Official Extension
Official extensions are maintained and supported by Rails Dog and the Spree community. Every effort is made to ensure these extensions are updated to support each Spree release.
Related Products
This extension provides a generic way for you to define different types of relationships between your products, by defining a RelationType for each type of relationship you’d like to maintain.
You can manage RelationTypes via the admin configuration menu, and you can maintain product relationships via Related Products tab on the edit product UI.
Possible uses
- Accessories
- Cross Sells
- Up Sells
- Compatible Products
- Replacement Products
- Warranty & Support Products
Relation Types
When you create a RelationType you can access that set of related products by referencing the relation_type name, see below for an example:
rt = RelationType.create(:name => “Accessories”, :applies_to => “Product”) => #<RelationType id: 4, name: “Accessories” …> product = Product.last => #You can access all related products regardless of RelationType by:
product.relations => []Discounts
If you install the spree-automatic-coupons extension you can also specify a discount amount to be applied if a customer purchases both products. Note: In order for the coupon to be automatically applied, you must create a coupon of type: RelatedProductDiscount and leave the code value empty (blank codes are required for coupons to be automatically applied).
Help, can anybody post some sample code some where to do a front end for this extension, say when your in the description page (before the basket page)of spree and underneath the properties and values I need to have product variants rendered i.e a thumbnail, a truncated description, permalink and price, I am sure it would take some expert 10 minutes, want to learn rails so bad but it will take me too long and I am nearly bald, I would be very great full of the help thanks B.

Hi. I have a question to Rails Dog team. When you're planing to launch this extension's new version? We're developing new site on Spree 0.4, and we're waiting with Spree 0.4 compatible version. Thanks for your answer.
Just a note to anyone installing on 0.60.x ... the version was bumped on GitHub, but not here. You should install gem 'spree_related_products', :git => 'git://raw.github.com/spree/spree_related_products.git', :ref => 'ace985694e2ffa63d53e0abac8e1ec5694d99d33'
