Default product.tpl & products.tpl on same page
I haven't tested this, but was wondering if this is possible, or would it cause conflict issues?

Thanks

Not sure that is possible, as they use different code to call product items. You'd need to rewrite product.tpl to use the products.tpl code.

I'm pretty sure it won't work - they use different variables.

That's not possible without customizing PHP code.

OK - so maybe I could achieve the same using another function.

I am looking to place thumbnails of the same category products in 2 or 3 columns down one side of the product display so it is easy to choose another to look at.

Maybe I could use "Bestsellers" or something?

Has anyone done anything similar?

Why not use the upselling links module? That's exactly what it does

Cool - I'll take a look at upselling links - I've never used them yet

Thanks

With Upselling links - can you do it category wide rather than for each product?
