be used right !
For instance, you sell a buyer a torch, which doesnt come with batteries, so in the catalogue item for torch, a select button for item batteries to be displayed at checkout.
This should not be overdone and you end up having 10 items listed at checkout. Imagine you go to a shop to buy a torch, you might be reccomended for an upgrade to a slightly more expensive item, or some batteries, but the guy behind the counter will get a thump if he spends 15 minutes asking you to buy 10 items !

You could reccomend a better torch, which just happens to be on special offer for just £2 more !

As a very good salesman said to me once, if you can sell everyone 10% extra on accessories at the till, your profit increases by 10% ! And there is nothing worse than getting your prize torch home, only to find you aint got any batteries !

Hi.

  1. The WYSIWYG editor project development and feature requests are available on this link:
    https://github.com/Alex-D/Trumbowyg

For general spell checking you can use the html attribute spellcheck="true" to enable the built in browser spell checker. Any other implementation of spell checking would require logic and a dictionary which is a project larger than LiteCart itself.

  1. That would be a nice add-on. How would you like to be able to configure cross selling? I would like to know how it should operate so tell me more about the under the hood stuff.

Turns out there is already spell checking enabled by default, and it's disabled by spellcheck="false".

Ah !
Where do I insert
spellcheck="true"
Does the editor have its own dir ?

It defaults to true if the parameter is not set. So if spell checking is not working. Check your browser settings or try a different browser.

Trumbowyg does indeed have it's own directory in ext/. But it is the implementation code in func_form.inc.php that sets it's configuration.

 so tell me more about the under the hood stuff.```

I've thought about this before and was going to do something about it, but I couldn't see a better solution than linking products together. Create a database table and associate and save the product ids, and when one of the linked products is purchased, retrieve and list the products from the saved product ids. Then defining the products to be associated in the product edit screen became a more attractive idea. just create a new column and save the ids there and offer these options on the checkout page. I guess too many ideas have accumulated and it makes more sense to try the ideas after 3.0 is released.
